Marc kidnapped me this weekend and took me home. I think this pic sums up everything!

My List

My Must Watch TV movie list just got a little longer.

I realized, after 3 viewings of both, BEACHES and WORKING GIRL have to be added to the list. Thanks to my limmited channels, and these two movies frequenting WE network, i have become hooked.

Tell me i am crazy!

Seriously??

So Freed has reached a new low. UPC, our actvities board, is now sponsoring Speed Dating.


Yea, I can't believe it either.

For My Sister

For my codependent sister, whom I love. I am on the right and she is on the left.

Love You Amy!

the little things in life

my towels smell like granny and poppie's house. this is odd because i haven't been there since may, a travesty. i like it. it made my night just a hint better.

Pets and movies don't mix!

Mom and I saw Snakes on a Plane before I came back to school. I LOVED it. It will not be nominated for any award ever, but oh well. I had fun at the movies for once, so there Holly & Hollywood!
I was working on a paper tonight, and my friend Megan was in my room watching tv. It just happened that she was watching Mars Attacks!

These two movies are proof that pets should never be in movies. They will always be run over, eaten, terrorized, or otherwise destroyed. These poor pets can barely make it through the opening credits. The screen writers typically give us a chance at least to try and hate the little yippy dogs, but I still get attached.
For instance, In Snakes, the Chihuahua named Mary-Kate was fed to the python to save the jerk, who later died. In Mars Attacks!, the Chihuahua is decapitated and Sarah Jessica Parker's head is put on in its place. Nothing lived through Dante's Peak, and even my Latin 3 text book killed the dog in the 3rd chapter.

I guess it is difficult to run from snakes, fight aliens, and flee from lava and ash with something you have to carry.

Aeri-woes

I cannot wait for a city with public transportation! Even with all its faults, it is better than driving. Case in point: My Past week as a driver.

Monday, July 17, 2006: I was pulling out of a parking space, and a car, that had passed me, backed into me. Confused? Clarification: While backing out of a parking space, I was rear-ended/ side-swiped.
Friday, July 21, 2006: Took a 3/4 of a day off of work to attend to the car. Included: Tire rotation and purchase of two new tires, an unplanned purchase. A trip to the Dealer for an air conditioner fix, Just two weeks they had "fixed it" the first time. They got it working, but not to my satisfaction, I would have to come back for a third time in two and a half weeks.
(The man who helped me looked exasperated when I was through with him. I was not happy, as I was hot, because in the hottest week of the year, my air wasn't working, and I was missing out on $8/hour every time I had to see these people again.)
Continued on to Price's collision center. A quality experience filled with charming mechanics.
Saturday, July 22, 2006: First day of vacation. Lovely trip down to Brunswick, Georgia. All was going so well until my cousin rear-ended me, compressing everything, to a foot behind the back window, but everything is still drivable. My cousin was driving her mothers new Chevy Equinox. The entire front end came off. Everything is cheap and plastic. Ecclesiasties is making a lot more sense nowadays.


I hope you now see my disdain for private transportation as it is expensive and time consuming.

Working 9 to 5

I work. I work at an online christian university. It's big in Africa. We have over 2,000 students (more than Freed) in more than 105 countries. I like my job. I answer phones, grade exams, take tests, and whatever else needs to be done. It isn't difficult. The only slightly challenging part is trying to work slower.
I work with some characters. More on them in later posts (when i am not blogging from my desk!)
I took my first international phone call on monday. it was cool. the man on the other end of the phone was in Ghana. That is on the bottom of western africa.
I also get to work with students and proctors in Nigeria, Kenya, Camaroon, Niger, China, the United States Prison system, and South Africa.
to close, I love my job. it is great, and you all will come to know and love it too.

Addiction

I have a new addiction. I am addicted to designing shirts, shot glasses, tote bags, etc. On CustomInk.com. You can choose the item you would like to personalize, the color, the fonts, the layout, everything. I love it. So far, I have made a track jacket, and two shirts for my club, a shirt for my extended family reunion, and a shot glass. If you need anything made or have a silly idea you wouldn't mind seeing, let me know. I am up to the challenge.

This is my current favorite underrated movie. It is hilarious. The creatures are marvelously odd and a little creepy.
give me your favorite underrated movies of the moment.

So this is my new peice. i haven't named it yet. it was supposed to be surrealist. keep in mind, it looks better in person. tell me what you think.

Congrats

Congrats to my beautiful sister on making agent! We always knew you would make it! Congrats to all my college and high school homies who will graduate.

:(

I am sad. i feel alone. I feel beaten. i feel sick. I feel self-centered. i need a hug.

Lets Givem' Something to Blog About

I have nothing really to blog about. I am between paintings. I am happy, so i can't rant. I am devoid of postable events. Which
leads me to: What makes something Bloggable?
One man runs a MySpace for his dog. Some have blogs where they simply post links news stories. Others are temporary, to chronicle a specific event.
Is there any Unbloggable terain?

Fairy Tales

Seven Reasons Snow White is my favorite Disney Princess:

1. She prays.
2. You cannot beat the original.
3. First Sopranos are the best
4. She proves wishing wells work.
5. Her prince is the cutest.
6. She gets to sleep and be awoken with a kiss (the best way).
7. She is treated well by seven cool guys.

Art

Break: Break, Break-up, and Teeth

So Christmas break went pretty well. I really enjoyed being home, and the journey I took to get there. I did break-up with Jeremy over the break. I wasn't being fair to him. Everything is okay now, and we are going to be friends. I did get my wisdom teeth cut out. Above are three pictures: one of me before i got my teeth out, one after, while i was swollen, and one after a week and a half. Love to all.

Midgee Cows!

Dad, the great wise man that he is, read an article in the paper about Miniature Cattle. (!!!!!!!!!!!How Cool!!!!!!!!!!) They are about 30-40 inches tall, whereas normal cattle run about 48 inches. They only require one acre of land to live on. Dad was talking like he was about to buy the calf then. They run about 6,000 Dollars, though. I would rather have a car. Oh well. Just one more cool animal on my fictional farm.
