Guess all that pregame soccer pays off!



I'm going to be the proud aunt of FIVE children!  Woohoo!  My little brother and his wife are pregnant with their first child!  They're due on July 7th!  


Guitar Hero: Aerosmith - Bundle for Sony PS3 on CLEARANCE!

Just $44.99 gets you the game and a wireless guitar - not bad considering the guitar alone sells for about 49.99, if not more?

Katy Perry - Hot N Cold

"You PMS like a bitch"






LIttle Jackie - The World Should Revolve Around Me

I've had a lot of failed relationships
I don't get involved 'cause I'm not equipped
I believe that the world should revolve around me



Sony BMG blows and won't allow embedding on this one, but here's the link

The Ting Tings - Shut Up And Let Me Go


And I know this song has been out for a super long but I don't listen to the radio much and so I never really paid too much attention to it until I happened to catch the video on VH1 the other day and I love the song (and the video is pretty f'ing great too).  Of course Universal sucks ass too because they won't let me embed either so here's the link:

Rhianna - Disturbia


Pink - Please Don't Leave Me



And this is my favorite off her new CD

Pink - I Don't Believe You




And here's something that didnt make it onto the new Pink CD but it's funny.  If nothing else you gotta at least check out the 2:00 mark (NSFW - language!):



See we should all be happy
50 cent said we could all lick his lollipop
He's gonna take us to the candy shop




Last night as I was trying to fall asleep the hugeness of what is going to happen today hit me.   As I stood in line this morning at the polling station I almost couldn't hold back the giddiness, knowing that for the first time in my life I was going to actually participate in a historically huge event! 

Today's Highlights:

1.5 boxes of tissues
3 boxes of atomic fireballs
hot wings
cough syrup
runny (fountain) nose
sore nose
coughing

Today's Summary:
can't breath
can't sleep
can't taste
poop on a stick
feel sorry for me

Yeah, I'm a cut and paster:

I figured while I was waiting for my photos (I took another large batch at Hunter Mountain on Monday) to load onto flickr, I would steal a meme from Sharon(who stole it from Carin). I decided to change it up a little bit, because that's the way I roll.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Colorize (RED) the books you love.
4) Cross out (tiltle) the books you have no intention of ever reading
4A) Asterisk (*) the books you were forced to read at school and hated

Sharon's Amendments:
5)Colorize in blue the books you've started to read and haven't finished.
6)Underline books you've read voluntarily (i.e. - not at school) and hated

Deb's Amendments:
7) Colorize in magenta the books that you think you read but you're not entirely certain you read and/or you can't remember if you liked them or not.
8) Colorized in purple the books that you have read over and over and over again

New in Labs: Stop sending mail you later regret
Monday, October 06, 2008 6:25 PM
Posted by Jon Perlow, Gmail engineer

Sometimes I send messages I shouldn't send. Like the time I told that girl I had a crush on her over text message. Or the time I sent that late night email to my ex-girlfriend that we should get back together. Gmail can't always prevent you from sending messages you might later regret, but today we're launching a new Labs feature I wrote called Mail Goggles which may help.

When you enable Mail Goggles, it will check that you're really sure you want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you're in the right state of mind?




By default, Mail Goggles is only active late night on the weekend as that is the time you're most likely to need it. Once enabled, you can adjust when it's active in the General settings.


Hopefully Mail Goggles will prevent many of you out there from sending messages you wish you hadn't. Like that late night memo -- I mean mission statement -- to the entire firm.

I was sitting here writing my to do list when I realized, damn, I always write big! And I got to wondering about what that means. So I found this site that does free handwriting analysis (http://www.handwritingwizard.com/) and I was surprised about how accurate it seemed to be:




Welcome D W, here is your handwriting analysis.

D uses judgment to make decisions. She is ruled by her head, not her heart. She is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see her as unemotional. She does have emotions but has no need to express them. She is withdrawn into herself and enjoys being alone.

The circumstances when D does express emotions include: extreme anger, extreme passion, and tremendous stress. If someone gets her mad enough to tell her off, she will not be sorry about it later. She puts a mark in her mind when someone angers her. She keeps track of these marks and when she hits that last mark she will let them know they have gone too far. She is ruled somewhat by self-interest. All her conclusions are made without outside emotional influence. She is very level-headed and will remain calm in an emergency situation. In a situation where other people might get hysterical, she has poise.

D will work more efficiently if given space and time to be alone. She would rather not be surrounded by people constantly. In a relationship, she will show her love by the things she does rather than by the things she says. Saying "I love you" is not a needed routine because she feels her mate should already know. The only exception to this is if she has logically concluded that it is best for her mate to hear her express her love verbally.

D is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to her, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of her sound judgment. She will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else. She will meet emergencies without getting hysterical and she will always ask "Is this best for me?"

People that write very large tend to be very social and friendly. It seems D has this type of writing. This indicates a need for people and a particular natural ability to socialize and be the life of the party. Now, if D also has specific fears (like fear of criticism or fear of trust) then she will deny she is the life of the party, because fear has overcome her natural inclination to be social. People with large handwriting tend to be effective at anything that requires interaction with lots of people. she is a people person.

D will be candid and direct when expressing her opinion. She will tell them what she thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want her opinion, don't ask for it!

D is a cumulative and procedural thinker. She likes to have all the facts before making a decision. She thinks or creates much like a brick mason, stacking fact upon fact. Her thought pattern or the conclusion will not be complete until the last fact is in place. Like that brick wall, D learns faster through visual demonstration than through quick verbal instructions. Once she has learned new material, and understood it, she won't forget.

D is a methodical thinker, therefore she is able to build things and come up with new ideas. In an argument, she often loses to rapid thinking people because she is thinking thirty minutes later about what she should have said. These people often are very booksmart, but can be out-gunned in a rapid fire verbal debate.

She may learn new ideas at a slower pace than other "less detailed" people, but once she gets it, she can handle repetition. Some people hate jobs with too much repetition, she can handle it better than most.

D's true self-image is unreasonably low. Someone once told D that she wasn't a great and beautiful person, and she believed them. D also has a fear that she might fail if she takes large risks. Therefore she resists setting her goals too high, risking failure. She doesn't have the internal confidence that frees her to take risks and chance failure. D is capable of accomplishing much more than she is presently achieving. All this relates to her self-esteem. D's self-concept is artificially low. D will stay in a bad situation much too long... why? Because she is afraid that if she makes a change, it might get worse. It is hard for D to plan too far into the future. She kind of takes things on a day to day basis. She may tell you her dreams but she is living in today, with a fear of making a change. No matter how loud she speaks, look at her actions. This is perhaps the biggest single barrier to happiness people not believing in and loving themselves. D is an example of someone living with a low self-image, because their innate self-confidence was broken.

D is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.

D has a tendency to put things off, D procrastinates. She sometimes pretends to be busy, so she will not have to do whatever she is putting off. She is often late to appointments or deadlines. This usually leads to a great amount of effort at the last minute to meet the deadline. Procrastination is an important factor as it relates to her output on the job or at school. Remember, D will put it off until later. Procrastination is easily overcome through a simple stroke adjustment in the handwriting.

D exaggerates about everything that has a physical nature. Although she may not intend to deceive or mislead, she blows things way out of proportion because that is the way she views them. She will be a good story teller. This exaggeration relates to all areas of her material world. D allows many people into her life because she is accepting and trusting. She is sometimes called gullible by her friends. That only really means that she trusts too many people. D has a vivid imagination.

Last month I DVRed Nelson Manella's 46664 90th Birthday Concert and just today I finally got around to watching it. First of all, lemme just say that I feel really bad for the guy, I mean he's a legend and who shows up to his big birthday bash? Leona Lewis, a notorious druggie (Amy Winehouse), the guy from Simple Minds, and Jada Pinkett Smith (could there be a meaner looking, more annoying woman on the planet?). And to top off the whole thing, Bono wrote him a birthday song which was the most irritating piece of shit my ears have ever been tortured with. He couldn't just sing a simple 'hope you have a great birthday, you're a great person, blah blah blah' song. No, he had to bitch about not being able to understand why such a great man doesn't have his own day. Umm...could it be because HE'S NOT DEAD?! What a fucking douche bag. It's bad enough to have to listen to him bitch but he had to sing his assy thoughts. AND he wasn't even there, the assjack appeared via satellite - what the crap? It's Mandella's 90th birthday and that self-important preaching fucker couldn't get his fat ass on an airplane and spew his crap in person?

Debramarie out.

OK, so that was only a sorta kinda Madonna lyric quote, but whatever.

I was just checking out Carin's blog and she had a butt ton of new entries. I know I should blog/journal more often but I can't ever think of anything interesting to write about. I swear, I have the most boring life ever. But I'll see what I can come up with, because it is time. Past time :)

Chris and I went for a walk tonight. I knew that if the boys (cats, sorry) were outside at least one of them would follow us. And sure enough, Lucky followed about two and a half steps behind the whole way. Every once in awhile he'd get impatient or brave or curious or something and he'd bolt past us as if to say come on guys let's go! I kept imagining what anyone who just happened to look out the window and saw us must have thought - I mean, yeah people walk dogs all the time but a cat?

Funny, that was the first thing I thought to write about but the next immediate thought was that I've been listening to the new gym class CD non-stop for about a week now but no one wants to hear more about that. So the next was, those damn plates that I bought at Target, which I love, are on sale for 10 bucks less than what I paid! Those motherfathers! That's 20 bucks between the two sets, dammit beyatch! How sad is it that I wanted to bitch about that? I'm a moron. Or a retart.

I'm loving living here in Rochester. My life is so incredibly different, I couldn't even begin to tell you just how different. But I'm loving it (hold the fries). It's nice to have human contact. I have even gotten to know my neighbors a bit. I just wish my family would get their butts out here to visit before I f' the place all up.

Somehow my house has become the ice cream house. It seems everytime anyone comes to visit they end up eating ice cream - it's not that I'm complaining or anything, in fact I went out and bought a whole bunch more cause we were running out. It must have somethign to do with the peanut butter sauce - everyone loves peanut butter!

I've been working hard on getting my closet set up the way that I want it. I still have seven buttloads of laundry to do, turns out storing clothing in plastic tubs is convenient, easy and for the most part a great idea, only problem is, if you actually close the containers the close end up smelling like plastic when they come out. So in addition to the 7 metric tons of dirty clothes I packed I have another 10 tons of clean clothes that smell like plastic ass that need to be washed. Problem is, my closet is getting damn full and I still have so much more to go. I'm thinking I'll be making a run to Salvo sometime soon :)

I watched Judge Judy today and they had a couple idiots from Buffalo on. A druggie woman was suing a tattoo artist for shooting her in the forehead with a paintball. The dumbest part of the whole situation? He paid her ten dollars to let him shoot her in the head. She didn't die, just got injured - even natural selection has its flaws.

Speaking of TV, 85% of my saved crap on my DVR is Still Standing episodes. I freakin' love that show - I swear it is the greatest sit com ever made. And since it's on twice a night, five nights a week, and we're DVRing all episodes, we've got a lot of shiz to watch. So every night after dinner Chris and I sit down and try to catch up. Somehow we just can't seem to catch up - probably because he almost always falls asleep halfway through, lol.

You can check out the new GCH album at mtv:

Here's a sample, "Kissin' Ears"




And "Catch Me If You Can"



One of my favorites is "Like Father, Like Son" but no one has it up on youtube yet :(

I figured playing with iTunes is so much fun I'd make up some random questions to ask it - that's always fun, right? So here goes:

What would the world be like if everyone were just like me?
Ooh La - The Kooks

What's the worst song on this iPod?
Patorale - Ray Lynch

What should I be when I grow up?
Stan - Eminem <---- wow, that hurts!

What song should I never, under any circumstances, admit that I like?
The Joker - Steve Miller

What's my horoscope for tomorrow (Friday)?
I Don't Want Your Love - Duran Duran

What should I name my first born child?
Song for Noah - Gym Class Heroes (guess I should be glad I don't have Bitch on iTunes)


I was also inspired by Sharon's latest post of music suggestions so I decided I'd do the random thing 'til I came up with 10 songs that I particularly like that are somewhat off the beaten track:

She Has A Girlfriend Now - Reel Big Fish
Make Them Hear You - Black Eyed Peas
Both Hands - Ani DiFranco
Crazy In Love - Snow Patrol
She's Gone - Hall & Oates
Someday I Suppose - Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Save My Life = Pink
Life Of The Party - Prince
Lullaby - Jack Johnson
Hang Me Up to Dry - Cold War Kids


Cameltoe - terrible terrible song

I'm testing this to see if I can link to a particular movie

I got this from snagfilms.com - thought it was a cool site and couldn't resist posting the Duke history one for Carin :)

So my license expired last Sunday and I had to find a good DMV to go to. Turns out the one in Auburn is awesome - about 7-9 people in line ahead of me when I got there and I only waited maybe 5 minutes. AND the lady that helped me was super nice and I didn't have to leave the line, fill out more forms, and come back. AND even better, I got a spot right in front of the building! AND a quarter in the meter got me half an hour! So anyway, before leaving the house I had to google the location and somehow I ended up here:



Quarrel unraveled into arrest for Barenaked Ladies singer
by Robert A. Baker
Thursday July 17, 2008, 9:47 AM
Jim Commentucci/The Post-Standard, 2001Steven Page of the band Barenaked Ladies performs at the Onondaga County War Memorial in November 2001. The Toronto-based band has performed several shows in Central New York over the years.

Fayetteville, NY -- The cocaine bust of Barenaked Ladies singer and guitarist Steven Page began with a quarrel with his girlfriend in a Fayetteville bar, according to court documents.

The papers, filed in Fayetteville Village Court, say that spat led to another woman trying to physically restrain Page from driving home to Toronto. Later, Page and the woman snorted drugs while police were virtually outside their door, the documents state.

The night ended with Page in police custody.

Page, 38, of Toronto, had more than a quarter ounce of cocaine, police said. He was charged Friday morning with criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony.

Page's lawyer, Mark Mahoney, of Buffalo, declined comment this afternoon. The band's Web site said "the validity of the charges against Steven will be strongly contested." Page could not be reached for comment.

Thursday night began at Mulligan's in Fayetteville, according to Stephanie Ford, 25, of 311 E. Genesee St. She shared Apartment 1 with Page's girlfriend, Christine Benedicto, 27. The women couldn't be reached for comment.

Ford's statement to police provides the following account:

The two women walked to the bar about 10 p.m. About 11 p.m., Page showed up.

"After about 30 minutes, Steven and Christine got into a huge fight because Christine was flirting with another guy. Steven left the bar and I followed him back to the apartment," Ford told police.
Dennis Nett/The Post-StandardExterior of 311 E. Genesee St. in Fayetteville where Steven Page was arrested in the first-floor apartment on a drug charge Friday.

Page said that he was going back to Canada, but Ford was concerned because Page had been drinking. Back at the apartment, Page lay down on the grass and Ford sat on him so he couldn't drive away.

"While we were on the front lawn, Christine showed up and started yelling at me not to take Steven's side. I'm not sure how it happened but Christine ended up with Steven's keys and drove away in his car leaving hers in the middle of the driveway," Ford said.

Page and Ford went inside the home. Eventually, Ford found Page at the kitchen table with a bottle that said "calcium" and contained capsules with white powder, but the rest of the label was in French.

"There was a pile of white powdery substance on the table, near one of the capsules," Ford said. "There was a Canadian bill on the table which Steven rolled up and we used it to snort the white powder.

"We never discussed what the white powder was but I thought it was cocaine," she said.

The car in the driveway at 2:04 a.m. Friday was what brought police attention to 311 E. Genesee St., said Capt. Bill Bleyle of the Manlius Police Department. The car was across the sidewalk, its door was open and no one was around, he said.

As they were investigating the car, the officers observed suspicious behavior in the kitchen, Bleyle said. He declined to specify other than saying the officers "happened upon a plain-view discovery of illegal activity."

The officers knocked on the door of the apartment and inquired about the car across the sidewalk, "at which time Stephanie stated, 'Yeah, come on in,'¤" court records state.

Inside, police found a kitchen table with a plastic bottle labeled calcium, white powder in capsules and white powder on the table, court records state.

Police quizzed Page on the powder.

"Ofc. Stanton asked Steven if he was sure that the powder he was snorting was calcium because it was testing positive for cocaine at which time Steven responded, 'Yeah, it's cocaine,'¤" court documents state.

The bottle contained 10 capsules. There was another capsule on the table and two capsules in Page's pants pocket, records state. The total weight of the cocaine was 0.314 ounces, records state.

Ford was charged with felony criminal possession of a controlled substance and with unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation.

Benedicto is facing a misdemeanor charge of criminal possession of a controlled substance. She also is charged with unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation.

Page presented Canadian identification and officers offered to contact the Canadian consulate on his behalf, Bleyle said. Page declined.

Manlius police did not know whom they had arrested until they were told by one of the women, Bleyle said.

"At that point, it was a normal drug arrest," Bleyle said.

The officers asked if he was in a band, Bleyle said, "and he said, yes, I play guitar and I'm a singer."

The level of Page's fame wasn't apparent "until the media contacted us," Bleyle said.

"We've had a huge number of calls on him. It's been continuous. We're getting contacted internationally," Bleyle said.

"It's just been a plethora, numerous news organizations from the U.S. and Canada," he said.
