Overheard....

I wish I could make this stuff up.....

GIRL 1: You've been here, haven't you?
GIRL 2: Wait, where?
G1: You know, that one place with the faces... in the big rock?
G2: What?
G1: Here... this... (holds up picture on magazine)
G2: Oh... nope.
G1: I thought you went to that state?
G2: Montana? No.
ME: That's South Dakota.
G2: Oh... haha... I've never been there either!

The One Place with the Faces in the Big Rock:

This is HILARIOUS.

Enjoy!

R-O-O-D.

Sure! I'll use that in a sentence:
The words in the National Spelling Bee are rude.

Can you spell apodyterium?

What about herniorrhaphy?

Psittacosis?

Geusioleptic?

Conchyliated?

Passacaglia?

Acoirdupois?

Tagliatelle?

Omphaloskepsis?

Honestly, most of these aren't even showing up in the spell check.

Are these even words?!?!

Hope you're having a great week!

Baby Geese

Steve laughed at me for how excited I was to see the baby geese on Sunday night. After last night, I feel the need to be a little more specific:

Baby geese are cute when:

they are waddling past my back door while I am safely studying inside my apartment.

Shoot-it's even funny when Momma and Poppa Goose chase, hiss, and scare the crap out of the ducks!

Baby geese are not cute when:

they are eating right next to my front door.

Turns out it's not as funny when Momma and Poppa Goose chase, hiss, and scare the crap out of me!

Happy Monday!

Took a little study break today to catch myself up with Battle Studies. It just made me incredibly excited for John Mayer's next album. Then I decided to put together a little JM playlist to listen to for a little bit. It was going to be a "Best Of" playlist... but it's so long that it kind of defeats the purpose. This forced me to reminisce.

I think it's safe to say that John Mayer is my absolute favorite musician. You know when you can just hear a song and remeber exactly where you were when you heard it for the first time? The entire "Room for Squares" cd reminds me of high school. Sophomore year to be exact.

"Heavier Things".... summer of '06 in PHX. Just happened to come across it at the library. I had forgotten all about my good buddy JM from my high school days. This album reminds me of long drives to work... sitting in rush hour traffic... JM & I rekindled our friendship that summer.

Then came "Waiting for the World to Change" that same summer. Our friendship was strained as I tried to pretend that I didn't loathe that song. As a result, I had no interest in "Continuum."

"Continuum".... summer of '07 in DC. BP convinced me that the entire cd was nothing like that one stupid song and I decided to give it a try. I was floored. The cd is amazing. It was on constant repeat on my iPod. I continued this well into my senior year.

Summer of '08 was all about "Where the Light Is..." and then Dubs and I went to see him live... and he was astonishing. Absolutely amazing. The best part is that his band is comprised of these (sorry if I offend anyone) old, accomplished men. He jams with super-stars. While his wardrobe was unfortunate, he put on an amazing show! I was super-excited to re-live the experience when BP sent me the dvd for my birthday!

And then I was thinking... this is the way music should make you feel. It should be something that you can always come back to. It should remind you of good times with good people. And I love the feeling knowing that his new music will be associated with new memories.

What artists make you feel this way?

Here are my 20 top faves! Enjoy:

Overheard (again).

I stopped at the Kro-ghetto yesterday on my way back to school to pick up some flashcards. I was looking in the school supply aisle when I overheard the best pick-up line I've heard in a while. The old man was standing at the self check-out and a young Kroger worker-girl was helping him. When she walked over, the following conversation took place:

MAN: How are you today, Miss?
GIRL: I'm fine, thanks. How are you?
MAN: Not as fine as you are!

Don't Judge Me.

I joined Twitter today. I know, I know... like I need one more thing to distract me. Since Facebook totally messed up the Friends page, I feel like I need Twitter to fill the void in my life. I do not ever intend to "tweet," but I am super-nosy.

I am currently following 5 people. 4 real people & Ashlee Simpson-Wentz. Please send me your name or suggestions for more people to follow. Also, if it's a celeb and you know which one is really them, that would be super-helpful.

New Layout

I decided that there was too much going on. I decided to change the layout. It gave me something to do when I should be studying.
Let me know what you think.
