I'm making the switch. Let me know what you think of the new place. If it turns out not very well, perhaps I'll end up coming back here. Anyway. There it is.

Mom and I just watched the Glenn Miller Story, starring none other than the amazing and wonderful Jimmy Stewart. I love him. Anyway, it's a good movie. Watching the movies Mom gets off of the blockbuster version of netflicks usually always results in a satisfactory viewing experience. Last week we watched The Thin Man, which is like a comedy ( Read more... )

So, Tom and I were watching the Price is Right, and he was saying something about wishing he could see the reactions of the people right as their names are called to "come on down!" I told him about when the Glee Club went to the Price is Right over Spring Break, I believe it was, because they were on tour in California. Anyway, in that episode, ( Read more... )

I just went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face and whatnot before going to bed, and Blakie went in with me, and at one point she decided to jump into the tub which was out of sight due to the shower curtain being pulled shut as it normally is. A few minutes later, I realized she was still in there. Hoping I wouldn't pull back the ( Read more... )

I just got this...craving, so to speak, of being up late at night (or waking up early in the morning?) on a cold snowy December day. Perhaps Christmas. But there's just something unspeakably wonderful about that cool crispness and comfort that only happens during the (pre, I guess) Christmas season, and when it's early in the morning before the sun ( Read more... )

7 tickets to a Sunday afternoon Sky Sox baseball game (at military discount): $30 or something ( Read more... )

So, I just read an article about how the new restrictions for airline passengers might be "here to stay" for awhile, and it said something about lipstick. That was the first time I realized that I can't take chapstick on a freaking plane anymore! I'm ADDICTED to my chapstick. I can't go more than a couple hours without putting more on. I absolutely ( Read more... )

Teacher: Class, it's an interesting linguistic fact that, in English, a double negative forms a positive. In some languages though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language in which a double positive can form a negative.

Student: Yeah, right.

For some reason, I was reminded tonight of Roald Dahl, which reminded me of The BFG. Did any of you read that? We read it in class in 5th grade, one of the ones we read out loud a portion each day. I don't remember too well what other books we read (perhaps A Wrinkle in Time, maybe?) but I remember that one. I should read it again sometimes. Good ( Read more... )

1)How old do you wish you were?
eleventy-one years old. Ok maybe that's not true.

2) Where were you when 9/11 happened?
On my way to/at school. Sophomore year. First heard about it second period, when no one really knew what all had happened yet, but we were unable to watch any TV about it (which annoyed me), and then third period I heard more ( ( Read more... )
