The Prince and His Carbon Emissions

Yeesh.
This is absolutely hilarious.
I was reading it to mother and could barely get the words out because I laughing so hard.

I've been tagged

I was just looking at Emma's blog and saw that she has tagged me.
I am requested to reveal 5 things about myself.
So.
Here goes...

1) I get hives for absolutely no reason. The last time was so bad, my doctor had to put me on Prednisone to make them go away.

2) When I wear a watch, which isn't often because they usually give me a rash, I switch it back and forth between my right and left wrists.

3) I have cheated on schoolwork. I know, you're shocked....what can I say...I'm human. But don't worry - I confessed. :)

4) I don't like white pianos.

5) I can sing O, Come All Ye Faithful in Latin.

It's that time of year...

Just wanted to apologize to anyone who arrived here by way of Derek's blog.
I'm working on a restraining order.
;)

Blather

I can't stand it when people refer to California as "Cali."
That really annoys me.
I'm not sure why.
Just annoys me.
For some reason, it seems to always come from non-natives, but perhaps I better not go there.

Things are progressing nicely for my study abroad venture.
I have to go do the workshop thingie.
The largest mall in Europe is in Sheffield....anyone up for some shopping?
:)

My schedule this week is insane.
I work Mon-Sat.
*cries*
In the words of Snow White, someday my Sugar Daddy will come...

I miss people who entertain me when they are gone.
All people who aren't entertaining should be fired from life or something.
I'm a firm believer in the whole not judging a book by its cover thing, but I'm afraid that there are wading pools among us.
Of course, I suppose the size of the wading pool is relative.
Stick an ant in a wading pool and he'll probably argue that it's very large indeed.

It's time for me to go to bed.
Wading pools and ants.
Bedtime.

Night, night.

Blah blah blah

Sorry folks....I've been absent too long.

Anyways.
School and work.
That's all you've missed.
Yep.
The story of my life.

In other news, I offer you some photos, graciously shared by Bethany and her spiffy keen camera.







I have this nifty program that takes out the red eye.
Handy thing, that.

Lookie

Oh, to be in England...

Oooooohhhhh...
I am so impressed.
I love this new theme.
Bob (the professor, not the deceased iPod) showed us a video about Robert Frost and the footage of England in it practically had me in tears.
I need help.
I need a Sugar Daddy.

Our hostel in London was at the King's Cross/St.Pancras stop (the light blue line).
I never got us lost in the Tube.
The only time we got mixed up was when Lissa was the navigator. :)

School is going fine.

I gotta go.
I have to go mingle with the relatives.
*sigh*
I worked six days straight this week.
I'm tired of people.

Waaaahhhh

Bob has gone to iPod heaven.
*bursts into tears*

My life....lately

Alright.
I figured since Emma has been posting after a 6 month absence, I should get on the ball.

So.
Yep.
Life goes on.
Here's a pic of Joanna and I at the BAD party -

She's hilarious.
She has great hair.

School is going well.


There are 3 guys in the Romanticism class.
Go figure.
This is the Schulz Center, home of the Charlie Brown Cafe.


It's so cool that there is Peanuts stuff on campus.

Anywhoo.
That's about it.
I'm not feeling terribly sparkly at the moment.
You'll have to check back.

OH!
I'm afraid Bob is on the downhill swing.
Might have to get a new one.
Something to think about.

Signing off.

A pair

The Soprano and The Alto

Tasha

I swiped these from Amanda's blog.
Is this kid cute or what.
She's like Gerber Baby cute.
I can't believe how cute she is, but considering that she's part Gooch, how could she not be cute.
;)

I love that one!

It's Vermeer time again.

I love Vermeer.
I decided a while ago that if Vermeer had been a composer, he would have been Chopin and that if Chopin had been a painter, he would have been Vermeer.
Yes, I think about things like that.

So, lyrics were in my head and they seemed to fit this particular painting, so there you have it.

I should be in bed.
I was awakened at 1:45 am by a friend who was scared to do death that someone had broken into her house.
An hour and a half later, after I told her to call 911, I was trying to go to sleep again.
To set your mind at ease, the nice officers didn't find anything and everyone is okay.

I gotta go to bed.
Ornament setup tomorrow.
Yay.
*sigh*

Update

So, I was asked to update.

The third and the fourth were nice.
Outrageously nice weather.
Not so spectacular fireworks.

The boys were lovely and I had shakey arms to prove it.
:)

Ornament premiere is this weekend.
Happy happy, joy joy.

I've been having odd dreams lately, for no particular reason I can think of, except that I have odd dreams anyways.
*sigh*

People are so tiresome sometimes.
I apologize if I am tiresome.
Please forgive me.

I made a magnificent cake yesterday.



It's lovely.

There.
I've updated.
Is everybody happy now?

Spider's Web - Katie Melua

If a black man is racist, is it okay?
When it's the white man's racism that made him that way,
Because the bully's the victim they say,
By some sense they're all the same.

Because the line between,
Wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread,
From a spider's web.
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.

I could tell you to go to war,
Or I could march for peace and fighting no more,
How do I know which is right,
And I hope he does when he sends you to fight.

Because the line between wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web,
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.

Should we act on a blame?
Or should we chase the moments away?
Should we live?
Should we give?
Remember forever the guns and the feathers in time.
Because the line between wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web,
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind

Heroe

Three cheers for YouTube.

I picked this video because *gasp* they're singing LIVE and it's the complete version of the song, not the abbreviated one that they usually use now.
And because it's free of any annoying host gabbing on and on about things we already know.

:)

I caved in and made an appointment to see dear old Doc tomorrow.
This is just getting tiresome.
Two weeks is long enough.
*sigh*

Smackdown

Some days, life is like this...

I know, I know.
I just haven't felt like saying anything.

I had a birthday.
Been sick.
I think mother will soon be threatening me to get me to go to the doctor.
Bah.
I didn't take Nyquil last night.
It wasn't pretty.

Got a very cool teapot for my birthday.
Has Elizabeth I and bunch of relevant men from the period.
Very cool design.

It was hot here last week.
We got a new air conditioner.

I trimmed my fingernails.

I feel and have a big bruise on my left knee.

Two of our keyholders at work gave their two weeks notice, so we're somewhat up a creek.
Yay.

I woke early today because I thought I was taking my father to get his glasses fixed.
My mother decided to take him.

I'm compiling a cd for our Fourth Bash at Pammie and Geno's, which is actually going to be on the Third.
:)

That's about it folks.

OOHHHH!!!!
WAIT!!!!!

I have five words for you -
Daphne Ruben Vega as Fantine.

I leave it at that.
People are DUMB.
