start looking for a new car
Category: car woes

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
Category: dreams

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!

If Super Girl is wearing a thong what do you call Wonder Woman's underwear? :) [editor's note: this one is for all the comic book reader's out there!]

I am probably about to get busted for not working, but this day has been fucking INSANE so i'm taking a 5 min estrip break.

But can I say- psychic twin powers activate!
i've been meaning to make a silly thong post all day long. Maybe i'll still put it up if I get a chance.

fuck, back to work!

Um I will say this. It is cool that all the peeps where in the dream. But it is to bad we all didn't have the same dream from our perspective. I do have one question how did you pay for food and drinks, oh wait I'm sure you had them all payed for in that outfit. I can say I have never had a dream like that. I have no idea if that dream means anything or if it is just a reflection of the reality your mind was going through at the time.

And you said that the pictures from the upcoming party would make me feel as if i was there? Somehow I don't see how it would be remotely close! lol. interesting dream. anyone out there looking at this from a jungian, or freudian school of thought?? super girl thong huh. nice. i thought my boxers were cool.

work study
Category: potpourri

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.

awesome user pic!!

jenks - 02/02/06 16:37
i hear ya... isn't awesome? My last med students- not so hot. Now- fantastic! They are interested, they WANT to come to the OR, they VOLUNTEER to do work, they ASK me to teach them things... rather than just sitting there watching me do the work that they should be doing b/c i'm sick of bugging them to do it.
(and they gave the last two "high pass". I was biting my tongue so hard to not offer my input. I'm not a hard ass, but if it were up to me, I would have failed one of them.)

Nice pics first of all. I like how purple your hair looks in the pics. This is just me but in the pics Josh and Jason look more alike then in person.

remember the future
Category: space

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.

I cannot believe it's been 20 years either. Thanks for reminding us.

i was sitting in my 4th grade class room, i remember it like it was yesterday as well. the tv was on for the launch and the shades were pulled down. i remeber sitting with my chin in my hands watching excitedly, cause my dad works for moog and they do work for the space shuttle. every launch was exciting. when i got home from school i asked my dad if what he worked on was what went wrong. i dont remember his response though. After it happened, Everyone in our class had to take a student from her class or maybe it was just someone from the school who was in our grade and become a pen pal. i wish that i remembered or still had the person's name.

I love cosmology and all its mystery. Even the known is fascinating and intense to think about.

I was sitting in orchestra- when the announcement came on..

I am a firm believer that there is life on other planets. How could Earth be the only one? It just doesn't make sense to me. I doubt we'll ever know the truth in our lifetime.

I also believe that there are aliens among us. Watching us in our daily activities and reporting back to there higher power.
