TEN ON TUESDAY

Thanks, Chelsea!

1. What did you get for Christmas?
A big, new, beautiful TV! I also got Big Buck Hunter viscious animals edition, money, and gift cards. Big Buck Hunter freaks me out because I keep getting attacked by bears and wolves. I’m afraid to kill the wolves in case it’s Jacob. ;)

2. Have you taken down your Christmas decorations?
No, too lazy.

3. What did you do for New Years Eve?
I put hair flairz in. Nothing like having glittery hair!

4. Do you like accents?
Certain ones. Rhode Island accents annoy me, as does a lot of things about Rhode Island. I digress. I just don’t like how they say sauce, it’s not New England at all. LEARN HOW TO SAY “SAUCE” CORRECTLY! It’s sauce, not sauwwwce.

5. What kind of television do you have?
Sharp, I had a Dynex that worked for exactly 5 hours after purchase. After I went through all the trouble of going to the store, dragging it to/from my car alone, unpacking it, setting it up, and even PROGRAMMING MY CABLE REMOTE. It fucking crapped out. I was livid! Thankfully my BF offered to help me haul it back to the store to get a different TV.

6. Did you make any changes at the beginning of 2012?
No. I’d like to try to bring lunch to work more and continue to work out 5 days a week. I also need to learn the Napolean Dynamite dance as my 2012 goal, since I pretty much (pretty much) learned how to play Axel F for 2011. I play it pretty badly, but I need to practice more.

7. What’s the last book you read and do you recommend it?
I read Dear Me: A Letter to My Sixteen-Year-Old Self. It’s a quick read. It contains a bunch of letters written by celebrities to their 16-year-old self. I would definitely recommend it, just don’t get it for an e-reader unless you have an iPad or Kindle Fire. It’s hard to read on a normal Kindle, so I had to use my iPad.

8. Do you stay current on celebrity gossip?
Not really, they don’t care about me and vice-versa.

9. Do you know the words to Bohemian Rhapsody? Gangstas Paradise? Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?
ALL OF THE ABOVE!

10. What is your favorite educational television show?
Seasame Street!

WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS/A POLTERGEIST LIVES IN MY TV

My TV has picked a great time of year to be spazzy. It’s not even an old or cheap TV! The cost of it pisses me off even more. About a month ago, it started making this weird static sound in the background. The sound goes away after a few minutes, but sometimes it gets so bad it the picture gets all wiry and the static sound goes up about 50 decibels. Then it will magically shut off! I switched the cable box and switched to HDMI. The weird shutting off thing,  seems to happen more often now. I try to resist the urge to stand in front of the TV and cry out in my best Carol Anne Freeling, “they’re hereeee“.  

I guess it could also be the really old cable wire fed into my room from the basement, the cord runs through my closet and into my TV stand. The cable cord sits under approximately twelbenty billion pairs of boots, shoes, sneakers, and flats. It’s possible that the wire could be suffocating under the sheer weight of my excessive amounts of footwear?  

Know what I say to that? SUCK IT UP CABLE WIRE! If that’s not it, then who knows?! I say it’s a good excuse to get a nice new big TV for when I move. Hopefully I’ll get a new not effected by staticy poltergeists and old cable wires. 

Oh yes, I also have this on my Christmas list.
