In Time For Tuesday

Today, my vocal register is quite similar to Miss Patty's. Watch out for my song and dance numbers today.

All Fall Down

When I got back from work this morning, I noticed something I'd missed before I left earlier. . . I'd knocked everything except one pillow on the floor in my sleep. Now I wish I knew exactly what was happening during my REM cycle.

Chinese Threat

While cleaning my room, I came across my fortune I pulled out of a fortune cookie when me and my dad snagged a late dinner in Bismarck over break. It reads:

Read in order to live.

I'm not sure if it means to read books or read that tiny slip of paper, but I regularly do both. On the back in teaches you to say "birthday" in Chinese, which was another irony, because mine was at the end of that week.

I am the Favorite. So Deal

Today Penny made cookie bars. She told her children it was because they were driving her batty and bars are quicker. But she lied.

It's because of all her children. . . I am her favorite.

MMM Night Class

I thought this night class might be one long boring bust, but it's shaping up to maybe be some fun. Craig, a fellow Social Studies major, Monticello native, and Matthew McConaughey look alike. And he plunked his butt down right next to me. So now all I have to do is poison his girlie-friend and cast a spell and I'll be set for life.

Oh,well. If I don't get around to doing that, at least we have to work on a group project in content area groups, and we happen to be the only Social Studies majors in the room.

Money, Money, Money

I have money. Well, some. I sold three of my four books at the Book Exchange, and I haven't cashed two of work checks from over vacation yet. However, today Fin Aid goes through, so I'll have to settle my bill, AND taxes are coming up. I'm just waiting on my w2's and I have to give the Acct. dept a call still too. Wow. The more I talk the more depressing this gets. I'm quitting. Promise.

Thank God for Clock Radios

If it wasn't for Wy blasting out yesterday morning, or Miranda this morning, I'm not quite sure I ever would have gotten up. Shame. Shame.

The World After Gilmore

Trust me the witty dialogue isn't catching:

Shiner Ainjil: whatever you say
Super Toshia: of course
Super Toshia: cuz im queen duh
Shiner Ainjil: yes.
Shiner Ainjil: and I'm alligator bate

No dialogue writting for a hit TV show is NOT in my future.

I Think I Have a Problem.

I think I have a thing for older men. Aside from Keith, Viggo, Hugh, and Johnny.

There's Luke (aka Scott Patterson).

Does anyone else see this trend?

(And Heath is 26. That makes him older too. Just not quite as older as the rest.)

And The Fest Continues

Tonight, me and Toshia Gilmored it up after some meat and a viewing of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Which wasn't as good as the book, but it had it's moments).

With cereal in hand, we watched Rory and Logan come together (BAD PUN!) and Luke and Lor get back together, while Richard and Emily schemed together. I gather there was a lot of togetherness going on. Which is tentatively scheduled to continue on Thursday.

Balls, Courts, and Other Gilmore Related Things

Toshia has balls in her court. In fact, she has two sets of balls in her court. She just doesn't want them.

I however, would love balls. Please feel free to discuss this with all single males that meet most of my prior criteria and send me some balls people!

Safari at 10pm

If life were a giant Savannah, Toshia would be the gazelle with a gigantic backpack (or packpack) that got left at the watering hole when the massive flesh-eating predators approached.

And I'd be the one doing stand-up for the attacking alligators.

Ba-dum-bum.

Quote From Class

Our Social Psych Professor said, "1970. Gentler times."

And I turned to Toshia and said, "yeah, because they were doped up on weed."

Me like stoner music. It really was a great era...

Fun Word to Say:

illicit

...and depending on what the activity is, it's sometimes something fun to do!

Question

This is most likely directed toward Shauna, but all other's who are knowledgeable please provide input.

Are political opinion polls considered to be part of the media? I mean I know they're taken by "private" companies, but since the results are made public and the media is what publishes them right?...

Damn It! I Have No Money.

Robenella and the CC Stringband have a new disc out. I'm so freakin' excited that it's on CMT's listening party because these pockets are empty until after fin aid goes through.

Feelin' Like A Change

I'm feeling restless this morning. (I think it's because of the sugar) But there isn't much except cleaning to do and I'm not THAT hard up, so I changed my desktop picture. It's still Keith, but it's a picture from Farm Aid and he's all colorful and manly and jamming on his guitar.

I think I'm going to head to the public library and then over to the booksale for awhile. Ciao.

My Sister the Tall Liar

My sister claims she doesn't like things such as country music, cowboys, and other such nummalicious things. But I now have more proof that she is not only a dork, but also into hillbilly rockstars. Just check out that ensemble.

Gilmore Gala

Equipped with the sugary swag I carted home from my trip to visit my poor college student friendly relatives at the Acorn Bakery, the refreshments and yarn procured from a quick Walmart trip, and the multi-media entertainment I borrowed from the library on Friday, Me and Toshia spent ten hours sprawled in my living room crocheting, gossiping, watching Gilmore Girls season 5 (the whole reason for celebration) and consuming crap food.

And what a trip down the Stars Hollow memory lane it was! From first meeting nummy Logan, to the sexy accented Finn, the elder Gilmore's separation, the first Luke and Lor kiss to the great blow up at Emily & Richard's vow renewal. The festivities will renew themselves on Tuesday (the traditional GG night), so until then, "Bring on the imperialistic condiments!"

Krystle's BACK!!!

She just walked through the door and I was blogging...so I had to report it. Hee Hee Hee.

Shiny Dual Congrats Plus One for Keith!

Totally snitched from the .net site:

January 19, 2006 (NASHVILLE, TN) - 2006 begins with some very good news for performer Keith Urban: the artist's third album, Be Here, is now triple Platinum, marking sales of over three million albums, according to the RIAA.

"Be Here is the fastest selling record of Keith's career," said Bill Kennedy, VP Sales at Capitol Records Nashville. "The fact that this artist has scored back-to-back three million sellers - his last album, Golden Road, and now Be Here - proves Keith continues to connect with music fans throughout the country."

Since the album's debut in September 2004, Be Here has spawned a number of top hits, including three number one singles: "Days Go By," "Making Memories of Us" and "Better Life." Additionally, the videos for "Days Go By" and "Making Memories of US" achieved #1 status at music channel CMT.

Irony Defined

It's the first day of spring semester and it's snowing like mad out.

Totally Urbanized

Toshia gave me my mail yesterday, and I ripped into my new Keith Calendar. Part of the packaging is a sticker replica of Keith's guitar monkey guitar picks, which now graces my cell phone. I looked over at Tosh and said, "Now my phone is completely Urbanized."

She of course laughed at me, but we'll see who's laughing later when Keith comes to the North Dakota State Fair. Any one wanna go?

Keith For A Year

Before I left NoDak, my mom asked me if I had an 06 calendar. The conversation went something like this:

"Do you have a 2006 calendar?"

"Yes."

"What's it of?"

"Keith Urban."

"Okay. I guess you don't need these kitties and puppies then."

Lisa The Urbanite Recruiter

Over break I got this absolutely wonderful email from Shauna:

I, Shauna, have purchased an actual 'Country' genred CD. Pick your chin up off the floor - there's more...

What's more than that? & I know you'll approve - it's "Golden Road".

Driving back to work "Somebody Like You" was played twice at top volume with my wonderful accompaniment. (Boy Keith & I sound really good together!) Are you smiling yet? You better be... you've RUINED me for life.

***Don't I know it. And I've got plenty of people I plan on corrupting too.

Idiot In A Tank Top

So, I am such a moron that I left everyone's x-mas presents in Nodak in my closet. Well, Anna's and Toshia's any how. How brilliant is that?

New Phones and Hot Boys

I got my new cell yesterday, and the sales guy at the mall, Adam, looks at me and says,"God, You look familiar." After establishing that I'm not in a sorority, he went about activating my phone and me and Toshia took turns mouthing, "He's Hot!" to each other.

Morning Gorgeous!

Yesterday morning, Toshia gave me a call to get my butt going so we could break the bank at the grocery store. She instructed me to, "Go make yourself beautiful."

To which I reply,"I wake up beautiful. I just have to uglify myself so ya'll don't feel bad."

Woebegone

Yup. Salads took that one.
