*SNORK* @ neo!
Okay, my brit lit class now thinks I'm completely certifiable. Today we started discussing Chaucer, and we were discussing The Miller's Tale. I had my book open, and I glanced down at the page and these words jumped out at me...
"Teehee" quod she.
And my FIRST thought was, "TEE HEE, Chaucer said 'teehee'!!!"
And I choked on the biggest snork in the history of all snorkdom. And I couldn't even explain to my class what was so dang funny!
I nearly fell off the raised platform, tho.
Posted by: sharon share-alike | January 30, 2007 at 11:25 PM
BWAHAHA!!! Neo, would you believe that I didn't even notice the pervy potential of that until you pointed it out?
No, didn't think so.
But I didn't.

I just got an email from my brother in Thailand. It sounds like he's doing well and eating a lot of new things (including coconut and pineapple, which he wouldn't even touch before) He writes that two of his housemates:
had to go to Ubon for a leadership meeting and on the way back they picked up a back of fried scorpions, which I ate. They were those big black scorpions that most people think of when they think of scorpions, and they cook the whole thing. You break the tip of the tail off, and then take a big bite out of it, exoskeleton and everything. They weren't bad, but they weren't great, and they din't digest well at all. Also last night he made me eat something that he told me was rat after I ate it, but when I asked him what it really was he wouldn't tell me.
I think his Thai must be improving; his english is slipping.
My internet access (and phone) has been spotty the past couple of weeks and I think I'm going to call BYU to complain about the management and their handling of the situation. School's keeping me super busy, but I've completed a semester (YAY!!) and I think I'll finish this one too (double YAY!!!) *crosses fingers* but I'm having trouble with the depression again/still. I don't know yet what I'll do about it, but maybe it will go away on its own (not likely) What I really need is a close friend here in Provo, and I don't have one.
I do have plenty to keep me busy, and an infection to keep me up at night
(YAY! for antibiotics that should work within a week so I can sleep again!!!)
(((Kilties)))
*leaves piles of pillows, blankets, and cookies for the sleeping kilties*
Posted by: Sarah J | January 31, 2007 at 01:16 AM
SarahJ- I was just trying to get some of that kind of food today. I doubt anyone expected me to want it, so they told me, "We are closed."
Kind of sad. I want some Squid Jerky. And that scorpion stuff sounds great.
Rat that is eaten is usually not the rat we think of. They take care of the rats so that they are healthy. The same with dogs. If you see them, you would realize that they where, "Food Animals".
It has made me wonder what pig and cow look like naturally.

Wild pigs are not nice animals, and have sharp tusks, but they can't climb so it's easy to get out of their way, unlike mountain lions (I'm really not sure how I managed to get away from that one, mostly I just remember backing away slowly from the eyes glowing in the beam of my flashlight)
Wild cattle I'm not as familiar with, although I have heard a couple of theories as to why we don't see them anymore:
THEORY A- They were killed off because of their continual devastating raids on farmers' pasture weeds.
THEORY B- They hatched a cow-brained scheme to get organized and formed the group "Bovines for Easily Eaten Food" (BEEF)

Random remark of the day: I cleaned out my concealer brush with eye-makeup remover and it worked so much better today. I was amazed!
Yesterday we were playing "Loaded Questions" without the actual game (that you buy in a box) and made up the questions ourselves, but it was way too easy to guess mine. (the game goes like this- one person asks a question like "what's your favorite song," everyone writes his/her answer down on a piece of paper with his/her name on it, someone collects papers, reads answers, question asker matches answer to person) I'm so predictable! Everyone just said, "hm, never heard of that before, must be Sarah's" and guessed right, but the questions weren't fair to my tastes. Example: my favorite song is Bach's first Unaccompanied Cello Suite in G Major, BWV 1007. Definitely different from Sexy Back, or whatever else people put.

Hmmm...I'm sitting here at the Student Success Center waiting for my next appointment and watching through the window as lots and lots of snow joins the already fairly high piles of snow still hanging around from the last storm.

Posted by: sharon share-alike | January 31, 2007 at 02:50 PM
The Student Success Center. Is it named that for positive reinforcement? Serious question.
Posted by: Cookie | January 31, 2007 at 03:26 PM
Yes, I think that's part of it. We have lots of services here to HELP studens succeed in college as well...the campus Writing Lab, the Learning Center, Academic Retention Services, the Career Center, and lots of advisors. All of these services are paid for by student fees and tuition, so students can come here for "free" help whenever they need it.
I've been working here for many years now, and I've really seen how this place helps students. It's a great place. I'm assistant to the director of the Writing Lab, and I tutor undergrads, graduate students, and international graduate students with English as a second language. VERY challenging, but I love it.

OK, unscientific parent-type poll (parents, non-parents, future parents, and anyone else - please feel free to express an opinion)
my 8 year old daughter just informed me, in all seriousness, that she knows how to pee standing up, just like a boy
she's quite proud of this in fact...
should i:
(a) be proud and leave it be?
(b) pursue this issue further by askin for an explanation
(c) refer the issue to her mother?
(d) do what i did, which is smile an say: "oh, good fer you monkey"
Posted by: TCK | January 31, 2007 at 10:31 PM
a)
and
d)

ok, let me explain
when, oh, for example, you're out on the side of the road, or alongside a ditch, craWfishin, and nature, along with the
several beersliquid thirst quenchers you've had previously, calls, well, a gal's gotta do what a gal's gotta do. and it's actually more of a "squat" type maneuver, but you get my drift here, right?and this is all secondhand information, btw...

But as a female, my curiosity is piqued, so b. Find out and then let me know.

In other news, I'm watching the men's US figure skating championships. It's not new; it's been in my tivo for a week or two. But I haven't bothered to look up who won; I'm going for the surprise. I hope Evan Lysacek flattened that rat-faced ill-dressed ass Johnny Weir.

I have a friend who claims that as a drunk teenager she learned to effectively use a soda straw as toilet aid, IYKWIM. I still have a hard time believing it.
Wait, I don't mean I have a hard time believing that she'd try it. I know from experience that drunk teenagers will try just about anything. But come on. Drunk men can't hit the toilet, yet she expects me to believe that a drunk woman peeing through a straw can hit the target?

YES!!!! Evan Lysacek kicked Johnny Weir's cocky, conceited self into next week @ nationals. He had a near perfect performance. My tivo cut off the end of Johnny's program, but I saw enough to know he wouldn't win. He skipped his quad and a couple of combination jumps, then fell on a single jump.
It speaks of how much I loathe Johnny Weir that I cheered when I saw him fall. I always cringe when I see a skater fall, nice or jerk. I'm going to see Stars on Ice in Columbus with my sister this weekend. Can't wait to see Jamie Salé and David Pelletier skating live. They're not jerks, and they're awesome skaters. Yay!
