I don't know where to begin...

That’s a lie.. I do. How the hell did Willa Ford get booted from Dancing with the Stars? I watched the actual performance show the other night and the girl is incredible! I mean, besides the obvious chemistry, she can dance! I’m really peeved by her ousting. I’ve expressed my disdain for the “fan voting” all this time and I have to agree with myself! I mean, Sarah Evans not in the bottom two? I get it, those country fans love you. Probably why Carrie Underwood won Idol last year (don’t get me wrong, I love her, but she proves my point). Anyway, as much as Jerry Springer sucks, I don’t mind having him around because at least he’s comic relief. Sarah is like a marionette and marionettes creep me out, much like Mr. Rogers and Mummenschanz. I’m 30 and still have nightmares about them…. and the Letter People.. but again, that’s my issue. I have yet to start having nightmares about Sarah Evans, but if she keeps trying to shimmy her way into my heart I’m afraid I’ll have to spike my Coke Zero with Ambien and pray I don’t sleep walk to the fridge.

Cory Lidle, huh? Who saw that coming? I blame the Yankees. I mean, if they played the way they are capable of doing they would still be in the playoffs and Cory wouldn’t have decided to try to traverse the craziest air space in the United States. Seriously, who’s dunderheaded idea was that? Regardless, it’s an awful tragedy not only for the Yankees, but for baseball in general and my thoughts go out to all those involved. At least they still have Joe Torre. I mean, two tragedies in one week is really more than those fans can handle. I’m still confused on what the deal is with that because I heard he got a pilot’s license in ’03, but the guy with him was a flight instructor (at least that’s the rumor I heard). Guess it’ll be a matter of time before the whole story comes out, black box and all.

Remember our old friends, man and dog? Apparently there have been quite a few sightings of man, but not dog. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen man without dog, so I’m very worried about dog. He was (is) so cute and I’d hate to think something happened to him. I’ll keep you posted on their status.

For those of you who read my “movie music moments” post last week, I thought you might find this interesting. I think one of my top five made it on and I’ll take pride in that. It’s actually a pretty cool list; fun to peruse and remember those moments yourself. I’m not sure I agree with some but I think if a song was written specifically for that movie, it wasn’t eligible. I don’t want anyone freaking out cause “My Heart Will Go On” didn’t crack the top 10. God, I loathe Titanic.. and Leonardo DiCaprio. Thank god Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg are in The Departed or I don’t know if I’d be able to bring myself to see it. I mean, Nicholson and DiCaprio? Not quite the threesome I was hoping for!

In conclusion, this is the randomness that happened to me yesterday: Lacey (my co-worker and friend) and I were outside of our building because she needed a smoke break and I’m taking advantage of that. I don’t see why I get penalized by not getting a break just because I care about my health by not smoking. I could go on for days, but anyway… So, this guy walks out of the parking garage and stares at us. He then stops dead in his tracks, continues to stare, then walks away. Very weird. I think my reaction was to look at Lacey and say “what the fuck?” I had left my cell phone in my car (on) so I went into the garage after lunch to get it and realized I had a voicemail. This is the voicemail verbatim: “Hey, you or your twin sister wouldn’t be standing in downtown Albany right now, would ya?” Do I recognize the phone number? NO… the voice? NO, but it sounds a lot like J.’s so I call him first. He says no, it’s not him (which I was pretty happy about cause it’d be really sketchy if he couldn’t tell the difference between his girlfriend and her twin sister) and then told me to call the number. I hate doing that. It irks me when I accidentally misdial and people call me back to see what I wanted. If I wanted something from you, I would have left a god damn message. I texted to the number, but got nothing. About 15 minutes later my curiosity got the best of me and I dialed. The phone rang about four times and I was anticipating voice mail so I could just figure out who it was and be on my way, but mystery guy answered. I was “that girl” and said “who’s this?” He responded with “who’s this?” I realized I was being kinda sketchy so I said “Kara” and he said “It’s Jeremy.” Jeremy is a guy I dated a bit in the last year or so that I met on Match.com. It never really went anywhere but we talk occasionally. I doubt I’ve talked to him in three months or so. Come to find out, he’s crazy staring guy from the parking garage and I didn’t even recognize him. Apparently he got a job two months ago on N. Pearl and parks in my parking garage every day. Our schedules are completely different so our paths have never crossed, but he had a doctor’s appointment yesterday and that is when he saw me enjoying (somewhat) fresh air outside my building. I mean, come on. How f’n weird and random is that? I’m assuming I didn’t recognize him cause I never expected to see him there, but it’s just crazy. Funny thing is, I saw a guy I went to college with (we played rugby together) in my parking garage just a few weeks ago. I think I’m going to start parking on the street.
