Refresh often, read from the bottom up and enjoy!

11:42 p.m. CDT - The cats are telling me it's time to go to bed, and I agree. Hope you enjoyed this live blogging experience!
11:30 p.m. CDT - I wonder if David Sedaris ever gets tired of reading his own stories aloud. I bet I would. I wonder when someone is going to ask me to go on a Live Blog Tour and have me read my blog posts aloud in front of adoring audiences.
11:15 p.m. CDT - I love this commercial:
11:04 p.m. CDT - Looks like Rosie Perez has had some work down. She still irritates the shit out of me. I am going to forget she is in Pineapple Express and still be excited to see it.
10:59 p.m. CDT - I was thinking about going to bed, but David Sedaris is going to be on Letterman - yay!
10:26 p.m. CDT - Still pissed about my phone.
10:00 p.m. CDT - I'm tempted to watch Bridget Jones' Diary again. Love that Mr. Darcy.
9:47 p.m. CDT - Still pissed off about my stupid phone.
9:28 p.m. CDT - Just dropped my phone and the bottom set of buttons now won't go back in. Awesome. And by awesome, I mean exactly the opposite.
8:28 p.m. CDT - Oh, sure NOW Bravo starts pushing Project Runway. They just informed me that Natalie Portman is going to be the guest judge on the next episode. Damn it, Bravo! You know I don't like to know these things before the show!
8:01 p.m. CDT - I love Bridget Jones' Diary. Why is it that this is the only movie in which I have ever liked Renee Zellweger? I think I like "fat" Renee. Emaciated Renee seems a little too full of herself. Gosh, I love Colin Firth. No, I still will not see Mamma Mia.
7:46 p.m. CDT - I may have picked the most boring day ever to live blog. Right now I'm playing Word Twist/watching the Twins game/listening to music. I might play Solitaire and maybe watch a movie. Rockin' Friday night.
7:07 p.m. CDT - The first really productive thing I've done all day: a long overdue post for Three Pints.
5:59 p.m. CDT - Just played my flute (for the first time in about six months) until my mouth started to hurt (about five minutes). Note to self: Don't make any plans to audition with the Minnesota Orchestra.
5:41 p.m. CDT - Doh! Mom got a bingo in a different game - 67 points for "tootsies."
5:38 p.m. CDT - B-I-N-G-O! Scored 67 points for "ransacks" in a Scrabulous game with my mom.
5:28 p.m. CDT - Broke down and got Applebee's carside to go, and now kind of feel like taking another nap.
Dear person whose car died in the left lane of a very busy street during rush hour,
Believe me, I know how much it sucks to have your car die in the middle of the road. Believe me. However, there is a thing called common human courtesy and it states that if your car dies, turn your hazard lights on. PLEASE. That way I know you're in distress and not just an idiot who doesn't know how to drive. I hope you can forgive me for yelling at you and calling you a "dumb effing R-word" and an "asstard" among other things I do not recall at this time. I hope you get your car fixed and it costs you less than $1,000. But next time, put on the double blinkers.
Thank you,
H
4:34 p.m. CDT - Ventured outside to get the mail. Got my pay stub, the 2008-2009 brochure for a theatre I've never heard of, and the new issue of Vogue. Kate Moss looks gorgeous on the cover, but I'm still not renewing my subscription. For real this time.
4:27 p.m. CDT - Seriously, the idea of Meryl Streep in sequined dresses, dancing around and singing really freaks me out. Pierce Brosnan can't make me want to see this movie. Even Colin Firth can't make me want to see this movie.
4:12 p.m. CDT - Having eaten lunch just after 11, I am starting to get hungry again, but realize if I eat now, I will be wanting another meal in about three hours. Dilemma.
3:55 p.m. CDT - Scrabulous, I was so close to getting a bingo, but you would have to give me an "I" I couldn't use, wouldn't you?
3:44 p.m. CDT - Can anyone identify my mystery plant? It is now more than six feet tall, has reached the top of my screen door and is threatening to keep me in my house forever, then eat me.
3:37 p.m. CDT - Shaun of the Dead is on. To think, I was going to turn on Dr. Phil.
3:30 p.m. CDT - If I were working today, I would still be there for another half hour.
3:28 p.m. CDT - In case you're wondering, Jason Sobel didn't answer my question today (it was lame). K.J. Choi is leading the Open Championship with a one-stroke lead over...Greg Norman. Greg "I Married Chris Evert" Norman. Greg "I Didn't Even Practice For This Tournament" Norman. Pretty exciting stuff, if you ask me.
3:27 p.m. CDT - So I slept a bit longer than 89 minutes. Sue me.
12:44 p.m. CDT - Just popped Office Space into the DVD player and am going to take a little nap. See you in 89 minutes!
12:15 p.m. CDT - If I was at work right now, my day would be only a little more than half over.
12:02 p.m. CDT - Well, my car safely made it the 3.3 miles from my friendly local mechanic's to my house, so I am going to officially say that today has been a success. With my tummy now full of Wisconsin mac and cheese, I am ready to tackle the tasks of the afternoon.
11:02 a.m. CDT - We're getting ready to leave to go have lunch at Noodles & Co. and pick up my car and the boyfriend says, "So, you wanna drive?" Ha.
10:50 a.m. CDT - So far, this has been the least productive day ever. Except for this blog post, which I'm sure is riveting millions as I type.
10:38 a.m. CDT - What is Matt Lauer doing on Will and Grace? Actually, I think this was the live episode, which might have been the stupidest idea ever. I'm switching to Gilmore Girls.
9:52 a.m. CDT - Just got the message that my car is done. I'm excited to have my car back, but not so excited to pay for it. Maybe I should leave it there over the weekend to teach it a lesson.
9:26 a.m. CDT - No, it looks terrible.
9:20 a.m. CDT - I take it back, Pierce Brosnan. Ow ow.
9:15 a.m. CDT - Am I the only one who thinks Mamma Mia looks terrible?
9:01 a.m. CDT - Regis and Kelly have a segment called Grilling With the Stars, and today's guests are Mario Lopez (that's A.C. Slater to you) and his mom. Kelly's dress is hideous and does anyone else think it's weird that she and Regis came out holding hands?
8:48 a.m. CDT - Jason Sobel is doing a little live blogging of his own over at ESPN, covering the Open Championship. I just sent him an e-mail, so I hope I make it in!
8:36 a.m. CDT - Have any pressing questions you need answered? Feel free to e-mail me at randommindlessramblings@gmail.com.
8:25 a.m. CDT - Attempts to go back to sleep were unsuccessful, so it's time to Find Out What's On Morning Daytime Television.
Muriel's Wedding is on Bravo! What a find on just the third channel I surfed. It's toward the end, though, so I'm going to keep on keepin' on.
On America's Test Kitchen they're making chicken skillet dinners. Boring much? I could probably even make those, and I'm domestically challenged.
Good Morning America is having a dog show on the red carpet.
So, I just found Divorce Court, and it's a special week - Divorce Idol Week. RuPaul's fat sister is on the stand dressed as Anna Nicole Smith and she apparently wants to be a famous rap star. I can't understand from watching this testimony why this man would want to divorce her! Oddly, he seems sane.
There's square dancing on public access. Too bad the boyfriend is still asleep and the cats don't seem interested in dancing.
I have finally settled on Zoboomafoo on the public television kids' channel. Come on, it's a cute show! And I love penguins. I want one to come hang out at my house today.
8:10 a.m. CDT - I'm going back to bed.
8:02 a.m. CDT - Rudely awakened by my ringing cell phone. Recognize the number as the mechanic's, so I answer. Turns out when the timing belt broke, it messed with some things it shouldn't have and in order to get my car running right I need to have a couple other things replaced. For $267.08. In addition to the already hefty total for fixing the timing belt. Bringing the grand total for the whole project to damn near what my paycheck is going to be today. Fantastic.

Ugh. Money. Into a car. It's like throwing it into the wind and watching it fly away. Bummer.
Also, David Sedaris? Love him. One of things that got stolen b/c it was in my car was one of his books on tape. =( I (usually) love hearing authors read their work out loud. It helps when I'm reading it in my head. Maya Angelou I didn't enjoy so much. She was just boring. Is that wrong to say?
