Happy Halloween!

Bloody Vikings!

Stupid Vikings had to loose the first damned game I actually get to watch this season.

At least I have a cute little Jack-O-Lantern and some nice salty pumpkin seeds to eat today.

Oh, yeah, and I got to watch Tom Brady. Yummy.

Season One of Kelley Farm

is officially over. I met tons of cool people, learned lots of neat things, and I got to bring home a pumpkin today!

Sleepovers Are The Best!

Especially when they start with a finished ED paper and end with Belgian Waffles. And if anybody attacks me I can bellydance, salsa, double punch, downward dog, spike him away.

Happy Birthday Keith!

I hope everybody takes a minute out to day to send good wishes to him since he's working on some personal issues. I love Keith and I'm not quite sure what it will take for me to no longer support him and his music. I just don't think it's possible.

I Heart Men Who Wear Eyeliner!

I have officially joined the club. Captain Jack Sparrow. Jared Leto in Alexander. The addiction has slowly been sneaking up on me, but Luke Goss all dark eyed and oiled up in One Night With the King just really did it for me.

Mmm. Eyeliner.

It's just too bad I'm not into those skinny pale gothy boys otherwise I'd be all set.

Shopping!

I did some grocery shopping and some Target shopping today and got some much needed necessities (including Dierks Bentley's new album even if I haven't had a chance to give it a listen). Now all I have left to do on my To Do List is to actually clean and vacuum my room, call my CT and Ken about SPED stuff, and oh yeah, Homework.

Guilty!

You know how well I suck up guilt, and one of the KF bosses really tried to get me to suck it ALL up.

Thank God for Erin and her smart mouth when you need it.

GG Chili Night

Tosh brought some chili over this morning for GG tonight.

'S Wonderful, 'S Marvelous
Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Christopher (David Sutcliffe) have begun to date, and although Lorelai is finding it difficult to fully commit to the relationship, Christopher keeps coming up with romantic dates to win her over.

Back at Yale, Rory (Alexis Bledel) meets some eccentric new girlfriends at an art exhibit, and Richard (Edward Herrmann) becomes a guest lecturer.

April (guest star Vanessa Marano) comes to stay with Luke (Scott Patterson) for a few weeks while Ana (guest star Sherilyn Fenn) is out of town.

Finally, Emily gets arrested and Lorelai has to bail her out of jail.

Melissa McCarthy, Liza Weil and Matt Czuchry also star. Victor Nelli directed the episode written by Gayle Abrams.

Horse of the Heart

Today someone important in horse racing and perhaps eventually in veterinary medicine had a front page story in USA Today. I of course am talking about Barbaro who is a gorgeous horse battling so many odds to be strong and healthy again. But he seems to be doing much better.



In the article, there was a comment that so many people have gotten behind Barbaro's healing because today's professional athletes lack that something that children can really look up to.

You know, I'm not really sure of that. I think there are many great role models out there for kids, but our society doesn't really dwell on the good in people so much as the bad. We do not look at people we attribute celebrity status to as whole balanced people, but perhaps someone we own in a very superficial way.

But Barbaro and other race horses give us athletes we can respect and admire, yet they still retain that mystery that others lack. The athlete himself cannot tell us about "the zone" they were in or the mental thought processes that went into a particular decision on a play, but we are given this magical look into their soul anyhow.

Racehorses are like watching poetry. It's as simple and complex as that all at once.

Alright. So this isn't where I was planning on going with this. I just wanted to comment on how well he's doing and then point out the link on the side. That's it. I swear. I didn't mean to go all...whatever.

Wow-za!!!

There is a FABULOUS Keith photo spread (Okay. So there are words too.) in the latest issue of Vanity Fair. If you don't want to drop the buck and a half to purchase the issue, atleast browse your local newstand because it's HOT.

Oh, and there are some other country artists in there too.

Errands

I had to run to Toshia's and pick up her CD collection for a homework project (yes I did cave and do a Book soundtrack), go to the public library to drop things off and pick things up (I traded Christina Dodd's latest for a Katie Mac anthology and Windtalkers. MMM Adam Beach), and I had to hit up Target for some odds and ends (and Ice Cream which is all Toshia's fault).

Anyhow, today was a chore day, so I wondered around the apt in a brief pair of jean shorts and a long sleeve T. Since it was cold out, I just pulled a sweatshirt on for the trip.

That's right. Looking my scrubby best, who do I run into at Target? Mr. Wannabeo. He looked kinda, well. Like himself. Unkept (with weird ass hair) and it was a short and slightly uncomfortable chat, but I'm supposed to say hey to the gang. So, "Hey."

Saturday

Dierks and Miranda tickets go on sale Saturday and I've got the fastest finger in central MN on the job to score me some tickets. Who else is insanely excited about that?

Housekeeping

After the fun, relaxing, and somewhat productive weekend I had, I still can't believe how much stuff I've got to do. Mostly it's stuff I kept putting off: laundry, cleaning, homework.

The usual.

So if anybody want's to come bug me for a bit this evening it would be much appreciated.

Homework.

Yippie.

Today

I want to post but feel too lazy. I think I'm going to walk around campus carring the book I need read by Tuesday and hope that magically the beautiful weather will entice me to read it. Bah.

Nailing Details

So I have officially applied for my Psych minor and after a brief freak-out in OCE I am now officially in the computer for my field experience. There are even rumors I might have a school district that I'll be in for it, so that's exciting.

Tomorrow the plan is to drop off my Graduation application, pick up my ENGL 460 curriculm project, and stamp/distribute AEO movie night flyers.

Plus there's work and homework. As Always.

GG

I haven't come up with a decision yet about how I feel about our Gilmore Guy. I guess the jury is still out. Here's what's in store for tonight.

That's What You Get, Folks, For Making Whoopie

Rory (Alexis Bledel) is upset over Logan's (Matt Czuchry) absence and the fact that they had to cancel their long-planned trip to Asia. Wanting to cheer Rory up and take her mind off her own sad love life, Lorelai (Lauren Graham) turns her house into an Asian-themed wonderland.

Lane (Keiko Agena) returns from her disastrous honeymoon. While repairing the damage to the diner, Luke (Scott Patterson) tells T.J. (guest star Michael DeLuise) about his break-up with Lorelai, prompting T.J. and Liz (guest star Kathleen Whilhoite) to insist that Luke cover over for dinner and sympathy.

When Luke and Lorelai run into each other in town, Luke can't hide his anger over their breakup. Finally, Rory is furious when she learns that Lorelai slept with Christopher (David Sutcliffe).

Melissa McCarthy and Sean Gunn also star. Bethany Rooney directed the episode written by Rebecca Rand.

Many Thanks Before Homework This Morning

Thanks to After Midnight, Code Red, Erin (and by extention Jon) I made it home from Nodak in once piece. No thanks to Target who forgot my picture CD, you have to wait till I have time to get on the scanner before you see any pictures.
