It's not about the money

Happy Groundhog Day Fuckers

Just a quick note to remind you that friday is groundhog's day so you know you should secure your copy of Groundhog's Day right now so you don't get stuck out in the cold trying to watch some bootleg cheap ass version on tbs.

Bill Murray might be my favorite person ever.

Today during my french class I made a list of everything I had to do for school this semester. It was surprisingly refreshing. So I'm not as concerned about school as I might have been last week.

Last weekend I went to Shane's birthday party, which was a lot of fun until I got really sick. oops.

It's cold and I'm pretty sure the heater in my apartment is broken.

please don't make sound please

Newly Transformed Transexual: "My husband was very perceptive. He picked it up from the small hints I would drop."

Tyra: "What kind of hints would you drop?"

NTT: "Well I suggested I would dress up as a man when we would go on a date."

That guy should have is own hotline where you call in and tell him something and then make him guess what you just told him. I love you tyra.

This morning I slept through my lab. Not at school like i did last week, but in my bed. oops. I was sort of happy about it when I woke up because I really hate lab. But I'm only allowed to miss two. so oops.

Did you watch the state of the union? I did. Some of what Bush said wasn't as retarded as it usually is. So congrats for that.

I'm taking this weather and climate class which should be really easy, but the professor is a recent immigrant who doesn't speak english very well. People talk throughout the class because you have to stay to sign the roll and you can't understand him and he gets really frustrated. Thus, "Please don't make sound. Please."

I hope your classes aren't as overwhelming as mine are this semester.

get a saucy krystal... or not

that's a quote from a real krystal's commercial, which makes me love krystal even more than I thought humans could love fast food conglomerates.

I ate a lot today, but I also excercised a lot so I guess it all balances out.

today I was driving back to my house and this car had a vanity plate "carma." Taking a philosophy of a religion and changing it for your vanity plate is hilarious. i think. no wait it's gross. what's next saabvation? toyinty?

and i was just watching american idol and there was this 16 year old juggling kid and they told him how much he sucked. i thought he was going to take ryan seacrest hostage. and then all i could think about was hitler getting rejected from the art school. Obviously I hope he doesn't turn into a demonic fascist leader, but alls I'm saying is American Idol might have just created a killer.

sinners in the hand

today was strange.

marta. i rode it for a while. i got a salad at Moe's. delicious.

I saw Children of Men. terrifying. so much scarrier than any horror movie.

what's with the one word sentences? retarded.

and i found out this week that someone I know is probably enlisting in the army, which is really strange. it feels like the 40's-- a decade I was never particularly attracted to.

diet tip: 1 tbsp. vinegar in some grape juice. i don't know how or why but it works. drink it in the morning.

i have to go to work tomorrow. blech.

2007: the year of the book.

First day of school, and all is well.

unfortunately I have gone on a buying spree.

I had a big borders gift card so i used it amazon (what a deal) and I bought a lot of books to read on Marta. My goal is to finish all of them before the end of the summer semester.

The list includes:
1. The Mixed up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
2. Madame Bovary
3. The Hotel New Hampshire
4. Anna Karenina
5. The End of the Story: A Novel
6. Almost No Memory: Stories

Here's a fun game. well no, but you know matching is cool right.

Match the author with the titles:
a. John Irving
b. Lydia Davis
c. Gustave Flaubert
d. Lydia Davis
e. E.L. Konigsburg
f. Leo Tolstoy

So today I had my french class and Geology: Weather and Climate. Both were hilarious. My french teacher is from the Riviera and is a ridiculous half funny, half huge asshole. quintessentially french.

my geology professor is from the west side of Bangladesh and insists that he's nothing like any other Indians we may know. he's really laid back though and said that he might not teach us much because our class is in the afternoon and he might be tired.

hopefully tomorrow will go as well as today.

MIND SHATTERING NEWS

This will be more surprising than the time that we found out Iola (from Mama's Family) and Gunny (from Major Dad) were one in the same.

Even more mind breaking than when we found out/met Mr. Connor's twin.

well probably not more than that.

Anyway Punjab of Annie fame also served as the smooth narrator of 2005's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I knew I recognized those strings from somewhere.

Annie had an insane effect on my childhood. I watched it constantly.

Lessons learned:

1. orphans are awesome

2. bald men are to be feared

3. drinking out of bathtubs is hilarious

4. socialism is the shit

5. PUNJAB

More importantly without Annie this Rooms to Go commercial could have never come about.

On a side note TiVo is also blowing my mind by knowing me better than I know myself. It recorded Maury fat baby day without me even having to ask! TECHNOLOGY!
