Well, I've started using Twitter.

Okay, it was almost 2 months ago, I think, but whatever.

MADE of Honor

So, I've been watching SVU from the beginning on Netflix Instant. After finishing seasons 1-7, I was at a loss this week of what to watch. Today I decided to watch some movies on Instant. Jimmy made a joke about the movie Made of Honor yesterday so when I noticed it was available on Instant it seemed fitting. The other two movies I'm thinking of watching today are Misery and Diner. What a group, right? (Haha, Cragen just said "maybe you should have tried Facebook" in the SVU from this week. Hilar.) Anyway, I live-journaled while watching this movie without the intention of posting it but now I am posting it. Does that count as live-blogging? Prolly not.

-college party from '98...same actors but they did something weird so they look younger. It looks fake and their faces seem to move independently from their heads.

-he's dressed as Bill Clinton and trying to find the Monica he was going to meet up with. Topical.

-the roommate of "Monica" is the girl in this...and they hate each other! Shocker!

-trying to be When Harry Met Sally = no

-10 years later and they're bffs. Obvs.

-already been 2 separate nerdy/awkward/socially inept people ridiculed

-uh oh, she's going to Scotland for 6 weeks. But they're bffs!

-Patrick Dempsey is dating vapid, beautiful women and trying to do the same things he does with the bff. I don't think THAT'S going to work out.

-Okay, they keep being unable to get each other on the phone while she's in Scotland. How about email? This is 2008, guys!

-28 minutes in and he already realized he actually does love her.

-how come all guys in movies play some sort of sport with their male friends? Is this a thing? Do guys really play basketball whenever they hang out?

-OH NO! She's back and she's with a Scottish guy! But now P.D. knows he loves her! Also, Scottish guy is a new doc on Grey's Anatomy. Topical.

-Ok, but seriously, they're getting married because he "rescued" her from a rainstorm and cows? Why?

-No, really, WHY ARE THEY GETTING MARRIED?! This is not romantic...this is weird!

-haha a BOY being maid of honor?? Hilarious! I'm sure everyone will find this normal.

-Oh, Busy Phillips, I love you. (she is Hannah (the girl)'s cousin and she "dated" P.D. That did not go over well.

-I genuinely laughed at something. Thank you, Busy.

-"So are you more proud of Scotch tape or McDonald's?"

-shower scene after Scotty Guy played basketball with P.D.'s buddies. They're all naked and they are staring at Scotty Guy's crotch. I think they're impressed/jealous.

-of course Soctty Guy is a Duke who makes Whiskey.

-realllly realizing how little I know about "wedding planning"

-Elizabeth Hasselbeck cameo in a "Maid of Honor" instructional video.

-P.D. juggled plates...

-Uh oh, shopping for lingerie with just P.D. and Hannah! But he LOVES her! OMGGGGG he must feel SOOO weird.

-okay, so she's leaving for Scotland for the wedding tomorrow and she never mentioned to P.D. that she's gonna move to Scotland?

-P.D. at Bethesda Fountain (of course), sees two dogs, one is a Scottie. Liked this joke until he asked the woman what kind of dog it was and he said "Ugh, Scottie. Of Course."

-Scotland is pretty!

-P.D. told a dog "I love you" but he NEVER says that! We already established that!

-Oh, also, back in 1994, we learned P.D. invented the cardboard coffee cup things. I guess he's rich from that?

-How is this still going to take 33 minutes?

-Oh, ha ha, silly Scottish people with their weird traditions the Americans don't get.

-P.D. wearing a mini-kilt because Busy got it for him to make him look silly. Soooo funny.

-Up the mini-kilt shot. Ouch.

-Oh, and earlier Busy tricked P.D. into hiring a sex toy saleswoman for the bridal shower. It resulted in grandma wearing "thunder beads" as a necklace. ...

-I want to go to Scotland. But only if I'm marrying a Duke.

-Big dinner, oh she can't understand HIS grandmother...Scottish accents and names are so silly. She's just laughing at the grandma.

-OH NO! This Scottish Duke HUNTS?? But we learned Hannah was against that when she yelled at a man selling an alligator purse. Excuse me, BABY alligator purse.

-HE DOESN'T SHARE FOOD OFF THE PLATE EITHER! But she loves doing that with P.D.! This marriage is already falling apart.

-And he plays BAGPIPES? Hannah is NOT amused.

-Grandmda is still wearing "thunder beads." Poor lady.

-more Scottish traditions. This is a bachelorette party-like one. At least "Henrietta" by The Frattellis is playing.

-Ah! P.D. kissed her as part of this tradition but then kissed her for REAL! And her mom saw...

-Ugh, why is this still going on? The wedding should be called off already!

-Does trying to steal the bride before the wedding REALLY count as something someone who was MADE of honor would do?

-oy, more conflict...Busy hitting on him, Hannah seeing...he doesn't want it, he quits Maid of Honor and is leaving.

-Is this gonna be a bride-running-thru-airport thing?

-The dog he said I love you to is back!

-ok, he's heading back to the wedding but the ferry over there left and it takes an hour and a half by car.

-how come it seems it only takes 5 minutes by stolen horse?

-flung from horse into the church as the "forever hold your peace" line happens. Classic.

-this is so awkward. everyone is watching her kiss someone else at her wedding to Scotty Guy.

-Scotty Guy punched P.D. ...makes sense

-Now Hannah and P.D. are getting married. I didn't get enough Busy Phillips.

-Ahh, Hannah is from an episode of SVU I watched recently. And now we've come full circle.

Classic.

Twin Peaks Crafting

Now Anna and I run TWO Etsy shops! The new one is entirely Twin Peaks-related crafts. Pretty fun!

Booyah 2008, it's 2009town.

I'm not sure what that title means either. I think I was trying to give the impression that I am excited about 2009 and also try to make 2009 into "Chinatown" for some reason.

I still don't have a job. Surprise surprise. It's just becoming a funny joke now.

Anyone: Hey, have any job prospects yet?
Me: Erin? Have a job? In the winter? Hahahahahahaha
Anyone: Um, okay...anything else going on?
Me: hahahahahahahahahahahahah

And it goes on like this.

Alright, maybe not a FUNNY joke. But a joke nonetheless.

I spent a good deal of time in Schenec which was really good actually. I did some reading, watched some TV, enjoyed some fires in the fireplace, hung out with my family. It was an all around good time. I've decided to give an example of what I read/watched over the holiday.

Books:
The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster
Watchmen
The Tales of Beetle the Bard by J.K. Rowling

TV:
Arrested Development Seasons 1-3 (seriously, I watched the entire series over break)
The Simpsons Season 11
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (The first 13 episodes of Season 2)

Movies:
In Bruges
3:10 to Yuma
Son of Rambow

Movies in the theater:
Four Christmases
Synecdoche, NY

Wow, what an eventful time in Schenectady, right? Sounds good to me.

I got a printer and a sewing machine for Christmas which I love dearly. I also have some knitting books I've been playing with and even made a real pair of mittens (not fingerless!) and one GLOVE. Whoa buddy. This knitting book does not require the use of double-pointed needles for mittens which means I can make them.

And make them, I shall!

Let it snow!

It snowed a bit today. Callie quite enjoyed it. She ran to the window just to jump and try to catch snowflakes and dart her eyes back and forth.

I took some pictures. Of the snow. Of Callie. Of Callie and me. Conor had posted on Facebook something referring to the snowflakes as "Bedford Falls style" which I enjoyed. And agreed with.

Also, I decided all at once to jump into my Yelp account and wrote 17 reviews today. Pretty productive.

I'm still here!

I was home in Schenectady last week for Thanksgiving and heard from many sources that I apparently talk about a certain TV show too much. Psh. That's what I say to that. Buuut since I don't have many readers I will refrain from talking about it. Instead, I will share a pair of mittens I made today after I ran out of pink yarn and couldn't finish a pair of Watermelon-Flavored mittens.

Ta da!Yes, one mitten is red, orange, yellow and one is green, blue, purple. And the Rainbow-Flavored Mittens are born.

I think that's all you need for one day: a new pair of mittens completed.

Unemployment Erin

Remember back in 07-early 08 when I was unemployed and I never wrote in this even tho that was my plan? Well, booyah 2007 Unemployment Erin! 2008 Unemployment Erin is OWNING you. I have now been unemployed for one full day and I guess am....45 minutes shy of completing day 2. Let's take a look at what I've done, shall we?

1. Got a free haircut at a snazzy salon which forced by into walking into Henri Bendel. Oh boy. Talk about places I don't fit in...the hair cut is good tho...sort of shaggy...sort of Rachel-esque circa 1995 but who's complaining?

2. Mailed out watermelon mittens for Etsy..this time to Oklahoma.

3. Posted a new item to Etsy.

4. Made another new pair of earrings.

5. Finished Season 2 of Brothers & Sisters and started the current season.

6. Watched You've Got Mail

7. Became addicted to TLC (a channel I didn't know I got!)

8. Posted another new item to Etsy and took new pictures for old items.

9. Made a necklace and (you guessed it) posted it to Etsy!

10. Stayed on the couch most of the time because I have a stupid cold. Damn you, finishing work! I always get sick when I finish something.

So there you have it. 2008 UE is winning the game! You go, 08UE! Now back to the scarves for Jimmy and me that I have yet to finish and Season 3 of Brothers & Sisters. Oh, and picking up that pile of tissues on the coffee table before Jimmy comes home...oops.

I am Sonic the Hedgehog.

Jimmy and I had high hopes for Halloween this year. I was going to be Sonic and he was going to be Dr. Robotnic. We even spent the better part of Pumpkin Day weekend sewing felt into various shapes and putting our costumes together. It was a good time. Unfortunately a big thing for his work came up right before Halloween so he ended up being in Austin as Dr. Robotnic while I was in NY as Sonic without a nemesis. Luckily, through the wonders of technology Jimmy has created a picture that has kept me laughing for minutes.



I love it. Now it's like we were there together....in a video game. Whoo.

And now he has made slight changes to it that make it better. My favorite being my face in the box where it says how many lives you have. Amazing.
