Bogie

I was looking through my pictures and found this one of Bogie, one of my mom's cats. He is very territorial so he sometimes pees in the house. He can be a real brat and talks way too much. But how can you not love his cute little pudgy face. He's quite a lush for any kind of attention:)

Dard's Wedding

Me and Nathan went to his friend's wedding this weekend in Fisher, Indiana. His name is Matt Derado and Nate and his friends call him Dard. The Bride's name is Jennifer but everyone calls her Jenna. We had an awesome time this weekend and we got to stay in a brand new hotel. It was very nice. It was sort of like a mini vacation. Here's a couple pictures:

Head of the Class

The weather was pretty nasty this morning driving in the snow. I used my 4 wheel drive though and it was great. I was running late because I turned off my alarm like three times as usual. So, I walked into class only 2 minutes late and my teacher hadn't started class yet. He's also my advisor so I know him pretty well.

Anyway, when I walked in he said to me, with a smirk on his face, "Four wheel drive didn't help with this morning?" Then I said, "Oh, it did." with a smile on my face. Then ofcourse I realize he was probably teasing me because I was late, and I just said something back that was not funny at all! I should have said, "Yeah, my alarm clock didn't help either." Which would have been slightly funny and corny and appropriate for class.

It was one of those moments where you think of something funny to come back with just a few seconds too late. I'm usually quick to answer anything, so it's hard for me to say quick funny things unless I'm having a good night.

I'm out!!!!!!!!!

sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand

I started a list last week of movies that I want to see. Some are new and some are old and in between. Pretty random. Last night I watched Cool Hand Luke starring Paul Newman. It was a great movie. Lot's of good lines and really neat moments. Just a good feeling kind of movie with a good looking actor;)



It was neat to see a younger Dennis Hopper and George Kennedy, who's been in a million films including the Naked Gun movies. I love movies that were made back then (this one was 1967).

Joey likes to lay on top of the cupboards in the kitchen. The highest place in the apartment. The cutest...

Recurring Dream With a Twist

Last night I had a recurring dream where I'm supposed to be meeting my friends Katie, Michelle, and Stephanie at an amusement park. It's really dark outside and it's a pretty creepy park on the outskirts. So, I get there, and I buy a ticket and there's all these outdoor hallway tent thingys that I'm walking down to get to the park entrance. Then there's this open field and I can see the park in the distance a few hundred feet away. I see it all lit up with ferris wheels and such. I start walking towards the fence entrance and something stops me. The first time I had this dream I don't remember what it was that stopped me. But this time it was Carmelo Anthony. We ended up french kissing and then I woke up.



Too bad it wasn't Al Anagonye or Ben Wallace!

Why in the world did I dream this? I don't even like Carmelo. I think he was in there because last night I went out with my friends, and Katie said that Carmelo's hair is longer now and he used to be cuter. This is what dreammoods.com has to say about the amusement park.

To see or be in an amusement park in your dream, indicates that you need to set some time for leisure and more enjoyment in your life. Consider how everything in the park is an expression of some aspect of yourself. Alternatively, you may be too easily distracted lately.

Hmmm...I think I'm too distracted by videos games lately:)

Ciao ciao!

it's late and i'm happy

hey ya'll! i just got home with nathan. we hung out with his friends tonight. first we went to the Riv and then to Jeremy's house to play poker. Ofcourse, I didn't play poker because I'm very inexperienced and although I've learned a few times, I always forget the jist of it.

He has very nice friends. Most of them are from Cheboygan. Since I didn't play poker (I'm going to have nate give me lessons) I mostly just talked and watched...but then I discovered that they have a gamecube, and they have ZELDA!!! So ofcourse I quickly started playing that and continued until we left.

I'm glad that nathan met such nice people in his classes and that they are good friends. I really miss the fact that most of my friends don't live very close anymore. It was always fun to be able to get 10 people together on the spur of the moment just to watch blind date and eat Gumby's in undergrad. I'm hanging out with my friends tomorrow (or I guess today).

My friend Stephanie is moving to Reno, Nevada on the 31st! She just accepted a job out there; so no more E.L. for Steph:(



crazy...

I found a new internet game that I'm addicted to. It's called Cowmaze. There is also a Cowmaze 2. I already beat the first one; it has 42 levels. It's all in some language I don't know, but it's easy to figure out how to play. Just place the arrows on the gameboard with your mouse to guide the grey cow to the trophy! It's a great time waster.

i'm out! peace! goodnight.

Dream Invasion

I had a crazy dream last night...I was working at some sort of grocery store that looks similar to Busch's Valueland in Saline. I was working with Nate Cummings (a friend from Hish School) and a bunch of other people. Then all of a sudden we were all being led out of the store against our will and we ended up at this huge lake with a dock and there was this huge flying ship hovering over the dock and people were being lined up on the dock and the beamed up into the ship in groups. My friend Nate and me got beamed up together, but when we got into the ship, the people in charge of the ship told me there wasn't enough room for me and they were escorting me back out. I looked at Nate and felt so bad that he was taken. They were putting everyone in their own cells with bars on them. Then the next day at work, Nate was there again, but he seemed really uneasy and told me that they were taking him back on the ship again at night but it was a secret. Somebody asked him if he wanted to hang out that evening, and he looked at me really scared-like, because he didn't want anyone to know. That's about it... It really creeped me out. It was very scary and it kind of reminded me of the show Invasion. The peple on the plane seemed different than regular humans even though they looked the same.

Salad Spinner

I bought a new salad spinner at Williams Sonoma today. It works really well.

Elfie's been helping me with my research lately...
