I had an interview Monday morning for a job that basically would entail sitting in a computer lab doing homework until a professor comes in. Then I get up and teach them how to do whatever it is that they need to do on the computer. This morning I recieved an email saying I got the job. Yay, for me.
I feel good tonight. I checked my grades online and passed all my classes with grades high enough to move on. Not the best report card ever but good enough. I went to the gym today and upped the level of difficulty on my exercise bike then added ten minutes on the rowing machine to the end of my workout. After that I came home and made vegitarian stir fry with extra spinach, all served over white rice. It feels good to do something healthy. Plus I need all that ruffage to offset that bag of Swedish Fish I ate last night in bed.
The Cup is coming home! Saturday, May 8th, there's gonna be a wicked big BBQ type party for him. Get a hold of Mark for the details. (Mark, post the details!)
In an unrelated note I just ate an entire bag of Swedish Fish and now I have a tummy ache.
I was checking the page the other day from the computer lab at school and I noticed the comment popup had a picture of Scotty in the background. Does anybody else see this? It was something I tried to do months ago but could never get it right.
I read the other day that the CEO of McDonalds died of a heat attack. How ironic, poetic justice, and so forth. Though I still think people trying to sue McDonalds for making them fat is worse than that stupid lady who sued because she got burned by a cup of coffee.
In other news if you get bored give this a try. The happy music is the best part.
Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Ennio Morricone. Ennio Morricone? That's right, now I'll admit that although I was familiar with his work, I didn't know his name until this weekend. However, he wrote a piece of music that I hope is playing when I die. Unfortunately I must exclude Mark in this one, but figure out who this man is and what it is that he wrote that makes my spine shiver and I'll give a whopping 150 points. I'll give you a hint that once you figure out who he is, your first guess about the song will be wrong... and I want a fairly specific answer to this one.
I'll let you in on a little movie watching history by yours truly. Tuesday I rented and watched Kill Bill Vol. I. Wednesday I fell asleep to Kill Bill Vol. I. Thursday evening I watched Kill Bill Vol. I again. I did so because early Friday afternoon I went to the theatre and watched Kill Bill Vol. II with Mark. Friday evening I watched Kill Bill Vol. I, yet again, this time with Bourke. Friday night I watched Kill Bill Vol. II in the theatre with Bourke. I watched Kill Bill Vol. II the first time very critically and even took notes because I'm writing a review of it. The second time was just for fun. If you put both volumes together I can honestly say that Kill Bill is the best movie I have ever watched. Quentin Tarantino has secured his place in history as one of the greatest story tellers of all time.
I think I'm going to have to find a spot on my site for the Link O' The Week because yesterday it was the chicken and today it's the Bubble Wrap As a side note next week is exams so although I'm probably coming home this weekend I'll be spending most of my time writing papers.
I'm not sure if you need high speed internet to use this but its one of the most creative uses of the internet that I've stumbled across in a long time.
I've been pretty sick since Friday evening so I've been spending a lot of time on my laptop lately as I don't have much energy to do anything else. Sunday night I installed and ran Spybot, and highly recommend that you do to. Also I switched from Microsoft IE to Firefox. I gotta say Firefox is awesome, I have not had one single popup since I started using it. I also spent some time working on a bookmark icon, if you're using a fairly recent internet application you should notice a little smiley face next to my address. Finally, I'll add the points from the Mallrats question later I want to redesign the leader board first.
I spent Easter wrapped in a blanket on the couch in front of the tv. Friday afternoon I developed a sore throat and it was all down hill from there. Even today my nose is still stuffy and I've got some wicked bad sinus pressure right now. For an easy 5 points, where did today's quote come from?
I sent an application to some sort of lab yesterday. I put in for a job taking care of the animals and if I get it, I get to play with monkeys. I like monkeys.
In other news if anybody feels like buying me something for no real reason, I really want one of these belt buckles.
One more thing.
This doctor is a hero. More of a hero than any movie star or sports figure if you ask me. You don't have to read the whole story just the last paragraph.
Remember Hell Boy?
Homestar Runner is gone!
