Here’s my newest annoyance: I just realized that in Neil Diamond’s version of “I Dreamed a Dream”* he changed the last line from “Now life has killed the dream I dreamed” to “But life can’t kill the dream I dreamed.” Which is NOT the same thing ( Read more... )

Or “My Awesome New Shirt: A Photo Entry”This morning, after playing Plants vs. Zombies for nearly three and a half days straight (excluding work and sleep), I decided it was best to take a break.

From this point on, my journal will be friends only.

And, unless I find some wireless to steal, I won' ( Read more... )

Great weekend couple of days. Key points:

Jared!

Jared gave me the last of my birthday present-a really pretty silver watch with crystals lining the face. :)It's a Small World situation: The dental assistant who cleaned my teeth at the dentist grew up in Springdale, graduated from SHS, started college at Hendrix and then transferred to the U of ( Read more... )
