Atonement=Being EFFED in the brain with misery.

Ok, this here is a double post from Earhart and myself on our adventures my first night in The Burque. GET READY!!

First off, Atonement may be the most depressing movie ever made. We can't even really go into it. Let's just say that someone gets flushed to death. Seriously.

After we left the theatre, which is located in a somewhat dodgy part of town we came across three fellows, each with a dog in tow. The following is the conversation, verbatim, we had with them:

Guy 1: "You ladies know where we can get some rock?"

Earhart: "Excuse me?"

Guy 1: "Some rock!"

Guy 2: "Crack!!"

Earhart; "Are you serious?"

Guy 1: "A rock the size of my ear!!!"

Earhart and Q; "Ummm...no."

Guy 2: "Hey, you ladies wanna come to a slumber party?"

Earhart: "Ok, you guys have fun with your dogs!"

Earhart and Q: "Go! Run!"

Good times, good times...

P.S. I ended the night by saying that I would in fact go see The Great Debaters, if someone bought me a pickle. I'm being completely serious.

in the new year

My suggestion in the new year is to get a copy of the CD my mom made me, which I titled Winter 07, play it at a comfortable level and dance it out in the kitchen while cooking and/or organizing.

no good deed goes unpunished

Um, I believe that's a track from the Wicked soundtrack, oh and also my life. I let this sweet gal from school use my apartment over the holiday while she dumps her cheating husband, however I'm dumb enough not to get her cell number.
What happens? The police call me, in Corpus 8 hours away, to inform me that my apartment has been broken into. Awesome. Nothing taken, just signs of a domestic disturbance - including a broken door frame. Merry Christmas!!

What?

Britney Spears' 16 year old sister Jamie Lynn is pregnant by her 19 year old live-in boyfriend? It's been possible to point at the fame Britney achieved so young as the reason for her wild and crazy ways, but now? Watch out Mama Lynne, the backlash is going to sting.

heaven?

Monday night I was having a very vivid dream. Like all my dreams a lot of people were involved. There was an obvious nod to my nerves about the final I had the next day. But then there was a shift . . .
First I saw the death of a girl on my soap, which is in fact going to happen. It has leaked that the character of Georgie will meet her death in the next few weeks. But here is when I question my location: I was talking to John Spencer (of West Wing fame, who past at the end of 2005). While we were talking I see out of the corner of my eye Larry Hovis, Larry approaches John and I and I introduced the two. I've never had a dream about Larry, but I think he was wearing the perfect Larry outfit, pale yellow button-up shirt with a green vest and a tweed suit. They carried on their conversation as I backed away. Did I dream I was in heaven helping people make friends?

Sandwiches

I believe sandwiches are personal, like salads and coffee. It's hard for me to make someone a sandwich if I don't know their likes/dislikes, if I don't I end up asking them about seven questions.
I happen to have a secret obsession with looking in other people's grocery carts, and in my heavy Subway phase of the past two weeks, I realized I also have a crazed fascination with what other people put on their subs.
I've been quite adventurous at the Subway recently which I give credit to my love for an independent sub shop here in Denton called New York Subs. It's one of those places that has sandwich choices and then a big wooden sign that says what they put on their subs - usually I would cut a few things or add something - but when I ate there I didn't. I felt adventurous, mostly because I ate a sandwich with oil and vinegar for the first time - which is good y'all!
Back to Subway, I usually get about the same thing there however I decided to get whatever the sub of the day was and try new things. So I have now tried quite a few subs - all with oil and vinegar and all while watching the person in front of me and behind me order their sandwiches.

Feed my weird hobby and tell me about your sub . . .
