I can't believe Steve Irvin died. He was invincible wasn't he?? Aw.

I've been reading these books about a foresnsic anthropologist named Tempe Brennan that solves murder mysteries that are so good. They have really cheesy names, but I'm addicted to them and lucky I can find so many at used book stores. I've been thinking lately about how this should be made into a TV show.

I was looking at my cell phone and erasing old messages and not really paying attention and then I look in the mirror and I had one of these mullet like Carol Brady haircuts.

I feel like nature really doesn't give Indonesia too much of a chance. I just can't believe there ( Read more... )

I just finished giving my last final!!!! Wahoooooooooooo!! I mean I still have to grade them and all, but they were mainly multiple choice, True false, and some short answers so I should be okay. Finishing the class was so anti-climaxtic and after I just kinda walked away to the internet. I mean I'll see the students later so I guess it's not ( Read more... )
