anti-super bowl

No worries, I'll be posting photos of Saturday night as well. I just haven't had a chance to get to them.

I DO however, have 2 shots from the anti-super bowl party enjoyed by myself and (e:Jenks). We had a lovely spread of tasty treats while watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I love Meatwad!

start looking for a new car

Ok. It is never a good thing when you go to pick up your vehicle from inspection and the first thing out of your mechanic's mouth is, 'start looking for a new car'.

My poor little Aqua Mouse. So what if chunks of car fall off every time I touch it. So what if my battery is strapped on with a bungee cord. So what if I am missing hubcaps (and no (e:Jason), it is not the result of the Liverpool team!). So what if I have no shocks and every little bump feels like a pothole.

I have a sunroof and a cd player, who could ask for anything more? Oh right, a car that runs. Yah, so I mentioned it to my mom, only because I thought it was one of the funniest greetings I have ever gotten at the shop. She immediately offers for me to buy her car. I wonder why? I know she does not drive it much, but still. Can I get rid of Aqua Mouse for a Buick Regal?

It is not as if I can afford to buy a car, but at least my mom would take payments over time. It would cost more in gas, it would cost more in insurance, I would have to put in a stereo because her's is broken and I cannot live without it. It has power windows, locks, and a big trunk for stowing dead bodies. Hmmm...perhaps there are some benefits to this exchange after all.

No really. I knew I would need a new car, but I do have sentiment for the mouse. Wonder Woman had her invisible jet, Lady Croft has Aqua Mouse; I do not know if the Buick can achieve superhero status. Will it make me feel old? I cannot parallel park as it is, and this thing is much bigger than the mouse! Then I need to remember how much money I have sunk into Aqua Mouse over the past 2 years. It would probably be a financial gain to buy the Buick. Sigh....(Napoleon Dynamite style)

But one last reminder from your friendly neighborhood Spiderman:

tonight, 8pm. BE THERE!

super girl thong

I had a dream last night...I was wearing my Super Girl thong underwear and a tank top while sporting my super fly adidas sneakers. Apparently I didn't own a single pair of pants. I was just walking around through my day all la-di-da like. In my opinion, it was a bit drafty, but I probably flipped the covers off me during the night, and the above description is what I wore to bed. Whatever, it was just weird to be walking around in the Pink wearing it. Yes, all the epeeps were there!

work study

I just wanted to say out loud that I have the best work study EVER! Last semester, not so much. The word 'work' didn't even make it in the equation. But this semester, I have a new boy and he's just fabulous! When I delegate tasks he actually DOES them. Simply amazing. Ciao.

remember the future

I cannot believe it has been 20 years.

I remember sitting in my 5th grade classroom at Maryvale watching the launch live. When it exploded all the teachers ran out into the hallway to discuss, they didn't know what to do. All us kids just sat quietly in our seats; we didn't know what to do either. We were supposed to watch the launch and then get a lesson from the teacher in space, Christa McAuliffe.

The great space race is over and so many people don't pay any attention anymore. I find space exploration fascinating! I'm always wondering what's shakin in the galaxy and what not. Therefore, I got up early on the morning of February 1, 2003 to watch Columbia land.

I was not going to get a front row show because I was in Corpus Christi, but Texas channels were poised to give us the best re-entry viewing we could get. Sadly, instead of watching the bird glide in safely, it disintegrated in a shower of flame over the lone star state.

Did anyone read about this new planet

Maybe it's just the adventurer in me, but how fascinating! I mean there is so little that we know about our very own solar system, let alone our galaxy, let alone other galaxies! How I wish I could transcend the space/time continuum and visit other planets, see what they are really made of, what life exists in what form, new compounds, new elements...anything, everything! Ok, I really need to get some legitimate homework done. Ciao.

look at those weird people

(e:Jason) and I went to check out the Albright-Knox Art Gallery today because it says it's free after 3pm on Fridays. I can't remember the last time I was there, maybe I was 9? I didn't realize just how small the place was. It looks pretty sizable on the exterior but not so much inside. As I looked at some of the art though, I couldn't help but think some of it was just crap. No, I'm not an art snob. I really do appreciate art in so many forms and mediums; but nothing really moved me. Then we were looking at one piece and this guy totally snubbed us. He turned to his kids and said, "Look at those weird people looking at art". I was like, WTF??? I figured it must have been my hair. Some folks get so bent out of shape over fun hair.

So, we couldn't seem to read the map correctly and kept missing what we really wanted to see, the Chinese contemporary exhibit. Then we realized we missed a staircase, got excited that we had finally located it, only to find out it wasn't actually free and we had to buy a ticket. I thought, ok, maybe it's a few bucks for the special exhibit...not so much. More like $12. I was disappointed. (e:Jason) thought he might be able to charm the pants off the old ladies working the ticket counter, but we just gave up. We did get to the see the main hall though, which consisted of foam blocks creating the Great Wall, and these transparent tapestries hanging all around the room. I thought they were some kind of rice paper at first, but we discovered it was actually human hair.

And, I do enjoy being mean to Ajay. I give him some credit, he takes as good as he gives.

metalpeter writes at 05:47:00 01/21/06 - Comment #3808: Sorry you and Jason didn't get to see what you wanted to. I thought it was free but I saw an ad for a passport that gets you into all 3 sites. I havn't seen your hair in person but it looks great that guy can go fuck himself. All I remember about being there is the cool miror room with miror chairs and floor and a couple opitcal illusions that come out towards you. the thing with art is that it is verry, whats the word I'm looking for one person perspective. What people in the artworld look at as genius I go what the fuck is it. Abstract art makes no sense to me, You make a picture of something that is something else but dosn't look like etiher thing. Some art I love and some is like I could careless. Hope you at least had some fun.

salvatore writes at 12:41:45 01/21/06 - Comment #3796: "Look at those weird people..." that's funny! I love your hair, it's so neat. i dunno though, i like the albright quite a bit actually, maybe I just like the pretty colors!

jenks writes at 12:02:02 01/21/06 - Comment #3793: speaking of children's art... you may have seen it, it circulated a few years ago, but check out :::link::: It's mean, but very funny...

ajay writes at 11:38:18 01/21/06 - Comment #3791: The AK "free" admission thing is a scam.

I agree with you about some of the "art" in there. I've seen better stuff from kids.

robin writes at 01:17:46 01/21/06 - Comment #3785: Ub's gallery in the cfa has some Chinese contemporary art right now.

uncutsaniflush writes at 12:26:40 01/21/06 - Comment #3784: [code][oliver stone]

the way (e:jason) and (e:joshua) talk, one would think that "all libs" consider conservatives to be evil or is it just weird. I get so confused.

perhaps, y'all experienced one of (e:ajay)'s secret "all lib" agents trying to mind-fuck (e:jason) to punish him for being a conservative and not saying nice things about (e:ajay).

And you, (e:ladycroft) with the fun hair, sorry to deflate your ego, were just co-lateral damage in the culture war between the "all lib" and the "all con" political gangs.

the most productive human being

Ever have those days when you suddenly become the most productive human being to walk this rock? Of course you have! Today I had the privilege of being one of those human beings. Honestly, I think it's because my boss is gone on a trip and for once my phone wasn't ringing off the hook all day. For the first time in a long time I woke up entirely motivated to get things done. I scrubbed my bathroom from floor to ceiling and got up the shower curtain liner I'd been meaning to hang for ages. As a side note, I think I'm allergic to bleach. It causes a horrible reaction. I get near it and my eyes turn red and leak, my lungs seize up, I can't stop coughing and my nose starts running profusely.

Next I tackled the mountain of laundry on my floor. Granted, it had already been washed, but putting it away was a chore for which I cared not. So at last all the shirts are hanging together in the closet, socks all snuggled in the drawer. Then I changed my sheets. Hell yah! Who doesn't LOVE clean sheet day!? If you say you don't, you're a liar. Everyone loves clean sheet day. It's the best night's sleep you have in [insert frequency of your own sheet changing here]. Is there a greater comfort than the smell of fresh fluffy sheets to caress your body and cradle you to sleep? Well, maybe someone to snuggle with....mmmm.

Then I vacuumed my apartment and dusted every square inch of surface space. I put away the lingering holiday decorations, re-organized my storage bin, and organized all my drawers...[break into song and dance of your choice here]. Oh happy day!

You see, even the simple things of every day life mean something. If you can't take the time to enjoy something so small, yet so great, such as the splendor of clean sheet day, I pity you. It's taking time to enjoy these small elements of day to day life that make you feel alive! So keep posting estripers, this IS what it's all about.
