So I just told Mario at work about my parrot bite...this led to her revealing that her monkey escaped and bit three people and was featured on the Spanish station's "Real TV" television show as the "Mad Monkey."
My story is now null.

Anklebiters
Well it was bound to happen sooner or later!
I was finally attacked by my Hollywood Boss's parrot. We've had a stand-off for quite some time now so I was hoping it just wouldn't happen but alas - tonight it did. (By "stand-off" I mean that if the bird was out of his cage... I would stand-off in a locked room somewhere.) I was hoping there was an unstated pact between us considering I'd once saved his life by snatching him out of the jaws of a Rottweiller. (Mind you...the Rottweiller is a sweetheart that was probably trying to be friendly when the small green one attacked him.) The pact only lasted for that one day apparently.
Today I was a silent threat as Hollywood Boss allowed him to wander around her current quarters while saying sweet things like "Oh look who's coming to visit. Oh isn't he so smart. How does a bird with a pea-brain know his momma is in this room." Then, the genius that she is - knowing FULL WELL that he attacks feet, says "Move your feet a little so that he notices you're in the room." I comply and then hear her shout "PULL 'EM UP!!" as he beelines to my moving feet.
Now I have the evil bugger clamped to my ankle while I try not to panic and say "Pull what up??" She meant the feet which she is now removing him from. Wearing a confused and slightly shocked smile - I head for the bathroom and close the door while she carries the flapping freak to his cage.
The nastiest thing that the stupid college-named bird managed to do was NOT break the skin so I don't get to show off my ankle bite. All I have is a beak-clamp bruise.
Now I'm showing off my fake bravado while going into the room he's in to get myself a drink. Meanwhile, he's making bully-jumps at the bird toys in his cage to scare me. ("You want a piece of me?! Yeah bitch - I'll do it again! You see this rubber ball with the bell - yeah that's your other foot!")

Find YOUR AQ
Yeah - I saw those commercials. The lady on the skateboard cracked me up so I did have to go to the website (http://www.findyourAQ.com).
Guess what - its a car commercial!!
But just the same - my "Adventure Quotient" is Active Investigative Explorer. My secondary AQ is Inward Inspirational Seeker. Essentially - I'm open-minded, curious and into novelty. I'm seeking personal growth. Yeah - that makes sense. The website said I was part of a select group as only 2% of the test-takers were in this group. Miriam says that's code for "Weird and Obscure."

So another friggin' person asked me what was wrong with my eye! And here I thought it was unnoticable now. Really its still red but not irritated or anything. It doesn't itch. I haven't been one-eyed crying. Doesn't feel scratched.
The optometrist (who I'd luckily scheduled an appointment with last Saturday) said he saw no scratches on the eye so it must just be some allergic reaction. The thing is - its not irritated! So I'm still clueless. I need one of those doctors that look in your eye and tell you what's wrong with your body. One googled site suggests that I might need some citrus...guess I'll try that.

My Gift
The Strangers In Paradise Website: SIPStore
Sure enough - I got a gift! My mom IMed me this evening to say that my Dad was asking if I wanted my gift subscription to PC Photo renewed. I said no but I would appreciate a renewal of my SiP subscription instead. I was advised to bring the mailing info over!
--------
Remember in school when you used to try to outdo your friends by telling them how little sleep you got. (I.E. Girl 1: "Man - I studied until 1 in the morning!", Girl 2: "Oh yeah well I studied until 2 and then my stupid baby brother woke us all up puking at 3 and we had to stay up all night to make sure he didn't die.", Girl 3: "Yeah well at least you got an hour! I got no sleep AND I didn't get to study!") (Girl 3 was the winner.)
Taysha and I got in a similar one minute battle this evening over who was poorer than who. I had to cut the game short but I still think I'm the winner.

What the Bleep Do We Know!? - The Movie
What the Bleep Do We Know!? - The Movie
So after seeing this last night I'm feeling in a rather "AH HAH! I WAS RIGHT" kind of mood. (Thank "God" I had ten bucks in my wallet cuz the accounts got closed yesterday.)
Admittedly, the movie got a bit high school video boring in the beginning-middle but the points I liked were Wow! (And the dancing peptides were hilarious.)
Some things I got out of it:
1) I'm clearly addicted to the "obsession emotion" peptide.
2) Heaven is smaller than a mustard seed!!!! I GET IT!!! That's cool!
3) I'm getting a sharpie and writing some words on some water bottles!!
4) Miriam and I are a tad juvenile as we giggled at the some of the documentary segments (like the man who wouldn't open his teeth and said "past" with a nasal sound).
5) I wish I was smart enough to learn Quantum Physics. In fact... I AM THE POSSIBILITY OF QUANTUM PHYSICS UNDERSTOOD.
6) Again...I'm juvenile. Marlee Matlin saying "She'sh shush an ashhoe!" made me laugh.
7) Where the hell are those particles going??? (Erin in a parallel universe: "Why the hell do those particles keep appearing?")
8) I've created myself in such a way that people do tell me that I remind them of Winona Ryder when I look NOTHING LIKE HER! This must be some sort of physical reality altering so that people can see it. (This happened after the movie.)
I created my day today..... I created that my boss's would bring in donuts. And they came in without donuts... and then one of them left and came back with a platter of coffee cake and donuts and we all sang Happy Birthday to Mario .... but it wasn't Mario's birthday at all. Larry had gotten the date wrong. I'm very clear that time is happening ALL AT ONCE and the "past" aligned so that Larry misunderstood Mario in such a way that allowed donuts to manifest for me. ("Creating the day" is from the movie but this whole time all at once thing was actually something my cousin said to me once.)
Just think of the possibilites........

Yeah right!
Here's a few thoughts:
1) Ignore the "eh's" and whatnots... I finally got comments to show up and now they SHOW UP unlike other blogs I've seen where the comments take you to a separate page.
2) My New Zealand MySpace friend, Josiah, got himself a blog. He is now in the links list on the right.
3) Today's fixation is embedded video clips. I'm now playing Rob Dougan's "Furious Angels" video over at MySpace and posting random videos all around the place.
4) So today somebody requested coaching from me on "how to overcome an obsession". I laughed aloud. (Luckily she "wrote" this to me and did not hear my laughter.) I'm sending her to another coach on this one.
