Gary was the first to introduce me to Family Guy, the short-lived animated series from Fox. The three seasons that ran originally are equal parts hilarity and brilliance, and I can always count on the series DVDs for a good chuckle when nothing else is on TV. Which is why, when Fox announced it was …
having fun while being bad.
This has been an awesome weekend — and it’s not even over yet! Friday night, several of us went to see (FINALLY!) Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead. I’d read the play years ago, but to see it staged was fantastic. Now I’m anxious to watch the DVD. We had great company, but the weird thing …
funny.
I’m going to be deliberately vague here, but I wanted to share this snippet. Today, I ran into someone I come into regular contact with on campus at TWU, and he greeted me by saying, “Liz! My bubbly beauty!” And I just HAD to laugh. BTW, I wasn’t until today, but I’m about 95% sure …
it’s funnier if you’re a code junkie…
… but even if you’re not, if you know ANYTHING at all about programming, this “how to write code” post on craigslist seattle is hilarious and well worth the 45 seconds it will take you to scan through. If you don’t know squat about programming, try anyway. You might learn something. About programming, of course! …
erg.
So, we didn’t go to Beethoven’s Fifth last night, mostly because this week has completely drained me and I wanted to be lazy, watching TV (specifically season four West Wing episodes) on the new couches. We did, however, go to week 5 Weight Watchers weigh-in, and I’m happy to say that even though I spent …
forgetting the quiet kids
The April 26 Christian Science Monitor has an interesting article about how the dynamic of the classroom often leaves quiet kids left behind — a topic I personally find relevant since, for most of my academic career, I have been the quiet kid in my classes. (No, really.) My second year of college, I got …
a blonde moment
Last night, Rachelle and I went to see “Enchanted April” at the Water Tower Theater in Addison. Beforehand, we met at Cristina’s for dinner & margaritas — Paul told me ages ago that he loved the margaritas there, and he was right; mine was fantastic! And potent! 🙂 The play itself was excellent (as they …
too easy
I guess Tuesday morning trivia was too easy this week — everyone, including someone whose identity I don’t know (sojourning crow?), got the answer right! Which of the following musical instruments have I never played? A) ClarinetB) Oboe — correct answer!C) FluteD) Trumpet I played the trumpet from grades 6-10, the flute in 11th & …
“DeLay in serious trouble” — no kidding!
Finally, it seems like Tom DeLay’s repeated ethics violations are about to catch up with him. {snip}This time DeLay could be admonished, censured or, at worst, expelled by a House vote — if the chamber takes any action at all. Initially, DeLay’s fate will be in the hands of the soon-to-be-empaneled 10-member ethics committee, which …
relief?
I arrived to work this morning to find a whole *crew* of facilities guys working on the HVAC system in our building. Could this mean an end to my at-work hot flashes?!?!
