Chad just asked me what I ate for dinner. Four King's Hawaiian Honey wheat rolls, a bagel with butter, one Russel Stover's chocolate (rasberry cream), and two girl scout cookies (the caramel ones that come in the purple box).
He says that's not dinner, and I need to eat some real food.
You know that Hardees commercial, that has the girl wandering through her house, eating random food, and it says "You know those days where all you feel like eating is a gallon of rocky road, some chocolate, a big jar of peanut butter, and a whole lot more chocolate"? I feel kind of like that today.
But I guess I should find some food. Real food, whatever that is.
grrr. So. I was watching the news today, and they (CBS) had a big special on how Bugs Bunny, along with the rest of the Looney Toons, are getting a makeover that will "bring them into the 21st century." They said it hit the blogs today, and was the topic of discussion.
I can't find it. The only mention of this thing I can find is a paragraph in Dan Rather's preview of tonights news broadcast. Not an article on cbsnews.com, nothing crawled by google as of yet... no slashdot. nothing. I would like an alternate source. And some pictures. Grr.
Edit (11:15pm): The story broke in the Wall Street Journal. So like a dork, I had to drive to campus and get one (the business students all get them, and Chad didn't get his today). The new "Buzz Bunny" looks like Batman. The animated Batman. Scary. And dark. Aparently, the story is the Buzz and his crew (the Looney Toons gang, redrawn and renamed) will fight something (evil? good?) as a team, and the show is supposed to be set in like, 2775 or something. The goal, they say, is not to replace the originals, but to liven them up and make them more modern (and increase ratings). It'll be interesting to see what everyone else has to say on this, when I can find more internet sources :-P
Yay for Valentines day... Chad and exchanged gifts, cards and chocolate yesterday, but we're doing the whole dinner / possibly mushy movie / general romanticish type stuff tonight (so if I don't answer my phone, I'll call you tomorrow...). But yeah. Chad liked his gifts, and I really liked mine, so it was all fun and awesome. Yay for fun gifts.
In other news... there really isn't much other news. I'm mostly caught up on homework... mostly caught up on sleep... Chad and I only have like, 7 DVDs left before we finish CSI, which will be very sad, and we'll have to find a new show to watch obsessively. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do in December when I finish my Masters... I managed to add several possibilities to the list of options, though, which I guess is something. Chad keeps reminding me that, if nothing else, I can take up watching soap operas and eating BonBons. *rolls eyes*.
I have, however, taken up watching the evening news. It turns out (according to CBS), people who watch CSI make better jurors. So... By watching CSI, I'm doing my civic duty and preparing myself for jury duty. I love America.
Michael Jackson has the flu. Or something. And went to the emergency room. On the way to court. I think that he's pushing things... delaying jury selections, delaying the trial. But maybe he's not that smart... He is calling Kobe Bryant as a character witness. Yeah.
And omg... civilian inspectors aren't allowed into Top Secret government areas... I mean, I bet they don't even let most people who have tope secret security clearance waltz through there... it's like that part of the laboratory is on a need-to-know, need-to-access basis. Amazing. What is the world coming to?
Mississippi News for the day: Dante Walker was sentenced to 22 years in prison yesterday. A couple of those are for possession of marijuana, but the bulk were for possession of cocaine. He was playing some ball for Birmingham (I was actually unaware the Birmingham had a team), and is apparently fighting the conviction.
I'm just glad they didn't let him off because he played football. I mean, really. In SEC world, it happens way too often.
Other world news: Apparently, North Korea has Nukes. They have them, not because they really want to rule the world, but because the US is oppressive. So the big question of the moment is... are we going to oppress them, and take their nukes away? Or stand down, and get nuked?
Actually... the question of the moment seems to be (I'm watching the CBS evening news)... What would Diana think of Charles marrying Camilla? Which is, of course, the only question that matters. Here's my answer: She would either do what everyone else in England is doing, and smile through her teeth and say she hoped they were happy... or she would tell us all what (I think) she really thought, that he should have married Camilla in the first place, and then we wouldn't have to deal with all this "Princess Consort" shit.
The world. Is a mess. But at least the Pope is back in the Vatican. Something, if only one thing, is in it's place, and makes sense.
Blah. Getting somewhat better... I probabaly won't die. Not doing great though... everything wears me out. I'm actually fixing to take a nap. Yay. But first... before I forget them...
Quote of the day (yesterday):
I grab my war mace and head toward the tent. If they were worried, it must have been some big fucking rats.
Quote of the day (today):
So if you found yourself, what exactly would you do with you?
good news (despite the fact that I'm still sick)... Landon Isaac Mihalik was born Thursday, and news and pictures have just reached us here in Starkville. Congrats to Mike and Courtney, the first of way too many people having babies this month. All boys, too... weird, no?
Professors that let you make up quizzes that you miss due to dire illness rock.
For some weird reason, my turn signal ticks faster when I accelerate. Is this really as odd as I think, or does everyone's do that and I've just never noticed?
Greeting someone with "Aww, sweetie, you look like shit." will not make their day, nor will it make them feel better in any way shape or form.
That's it for the moment, I guess. Maybe more later.
Blah. Anyone heard of some weird virus that makes you puke for 24 hours, and then make you cough and sniffle and be miserable for another 24+?
Cause that's apparently what I have. We're like, 20 something hours into the coughing and the sniffling. I went to the Health center this morning, and they screwed around for a while... I actualy saw the doctor at (who wasn't the one with the spider fingers that can't type, and wasn't the other annoying one, but wasn't my favorite either) for like, 45 seconds, in which time she poked my belly and listened to me breathe... and informed me I have a virus. Thus, she can't do anything for me. So she gave me a decongestant (not sudafed), and told me to be on my way... with a 15 second trip to the lab for a strep culture. Fun.
So I actually missed both of my classes yesterday. I left the house long enough to turn something in. And then came home and went back to bed. Pretty much stayed home all day. Which would have been nice, as I didn't really have much homework, except a) I felt awful, and b) the stupid dns server for northland cable was not working right, and I couldn't figure out how to make my computer point to ours, so I had no internet.
Speaking of servers... ours is up and (mostly) running... after all this time. Yay! We might move stuff over there before too long, after Chad figures out/ installs the passive ftp thing. Yay for us and stuff.
Anyway. I need to go find out if I actually have any more homework to do before tomorrow. Or something. And hopefully find some Tussin somewhere, to kill this cough (or at least suppress is slightly).
This is my brain..... in part, at least.
