up and at 'em...

but not really. sigh. my mind was busy last night... wondering about the inconsistencies of 'dead like me'. how come the grim reapers don't remain the way they died, ie squashed flat? how do they just change to someone completely different? how do they get a social security number and medical insurance and a bank account and stuff? if they're ghosts, how come they are visible and have to pay in restaurants? i don't get it, how can they be dead bodies but touch their dead bodies AND be a whole new person? i should stick with criminal minds at bedtime, it yields a much more restful night's sleep.

i spent a few sleepless minutes playing with my iphone at 4am. which reminds me, i need to find out if there is a way to use it sideways without it turning sideways too, therefore making me turn my head, at which point i move it slightly and it turns sideways too - it's mocking me, i am quite sure of it. anyway i hate that speaker next to the bed that plays soothing rain music. when i turn on my phone as silently as i can, the speakers start communicating with each other and the rain speaker starts to screech blisteringly loud - in the dead of night, thus giving away my guilty secret of amazon shopping under the covers at 4am. speakers are such little assholes. Aaron says i should wrap my phone in aluminum foil at bedtime. or put it on airplane mode. as if life isn't complicated enough :|

we are going to the mountaintop cabin in one week. all this 'dead like me' business has made me concerned about what we will do if the woman who owns the cabin had died since we rented it? what if we get there and it's occupied by someone dead, who is staying there because they were the one who took her soul? what then?? that show!! i am not exactly addicted but it certainly raises many questions and wonders in my head :|

in other news last night i watched cash cab with my iphone and Sam. we asked voice google all the questions and it got every single one correct :) questions about crampons, the lorax, flemish cities, decathalon events, flintstones characters, gulag, existentialism - i couldn't believe my eyes! we could have won like $10,000 if we'd been in the cash cab last night instead of bed eating ginger cat cookies! i think everyone in New York should always ask to go the furthest point of Manhattan whenever they get in a cab, just in case it's the cash cab, so they can get as much money as possible. and always have an iphone with them :)

off to start another wonderful day in the paradise that is orange county! it's soooooo cold here i am actually contemplating buying hideous furry boots :| it's that bad
