No way am I paying 4 bucks for a sodie.

I had some free time on my hands this afternoon, so I decided to catch a midday matinee. By myself. Everyone else was at school or work, so I just went ahead all by my lonesome and remembered that I enjoy my own company. Sometimes it's nice to be reminded of that. Anyhow, in order to maximize my cinematic experience, I knew I would need a sodie, but not a $4 movie sodie. So I just did what any smart, sodie drinking girl would do and stopped at the Circle K for a $1.06 sodie with crunchy ice and stuck it in my purse. The only problem was that I didn't have anyone to fill me in on what happened in the movie while I was in the bathroom.

They think I'm a grown up or something.

I realized something at work today: I much prefer being call "Miss" to being called "Ma'am".

Call me crazy...

But I don't think 37 degrees is shorts weather. Even if the sun is out. I know it's above freezing, but really?

I saw 3 people wearing shorts on campus today and I just don't get it.

And I thought The Snuggie was bad.

Earlier this evening, I was innocently watching television when I saw THIS. Just to be sure it wasn't all a big joke, I called each of my roommates into the room to verify the ridiculousness. Oh, it's real alright. I thought for sure this was straight out of Provo, but then I was delighted to notice that it came from my very own hometown. As if K-Fed weren't proof enough that all good things come from Fresno, I introduce The Bumpit.

Apparently I sleep on my face.

I love taking pictures in the first 30 seconds of being awake and then posting them on the Internet.

Wasn't today exciting?

I don't care which party you're affiliated with or who you voted for, you have to admit, there is just something so awe inspiring about witnessing such a(n)* historic event.

*I know you use "an" when preceding a word that begins with a vowel or a vowel sound, but I never know how to use it with words like "historic". Any English majors/grammer gurus to help me out on this one?

Is it Monday already?

There were lots of fun things going on in Salt Lake on Friday night, but I had a cookie date in Alpine. It was a perfect evening spent with my favorite person.

Dumb blonde.

I hate when I live up to the blonde stereotype. And it probably happens more often than I'd like to admit.

Case in point: A few days ago my laptop fell off of my desk onto my chair (never mind the fact that I didn't exactly set it completely on the desk). Anyhow, I promptly picked it up and made sure that everything was still in proper working order. Everything was working except it wouldn't pick up the wireless signal. I tried everything I knew how to do to fix it which included turning it off and on and,well, turning it off and on again since that's about all I know how to do when it comes to computers. After doing the off/on routine a few more times, I decided to admit defeat and take it to a computer repair store. I got out of class early this morning and headed to the repair shop and this is what ensued:

Me: Hi, my computer slipped off my desk the other day and now it won't pick up a wireless signal (as I smile and try to be as pleasant as possible so he will help me).

Computer Genius: Let me take a look at it. Let's see, it might be because the wireless switch is turned OFF (at which point he flips it on and everything works just fine).

Me: Oh, uh, haha. Didn't know there was a wireless switch. Uh, Thanks.

Computer Genius: No problem (as I can see the wheels in his head turning and thinking, "Dumb blonde").

I almost wanted to justify myself and say, "Really, I'm not stupid. Promise. I'm a grad student. I'm not always a complete idiot." But I resisted, thanked him again and sheepishly walked out the door. As lame as I looked, I wish all computer problems were so easily ameliorated.

New year, new hair.

I just liked Natalie's and Whitney's bangs so much that I figured we're variations on the same face so why not try to pull them off myself?
