Someone’s been watching The American President

Lewis Rothschild: People want leadership. And in the absence of genuine leadership, they will listen to anyone who steps up to the microphone. They want leadership, Mr. President. They’re so thirsty for it, they’ll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there’s no water, they’ll drink the sand.

President Andrew Shepherd: Lewis, we’ve had Presidents who were beloved who couldn’t find a coherent sentence with two hands and a flashlight. People don’t drink the sand ’cause they’re thirsty. They drink the sand ’cause they don’t know the difference.

I need to watch that movie again…

Arrrrrrrr!

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day! 😀

And happy anniversary to my good friend Eden.

As for me, I’m just happy it’s a Friday. Now where did I put my rum?

I’m back, to post a silly pirate joke:

A pirate walks into a bar, and he has a steering wheel sticking out of the front of his pants.

The bartender says, “Hey, do you know you’ve got a steering wheel sticking out of the front of your pants?”

And the pirate says, “Arrrr, it’s drivin’ me nuts!

Thanks, folks…I’m here all week…

A new Halloween costume for me?

edna-incredibles.jpg by you.

So last week, one of my students says, “Hey, I just figured out who you look like! That lady from The Incredibles!”

Um…I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean it as a compliment. 😉

Still trying to keep caught up, never mind, y’know, actually getting ahead…

I’m pretty sure I had some other things to say, but they’re all escaping me at the moment. One of these days, my brain will function normally again. I’ll keep you posted.

How not to write a short story

Last night, I watched a random episode of Friends that TiVo kindly “suggested” for me. The episode was “The One with the List,” which (if I’m remembering correctly) was early in the second season.

Setup: Rachel and Ross have kissed. Ross has a girlfriend, but is in love with Rachel. Joey and Chandler suggest that Ross make a list of pros and cons to help him decide what to do.

Chandler has typed the list on his new laptop. Rachel sees the list (only that is something about her) and insists that they show it to her. What happened next had me laughing so hard, I was nearly crying. I took it back and watched it again, and then made Rand watch it. I don’t think he thought it was quite as funny as I did. 😉

Rachel: Chandler wrote something about me on that paper and I want to see it!
Ross: Chandler isn’t that the short story you were writing?
Rachel: Short story? And I’m in it? I want to read it!
Ross, Joey, Chandler: NO!
Joey: Why don’t you read it to her?

(this is the part that had me in tears…)

Chandler: It was summer… and it was hot. Rachel was there… A lonely grey couch…”OH LOOK!” cried Ned, and then the kingdom was his forever. The End.

Is this as funny as I think it is? I’m still laughing. I think the next line was Joey saying Chandler was the worst writer EVER. 😀

Dying over here

I had an appointment last week to get my regular facial sugaring (waxing) done. I decided that I was going to try having my legs done and see how I felt about it. The girl looked at my legs, decided that the hair was long enough, and started on my right leg.

She then decided that I’d be better off if I waited another week. I sighed, and said fine. I had an appointment scheduled for today.

She just called me and asked if she could see me TOMORROW instead, because she’s not feeling well.

Augh! It’s 90 degrees, and I’m like gorilla woman over here. (except, of course, for the section of my right leg that has been done…) And if I cave in and shave, it’ll be another 3 weeks before I can do the sugaring thing.

*grumble*

That Creed Bratton (that’s Creed from The Office) was the lead guitarist for The Grass Roots?

If you’re like me, and you click on the link for The Grass Roots and don’t recognize any of the song titles, hop on over to YouTube and check out some videos. I’ll bet you know them. Here’s one to get you started:

And that’s your random fact for Thursday. 😉

The Breast Cancer Site (an associate of The Hunger Site) is trying for 8 million clicks this month. It’s easy…go on and click!

(While you’re there, you can click for hunger, literacy, the rainforest, children’s healthcare, and animal rescue…)

Augh. It just eats up ALL of your time and energy. Things are coming along well, though, I must say. Will update soon!
