new obsession

'glassbaby's are gorgeous, and i want a good number of them.  sadly can't afford them.

from ST (just made me laugh)

BATON ROUGE, LA. - The White House announced today that President Bush has successfully sold the state of Louisiana back to the French at more than double its original selling price of $11,250,000.

"This is a bold step forward for America," said Bush. "And America will be stronger and better as a result. I stand here today in unity with French Prime Minister Jack Sharaq, who was so kind to accept my offer of Louisiana in exchange for 25 million dollars cash."

The state, ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, will cost hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild.

"Jack understands full well that this one's a 'fixer upper,'" said Bush. "He and the French people are quite prepared to pump out all that water, and make Louisiana a decent place to live again. And they've got a lot of work to do. But Jack's assured me, if it's not right, they're going to fix it."

The move has been met with incredulity from the beleaguered residents of Louisiana.

However, President Bush's decision has been widely lauded by Republicans.

"This is an unexpected but brilliant move by the President," said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. "Instead of spending billions and billions, and millions of dollars rebuilding the state of Louisiana, we've just made 25 million dollars in pure profit."

"This is indeed a smart move," commented Fox News analyst Brit Hume. "Not only have we stopped the flooding in our own budget, we've made money on the deal. Plus, when the god-awful French are done fixing it up, we can easily invade and take it back again."

The money gained from 'T'he Louisiana Refund' is expected to be immediately pumped into the rebuilding of Iraq.

yay yay

what an awesome day!  we went into jersey and went apple picking for an hour and a half - walked out with a lot of apples (exact poundage to be determined when i get up and go weigh them)

SO fun, SO yummy

wish i had taken a camera!

so fun

the mayor came to shul friday night - he had a lot to say, spoke well, and probably won a few more votes than he had before he walked in.  although, don't get me wrong, i'm sure he had plenty before he got there.  it was a really cool experience.

am SO tired - couldnt' fall asleep last night.  my back is unhappy and the rest of me is suffering for it.

is it a bad thing that i can watch the breakfast club whenever it's on tv and *always* enjoy it?

"i'm gonna be an air force ranger, i want to live a life of danger".  yeah, i've always had a thing for those bad boys

and like that (snaps) we're off
to pick apples with the HIR youth group

woohoo!

ah, the music of it...

so, i finally got all my old music back.  back story is that i had all this amazing music on my computer and at one point copied it onto discs to transfer to my dad's mac to put on my ipod.  then my (HP) computer completely died cause the fan was malfunctioning.  i sent my darling laptop to them for fixin', only to have it completely stop working three weeks after i got it back.  when i sent it in i wasn't able to turn it on, and therefor unable to back it up (yeah, i should have been backing up all along, but i'm lazy). and they for some reason decided that the way to fix the fan was to WIPE my hard drive.

assholes.

so, along with losing all of my music, i also lost everything i'd written in school - poetry, short stories, articles, and an interview with mikey.

some of that i've dug up here and there, but the music was gone, the cds had been trashed by my parents' very effective cleaning lady.

then i asked my brother if he had actually copied all of those cds to his computer along the way, and he told me that not only had he done that, but his friends had burned them to a dvd.

after a few months of nudging (and being a bit of an asshole myself, thank you), i got the dvd from him.

the velvet undeground and atari tracks were mostly not functional, but i got just about everything lese back.  yay for music again!

so i'm now listening to the indigo girls for the first time in forever.  van morrison, MxPx, moxy fruvous, moulin rouge (those all have 'm's in them).  kid fears (with michael stipes) is one of the most powerful songs i've ever heard in my life. 

also, remind me in the future that people with herniated dics in their backs should not be moving furniture, nomatter how old the painter dude is.  cause he's just fine, and i've been in agony for 3 days.  RAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i really do enjoy roaring.

point system

point one - i really enjoy this free lancing thing

point two - when you go for a blood test and ask the person if they need more than one vial, and they laugh at you and assure you taht one is plenty, don't you have the right to be annoyed when you get a call that you need to go back because they do actually need more of your blood?

point three - i'm watching head cases, which i'll never see again after next week - hello VM!
