“And I say, hey-ya-yaa
hey-ya-yaa
I say hey, what’s going on?!”

(What’s Up by 4 Non Blondes)

I feel that every word in that quote should have an exclamation point haha. So much yelling! Doesn’t do it justice.

That’s Funny

Courtesy of Bill Maher:

“A few months ago, Sarah Palin mockingly asked them, ‘How’s that hopey-changey thing working out for ya?’ Great, actually. Thanks for asking. And how’s that whole Hooked on Phonics thing working out for you?”

Here’s the rest of his piece: http://huff.to/bBeEyL

Oh and doesn’t Sarah Palin make you cringe? The way she talks and acts and thinks, inside and outside, top to bottom, start to finish…pure imbecile.

Extraordinary Iceland Volcano

And likely not in the way you imagined.

The above article talks about the potential world consequences of the volcanic eruption in Iceland.

But beyond that, what caught my eye was the name of the volcano: Eyjafjallajokull.

Holy crap what a name! It almost looks like keyboard mashing. Scratch that. It DOES look like keyboard mashing.

Hear the pronunciation here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Eyjafjallajökull.ogg

No hate, just fascination =)

“If you LOVE it so much then why don’t you MARRY it”

We were funny little people.

Feels great, but ushers tomorrow and the passing of time…

It’s one reason I’m up this late in spite of an early morning tomorrow.

( Oh and also because my iPhone is irresistible in its new case =P )

News anchors have immense difficulty ending conversations with guests. There’s always a mess of extended pauses and interruptions at the conclusion of a discussion, making it all very awkward for all parties involved, including the viewers. There has to be a fix for this seemingly simple problem. Maybe a simple protocol for all anchors to follow? Like, the anchor ends the conversation and that’s all there is to it. No response needed or expected from the guest. That’d be a quick and easy way of doing it.

I’m 24 and have yet to figure out how to deal with teasing and smartasses.

With respect to the teasing, in the form of an annoying nickname, I am apparently supposed to not acknowledge it or show that it bothers me, and that will make it go away. But what’s unsettling is that I’m a stoic person to begin with. So I’m certain I haven’t shown any emotion to fuel the repeated nickname-calling…

And with regards to conversations with smartasses, I’m guessing I need to just immerse myself into that kind of tediuos dialogue enough times so that I can learn from experience.

Not A Good Day

Car got broken into at some point last night. Middle of evening actually. Pretty brazen of the person(s) involved. Didn’t find out about it all until the following morning. Weird. Landlady didn’t know it was my car…

Also had to deal with AT&T a few times regarding the features on my iPhone.

Plus (funny that I use that word here), didn’t get any studying done today. As if I would have been productive anyway.

Oh yeah. Still have to repair car window. Damn.
