Haven't been here in literally ages. But, I did master the LJ cut thing... (I hope... took me a bloody long time to do it too.)
What is new? Not too much. BTW Bees hates that song. I love it, I find it hilarious and Gen X's theme song. I'm pretty much on Tumblr and Wordpress. I had to sign up again bc Tumblr shut me out the one time. So... that sucks. But, life goes on. :)
Tumblr: here
Simblr: here
WP: here
Julz is playing Subway Surfers. I'm just jiving along here. :D I have had one coffee, and one Diet Coke, and guess who's not sleeping tonight?? *jabs chest* But, idgaf. It's going to be wild... maybe I might feel it later... maybe not? IDK. But, I pay for this, so I figured, why not?
Whatevs. I'm out.
Sam
Social media
Nov. 14th, 2024 08:40 am* being on a Pokémon-centric server does have it's appeals.
So, in other news, I have abandoned LJ for x-posting for IJ. I am 'punkrockdeath' over there. :) My allergies are bugging the crap out of me, bc certain individuals insist on wearing a shit ton of perfume where ever they go. :(
It's nearly the weekend! Woohoo!!
I've got this in my head:
I can tell, I'm getting psyched for the weekend!
I had coffee but the No Name brand is sucky. The aftertaste is disgusting. :(
Welp.. I'm off to play the Sims 3.
Sammy
Today is Wednesday and that means New D usually, but they are really strict on people with colds and stuff, so I'm staying back, unless something miraculous happens?
I started this book last night, it's turning out to be a real pageturner, but I promised Pinky I'd read Strange Sally Diamond first.
My iPhone charger is acting up, so I have been hooking it up to my computer to charge. Working out so far so good. :)
Deb gave me The Hunger Games book yesterday. I lent it to Julz cos I think she'd enjoy it too.
Well, time to get the ol' lemon ginger tea out... lmao!!!!!
One thing that surprised me this morning, was the heat being on. Yay!!!
Well... that's all from me... later gator.
Sammy
Some rando pix
Nov. 12th, 2024 08:09 pmI find myself increasingly less on here + WP and more on there. If any of y'all are on Tumblr, let me know cos I tend to aggregate my feed that way. :)
I might... *BIG MIGHT* go back on LJ cos they had a better rich text editor. I will let you know. I could x-post there too. That'd be ok?
Sammy
I'm here and I'm okay...
Nov. 10th, 2024 07:19 pmNot much is up, Bees' birthday is on the 20th. I bought her a cake and some Haiku perfume from Avon. :) Liz will deliver the cake the Tuesday b4 her bday. :)
I have been playing the Sims 4 an awful lot. I have barely touched my Sims 2 + 3 games. :o I love the new ep. It rocks!! I'm going to create a legacy based on my simself and I'm placing myself in Ravenwood. That will go on my WP. I just link to my WP from my Tumblr bc Tumblr is, tbh a bit intrusive?
Oh well, I guess I'll catch Lucifer on Netflix tonight. :) Gods Tom Ellis is fucking gorgeous!! And the accent? Omg yes!!!!
LOL
Sammy
Need coffee (or other source of caffeine)
Nov. 5th, 2024 12:44 pmI think I'll just wait for Liz... and tomorrow morning, I will retrieve both tablets (Bees' iPad and my Samsung) and put them in the grey tablet pouch I have for such an occasion. I don't think I'll bring my computer this time. I decided not to get Snapchat+ (or Snapchat tbh) bc I hardly use it. I want to keep my iPhone for my diabetes monitor and for photography, and my tablet is for fun... capisce?
I will read y'all after my bath...
Sammy
No particular subject...
Nov. 3rd, 2024 02:29 pmI'm watching Ghost Rider, I saw that originally at the cinema. It was great, I watched it with Bees, and now as I sit on my bed typing this out, I'm watching it on my Samsung tab on Netflix.
I guess that I will watch Bergerac or something after this. Or maybe Eight Crazy Nights... I adore that movie. Some people like their saccharine Hallmark holiday movies? I like mine... extra sweaty... if you got that ref here: πͺ
After the dishes (if I do them) idk what I'll do... I know Bees is watching tv, and Julie is going to watch the Menendez brothers movie, but idk what I will do, probably nothing, maybe play Style Savvy. It's going to rain also, and my arthritis is telling me how.
What are y'all up to?
Sammy
A short entry bc I'm dead tired...
Nov. 1st, 2024 08:23 pmTomorrow, I might just relax with my girls, or maybe finish CvsZ... that one is a real corker. :3
I'm going to just relax now.
Bon nuit!
Sammy
Today, otherwise is just your average November day. Heh. :D Tomorrow is Día de los Muertos, I think it's also today too? But I am not celebrating that, my main holidays are Samhain (or Hallowe'en) and Hanukkah. I would love to see all the decorations for Dia de los Muertos bc of Coco the movie... idk, death fascinates me. :)
I may play the Sims and put them on my Pillowfort. Yeah...
Sammy
Went to Pik Kwik today...
Oct. 31st, 2024 07:09 pmSpeaking of birthdays...

It
I heart birthdays. I enjoy seeing joy in people's faces on their special day. I think it's my dad's 89th also. Heh. Gosh I miss him.
But anyways, don't OD on the sweets ok?? I for one do not like sweets at all. Give me crisps any day of the week. ;)
Now things (trick or treating) are picking up steam. Lots of people, dogs and perhaps spooks?? ;)
Whatevs, I wanna find a gory film on Screambox and bingewatch any of the ones I find.
Sammy
OK!! Let's do this~!
Oct. 31st, 2024 06:49 amOk, so I promised you pix and they are on my PiFo link here!
Sammy
Happy Samhain!!
Oct. 31st, 2024 06:44 am
This is the night when the gateway between
our world and the spirit world is thinnest.
Tonight is a night to call out those who came before.
Tonight I honor my ancestors.
Spirits of my fathers and mothers, I call to you,
and welcome you to join me for this night.
You watch over me always,
protecting and guiding me,
and tonight I thank you.
Your blood runs in my veins,
your spirit is in my heart,
your memories are in my soul.
With the gift of remembrance.
I remember all of you.
You are dead but never forgotten,
and you live on within me,
and within those who are yet to come.
Samhain prayer for children:
Samhain is here, cold is the earth,
as we celebrate the cycle of death and rebirth.
Tonight we speak to those through the veil,
the lines between worlds are thin and frail.
Ghosts and spirits in the night,
magical beings rising in flight,
owls hooting up in a moonlit tree,
I don't fear you and you don't fear me.
As the sun goes down, far to the west,
my ancestors watch over me as I rest.
They keep me safe and without fear,
on the night of Samhain, the Witches' New Year.
At the curtain call, the cast had everyone, and I mean, EVERYONE!! On their feet, singing, dancing and cheering, it was fabulous!!! The person playing the mother was a bit brassy... and I assume, that the usernames on the cast bios in the programme are for X. But I don't have X... too toxic. But, I digress.. it didn't stray much from the movie. They performed my all time favorite songs (Voulez Vous + S.O.S) and some that I was unfortunately not as familiar with. (lol)
When we got in at about 6pm, we had pizza, Caesar salad, and potato wedges. Soooooooooooooo goood y'all!! And D even bought us pop (diet and regular)!!
We saw Chinatown, the theatre district, the financial district (Bay) and both City Halls... both old and new. We saw the Don River where Maman looked for fiddleheads when she was younger. I saw my old college campus (Seneca Newnham campus which Justin wants to shut down cos of all the international students. Don't ask, politics be politics.)
I took so many pictures that my battery was pretty much dead by the time we got to the theatre. Some are good and some are just plain abysmal. I will upload them tomorrow... once my phone is not DOA. I should have taken my tablet bc the battery is better but shoulda woulda coulda.. eh?
Before making my bed, I took a picture of the programme and stuck it on my WP.
Oh gosh I need sleep badly!! Night y'all. Bon nuit!
Sammy
Hello from phone land π€£
Oct. 29th, 2024 10:10 amDo you know how weird it is to write entries in here on an iPhone SE?? Like seriously!! I told you that I’d write though.
I packed up my stuff this morning. I have to return the quilt that I was borrowing back tomorrow, and I have already washed my sheets and all that.
But, I’m in the quiet room, just chatting with Bees and watching Midsomer Murders… I will get my computer and tablet out tomorrow night, and do my review then.
I talked with Kai and she gave me advice on how to manage my anxiety for tomorrow… β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
I haven’t really gone out to where there are a lot of people in a long time. π±π±π± but that’s ok.
I’m switching banks from Tangerine to TD Canada Trust next week. Tangerine is an awful bank tbh. I don’t like certain policies of theirs. I would switch to BMO but, I hate the mall and that’s where the closest branch is.
Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. In April, I’m going to buy a laptop WITH a webcam (lol) from Techbuy.
Well, I need to use the loo π½π€£, so.. I will post again later! And I will read y’all too. π
Sammy
Two legacies to read while you wait!
Oct. 28th, 2024 07:41 pmSo, as for posting entries tomorrow, it might have to be by phone, bc after my bath I want to pack up my computer and tablet.. at least until Thursday or Friday. I don't need my computer fumigated tyvm.
I will have a review hopefully up by Thursday, maybe Wednesday night. IF I am not too bushed.
Well.. toodles!!
See yas!!
Arrivederci!
I'll shut up now.
Sunday night
Oct. 27th, 2024 06:23 pmWhat's new with you lovely ppl? I'm so-so. G is being a fucking pain in the ass rn. I guess you could color me pissed off. She is a damn hypocrite. She accused me of not doing the dishes the "correct" way which happens to be "her" way. I'm so angry rn!!! She is a stubborn bitch!!! I need to relax with some music. I have discovered a great new tune...
This is a great song. I'm adding it to my Spotify list. π©Άπ©Άπ©Ά It's actually the song that the Sims 4 uses in their teaser vid for the new Life & Death ep. That btw is sweet as fuck!
If I go to Mamma Mia, cos I'm not sure now bc Julz can't get onto the chartered Greyhound, I hope she can get on, she had surgery on her knee in September, so she is nervous about bending it very much. But if I am going, I will watch out for the frog dance and give my opinion on it.
I need to unwind...
Sammy
Busy week!!
Oct. 27th, 2024 08:58 amThat will be epic. I have the new base game update, as well...
I am not going to the Xmas party bc Julz can't go bc it's only for CHO residents, and she isn't CHO, she is regional. Anyways, that is one thing off my worries...
I will not post on Tuesday bc I want to get the room prepped, and I want to get my computer in it's case with my tablet. I will take my phone and my 3DS for after on the bus home... most of the pictures will be through the bus windows...
I think that maybe I will find a new bag for all my shit that is in my bag of tricks. I also might get my Osho deck ready for Samhain's draw. I want to get another deck too. But that may I have to get that in the new year. I have to find out the exact deck's name cos I can't remember it. But seeing as Samhain is Thursday, I might not get to do the draw... I have too much on my plate, I have to get my arse to the convenience mart to take out cash, then, I am going to be with Bees and Julz after that, then, after supper, I am going to take a walk to document what most call Hallowe'en... like what I call the tourist way... you know, the jack o'lanterns, the costumes, etc etc...
But, c'est la vie.
Sammy
Dolores et eiusmod...
Oct. 26th, 2024 07:04 pmI had an ok day, I watched The Black String for the second time, the first time I watched it, I didn't understand it but I do now.. sometimes you need to re-watch things to see the bigger picture.
I'm going to be super busy this week so, I will try and post from my phone, and I will have a review of Mamma Mia! on either Wednesday night or Thursday. I'd better put on my good glasses for this....
Anyways, that's my Caturday, what was yours like?
Sammy
Other than that, I have been invited to a Christmas party. Dunno if I will go though, bc I hate large groups of people and they are having Chinese food which is not up my alley. I'm an antisocial bitch but that's just the way I is. Bees and Julz are going... and that's good for them. Part of it is social anxiety too... Hell.. I may go. I don't want Bees and Julz to be lonely. π©Άπ©Άπ©Ά
But other than that, there is Samhain on Thursday!! ππππππ And Hanukkah on the 25th of December to the 2nd of January. And 2025. And so forth... life goes on am I right?
I'm tired now, and want to get some sleep... I slept like shit last night. Heh, though, I phoned Maman at 6:30am to tell her the GFS (Gordon Food Service) truck was here with their delivery... I was up at fucking 3am. Whyyy I have no clue... perhaps it is something organic like too much caffeine (yesterday) or whatever.
I think this weekend I will buy some Coke Zero for myself, and Diet Pepsi for Julie.
Well, I'm going to bed.
Night y'all...
Sammy
