i realize few people read this anymore, but...

2010-03-21T17:21:00.000-07:00

this is the coolest awareness video i have ever seen! the entire med center, from lunch ladies to janitors to OR surgeons, got on pink gloves and danced for breast cancer awareness!

APPALACHIA

2010-03-05T13:09:00.000-08:00

for the last time... i can't believe i'm a senior! be back 3/13...

soooo...

2010-03-02T09:50:00.001-08:00

i definitely didn't finish... but instead of having only 8.5 finished, i have 8.5 to go... definitely an improvement! and since i didn't finish, i got to shoot the roll of film i just developed! which was the first one i did on my own! prints will be next... can't wait!

soooo...

2010-02-28T12:00:00.000-08:00

i'm not going to finish the knitting for the knitting oplympics... i decided sleep and schoolwork take precedence! I will make it close though- i only have 8 and a hal squares left and hope to only have 4 left by the end of the day... it was just too much time consuming work and my schedule of course got really busy right when i started! i did however procrastinate slightly, though i think i still would not have made it anyway...

i have...

2010-02-27T13:35:00.000-08:00

10 more squares to go... which is about 12 hours worth of work left... and i have a total of about 31 hours before my deadline... i am going to MAKE IT! yay! i'll do a couple more squares tonight and then most of my homework and then i'll finish the squares tomorrow!

i might as well kill myself now...

2010-02-22T22:42:00.000-08:00

i had a total of 49 squares to knit. to the date of the start of the knitting olympics i had 7. to now i have 19. i have 30 more squares to knit by this sunday. and classes. and my job. and parties for my friends. and homework. and getting my eyebrow done. and my hands and back really hurt now. ugh. BUT I WILL FINISH ON TIME IF IT KILLS ME! in reality things will start speeding up when i get to the garter stitch... two more stockinette and that's done!

Sooooo...

2010-02-12T17:41:00.000-08:00

i've entered the yarn olympics on the yarn harlot website. i am going to complete the baby blanket that i started a year ago with my sister for our nephew, who is now almost 14 months. the olympics stretches from today, february 12, to february 28, 17 days from now. i had 7 squares of 49 completed, leaving 42 to go. i just completed another, leaving 41. i will keep track of my progress on this website. this is less a test of my skill and more a test of my stimina- that's a lot of knitting. however, to get in the spirit, LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

the way you know that

2010-02-12T09:11:00.001-08:00

so it turns out sugar

2009-06-25T14:21:00.001-07:00

so it turns out sugar doesn't cause hyperactivity in kids... also just in, black is blue, up is down...

sadly...

2009-04-07T23:56:00.000-07:00

i am just about to leave for my last final... which means i am about to leave the house and the country as a student in this program for the last time... sad, very sasd i know, but i am excited to see the family and friends when i get home!

i have...

2009-04-07T18:11:00.001-07:00

less than 24 hours left in this country and it is a really depressing concept... one more final and then i run off to go catch a plane home! but i am still glad i did this- i made friends and enemies and have had a good craic... now that i know what that means...

this...

2009-04-07T07:17:00.001-07:00

is my last night staying in notting hill with my program. after this i go home tomorrow and my semester here is over. i am really going to miss it and i am extremely sad to leave, though i don't have any regrets and i know i packed a lot into this last three months. what traveling to other countries i did was awesome and i got to see a lot of london and a lot of england... i can't say i have anything that i didn't like or didn't get to do that i really wanted to! tonight i have a last dinner with my program and then i go on the london eye- a fitting end to a great time. i am going to miss it here. goodbye 21 pembridge gardens, see you soon 741 school line drive! see you guys soon!

three days...

2009-04-05T06:06:00.000-07:00

is all i have left. there is an air of solemn melancholy over the house- everyone is trying to have a great last weekend but we all know it has to end... very sad... but it has been a great run and i have gotten to go to an amazing amount of things in london, mostly thanks to the parents and the family, and i have traveled as lot! amsterdam, bruges, calais, scotland, dublin, madrid, portsmouth, hampton court, northampton... and more i am sure... everything was totally worth it and i only regret i don't have more time to stay!

so SAD...

2009-04-03T03:31:00.000-07:00

i am going home... in 5 days... this is NOT OK! i mean i love my family and friends, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I DON'T WANNA LEAVE! NOOOOO! but at least i get to do some more sightseeing this weekend... i am going to hampton court today and possibly the London Eye later or the Absolut Ice Bar... or both WHO KNOWS! I STILL DON'T WANNA LEAVE!

PICTURES YAY!

2009-03-30T05:08:00.000-07:00

so the pictures from Dublin and Madrid are up and in sets so they are viewable. the ones from Portsmouth won't get developed until i get home, so those may be a bit...

Dublin and Madrid!

2009-03-22T14:05:00.000-07:00

Dublin was amazing. i took a walking tour of the city, went to guiness and took pictures of Rainsford street, took a tour of the wicklow mountains, partied it up in Temple Bar, wandered around Dublin, went to see the Book of Kells, and went to Jameson! all in three days!

Then this weekend i went to beautiful, amazing Madrid. I went to the Plaza de Espana, saw much of the Parque del Retiro, wandered around the city and saw El Cortes Ingles, the crazy huge department store, went to the Palacio Real, saw the Cathedral of Madrid, saw the Museo Reina Sofia, a great little modern art museum, and generally wandered around the city taking in the beauty.

pictures of both will be up as soon as i can cajole the internet here to load them to flickr. they were both amazing! i want to go back!

also, i officially have housing for next year! i realize this may not sound as exciting, but as i forgot to give my roommate for next year my ID number so she could register on thursday and we were saved from crappy housing only by the fact that i had an early flight and we were able to remedy this early today- thanks to kait's quick searching and registration. so it's a bit of a big deal! and it's exciting that i get to be in Merion Gardens this year so i get air conditioning! yay!

again, pics up soon.

DUBLIN!

2009-03-12T07:03:00.000-07:00

in about 8 hours i will be in dublin, ireland!

and now for something completely different...

2009-03-10T14:17:00.000-07:00

in two days i go to DUBLIN! for three days! life continues to suck, things continue to happen... :) <3 cheers!

ADVENTURE WEEKEND...

2009-03-09T16:22:00.001-07:00

was awesome! we were on the irish sea near Llandudno in a place called Snowden. We stayed in a gorgeous hotel and were served for every meal. and i got to go abseiling and rock climbing. we went, we climbed, we partied it up, and then we went home! pictures are up. sadly, i haven't gotten the portsmouth pictures developed yet, but soon they will be up!

PORTSMOUTH...

2009-03-02T10:48:00.000-08:00

was awesome! i wen there this past friday and had a great time. the actual docklands were very dead- in some places i was the only person visiting! but i went aboard tha Victory, which was SO COOL, saw the remains of the Mary Rose and the accompanying museum, took a tour of what it was like to be a dockyard apprentice, went into the entirety of the Naval museum, saw the Victory's Trafalgar sail, and went aboard the Warrior. it was so cool! so worth waking up the next day feeling like a truck hit me! i forgot my camera though and had to buy two disposables, so i have to get those developed and then the pics will be up, it will just take longer than usual.

FINALLY...

2009-02-26T07:45:00.000-08:00

there are more photos up on flickr. sorry- as you guys will see, i have been too busy doing things to put up pics. I have been so many places and there are more pics on my camera still- don't worry, it won't take me so long this time. i will put them up after i go to portsmouth and see the VICTORY tomorrow! it's going to be so much fun!

eventually...

2009-02-18T06:56:00.000-08:00

there will be more photos up on flickr... i have been to stratford, warwick castle, greenwich- yes i took the ferry, the imperial war museum- james bond was great but i couldn't take pictures, ely, cambridge, and other places, but the internet literally goes down three times a day at my house at the moment, so it may be a while before that happens. oh and i have also been to the tower of london. eventually there will be pictures. really i swear.

gees...

2009-02-02T11:54:00.000-08:00

there are 6-8 inches of snow outside... in LONDON... half the city shut down, including our school, and the roads and sidewalks are a mess! i think this is like the biggest snowstorm here in the past 20 years... last night myself and a few people from my house started a snowball fight with the people down the street who go to imperial college- it was awesome! good times in london! and we watched the superbowl, but sadly they don't show the commercials here! we were all so mad! but it was good anyway...

so yeah...

2009-02-01T15:43:00.000-08:00

clogs and cheese in amsterdam, chocolate, beer, fries, and waffles in bruges, all over london, all of scotland (loch ness to edinburgh)... i just realized something... my life SUCKS! and i am now watching the superbowl at like midnight in the ridiculously crowded common room in my house while there is snow coming down and there is like 2 inches of snow outside already... AWESOME!

YAY!

2009-01-20T16:09:00.000-08:00

i went to a local pub to watch the swearing in of our 44th president! it was insane and amazing!

EUROPE!

2009-01-18T13:08:00.000-08:00

i start my non-UK european excursions this weekend! i have just booked a travel tour to Amsterdam and Bruges! and after the ridiculously bad weekend i just spent in northampton, i think it's going to be awesome!

pictures...

2009-01-06T08:10:00.000-08:00

of tower bridge and madame tousseaud's should be up rather soon- i'm afraid i've got to figure out where my camera cable is so... ubt they will be up soon

to all those who it may concern...

2009-01-04T11:57:00.001-08:00

namely witty since she's been complaining viz facebook message... the current website for my flickr page is:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/33728672@N07/sets/
so if you want to see photos of christmas, which is all that's currently up as i have not yet had time to take pictures much yet, WITTY, go ahead... for everyone else, i should have them up by friday...

it's so weird...

2009-01-02T10:25:00.000-08:00

that i live two doors down from stella mccartney... so weird...

LONDON!

2009-01-01T08:29:00.001-08:00

i have officially arrived in london, england! my plane got in about 7 hours ago and unfortunately i gave in to temptation and took a huge nap- but i would rather be social than dead... anyhoodle, it's great here! i haven't explored much but it's awesome!

LONDON!

2008-12-28T14:59:00.000-08:00

in three(3) days i leave for a semester abroad in London England! i am living in Notting Hill and going to Birkbeck College, a division of the University of London! I can't wai to leave... my family went together to get me a new digital camera, so i will be opening a flickr account for you guys to see where i have been! Europe, here I come!

i'm confused...

2008-11-10T13:58:00.000-08:00

because when a crew coach says see you at practice monday and you expect everyone to be waiting for the crew bus at the school fieldhouse like always and no one is there and there is no email telling you to be somewhere else, you would be confused too... i mean i know we are moving inside but a little notice would have been nice... on a better note- I AM GOING TO LONDON NEXT SEMESTER! i finally got my official acceptance- which by the way for all of you who were like yeah whatever we already knew you were going to get in, is a big freaking deal! also, the letters were all like three weeks late for the whole program because the london contact who usually deals with the US program administrator was on sabbatical so someone else had to do it... BUT I AM GOING TO LONDON FOR LIKE FOUR MONTHS! AND I LEAVE IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS! OH MY GOD THIS IS SO AWESOME!

elections and memories...

2008-11-06T12:11:00.000-08:00

i will remember november 4, 2008 for many reasons... we elected Barack Hussein Obama president of the united states for one...and my sister took a picture of her daughter, almost 10 months, with an "I VOTED" sticker on her forehead... i swear, that child has more pictures that could be submitted to "stuff on my kid"... she's gonna be traumatized forever...

YES WE DID!

2008-11-05T08:26:00.000-08:00

i am proud that we elected barack obama persident-elect of the united states of america... change is coming! yay!

VOTE!

2008-11-03T18:56:00.000-08:00

ok, i don't care whether you are for obama/biden or mccain/palin, but go out and VOTE tomorrow! I don't know if there will be an election that is as critical as this one again in my lifetime and it is so important for people to get out and vote!

six flags and navy day...

2008-10-09T20:10:00.000-07:00

so tomorrow i am going to six flags... FOR FREE! somehow my school is sponsoring this so all we had to do was put in a deposit, which we will get back... it is going to be so much fun! and then saturday is the navy day regatta! which will also be awesome because our boats have been improving exponentially since the last race and also this time we will have three freshmen boats instead of just one- and i get to race again! then i will sleep all day sunday having gotten no sleep all the rest of the weekend...

just can't do it...

2008-09-30T11:58:00.000-07:00

i can not get my life to take on a pattern and a routine... every time i try- like quitting my two jobs that took all my time and getting a new, more flexible one- something else comes up! anyone got any suggestions? i realize this is a weird question...

today...

2008-09-27T11:14:00.000-07:00

since 7 AM i have walked the two miles to campus, driven to baltimore with the crew team, helped rig two boats, rowed about ten miles, derigged a boat, driven back to philly, helped rig and carry four boats, and gotten back to my apartment.... with ten monster blisters... and now i am going to college day on the parkway... ugh...

rowing... again...

2008-09-11T16:49:00.000-07:00

is kicking my ass... though i do have the strongest stroke of the novices...

rowing....

2008-09-09T16:13:00.000-07:00

so i decided i wanted to do something new this year- last semester i had way too much time on my hands and i got bored a lot... i was thinking about cap and bells, our school theater society, when i saw a poster for rowing.... which sounded cool, so i am going out for rowing- which is a lot harder to do properly than it looks... i should feel the erg in my legs, but i feel it in my back... i should be steady on the machine but i am constantly in danger of throwing myself off the end... you'd think rafting and kayaking would prepare me more for this, but its way hard... tomorrow i get on the water for the first time and hopefully i will be able to coordinate the whole thing better... but its way fun! even if i am the oldest novice...

school...

2008-09-03T17:01:00.001-07:00

i am officially back at school and all moved in! i have a whole apartment to myself, provided by wonderful college... and now i have finally started classes... YAY!

one is disturbed...

2008-06-19T12:08:00.001-07:00

because i just learned that the video for Metro Station's Song "Shake It" was based on the movie the warriors... which is just weird considering that was a weirdly trippy movie from like the 1970s about a group of greek warriors trying to get home across enemy territories- which in itself is fine, except for the fact that each group of warriors- friend and foe alike- are represented by gangs, each of which has a theme, like baseball and scottish... so it is very disturbing to hear that anyone other than me has actually heard, let alone watched the stupid movie...

so cool...

2008-04-15T13:35:00.000-07:00

so SWMBO and the cuteness went to see YarnHarlot when she visited Minnesota... And they got their picture on YarnHarlot's blog! and, doubleplusbonus, the blanket i made for the cuteness made it in the picture too! so very cool...
here is the link:

the picture is a little way down under "Kate and Veronica"

ummm...

2008-04-07T08:28:00.001-07:00

when is mother's day?

things that annoy me...

2008-04-01T13:29:00.000-07:00

teachers who insinuate at every turn that you are stupid because the school that you go to isn't as expensive as some others and because one kid's friend goes to one of the said more expensive schools has a little more work one semester and the kid's schedule is easy because he is a business major... makes the day wonderful i can tell you!

On another note, people from our school have gone into every profession and are in every branch of the government... we are also one of the oldest schools in the area... so no, just because we aren't (insert expensive school name) doesn't mean that we will get passed over for oppurtunities or that our courseload is any less weighty... actually, our school has a much more rigorous curriculum than most other schools... argh...

OMG THE CUTENESS!

2008-04-01T13:18:00.000-07:00

so a couple of weeks ago i visited my sister and brother-in-law who live in minnesota and have recently had a baby girl... the CUTEST LITTLE BABY IN THE WORLD! she is just so adorable and happy and fascinated by absolutely everything! even when she fusses or cries it is quieter than most other babies! wow, that is a lot of exclamation points... i also visited so i could give the little one the blanket i had been working on for months (mostly because i am in college and there were big blocks of time when i couldn't work on it) which, according to my sister, she seems to really like... according to my sister it is a "magic blanket" which keeps the little person asleep longer... but she is just so cute and absolutely loves to smile! and double plus bonus, they asked me to be her godmother! yay! apparently i said yes so fast they thought i had heard them over the baby monitor... it was such a great trip! though i am sure they were unhappy when it snowed like 8 inches...

APPALACHIA!

2008-03-12T14:28:00.000-07:00

so i went on a spring break alternative last week- a week-long combination of service and a lot of goofing off... my groups was great and most of the people were fantastic! i can't wait to see them all again this weekend!

bad name of the day...

2008-03-11T13:23:00.001-07:00

isaac cox...

most busy i think i have ever been...

2008-02-27T15:34:00.000-08:00

i do not think that i have evr been as busy as i have been/am going to be lately... two weeks ago i went skiing, last week i had a test, this week i had a test and then this weekend i leave for a service trip my school runs, then i come back, write a paper, have a test, have a movie night, do the annual easter egg hunt with the fam, then go on a three day trip to visit my niece, then come back home for easter... then attempt to catch up on homework/ actually sleep at all... ugg...

acting... maybe...

2008-02-27T15:07:00.000-08:00

i am thinking about going out for a play next semester... but am a wuss so i need to convince myself to do it... argh...

must i say this again?

2008-02-26T13:27:00.000-08:00

ok, for the last time... LEGGINGS DO NOT EQUAL PANTS! really, they do look silly... yes your butt looks big... no, you can only wear them under dresses that are actually dresses... oh just STEP AWAY from the damn leggings! sadly, there is an even more disturbing trend going around my campus- wearing opaque tights as pants with a long-ish shirt... which is just so disturbing and wrong... because they look even worse than the leggings...

apparently pennsylvania is an international border now...

2008-02-21T14:02:00.000-08:00

so i am on the shuttle on my way to class and as we pull into the parking lot where we are to be let off, we pass a US customs vehicle parked on campus... so apparently my school is now an international border...

and, since i am in the mood to rant, i will... i work at a place where we call phone numbers to determine whether they are businesses or residences and in doing that i have ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL over what number i dial... we have a random number generator... so people who i call, please do not ask what number i dialed- because i have NO IDEA! keep your stupid questions to yourself along with that annoyed-patronizing tone of voice! if i could screen you i would!

end rant...that is all...

AWESOMENESS!

2008-02-06T13:34:00.000-08:00

um, so gofugyourself.com now has a store, which is awesome in and of itself, but in that store they have a shirt full of awesomeness... it is a dark blue background and all it says in "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN"...

confusion...

2008-02-06T13:23:00.000-08:00

where did the phrase "pie in the sky" come from? it has always seemed weird to me...

WE BEAT NOVA!

2008-02-05T13:06:00.000-08:00

last night was the holy war, the basketball game between my university, St. Joseph's University, and our big rivals, Villanova University... AND WE TOTALLY TROUNCED THEM! the final score was 77-55 and SJU never trailed nova, not even once... it was one of the most awesome games i have ever been to, especially because the Palestra was packed to the gills- primarily with SJU supporters... nova's cheering section was pathetic compared to the couple thousand SJU supporters... it was an amazing game...

amusement...

i am kind of amused that since my sister had her baby, while she obviously has not had time to post, everyone else except matter eater lad has just stopped dead posting... all the people in our fam that is... just thought that was odd...

on a related note, my niece is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! i keep going on my sister's flickr account and checking for pistures, which are of course not appearing fast enough, but since that couldn't possibly happen, i have no one to blame but myself and my own damn impatience...

new tiny person!

2008-01-18T12:28:00.000-08:00

i am happy to announce that i am officially an aunt to a beautiful baby girl- my sister had her baby today! yay!

avoid any and all yellow snow...

2008-01-17T16:06:00.000-08:00

so, the salt or whatever that my university puts down in the parking lots and sidewalks somehow turns snow yellow... that is just gross...

weird things

2008-01-16T13:05:00.000-08:00

many weird things tend to happen in the beginning of a new semester before you get into a routine... but in the last 24 hours i have seen/experienced two of the weirder ones i have ever heard of, though one might seem quite mundane... i was getting ready to go to bed last night when there was a small knock on my door, which means it is my RA wanting something... i open the door and she looks at me sheepishly and says what she is about to ask will seem random and strange but she had to ask every girl in fairness... then she asked me if i had brought back a cat to my apartment when i came back from the holidays... a CAT of all things... then today when i was getting ripped off for $200 on a single computer program (bitter much?), i was in line and looking at some of the still half empty shelves, one of which contained what looked like jelly beans... i looked closer and discovered that they were called "Sports Beans" which is weird in and of itself, but i looked at the description of said product and discovered that they were fluorescent colored energy jelly beans for use when exercising or doing sports... and these two bunches of jelly beans were the only thing on the one rack... very strange...

it is finals week here at SJU, and while f*** i never actually learned s*** doesn't really apply to me since i actually did learn, finals are still the DEVIL!!!

christmas shopping...

2007-11-28T12:37:00.001-08:00

so, any of the family who read my blog, what on earth do you want for christmas? on he other side, i really want a really nice digital camera, but since i do not expect anyone to get one for me since mom and dad already bought my big gift... but whatever...

leggings do not eauql pants... however strongly you are tempted to wear them thusly, they are still not pants... yes, they do make your butt look big if you weigh more than 1 pound, which means practically everyone... no, they aren't pants... under a sweater dress, they are fine... but not as pants... that is all...

SEARCH retreat...

2007-10-30T09:41:00.000-07:00

so i went on my school's SEARCH retreat this past weekend... and it was quite awesome... can't even describe how much fun i had and i would suggest it to anyone who goes to SJU to go on it before you graduate because it is totally worth it...

funny things...that are very wrong...

2007-10-03T12:12:00.000-07:00

so i saw something today that struck me as amazingly funny... which probably shouldn't have been funny at all in any way... and is probably very anti-something-or-other... but today i saw an orthodox jewish boy (my school is very close to a large jewish neighborhood, so this is not funny in and of itself) you know, with the dress shrt, slacks, and yamalka... on roller skates... i have no idea why this was funny to me, it just struck me as amusing. it is not even unusual, since the boy was probably 10 or 12... it was just funny today to see it...

iTunes vs. limewire

2007-09-30T11:37:00.000-07:00

ok ok, i know i haven't been posting at all recently, but my schedule has been insane! and it is hard to think of things to write on a regular basis... but his one i really do want opinions on...
a lot of my friends and i have talked about this... is it better to use iTunes or limewire to download music? i don't mind using itunes even though i have to pay because i feel really weird using limewire, more because i know a bunch of people who had computer problems with limewire than because i don't like to skirt paying for my songs... but which one is better? getting the songs for free with possible viruses or paying for them and having a safe computer? also, is it better to pay for music than to not pay for it? any thoughts?

so, when you go out in a kayak on a lake in august or early september at midday for two hours and you do not wear sunscreen... YOU WILL GET REALLY BAD SUNBURN... i learned this the hard way... owowowOWow... that is all...

School...

2007-08-29T15:30:00.000-07:00

so coming back to school has been... interesting... i am thoroughly enjoying NOT being a freshman anymore and i have a very nice apartment that i love... and i love my roommate... and my classes are pretty awesome... and i am pretty content and i think i have been settling in pretty well... so life is good...

vika, stop posting

2007-08-27T16:45:00.000-07:00

2007-07-06T12:28:00.002-07:00

just checking in! ऎंड तेल्लिंग मय फोर्मेर रूम्माते तो गो फुक हेर्सेल्फ़! and apparently using punctuation! well, i am not dead, i just have not been able to post because between work, helping with my sister's wedding and shower, and the amazing slowness of my parents' dial-up, i simply have not had time... but fun things soon! only a week and a day til vika's wedding! yay! well more after the wedding, hopefully with some pix...

wisdom teeth...

2007-05-17T18:16:00.000-07:00

well, the last post was apparently not my last for a while, though this may be as i start work next week... i got my wisdom teeth out on monday and while i hurt A LOT they are healing quite nicely... BUT THEY HURT! i guess it is all for though best though, right? right?

last post for a while...

2007-05-04T12:30:00.000-07:00

this may be my last post for a while as school is almost over and my fast internet connection will be history tomorrow and i am not patient enough to brave my parents' dial-up very often... on the upside though i now no longer have to deal with my belligerent and often drunken roommate and never will have to do so ever again! yay! freedom!

leaving...

2007-05-04T09:24:00.000-07:00

so, it is amazing how depressing it is that school is ending, i mean actual school, not just people going home for the summer! i will miss everyone!

2007-04-24T10:30:00.000-07:00

so i have discovered, though not recently, that college class registration is absolutely ridiculous and the only thing that comes close is trying to register for housing... and i thought it was just annoying, until today... when i was trying to register for my Research Methods course in my psyche core, the system kept telling me that there was a prerequisite error, even though you are allowed to the the intro to psyche class, the supposed prerequisite, alongside said course. in order to get the error overridden, i had to go to the psyche department and go through a million steps in order to be able to register. it took me half an hour. THAT IS RETARDED! i was told that i should take the class, which should have signaled to SOMEONE that the prereq hold should have been taken off, but no, i ended up with a crappy-er class time than i would have had if i could have gotten through before... so stupid...

if you weigh more than five pounds and are wearing a skirt that creates even the smallest "muffin-top", do not, i repeat, DO NOT wear a belt outside of your shirt along the waist band of your skirt... it will make you look ginormous...

spring concert

2007-04-19T20:59:00.000-07:00

We remember...

My heart goes out to the families and friends of those killed at Virginia Tech and everyone at the school that now is in mourning. While most news is covering who the shooter was, i am glad to see that some newspapers, such as the New York Times, have the wherewithal to report on the victims. may they find some kind of peace.
