rah rah sis boom bah

good bye 2006, i didn't much care for you.

here's to 2007!

my band is playing at a party tonight. I just found out yesterday...let's
see how it goes...hmm

this is a really fun game

here are some real words/movies and made up definitions/plots from my
siblings:

saptulamancy: when a man has intimate relations with a tree
Big Meat Eater: a t-rex accidentally wonders into Professor Winston's
time machine and wreaks havoc on a meat packing company town

today i found a dollar in the pocket of a jacket I haven't worn for a long
time.

*sweet*

also days get longer from here on out. which is great, considering the sun
sets at like noon here.i feel like i'm living in alaska with this constant
darkness...

well well well

i guess no one else thought the mike cheese/tofu incident was funny. well
whatever, you guys.

it is funny. it IS.

my baby brother is TWELVE YEARS OLD TODAY. he is almost a teenager. this
is insane. totally insane. i can't believe he is that old. i remember when
he was zero.

WHA' HAPPUN?

(this is something I quote a lot "I don't think so!" but no one else seems
to ever get the reference...)

my sense of humor is lost on you people...seriously.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE BABY BROTHER

scene: i have just made pasta salad and mike is eating some

mike: the tofu in this pasta salad is really good.

me: that's because it's cheese.

--your pivot tables contain so much data they repeatedly crash your
computer everytime you try to do something

--you are, of course, doing these tables at the last minute so the
computer crashy thingy is really really not an option

--you BLOG ABOUT PIVOT TABLES SERIOUSLY GET A LIFE

--YOU KNOW WHAT A PIVOT TABLE IS YOU ARE A LOSER

--i am seriously surprised you don't live in your mom's basement.

RUN

so yeah. cool. awesome. i'm going to make a list.

-december is the worst month for people on stipends. Of this I am quite
sure. It also appears to be the worst month for servers and Mikes.

-I started eating some seafood. I just felt like it's time and my body is
telling me something. So far I have enjoyed:
scallops
imitation crab
real crab
fillet-o-fish (may have caused major allergic reaction, not eating again)
tuna casserole
salad dressing with anchovies in it (was not good)

I'm taking it slowly. some things still look really gross to me (for
example, shrimp). so far my favorite things were tuna casserole
and crab rangoon--which tastes like fair food as far as I could tell.

-we are starting to get gigs after sending our CD around to all these
venues. It is slowly happening, but I am really psyched. this is one of
the most fun things i have ever done. Playing in front of other people
makes me really nervous but we are working on our KISS-like moves. so you
know we don't look like kids at a guitar center recital or something.

-we also have a myspace so if you're not our friend yet ADD US NOW DUDE.

-i just found out yesterday what kinds of non-academic jobs people with
PhDs can have. I guess i will finish school after all. i want to make, as
the lady said, "buckets of money" working for coppertone ads or something.

why don't you work out for me? make my life easier here, dude. help a
sister out. srsly

today's not-at-all recommended product:

ZICAM

possible side effects include:
heart racing and pounding
face swelling and turning purple
feeling like you're in an oven
lips swelling like some kind of weird fish
throat closing
people looking at you and saying "you don't look so good".
trip to emergency room

my advice: stay far away from ZICAM, especially if you want to keep your sense of smell
