Farscape Introduction

You gotta love Crichton :)

So, I'm sitting here thinking 'I wonder how many people have never even seen this show.' I love it, it is one of my all time favorites. Perhaps it is because it has a great story line, perhaps because Ben Browder's not bad to look at...lol. At any rate, it really is a great show, there's a small YouTube clip, actually there's a bunch of them...this is the intro :)

Another joke...we could use one right?

Graduate School Barbie comes in two styles!Delusional Master's Barbie (tm) and Ph.D. Masochist Barbie (tm). Every Graduate School Barbie comes with these fun-filled features guaranteed to delight and entertain for hours:
Grad School Barbie comes out of the box with a big grin on her face that turns into a frown after 2 weeks or her first advisor meeting (whichever comes first). Adorable black circles under her delightfully bloodshot eyes! Two outfits: a grubby pair of blue jeans with 5-year-old gap T-shirt, and a floppy pair of gray sweatpants with a matching "Go Screw Yourself" T-shirt! Grad School Barbie talks! Just press the button on her left hand and hear her say such upbeat grad school phrases as, "Yes, Professor, It'll be done by tomorrow" "I'd love to write it all over again" "Why didn't I just get a job, I could have been making $40,000 a year by now if I had just started working with a Bachelor's degree. But noooooo, Mom and Dad wanted a masters degree" and "I wish somebody would drop a bomb on the school so that I'd have an excuse to stop working on this degree that's sucking every last drop of life force out of my withered and degraded excuse for a soul..." (9 V lithium batteries sold separately) Grad School Barbie is anatomically correct! Experience the exciting changes that come with pursuing a higher education! Removable panels on Barbie's head and torso allow you to watch as her cerebellum fries to a crispy brown, her heart race at 150 beats per minute, and her stomach lining gradually dissolve into nothing!

Sad...soooo sad

I'm sure most people have seen the story by now that Heath Ledger has passed away at the horribly young age of 28. Only three years older than me! It is sooo sad and shocking. The saddest parts being that someone broke the story before the mother of his child, Michelle Williams was told; the lengths that Hollywood goes to in order to exploit people never ceases to amaze me! And perhaps the saddest part of all is that he left a little girl behind :( Sooo sad. Here's one of the many many stories about his death, of which the cause is still unknown.

Tired...

Like most college students, today I am extremely tired. I find it hard to force myself to even post on here...which I normally ENJOY! Yesterday I went over to my mom and dad's house and my mom had a cold, and I'm starting to think that maybe she shared some of her wonderful germs with me...lol. That's alright though, I'm sure it's nothing I can't deal with, possibly it's just an excuse not to do my homework...right? Probably. Anyway, I think I will finish my paper for my 18th century class and have a nap. I know, I know it's sooooo exciting to be 25 and need a nap...lol. Post a longer one later :)

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee

When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls... He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full The students responded with an unanimous "yes."The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed."Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions--and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.The sand is everything else--the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend al l your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you."Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first--the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.."One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked.It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.." Please share this with someone you care about. I JUST DID. I love this! My best friend Shannon sent it to me and I thought I'd share with my fellow extremely stressed and busy college students! :)

Okay I'm having a day from....well you know

Okay, so I get up this morning and my laptop won't boot up. No Vista, no log-on screen nothing! I just bought it in July, so I call Circuit City and tell them it is sick...lol. They say bring it in and they'll have their tech see what they can do. This immediately worries me, just what I need is some high school flunkie looking at my $800 machine. I tell him that the hard drive is corrupt and he tells ME that there is no way to tell. I try to be nice and tell him that I ran the BIOS diagnostic test and it failed, meaning something killed my hard drive. He said, oh okay. He said well that's a HP issue so you'll have to contact them!! I'm like what?!?! I just drove all the way over here for nothing!! You've gotta be kidding me! Anyway, so now I'm waiting on a part from HP, which I almost killed them over because they said they wouldn't send me the part without a credit card number. I'm thinking it's under warranty you deal with it if it gets lost in the mail. So, apparently that will fix the problem, but we shall see.
Also, this week my cell phone was stolen. So I am having complete technological melt down and I do NOT like it! I had a fight with AT&T about getting a replacement too, because apparently when they took over Cingular my loss protection was dropped. SIGH! Anyway, long story short, I am now severely technologically debilitated...lol.

I guess I'm a little picky!

I have spent the last hour tweaking my blog, trying to get it exactly the way that I want it and I must say it's finally there. I have a few little elements that I would like to add but I am so tired I think I will do the rest tomorrow! I love the Vin Diesel picture, but that's just me :-D if anyone has problems reading the type through the picture just let me know and I will set the opacity different so that there is a background instead of it just being transparent.

Enough about that though, I am taking another online course and let me tell you it is going to be a killer. I realize I am in graduate school and a lot more is expected of us, but wow! This syllabus would shock you ;) Well I guess in a way that's a good thing, at least I won't be able to say that I'm bored...lol (as if any graduate student ever gets to say that!)
