12/27/2005 From a story on Yahoo news: ...they suggested that the teaspoons were quietly migrating to a planet uniquely populated by "spoonoid" life forms living in a spoonish state of Nirvana. They also offered the phenomenon of "resistentialism" in which inanimate objects like teaspoons have a natural aversion to humans. On the other hand, they suggested, people might simply be taking them. posted 12:15 AM / post / view (0) 12/25/2005 I was so hoping I'd get a laptop for Christmas. It would be perfect to take with me to New York. Fortunately, I have the best family ever, and they got it for me. ^_^ Wheeeee! Very good Christmas for me. I love my family. I hope everyone else had a good Christmas, or whatever else they celebrate. Or just a good long weekend. Those are nice, too. So if I can just get out of my apartment by this Friday, things will be good. My ticket is for January 12. Countdown begins.... now. Listening to: Your Eyes from Rent. posted 11:28 PM / post / view (0) 12/14/2005 So, what's been happening. Still working crazy hours. But I have all my Christmas shopping done, which is totally amazing for me. Robin gave me Gilmore Girls season 4 (yay) and promptly borrowed it to watch the Renaissance wedding episode (but it's okay because I offered). I don't know if I said it here, but I found myself an apartment in NY. I'm very happy about it because it's only a few blocks away from the wonderful Liz. ^_^ She tells me there's a bus stop, subway, Target and Gap right in the neighborhood, so I'm all set. Oh, and the apartment is on top of an Irish pub, sooo... score. I have yet to buy a plane ticket, but I'll get to it. I should be gone in about a month. I'm going to move in and get a part-time job; let myself get accustomed before I jump into anything full-time. Here's a fun story for you (that I meant to post weeks ago). I was driving home one night, around 9 or 10, somewhat late. I turn onto my street, start rounding the curve, and I see something in the middle of the road that looks like it could be a small animal. So I slow down... and I lean forward, just looking at it, trying to figure out what it is as my headlights shine on it... and it's a possum. Which is great, 'cause I hate possums. They're frickin' scary looking. But wait, there's more! Not only is there a possum chillin' in the middle of the road, it's also... licking the pavement. I'm not kidding. Licking the pavement. It's not even paying attention to me. Never even looked up. So I sit there. Just staring at it in disbelief. Waiting to see how long it takes for it to notice me. After a good 30 seconds to a minute, it finally turns its head and looks at me. With those creepy red eyes. It sits there a couple seconds. Then it turns to the left and very calmly walks over to the curb and disappears into some drainage hole. Which I thought was creepy in itself. I'd hate to be living in that house, with some scary possum living under me somewhere. Sooo, yeah. On that note, I'm off. posted 8:23 PM / post / view (2) 12/7/2005 Very brief. Pride & Prejudice = best movie ever. Never left a theater so blissfully happy. As Lyndsey put it, we were reduced to "giggling puddles of girly goo." And somehow during that two hours, I messed up my back. Ow. posted 1:46 AM / post / view (4) 12/2/2005 Trivial Pursuit: Part II Q: How many lavatories are there on Air Force One? Jacob: Laboratories? Oh, lavatories. Uh... 267. A: Seven. (note: this wouldn't have been nearly as funny if he hadn't tried to defend his answer.) Q: What movie released in such and such year caused a large increase in sales of Mozart music? A: Amadeus. But for some reason, Kristin's and my first thought was Beethoven, the dog movie. And then we realized that was stupid. I have the best friends in the world. I love you guys and I miss having you constantly around! Tonight was great. :) |
