oops

God....5 minutes ago I just remember I had a blog. I just simply forgot.

I am writing my thesis now...which is going well...but I guess that is the writing that takes priority.

Things are good.

oh wait...you don't have a Shark hanging over your fireplace.......?

Somethings just seem normal to me.....and until others point out the oddness.....then I start to ponder but do not change....


VOG ....your on the same page.....I know. ;)

Speak N Spell

I found a website...that well doesn't really help me with writing my thesis but is great at wasting time and brings me back!!!!


This was my first impression I did ...the Speak n Spell voice and with great success (hell I can still do it)!!!! My impression of the Speak n Spell killed in elementary-high school.....

I was showed my friends here.....who are from non-English speaking countries and they could never understand what the hell the speak n spell was asking them to spell........I had to keep yelling out the word.

Finally one of them said, "How the hell did you (kids) learn English from this thing?"

Me: "I don't know.....I don't know....but perhaps this is why I am great at understanding lots of different English accents..........."

Movies

Hi


I have been lucky enough to see some films recently.....trying to live up my student life style and discounts ;)

Loved Iron Man.....RDJr was great and I soooo want to see the next one PLEASE BE MAKING ANOTHER ONE!!!!! Housemate and BFFL ....SAJF....was not impressed although given that his pHD and background are in Steel/ Metals.....well he was critical.



Persepolis was great I loved it....a real treat! I love little girl Marjane! I liked the music (which thanks to SAJF, I know have).

Tonight we are seeing Indiana Jones !!!!!!! I am sooo excited and love the films. I have great memories watching these as a kid. Love the Geography lessons...with map and flying plane during the movies. I have told my friends that seeing this movie is important to me....and they need to keep that in mind. M has never seen these movies so I gave a seminar today about the previous films and with Youtube's help showed some classic scenes.....

---Like Knife vs Gun fight
---Snakes....why does it have to be Snakes.....

It was interesting to explain to M...

... this is me, " um yeah....so the first and third movies were Indy vs Nazis and the second was Indy vs mystical cults and child-slavery..... (Silence)...but this new movie is Indy vs the Soviets not the Nazis." (so there won't be any funny German Accents......which is good)

Can't wait!!!!

At Airports Meeting…./Pickup

I love meeting when a) I am met in the airport by family or friends and/or b) being the one to meet my friends or family at the airport.

Back in Feb I was sitting in Healthrow Starbucks waiting for lil Sis to get off the plane and I was watching people meet/greet each other. It is a nice thing to witness; people at both ends are always happy to see each other. I always like to make up stories about the people and where they are have been to. The cutest were these parents that were arriving and waiting for them was their little girl (maybe 4-5 years old) with her grandma. There was this rush of the mother and little girl to each other and big hugs and lots of kisses. …….. and I just lost it and started crying. It was soooo sweet and nice and it just made me burst out and cry.

I started laughing about how silly I was being and pulled myself together for when lil Sis arrived!!!!

Ok....

I have been very busy with limited time to sit down and type up entries.

I had been preparing for my final Departmental talk that you do in your third year.....it was two weeks ago and it went well!!! Great!!!

Now I am trying to get finished up in the lab and to get organized in my writing up.......

M is of course super that the organized and got me to write up a detailed outline/structure.....so now I just have to DO IT!!!!

I have a bunch of Back log blog entries written on paper, receipts, napkins etc.....
