Watching Mr. & Mrs. Smith right now...
Unless your name is Angelina Jolie, you're too ugly to be on this earth. If you're lucky however, she might adopt you.

Quickie blog
Holy crap it's unreal how much I'm in love with Ryan Reynolds
Sigh, why Alanis? I'm from Ottawa! I had a friend that went to her highschool! I even have her first CASSETTE autographed. Isn't that good enough?!
On another note, you f*ckers called "men" take note, this is how you compliment a chick:
...but thinking back I can't remember a time where you've had bad skin, you've always been radiant... Or I just didn't take notice. :)
Note the use of the word "radiant". A+ goes to any guy who can use that in a compliment.
Quick movie review: V for Vendetta
I admit, I really just wanted to see this movie 'cause Natalie Portman shaved her head for it, and I support any woman who effs up her looks in the name of art. It's a pretty good movie, very dark, the only complaint I had was that the dude with the mask wears it the ENTIRE movie and not seeing someone's lips move when there's dialogue is kind of annoying.
I give it a 4 out of 5 stars.
Letter to the editor:
So when you take them... n' you drink will it f' you up? That's a positive!!
Actually alcohol makes no diff, i suppose if i take them within an hour of taking the pill then it'll act like food and negate the effects of the medication, that's it. So it's not like say taking vicodin and drinking, sadly!
that being said, even if it DID eff me up, I don't think i drink enough to make a diff.
If you're a beer or wine drinker, you can drink that stuff at home no problem...I don't drink either, so it's not like when I get home i'm going to start doing shots by myself while I watch tv or something....

Letter to the Editor
I wouldn't complain too much Sabina, you've got an Aeron chair, I swear people drool over mine at work. And I've had a few friends try and talk me out of my Aeron chair in my home office.
You can HAVE my effing Aeon chair. It's actually jacked up my back. They have different sizes....well clearly i've got the "man size" chair, i feel like a little kid. The lumbar thing is all jacked up, and no setting doesn't cause extreme pain. I'd rather have my $19.99 chair that I've got at home here at work. All of the chicks in my department complain about them...maybe women's backs are differento r something.
All I know is that I've actually NEEDED massages and pressure point stuff done to me since I've sat in that chair for over 2 years...
Speaking of complaining...
Adam Corolla's morning show has a section where people call in and see if they can stump Adam on his complaining. Like someone called in and said: "galvanized tubing" and for a minute Adam went on a random complaint rant about galvanized tubing...
I swear, i could SOOO have a complaint-off with Adam Corolla....there isn't anything I won't complain about!
Except maybe Tetracycline...my beautiful, beautiful tetracycline that has cleared up my jacked up skin (which I think I blame on my husband...all it takes is ONE kiss from a guy who didn't shave and my skin just gets effed to hell).
That's a whole OTHER rant and gripe...guys not shaving...wtf. And that's NOT the same as when we dont' shave our legs...'cause unless you break out on your hands when you touch my unshaved legs, you can suck it...it actually causes physical PAIN to kiss a dude who hasn't shaved, let alone the breakout factor. I don't think any guy has ever had to take effing medication because his girlfriend didn't shave her legs, and here I am effing up my entire bloodstream just because kissing a man who's too lazy to shave sometimes makes my skin look like the Krusty Burger kid from the Simpson's....

Product Review: tetracycline
Sabina's review of her prescription: Tetracycline
Overview
So here's the deal.
My skin's been really jacked up the past few months. I mean, to the point of SCARRING. It's really upsetting. I'm going to be 29 for God's sakes, if I'm old enough to pay property taxes I should be old enough to not be dealing with this crap. The saving grace was when I got a bladder infection...the medication for that cleared up my skin like crazy (yay urinary tract infections!)
That being said, woman cannot survive on bladder infections alone for great skin.
So I went to the dermatologist finally, and he told me basically my two options for the rest of my life were to take something orally or topically (which sounds really perverse now that I'm typing that...). Since I'm all for blasting the hell out of my skin via every cell, I opted for the pills.
Yeah you heard me. REST OF MY LIFE. He said his wife has been taking it for 15 years and the instant she stops, she breaks out. Ahh well, the price you pay for beauty.
The Cons
The Cons pretty much lie in the strict rules surrounding it...
let's see:
1. Can't eat for 2 hours before...
2. Cant' eat for 1 hour after
3. Can't lie down for 30 minutes after taking it
4. Can't have anything with calcium/dairy/vit. supplements 2 hours before and after
5. Gotta take it 2x a day
Now all of the above wouldn't be so bad if it didn't make me ridiculously nauseous....can't lie down to feel better...can't ease the queasy stomach with food...these pills are crazy potent and it's taken serious willpower to not stop my car on the way to work, with my empty stomach, to not hurl up a lung.
The Pros
So after bitching about the nausea and all that, you'd think it wouldn't be worth it right?
Oh HELL no. This stuff is killing my intestinal track but DAMN my skin looks a trillion times better! I still get a few breakouts, but seriously I'm sooooo happy with my skin, you have no idea. Now i'm just applying scar cream like a mofo all over the old areas and hopefully I'll be good to go.
Survey Says:
Two very enthusiastic thumbs up. Fine holiday faire!
Side note: Not that any dude who would be bored enough to read this would want to know this TMI, but the ONE problem with medications like tetracycline, cipro, etc...they kill the good AND bad bacteria...which means that chicks are way more prone to yeast infections...ummm..yeah. That sucks. But did I mention that my skin looks SO MUCH BETTER?! Highly recommended if your skin is jacked up.

Yeah...I know...
Yeah, I know. Haven't written much lately. Haven't been inspired.
A few random thoughts (as per...the title of this blog):
1. I'm starting to think that blogs are one notch down from MySpace...this whole "me me me" crap. Although to my defense, the only reason I've got a blog is 'cause people told me that I needed one, and I couldn't give a crap if people read it or not...I think I need a mental outlet for the ((bleep)) that goes through my mind.
2. Apparently blogs have become the new virtual forum to throw tomatoes at whoever's on stage...
3. America's Next Top Model is so brilliant, it's mind blowing. I've watched it from day 1 and it never gets old. The beauty of it (ha bad pun) is that it's all relative....
Relative to Dateline NBC, it's like mashed potatoes.
Relative to the Flavor of Love, it's rocket science.
I think it's safe to say that everyone loves Nnenna....
4. Recently I've been starting to form a love/hate relationship with Stash (the kitten that grew into a dairy cow of a cat)...but he's officially proven that he can earn his keep: he's brilliant at catching flying bugs. Which is great, since I'm pretty bug-a-phobic.
5. On a daily basis, I drive the ((bleep)) out of my coworkers by singing the Oscar Meyer weiner song, which is bizarre since I've never had an Oscar Meyer anything in my whole life.

Yeah...men frickin' SUCK
Male drivers waste more time
Yeahhhh boyyy! Sometimes, I just think men are effing useless. ALL of them.
Speaking of useless, American Idol is on right now...every now and then, I try to give it a chance...and then I hear that crappy ass singing...and I'm reminded WHY these people don't already have recording contracts. And I can't figure out who's more annoying...Ryan or Paula or Randy...Simon's the only one who looks just as unethused as I feel when I watch that show.

Don't have a blog man
Simpsons Intro, re-done
Pure brilliance!!
Gasp whatever will I watch on Mondays without Dr. 90210?!
Since I had nothing to do all weekend but park my ass in front of the tv, I ended up watching a TON of Food Network (plus...Armeggedon for the trillionth time...and Dogma, which I realized, i had never seen the end of)...
They had this one show that showed the "behind the scenes" of Food Network. It was actually super interesting.
Like obviously we all know that a given cooking show has a ton of people prepping the foods and all that, but the space used for the Food Network is astronimical. It seems like the chefs barely do anything.
That being said, take 30 Minute Meals...a few things to note:
1. Rachel Ray said she always gets asked if that's her house, and it's not (because the seasons never change outside)...which is funny, because I asked that when I saw her.
2. The oven is retro, but the fridge is brand new...they just created a custom retro-looking shell for it
3. She has a HUGE room of "pretty" servingware
4. Since they can't show labels, they make their own. That's key, 'cause it always bugged me that they had those bizarre labels on her products...turns out, one dude makes fake labels but they're super funny the hidden messages he's got on them...
5. There's a chick who cleans up at the "break"...yeah garbage bowl my ass, no wonder it looks clean...
6. What's fascinating is the choreography...i really didn't realize how much of it had to be orchestrated. Like "step here, step here, go here, get this from the fridge, come back here"...that blew me away, 'cause she films 4 episodes/day so that's alot to remember.
I used to wonder with Everyday Italian what the deal was with Giada's kitchen...it's too "homely" to be a set but it changes each season. Well turns out, i was kinda right...for 2 months straight they rent and supe up homes in Hollywood...the garage gets converted to a prep area...
The other thing I used to wonder was wtf was up with the filming, like there's always this haze...turns out, they use movie film instead of video film, which uses less frames per second.
And lastly...yes, those are her friends they show on TV.
What they didn't answer: I'm pretty sure Giada's had a boob job. I take her boobs seriously. In early seasons she was pretty flat...i mean, come ON...she's like 90lbs with boobage on her tiny frame...
So now you know!

Just guess...
Go ahead...
try it...
Guess who's car is once again at the shop....
Oh oh I know! I know! MINE!!!
So I had my car for all of a few brief moments on Sunday...and that was it. Not having a car effing BLOWS!!!

There and Back
Thanks to Nicole, I forced myself to watch the There & Back marathon (uh since I had no car and didn't feel compelled to do anything other than sit on the couch and eat crap all day...my "To Dos" for this weekend all required a CAR!!)
I always wondered what the deal was with that show but I never clued in as to who Ashley was....hell yeah, we're talkin' Ashley from O-Town! I loved Making The Band season 1!!! And I dug Ashley...so naturally I had to watch the marathon (well it was either that...or...some Cheech and Chong movie on Comedy Central. Seriously, there's NOTHING to do when you have no car!)....
In the episode where Ashley did some construction work (how bad does that suck, finding out that you're building the living room for a chick who used to listen to O-town...and that's not intentional), i was like "wow, now THAT'S a man who provides for his family"....and then I thought, "Can I do construction so that I can get myself a new frickin' car?!?!?!"...
Here's the thing. I don't "do" the huge long loans, I paid my car off in one year and if I get another car sometime soon, that would be my plan as well.
I'm telling you...if I had a half-decent body I'd spend a few amateur nights down at the strip club and work my way to getting a car paid in cash...damn you mother nature for not endowing me with nothing more than cellulite and a gut!
Okay well this whole post was useless, but the entire day was useless...other than fortunately the car costs are under $1000, which is always a refreshing change for my Once A Year Car Issue...

Another edition of....
Time to play another edition of, Where Does Sabina's Money Go?
Here's your first hint...I use it every day...
And the big clue: every year between Jan and March I spend money on it...
You guessed it! My ghetto-mobile of a car. Two days ago I heard a "clinging" noise in my car, but I thought it was something inside in the backseat or something.
Then at lunch yesterday the folks I was driving pointed out that it was coming from the brake area...
And then today, I couldn't start my car, ironically, when I was trying to take it in to fix the clanging noise.
From what Kraig could barely see, the belt around the alternator broke, which is what caused the battery to die (thank GOD...i replaced that mofo fairly recently)...but now he's worried the belt tied around the brake area, and why didn't i do something sooner blah blah (how much sooner can you get? Geezus).
So after much hoopla getting my car TOWED, because we had issues trying to jump it...it's in the shop, and in an hour I'll know just how broke I'm going to be.
Mother effer. Plus, I have no car for the day and I had a ton of stuff to do. MOTHER. EFFER.
We tried to figure out a way to afford another car payment...um yeah that's not happening (I refuse to do a 7 year loan that maybe yeah will only cost me $200 a month, but then if the car craps out like mine is now i'll end up owing more after the car is dead anyway).
MOTHER
EFFER
WHYYYY hasn't anyone invented teleportation yet?!?!
side note
Bryan: yeah i've done Pilates a ton, but that's not gonna help me with my splits endeavor.

My blog's got paneled walls
So thanks to Carrie's depressing link to Fortune magazine (Cubicles: The great mistake), I've been thinking about cube life more than normal.
The author in her native environment
I pretty much feel that cubes are a slap in the face of your employees. Ha ha, in order to have a roof over your head, ironically, we can slave-drive you in a box without a roof over your head.. You know the expression of a hundred monkeys typing away on a hundred typewriters...that's how I feel each day sitting in a cube.
Disclaimer: I love my job, I'm grateful I have a job, blah blah. This isn't job-centric. This is WORK-centric. No matter who my employer is, I still feel this way. /job security blurb.
I guess it could be worse. I briefly worked for a consulting company and was on location at Nortel...now as fantastic as Nortel was to work (every non-payday Friday was "TGIF" where they brought in ice cream, food, drinks....every Friday was fantastic!), they put their consultants in one of those "open concept" type of things. I guess it's good for productivity...you can't exactly surf the web easily...but that also meant if the jackass next to you was talking with another dude aobut something on his screen, you might as well have been involved in the conversation. Heck, we used to talk so much that it got to the point that we were notorious chatters...call me crazy, but if you put say a group of people at a wedding at the same dinner table...even without initially knowing each other....in the end, they WILL end up talking. You want to get people to shut up and work? Help them not SEE each other.
So yeah, it could be worse.
And I've only ever shared a cube once, which worked out well because it was with someone with just as little job ethics as I had (name withheld to protect the innocent...the STARR witness....)...
But in the end, unless you've got a DOOR...cubes just effing suck. The same job where I had to share a cube, the managers didn't even get offices...but ohhhh, to show seniority...they got little sliding doors. WTF. Who actually thinks "well the peons get cubes...the managers will get cubes and plexiglass doors...yes that'll show them who's got rank"....
I used to want to hang a shower curtain as a door....
Lemme tell you about HALF cube walls. First off, you can't hang JACK on the walls...everything gets knocked over because it's all at desk-level. And people ALWAYS hang over the side of the walls to chat, which not only makes things fall even more, but also makes it hard to get anything done. Don't get me wrong, i LOVE chatting with people, and I'm just as guilty...i'm blaming the cube walls, not the people. Heck, you can't even have a decent shelving system with half cube walls because the shelf ends up just sitting on your desk.
I pretty much think that the idiots who decide cube strategies all have OFFICES and know nothing about how people in cubes work.
You know who knows cube life? The guy who invented monitor mirrors. THAT DUDE deserves a nobel prize.
Another critical factor in the cubicle's rapid ascent was Uncle Sam. During the 1960s, to stimulate business spending, the Treasury created new rules for depreciating assets. The changes specified clearer ranges for depreciation and established a shorter life for furniture and equipment, vs. longer ranges assigned to buildings or leasehold improvements. (Today companies can depreciate office furniture in seven years, whereas permanent structures--that is, offices with walls--are assigned a 39.5-year rate.)
The upshot: A company could recover its costs quicker if it purchased cubes. When clients told Herman Miller of that unexpected benefit, it became a new selling point for the Action Office. After only two years on the market, sales soared. Competitors took notice.
I think my ASS is depreciating at a rate of 7 years. I should be able to write that off on my taxes too wtf.

Letter to the Editor
You don't know who John Stewart is? Are you retarded?
First off, it's JON stewart retard-boy...secondly, i was typing fast and I kept having Bill O'Reilly's name going through my head and I drew a mental blank.
Suck it.

yeah yeah
I'll get to blogging something, however I lead such a boring life I haven't had much to say, although this deserves special mention since I had witnesses...
On another note, someone needs to invent a NapMobile. Like they have mobile carwashes that come to your work and clean your car while it's parked....why not have a mobile NapMobile so that when people want to nap during their lunchhour they can go into a little area and sleep? Basically you're paying for a bed, clean sheets, and silence. People don't need alot of room...they can be little pods or something, japanese-style.
Sorry...when I think of something witty and/or enlightening, i'll let you all know....

(If yer a myspace user, you'd get that one)
If i wasn't somewhat religious, and anti-wearing anything that has a religious name or image on it, i would SOOOO get this one:

My blog would like to thank the Academy
Quick quick quick thoughts before the orchestra drowns me out...
1. I'm a BBQing grill-mastah! It's not like I've never BBQed before, but usually if Kraig is around I'd prefer that he do it (because i just don't LIKE it...the prepwork and all that)...but tonight, gasp, I actually BBQed all by my little ol' self while Kraig was out...and DAMN I made a mean, mean, MEAN mutha-effing chicken.
Okay really it came down to:
Anyone who's seen my pantry knows that I stock marinade like I'm stocking a bomb shelter. I keep buying marinades not realizing that I've got bottles and bottles of the same ones at home. Screw waiting for summer...i gotta start using this stuff up now. So I think Sundays are gonna be Marinated Chicken Night.
Mmm
mm
good
2. I didn't like Reese's dress.
3. I LOVED Keira's dress, Salma's dress, and Felicity's dress.
4. I think Ludacris was the best dressed guy, hands-down.
5. I never used to like George Clooney, but now that he's older and has grey hair, for some reason, this distinguished-look has piqued my interest.
6. I didn't think what's-his-face (the presenter, totally drawing a blank) was that funny,but it was a riot that he found it so hysterical that Three 6 Mafia were so hyped up by the win.
7. George Clooney's speech was PERFECT.
8. The chicken I made was really, really good.
9. Quite possibly, Jessica Alba is the most stunning gorgeous woman on the PLANET. Angelina looks hideous next to her even.
10. I think I'm going to start a "Let's Tell Sabina She Reminds People of Eva Longoria" fund....it's the hair! And I heard it again Friday. Now if only I had her money, her acting chops, her ass, her abs, and designers throwing their loot my way, I'd be SET. I guess I'll have to settle for the hair.

The Office
Okay so hands-down, Thursday nights are probably the most amazing thing to happen to TV. First you've got the OC, but you've also got My Name is Earl and The Office.
I'm officially obsessed with THe Office. Enough to rent the original BBC version and have a mini-marathon.
I'm checking out their website and they've got a mock-Dunder Mifflin site......the best is the "Featured Product" and its sku....that is effing hilarious.
The best part is, we've all got those types in our office or have in the past...
Michael Scott (the boss) easily reminds me of a certain chicken-skinned boss I had in San Jose for my first job here (Tony, you know who i mean...)
Pam is the Every Girl...pretty much all of us chicks...the ones who have the jobs but clearly would rather be in the big house with the big bucks...
Jim is the guy that we've all had a bit of a crush on, but would never admit to. What's funny is that the actor isn't a good-looking actor...but if he was a real dude in my office, OMG i would so have a mini-crush on him.
The Indian chick is the one who hangs out at your cube and NEVER shuts up.
That blond chick who's always bitter.....mannnnnn every company has the sourpuss beotch. Fortunately the one that she reminds me of I no longer have to deal with, but overall i don't think it's possible to have a workplace without her.
It kinda makes me want to work for a paper company....'cause at least they have flatscreen monitors.
On another note...
The New Year's Resolutions have taken a sour note.
First off, because for awhile i was diggin' the refinery thing (okay, not massively...but...better) but now I'm very "ahhh f*ck it all....take my attitude and shove it up your ass". Seriously disgruntled lately at life.
Why don't you just get over life?
As for the being a better wife...umm...haven't cooked dinner lately...AND...to top it off, we had ordered a ton of pizza and by the next day, i ate ALL the leftover...Kraig was like "i'll just have pizza...". Not only was there no pizza, there was no wife making him an alternative dinner either. I didn't even get up to pop a microwave meal in the freezer for him.
As for the splits....this morning I was so depressed over my lack of flexibility that I"m thinking I'm better off if someone just breaks me at the joints. People, I can't even touch my knees. MY KNEES. Let alone my toes. So this splits thing...you can imagine how far away I am from that pipe dream. I'm one stiff mofo.

Vocal tinkering with my future, one syllable at a time
Blatant advertising for Bryan's Blog http://zabtron.blogspot.com/
The Oscars are this weekend, and I've decided I've had it with award shows...anythingon VH1 or MTV is different, 'cause at least there's little mini skits or tons of music...plus formal stuff, forget it. All i need is my Red Carpet and I'm good to go. Especially now that Isaac Mizrahi is on E!.
I sure hope it rains on Sunday. That would be effing awesome.
In other news, this week I bought my first Girl Scout cookies. In canada they're "Girl Guides"...and there's 3 flavors...chocolate (two chocolate cookies with chocolate icing), vanilla (same deal), and then the "thin mint" kinds. That's IT. Although honestly, those Vanilla ones are to DIE for...i can't believe out of all the Girl Scout cookies they have here, they don't have the vanilla kind.
So in the US, Girl Scouts are seriously the reason for the rising waistlines....I can't begin to explain the number of cookies you can buy from them....things that shouldn't even be combined to form edible delectables are on the order sheet...
In other news, this is kind of a nerdy fun read....The history of the first Macs from teh guys who built them...they even have an entry for when they first presented a Mac to Mick Jagger.
And just 'cause I have not much to think of....(a particular person who shall remain nameless inspired me to write this)...Things that guys should either do or are responsible for....aka "Just be a f*cking man for God's sakes"
1. I'm sorry, but dammit, MEN EAT BURGERS. Round, ground up hunks of beef slapped between bread. And yes, they ahve to be round...if all you ate were White Castle burgers...well...you've got issues (moreso because your burgers have little holes in them)....And YES the bread is required. When i first met Kraig he was all Atkins before it was popular...and i was SO embarassed that he wouldn't eat the bun...I don't think I would have married him if eventually he didn't go back to eating burgers the normal, MANLY way.
2. Men should do the driving. Now don't get me wrong, there's plenty of times that I drive, especially when it's my car and i know where i'm going and he doesn't....but overall as a whole, if a group of people are going out...the majority of the time, the dude should drive. Not because it's the manly thing to do...but because, when asked, most guys will say "I'd probably drive...." because "I don't mind driving" or "I like driving"...
3. Men should do the BBQing. That includes all the prep work for it. Because they like raw meat and fire. I have no PROBLEMS barbequing...but do i really want raw meat steamed into my pores? I don't think so.
4. This one is Kraig's: it's the man's job to take out the trash. That being said, clearly to him that means only the kitchen trash because i'm the one running around from room to room wtf.
And a few more from said person, who shall remain nameless in case anyone wants to rip her a new one:
5. Opening car doors: so true...which also applies to regular doors....it's just SOOOO nice when a guy does that. I know you guys don't have to, but when you do...well...just know, we LOVE it.
6. Pay for taxi cabs: you know, i've never had a guy pay for a cab in full. WTF. Usually it's just a scramble for whoever's got cash.
7. Tip bellboys and other ancillary people that need to be tipped at hotels, valets, etc. ABSOLUTELY! I can't believe I didn't think of it myself, but yes, it's brilliant. I despise handing over the cash to another dude at a hotel, and it's usually a dude carrying your bags anyway...so it should be a man-to-man cash exchange.
8. Pump gas....yeah and I hate to admit this one, but deep down I do expect the dude to pump the gas. Especially since once time the gas totally leaked like crazy everywhere and if i've got open-toed shoes...that's just not right.
9. Mow the lawn: what's interesting is that growing up, my mom had this thing that I had to do dishes (not that often) and my brother had to mow the lawn (we lived in snow, that didn't happen much either)...i complained the mowing wasn't that bad so my brother and i switched for a week...OH MY GOD was I retarded?! My brother had teh dishes done in like 15 minutes and an hour later, i was still hauling that heavy ass thing around.
10. Wash the car: actually this one I kinda disagree with....I'm not sure why....i guess because I've never seen Kraig wash a car before, he always goes in to get it cleaned....i don't think i've EVER dated a guy who washed his own car....
11. Home improvement projects: ummm...well yeah that's good in theory....but if i want them done right (or really...done at ALL)...we know who's got the cordless drill in one hand, the hammer in the other....
So generally, here's what it comes down to...
I'm pretty independant, and I'm more than capable of doing anything on my own (whether it's grilling, wiring, or bellboy tipping)...but when a guy does it, it makes a chick feel super girly-girl and taken are of...if you like yer woman to have warm fuzzies when she's around you (i.e. increase your chances of getting laid)...suck it up and open the damn door.
