I'll give you something from my cupboard if you come up with a new, cool name for this blog. That is all.

Bo Bear
Tonight's theme: arts and crafts. Went with Jen to Wally to help her pick out an art/craft project and left with one of my own: a plaster bear and some paint and brushes. The final result..."Bo Bear." Bo Bear is 7 inches of cuteness and you can put spare change in him. He'll probably need some extra touching up in the future (he's textured, so it's hard to get the paint in all the crevases) but he's looking mighty fine. Painted him dark brown with a red bow around his neck. The package directed his bow to be purple, but you just can't beat the appeal of a big, red bow. It took about 3 hours to paint him, but the work was done in stages and I stopped somewhere in the middle to make chili and then eat said chili (which was tasty, btw-and there's some left too). I'm going to look into finding different ones and painting more of them in the future. All in all, not a bad way to spend the evening.
Amazon
Opened an account on amazon.com and immediately started ordering books on charm and etiquette. I got two books on how to be a Southern lady and two Ettiquette Grrls books. Not only will they be interesting reading, I just may in time learn how not to sit like a linebacker and manage to acquire a trace of social grace. Or maybe I already have more than I give myself credit for...the other day, I saw this really polished and accomplished girl on campus and now I just feel like the poor man's version of her. So now I've started a little side project to get some of that sparkle of shine for myself. Not getting an inferiority complex or obsession or anything weird like that...just using a little benchmarking for improvement purposes. Looking at her made me want to be a better version of me.
Chili!!!
The chili was good, did I mention that?
So...Very...Cold
Around 5pm yesterday, I was standing in ront of my closet debating whether or not to wear sandals to class. And now, it's 21 degrees out and blowing snow. Oh what a difference 30 hours makes. Went to Nick's for lunch with Andy, Devin, and Devin (as opposed to Larry, Darryl, and Darryl) and we all got hit by a blast of arctic air on the way to the Canyonero. It would have been funnier if the burst of cold air hadn't hurt so bad.

The Pre-Gym
I've resumed my workout routine, but I'm doing it in the cardio room down the hill. I consider this place the "pre-gym" because I'm going there so I can get into somewhat decent shape before going to the Curris Center. It's sad that fluffy people such as myself have to work their way up to the real gym, the social gym...or maybe it's just that I'm too lazy to do more than put on pants and a hat before going to pump iron for an hourish. But all of that is just social commentary. Even if I were of Giselle proportions, I'd still just roll out of bed, walk down that hill, and jog my 2 miles and bench my 80lbs. w00t to being strong
The new Britney Spears Video
She looks naked and sparkly in it...score! The name of the song is Toxic. She gets two points for the title. Now what does it mean, Britney, what does it mean? Can you use it in a sentence? I didn't think so. Will have to watch it in it's entirity. Full review coming soon.
Like Tuna?
1 can tuna fish
1 "glob" mayo (i like the low-carb, high fat regular kind)
3 dashes of pepper
1 dash lemon butter with dill spice (Soulard Spice shop, probably available other places too)
1 dash salt free vegetable seasoning (Soulard....yada yada yada)
It's so good that I eat it right out of the bowl with a fork and wash it down with a diet dr. pepper. I suggest you do it the same.

Attention Whore
Lately, I've been suffering from "attention deficet disorder" - I don't feel like people have been paying much attention to me. Not that I'm used to being center of attention or anything, I just feel under noticed. Thus, I've established a pattern of odd behavior to get my spoiled arse noticed. I've been picking at my nose in public, playing drinking games, and just a few minutes earlier (even though no one was home) decided to dispatch my sports bra into the washer right there in the kitchen! Shirt off, bra in washer, shirt over tatas, wandering back into my room. No one would have been home, but at least it may have caused a fuss to have a naked lady wandering through the house. But being the wuss I am, no full on nude house strut...no, I must confess, I wandered back to the room quickly.
Basketball Owns
Practiced with the intramural team for about 2 hours at the RSEC today. Good times. Fouled and charged the heck out of everyone. While I couldn't remember all of our old basketball plays (M, N, I, ad nauseum), I did remember how to play like Charles Barkley. You know what they say-if you can't be like Mike, be like a freight train.
Shower Head
Anyone with spare vinegar laying around the house needs to bring it to me. My shower head dispenses water in several split streams. It's kind of cool though, having a stream for washing, one for rinsing, and one for um...wetting? I don't know. I've got nothing.
You Know You're HARDCORE CHEMISTRY! ...
...when you get overly excited about how to clean up broken glass. There is no hope for me, it's a wonder I date.

Diet V8 Splash
This juice just owns me and it's minimal sugar as well (THE FUED OF 2004: Me vs Sugar)! Parent's picked up the strawberry kiwi and berry blend varieties at the store today and I've been drinking the stuff like it's going out of style since. I'd say there's just a little more than half a container left in each one (at 8 servings per container, assuming a serving is 8oz, that means the container has 64 oz = 1 gallon, thus i've consumed roughly a gallon between the two containers)...no wonder I'm staring to feel a bit sick. I think I've got JUICE POISONING!!! But alas, when I wake up in the morning, I'll probably pour another glass to start my day right. You can't even taste the carrot in it...well, maybe just a little, but maybe I'm imagining that because I KNOW there's carrot in it. Weird.
Bring it On Again
That title is hard to write in a grammatically correct manner (you aren't supposed to capitalize prepositions, eh?). Does there really need to be a sequel to Bring it On? How can one improve on the awesome power of the original. Nichole-one of these nights, you and I are going to find out.
Rams Choke!
Guys-I've seen you play some awesome football, but today it looked like you were going through the motions. I want to see more hustle and heart next season. The last quarter of regular play and the first overtime quarter was a good, tough performance. You guys were really fighting for it and that was awesome. Play like that all next season and you'll all have rings. Carolina wanted it more today and they got it. Congrats on a pretty good season and good luck next year.
...don't you love it how it's written like the rams will actually read it? cute eh? yeah, didn't think so either

One day left at my parent's house and then it's back to the big Murr for a semester of learning and debauchery. This semester's resolutions/goals revolve around professional goals (fabu job in Vegas)and the usual futile attempt at a healthy and fit lifestyle. I feel like crud and just about everything I eat makes me sick so maybe that's nature's way of telling me to take better care of myself or something like that. All those years of sleeplessness, pizza, and dark beer have finally caught up to me.
Caring Less
I resolve to attempt not to worry about the small stuff and not be so critical of myself. While there's always room for improvement, things aren't worthy of such harsh self-judgement. This somewhat pertains to my habit of writing half of a paper other people call "quite good" and then scrapping it and starting over after dismissing it as "really bad." I resolve to set reasonable quantitative goals for myself as to have tangible proof that I have reached such goals.
Viva La Bam
This show is multi-car pileup and I'm seriously rubbernecking. It's horribly stupid and I can't stop watching. I think this show is actually making me feel sick to my stomach. I've gagged watching it at least twice...can't change the channel though. So I guess that's a sign of entertainment genious on their part-keeping someone like myself watching for over 2 hours now. Good job misfits.
Once again, does anyone actually read this?!?

Rules for Next Week's Birthday Celebrations
1. No getting sick with strep throat. (check)
2. Yelling at the birthday girl and/or making her cry has been upgraded to an offense worthy of capital punishment. Anyone that does this (again!) will be asked to step outside by my black belted bf and his geekly gang of goons.
3. Everyone will have an AWESOME time.
4. No "obligatory" gifts. This means, unless you're a really close friend and/or just want to, please abstain from giving a gift because it's "socially acceptable." You can either buy me a drink or donate money to either the Ronald McDonald House and/or any local Women's Shelter.
5. PARTY!!!

The Old Apartment Quiz
When I shut the door for good on my old apartment last night, did I say:
A) Sayonara Scumhole!
B) Farewell, Chronic Couch
C) Goodbye Pile of Vomit on the Walkway
D) I'm Outta Here
The Answer is C: Someone puked on the walkway sometime in early October and there it stayed until someone hosed off the walks in mid-December. I was actually excited that afternoon because the dried vomit was no where to be seen. Alas, when the side walk dried, it's stain was there and as the days have passed, I swear the vomit returned. It's there forever and nothing can be done to change that.
