You wanted a picture of snow on trees (e:julie)... well here it is. you miss it? You should bc snow is sooo pretty and so much fun! :-) That is except for the fact that it made me a half hour late to my first class... oops. who needs to learn about data structures anyways haha. ENJOY!

I just want to thank you (e:ajay) for helping me out and giving me the link to download The OC. I don't know how you did it but thank you a billion times! It was one of the best episodes of the season.

Since everyone knows I like to add in pictures, here is one:



This is a happy me in front of the computer downloading the episode when I found (e:ajay) was going to help me out.

Thanks again!

Wanted: Anyone who knows how to dowload past tv episodes from the internet!

Please if anyone knows what sites to go to get past tv episodes could you please please please please let me know! did i say please? I'll make it up to you somehow. just let me know if you do. I know people can do it and i did some internet searches to try and find out how, but i had no luck. i think some people use something called BitTorrent so i downloaded it and then couldn't find out what sites to go to to get the epiodes. So if you know please let me know. i worked last night and missed the OC because my tape didn't work, and i guess it was really really good. All i want to do it find it online, download it and watch it.

Pretty Please :-) Anyone?

So.... i've never been tanning before. Never really found the need or thought it was that good to do. But we are going to Florida in a month and are going to be out in the sun for basically the whole day for two weeks doing research, so i thought i'd get a little bit of a tan so that maybe i wouldn't burn out there...and everyone knows i don't want a repeat of my last Florida trip burning. blisters hurt!!!

Anyways, it was ok. I went with Katrina. A little scary to go in the coffin like thing, but the standing up ones looked so small. I didn't know how clean it was though laying on that thing so that kinda freaked me out a bit. I heard before someone got some sort of bugs from laying on them. yikes!

ok well at least i tried it. it seems so many people go regularly. like at work during people's lunch breaks i hear them saying they are going tanning. that seems so crazy. but maybe its not. it doesn't take long and i didn't burn, so who knows. we'll see if i make it back...

Ok so I think I'll write about Friday even though i know I'm a bit late and its Sunday already. Friday was a good day. First, Walaboo, or (e:mike), and I went to one of my favorite places for lunch. It was formerly called the Juicery, but i think now they switched the name to Sue's New York Deli. It's like inside Shea's and has tons of vegetarian sandwich options and is really good. everyone should check it out. I recommend the Super veggie with that oh so scrumcious miso dressing. Even Walaboo is hooked and he's not even a vegetarian :-) Although getting there on the subway is always an adventure...haha those crazy underground things. Just like in the matrix! who would of thought they really existed! Thanks to Walaboo i know now. haha. i'm sure that sounds crazy because im sure everyone reading this has taken them before. oh well.

So then we decided to go to bingo before going out at night. Now i've maybe been to bingo like at most 5 times in my whole life and have never found it that exciting....but every once and a while it is fun. Although, usually half way through I end up wishing i didn't buy so many boards It seems they always call the numbers too fast for me and it gets tiresome starring at all those numbers for like 3 hours. I know, i know i'm going to be a terrible old person. But maybe Ill take up shuffle board. who knows. there must be more than bingo!

Ok well walaboo in his expertise could handle playing six boards in bingo as well as checking my boards and finding called numbers that i had missed. Thanks walaboo!!! I don't think i ever have gone to bingo and expected to win. I almost am sure i couldn't yell out bingo even if i did. and i really never thought i would win on friday. But, to make a long story short, i won the big game of the night... $350!! Here is a picture of my winning board. It was cover all and that orange dot in the corner is from walaboo's bingo dabber finding numbers i missed. but yeah when i won he yelled bingo for me and got the people to come over. The whole process was very embarrassing. Not only was i nervous that i would win but then they were like verifying my numbers and kept making all these mistakes and it took a really long time before they said i had a good bingo. My other big fear is calling bingo and then being wrong. but it worked out and i made a ton of money!



It was also really strange because like everyone we went with seemed to win. We went with Katrina and her family too, and her mom won $40 and little brother won i think $15. And Walaboo won too! So like when we were walking out people were saying how crazy it was that one table had that much luck. So although I don't think i'm ready to become a regular friday night bingo junkie, it did turn out to be fun.

Then walaboo, me and Katrina went to TGI Fridays and to some bars. But don't worry, i didn't spend all my money. I have a Florida trip to pay for! ;-)
