Wow, this is really, really ugly

Treasure


I found bread in the dumpsters behind The Essential Baking Company. I got three items: a loaf of Rosemary Diamante, Desem, and some dinner roles.
What some people throw away...

Oh Burrito, I mourn thy loss.

I just polished off my last frozen burrito. This event marks a turn in my experience of life as I have known it previously. The clump of bean and vegetable protein that spilled out of a crack in the tortilla and onto my brown, boat-necked shirt signifies my unwillingness to let go of the chapter of my life that has closed with such force. As long as the earthy smell remains infused in the fabric of my shirt, I will hold fast to the memory of what it was to have the convenience of a burrito coming forth all warm and tasty from the microwave in less than 2 minutes.

Relax-it's only brain-rotting, mind-sucking hypnosis!

I am going to start a new blog! This one isn't dead, although all of my readers probably are. I was sitting here, reading Joel's feeble attempt to write a dissertation, and it donned on me that I could write out the project that my university requires of me before I can graduate. It will be like I'm blogging and being productive!!!

I do not endorse the previous comment

I wouldn't want to get a $500 rebate for Abercrombie and Fitch anyway. Ugh.
Maybe I should type out my study guide for History and systems on my blog. That would sure show blog spammers. HA! Take that you nasty fiend--I will smite you with Operant Conditioning *PooF*

Tea

I'm having some orange spice tea in the commuter lounge at SPU. I like how I live a block away from campus and I can still classify as a commuter. the water is taking forever to boil! I can hear the effect that the hotplate is having on the water, and so can everyone else in the place. It's going cchskhshchkshchshhhhhccckckkchshshsh. Ok, i give up. I'm going to pour the water even if it isn't boiling.
Ow! HoT! Ok, ouch. Burning thumb. I didn't want to use the dinky mugs, so I put it in a glass that doesn't have very good insulation. ouch. Hot.

666


hmm, I just noticed that my profile has been viewed 666 times. How ominous. Oh well, by the time someone reads this, it will be more like 663 times. Ooo, either I am really tired, really bored, or really ...nope, just tired. Wow. Ok, so. I think maybe i'm tired. I can't believe i just took a picture of my user stats. Maybe next time i will take a picture of my homework.
Everyone wants to read about:

So much for studying

I went to Kinnear Park the other day to study with some friends. There was a guy there that was really cool. First, he had a dog that was nice. (it was even alive and running around). When he (the dude, and consequently his dog)was leaving, i made some sort of friendly gesture, and he stopped to talk for a bit. He started telling us that there are two bald eagles nesting somewhere in the area, which was cool because my friend Kyle (who was also at the park) and I had just been discussing the several bald eagle sightings we had had in the recent past.
Anyway, I was particularly impressed when the guy said that we should beware, as bald eagles have a tendancy to swoop down on unsuspecting students. Man, that guy was cool.

Have you seen these guys?


The Fremont people were moved down the road recently because they are going to do something with the bridge. Since then, I don't think anyone had dressed them up...UNITIL NOW! Kelly and I, finished with finals, were looking for trouble to wash away the angst of the quarter. We decided to make history by being the first to adorn these fine people in their new environment.
The other day, my friend Søren and I were sitting in for the statue at the old site when someone drove by and yelled out of her window, "this is why I live in Fremont."

The things we do



I wonder what homework I was supposed to be doing this time. Heather is pretty cool. Isn't that the most awesome giraffe head you've ever seen? I MADE IT BY MYSELF!!! That's right, I was a giraffe for Halloween, but that is another story...

Get your head out of the clouds!

The Adventures of Heather and Shelley

See the snow angel?


the mud of our sorrows
This weekend has been one of large feats. MLK would have been proud. Heather (my future sister!!!!!!) and I successfully got stuck in the snow and mud in a matter of one weekend.
We learned how to put chains on tires in dire situations--such as when you are surrounded by train-like winds, pelting snowballs that leave welts the size of cow patellas, and flaming trucks/cars/landrovers flying off of the road in all directions (especially in directions that pose a threat to you).

Oh, i nearly forgot to mention that we even walked on a FROZEN LAKE!

Today

I got to pet a bunny today. It was afraid of me at first, but I held it and gave it some water. I also played with fire, drove across the state, and failed to find my gloves.
In other news, last time I checked, my car had ample oil, antifreeze, winshield washer fluid, and brake fluid. I hope there is enough tranny oil in there now. The gear shift used to get hot until my dad fed the car more. By the way, I need to come up with a name for the car since it is pretty much awesome. I am open to suggestions (if they are good).

I'll have a sandwich with a side of stomach cancer

AHHH, the burner is way too fast!!!! Here's my lunch today...I guess.














It's getting cold outside, and my mint is tinging yellow. I think that would like to bring it inside, but i need a smaller pot for that.




















I think my basil might be dead. But I'm still going to fight for it's life!!!!!!

It's Greek you see!

I was amazed to learn from one of my professors (who happens to be Greek) that the plural of octopus is really octopuses! It's Greek! Looks like the last influences of the Roman empire are finally slipping away into the depths of old Saturn's realm. Man, i've been reading too much about the planets lately.
In other news; I made a new friend today. His name is Mike. I was reading at Café Ladro in Freemont this evening, and there were some pretty...uh, well, it is Freemont afterall....people. Mike was really awesome, and we talked about psychology, Spokane, teachers, and Sedro Wooley,(I guess that's where the wooley people belong; coincidentally, Mike pointed out his beard). Mike lives in the group home over there and seems to like it pretty well. While we were talking, accross the street, Benny was yelling about the monsters. Mike shouted something back about the Jettsons or something. I guess Mike knows Benny a little bit. It was really cool to talk to Mike, and I hope to go back and find him again sometime.
Oh, i'm working on getting the pictures of fire hazards up, but blogger is being silly. These are fire hazards that I either found naturally around my apartment or ones that I....somebody...staged.







Oh, and two specifically for Joel's last comment:

A NEW THING!

Man, sorry dudes and dudettes, my posting habits are really just not happening. BUT, i updated my profile--I added my newfound hobby of creating fire hazards. Watch out Scotland! You never know when I'm going to be.....Laying on the floor in a hallway, leaving traces of magnesium, or placing the drapery right next to the heat register! hahahaha. I remember the times last year in the dorm when I would smile sweetly a while savoring the reality of the large, obstructive road cone sitting in the hallways as the fire marshalls walked past my room. Perhaps I will post pictures of fire-hazards in the days to come. For now, i must make some food for myself in the KITCHEN, next to the STOVE and MICROWAVE. Ooo, that reminds me, our smoke detector is haning from the ceiling by its tendons, perhaps i should strip them so that there is bare wire exposed. Oh, the irony...
