burn, sizzle

i forgot to eat today and i don't feel so good. i'm wearing pajama pants because my tiny black pants got cat fur all over them. is it really mardi gras? oh. i guess it is. since i'm a college student i think i should go get drunk and show my boobs to strange men in exchange for beads. can't. too bad. i'm going to stay home and study for the next test. i've been looking at my geology notes so long, i've started thinking of my cat as being "mafic" and my dog as being "felsic". hmm.. maybe i'll just do art history tonight and save the geo for tomorrow. in case anyone was wondering, i got an A on my first lab test and my teacher gave me that autographed bookie i so coveted. going to read it over spring break. it's about texas dinosaur fossils. yay! gotta find food now.

Hey! This is gonna be a great weekend! Today is Friday and my Art History teacher wants all her students to attend a lecture by some guy that scribbles on canvas. His paintings are nice but not the kind that require any talent. In fact, they look a lot like my paintings. It's for extra points so I'm going. We haven't had a test in that class yet so I have no idea how well (or poor) I'm doing. I have to miss my daughter's Kindermusic class. Boo! We're going to the library with her dad later on, so that's okay. After the library I'm listening to a taped lecture on Geology and taking notes. Usually I do that on Saturday but my Geology teacher wants all his students to join him on a field trip all over Llano County tomorrow. It starts at 6:30 am and goes until 5 ish pm. That is also for extra points and may help me better understand rocks so I'm going. I'm averaging 101 in that class so far, but it gets a lot harder. On Sunday (last weekend day) I'm with Hayley all day and I have another taped lecture to listen to, but I took enough notes the first time and I have a paper to write about the field trip and some other studying to do. I think its kind of strange that two of my teachers wanted to suck up my weekend time on the same weekend. Conspiracy? of course! I'm glad my Algebra teacher didn't join in.. she defected by assigning logarithms this weekend. Easy logarithm pie! Yum.

I suppose I have to talk about the wedding yesterday. Walter and Jean got married! Yay! and they're moving into an apartment today. I just saw a truck leave, presumably filled with Walter's things. I didn't get to see much of the wedding because Hayley missed her nap and wouldn't stop yelling and being angry so I had to take her outside during the ceremony. I missed that part. The reception was pretty heavily Hayley influenced as well. She kept running off and then she went outside with her dad and refused to come back in, so we had to leave early. I saw Desiree and her girlfriend, Petra, though. We talked and Joanie (Enrique) was there. I ate some freaky lasagna that had salsa in it and some bread that looked like a bunch of boobs. Elmeisha and Jori were there but I didn't get to talk to them at all. Maybe someday I will see Desiree and Joanie again on a day when Hayley is well rested and friendly and not all destructive and screamy. I'll be posting wedding pics soon.

i wear the cheese, it does not wear me

I had to go to the crappy post office that I hate to fill out a change of address form. I got out of my car all grumpy and noticed this billboard on the far side of the parking lot. It said : ABSTINENCE CHILL its about respect! I began to wonder what that could possibly mean when it hit me.. if you're a girl and a guy just won't leave you alone you can put ice down his pants. It doesn't make much sense, but I like the Abstinence billboard campaign better than the "SEX... it's worth the wait" billboards. That slogan raises the question  Worth the wait until when? 17th birthday, marriage, Prom, the weekend? Or maybe they were trying to discourage people from having sex in public places.. like worth the wait until you get inside. They don't work anyway. There are more pregnant chicks than ever. I guess that's what happens when you introduce a large group of hormonally charged, young males to the local population and still outlaw prostitution. Not that prostitution doesn't happen around here. I used to deliver pizzas on the bad side of town and we have several thriving whorehouses. Problem is, the whores are all butt ugly and diseased-looking and rude! I would like to close my little sex-talk by saying that I think the army should have a whore corps. Our government should specifically hire several hundred young women and put them to work "boosting the troops' morale" as it were. They would have to stay in shape like the soldiers do so they wouldn't look nasty and they could get free medical care so they wouldn't be all diseased. This plan could seriously reduce the number of military-employed sexual predators in our community and keep those Army boys from trying to sneak into the local High Schools to pick up girls. Although, it wouldn't stop the high school girls from trying to lie about their age so they could sleep with a soldier and then get that soldier in trouble with the cops who chase him until he leaps into a dumpster and cries in front of all his friends while they haul his ass to prison (true story), it may reduce the number of guys who are so desperate for lovings that they fall for that trick. In summary: billboards bad, government hookers good.

I'm trying to write an article review about economic globalization and i can't spell. its awful! usually i'm an okay speller, but i think the bad spelling is a manifestation of my guilt about bullshitting. i know nothing about economics. i purposefully avoided learning anything about boring boring economics. and now i have to bullshit my way through talking about whether or not the guy writing the article is full of crap. he's not a very good writer. i know that much. he used a standard intro body conclusion format and each paragraph follows the main idea, point, point, point, transition format that i learned in Composition 1. his tone changes a lot, too. he is definitely an amateur when it comes to writing. too bad that doesn't matter.
I got this Janis Joplin CD and everytime Janis says that she needs a man I feel like yelling back You don't need a man to complete you, Janis! It's kind of annoying how insecure she is. I guess that says something about how far Women's Liberation has come. Or maybe she was especially needy in her time, too. But I really like Love is Like a Ball and Chain.
Hayley's birthday is on the 12th this month. She'll be 3 and she can say 3. She can also say "little fart" and she knows her colors and can count to 10 in spanish (we're working on english.. damn Dora and her bilingual influence!)
Something else exciting: the Silent Hill movie is coming out in April! I almost creamed in my pants when I found that out. It looks like it'll be based on Silent Hill 1 except the kid's name is Sharon, not Cheryl, and her mom (not her dad) is looking for her. A few other things changed, too. Like Cheryl's other parent is still alive which is really weird. I hope that they make a sequel based on Silent Hill 3 and just skip 2 and 4 completely because those games sucked plotwise. I sold my Silent Hill 2 back to the store for $2 and was glad to be rid of it. 4 was kind of sick.. all that talk about rotting umbilical cords and those damn ghosts. And what kind of game has an ending where you successfully complete your mission and the world is doomed anyway!? I mean, WTF? ......deep breaths......
I have a Geology test now, so that's all for today.
