Apr. 18 Robin Thicke: I saw this performance of Robin Thicke's "Sex Therapy" on Jimmy Kimmel. This is my favorite live performance of this song from him. First it's him playing the piano. Then he dances with his mike by feeling it up. He sings with emotion and grooves to the song.
I like the part 2:30 in where he sings the fast part, and dances faster to it. He can sing live very well. When you're in the studio, you can sound really good. In live performances, it's different.

Post Secret: This must be a sign for me to stop making abortion jokes. The secrets were:
There's a picture of an ultrasound: "I forgive myself, but I'll never forgive you."
"I escort women into the clinic to keep them safe...even though the thought of an abortion makes me want to cry."
There's a picture of a Planned Parenthood poster: "I take down your flyers b/c I'm Pro-life."
"I had the child that would have saved my life aborted."
Email message: "I'm so sick of reading anti-choice, misogynistic drivel on your site. Here's a secret for you: a vast majority of women who have abortions, don't regret them."
Email message: "Maybe the only women who have secrets to write are the ones who regret it? After all, if you didn't regret something, it's not really going to haunt you."
I do agree with the latter. I remember there was a secret years ago on the site: "I gave the baby up for adoption. He has found me. I wished I gotten an abortion." I remember that time I worked at the $1 Store back in 2004. I had a co-worker who got pregnant at 15 and she kept the kid and raised it as her own.
She got pregnant again because had an affair with a married man. She had the kid and gave the kid to the guy. She then said: "If I knew that I was going to gain this much weight, and not be able to lose it, I would have just gotten an abortion." She had this blase attitude towards abortion, because she didn't raise the kid. She had no connection with him.
"If my mother didn't have an abortion after she was raped, I would not exist."
I watch Law and Order: SVU and Detective Benson's a cop who is a product of rape. Now she solves rape cases.
Another secret was: "I dated a criminal defense attorney- he used the date rape drug to rape me- he told me no judge would believe me- I regret that I believed him." The point is to report a rape. Go through the trial, and even if he doesn't get convicted, you still get closure.
16 and Pregnant: This morning I looked for a job on the internet for 3 hours. I treated myself to reading this twop.com thread tonight. This woman says: "I went to the health dept. to get free pills, but was put on hold because I had my period on the day I was supposed to have the exam. By the time I went back, it was too late." She shouldn't have had sex then.
She said she got an abortion, though it was a hard decision to make. She never imagined to keep the baby. She can't understand why these girls on the show would keep the kid, and goes on about now she has a lifelong obsession with teen pregnancy. She says that she even forgot for a min. that she was in that situation. She says: "I think that kind of speak volumes."
Saying: "You know the saying: "When it rains, it pours." It's weird today. My grandma wakes me up so I can pick up a heavy pail of water." Then my sister calls me and asks to pick up her keys and cell phone she left at home.
I call the restaurant that I worked at for 3 hours last week, and she says that it's slow and I won't be working there anymore. No surprise. Before she hired me she said it was slow, and when I worked there, it was slow. I went and picked up my $27. Then I called the call centre and they said I got laid off because of a shortage of work.
They said they sent me a letter last week. I got the record of employment today. Well more EI for me. This was kind of my wish. I liked the fact that I can put this call centre on my resume, and not actually work there. I'm still hired, but they weren't giving me shifts. I really expected the place to close down first, and then lay us off. I got another email from TD and they said I won't be getting hired at this other position I applied for.
Funny: It's even kind of funny. The other day I was thinking about asking the call centre to lay me off. I thought of it like a joke so I can get more EI. Then it actually occurs. In March, I did call them and tell them I got laid off from the Soup place and asked for more shifts. I even called last week about the ROE because I thought I needed that when I was applying for EI for the Soup place.
Human Target: I feel like this TV show is talking to me. Earlier a character said about the job: "There's no job security and no benefits, I'll take what I can get." Then in another episode he said: "It's a job. Sometimes it's fun. And sometimes it isn't. So stop being a baby." I'm really trying to get a job in downtown.
But if things get worse, and I'm desperate, I'll get a job at West Ed which is an hr bus ride for me. I was talking to my friend Jessica the other day, and she's in her 3rd year studying science. She says she is seriously considering moving to the US to get a job in her field.
Joke: I remember this joke back in 2002 when Patrick and I were watching MADtv, and Deborah and Mo are on the Die Another Day premiere. Cut to an Asian guy.
D: Hey everybody, it's Rick Yune. He plays the bad guy in the movie. I'm Deborah, and this is Mo. We're from MADtv.
RY's lit up.
RY: So do you guys know Bobby?
(Bobby Lee is an Asian actor on the show).
D: Yeah, so what? Do all the Asians know each other?
P and I burst out laughing. RY laughs.
Apr. 20: I was watching a MADtv rerun and I saw this Asian guy with Bobby Lee in a sketch. He looked really familiar. It took me a moment to place him.
Me: Hey, it's the Asian guy who plays the teacher on the TV sitcom Community!
His name is Ken Jeong and he was in the movie The Hangover. He was on Conan O'Brien and he talked about being a doctor and an actor at the same time. It was funny to KJ an CO do some dancing together on the show.
Good: I filed for EI again for the call centre today. I then finally did that test that the bank asked me to do for this one position. Also today I got rejected for another position there. The test was good. Answer these statements like: "I can adapt to change." That's true, I can adapt to change way better than the last time I got laid off back in 2006.
Octomom: The octomom Nadya Suleman was on Oprah today, and I had to watch it. They showed the Oprah camera crew following her around for a day, and an interview. NS says she didn't even know who Angelina Jolie was until she got famous, and then everybody started comparing NS to her.
There are 3 nannies in the day to take care of 14 kids. NS says no nanny has ever quit on her, she has only fired them. She has made $100,000 on that magazine photo shoot for US Weekly, I think. She spends $1000 on groceries a week. She says she has a lot of energy and that she was completing her master's degree when she was having the octuplets. She sleeps about 3 hrs a day.
She says she never had this many kids to be famous, and she would never do a reality show. She doesn't want to exploit the kids, and wants to make all her money by herself. She doesn't live on welfare.
Apr. 21: I thought it was kind of weird that prior to NS having octuplets, she was on food stamps. She didn't know that food stamps was welfare. When she did learn that, she can canceled the food stamps. I thought everybody knew that food stamps was welfare.
At least she did admit that she feels guilty because she has all these kids, and not all of them gets her attention. She was an only child, and she felt empty on the inside, so she looks for things to fill herself up. People do that with shopping, food, drugs, alcohol or good things like achievements or finding friends.
