Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: “Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in an accident”
“OH DEAR GOD NO!!!” George W. Bush exclaims. “That’s terrible!!” His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the president sits, head in hands. Finally, the President, devastated, looks up and asks………. “How many is a Brazillion??!”
One day I was hella depressed at work. Like I think I was just having a bad day. Well we normally have the radio on at work for our interviewees, and as I’m talking to Pat online, all of a sudden, I hear Gorillaz’s new single. I mean, I had heard the song about 3 times earlier in the day, but never really thought of it. But I found the song’s title to be ironically appropriate, because for some reason while listening to that song, I started to feel better. Like literally, that song really IS Feel Good Inc. And now, it’s pretty much my favorite song. Haha, this post was so pointless.
No, surprisingly, I didn’t participate in the free photo iPod scheme, but I am very tempted to do the free xbox 360 scheme. The only problem is, there’s two versions of the 360 xbox–one fully loaded with ethernet connection, HD, etc etc, and the other not-so-fully loaded. I’m guessing they’re giving out the cheaper version, but I haven’t … confirmed that ;-). Actually, my impulse has already gone down, so I probably won’t even think about the 360 anymore until I see another damn ad for it.
Knock Knock!
Who’s there?

Little boy blue who?
MICHAEL JACKSON!
So, I have this thing where I get really confused on what time I need to get up when I go to bed extra early. Normally I’m passed out by midnight, but on those certain days when I fall asleep by 9:30, I have this thing where if I wake up in the middle of the night an hour later, I think it’s time to get up. This is especially true when the mornings get darker and I start waking up before the sun rises. This one time in high school I went to bed like at 9, and when I woke up a couple of hours later I totally thought it was time for school. So I was getting up and brushing my teeth and everything when my mom walks into my room and says, “Cheryl, what are you doing?” “I’m getting ready for school mom…” She gives me this look like, “Hon, it’s only 11 at night…go back to bed.” This defintely happened again last night, when I got a phone call. Damn, I was really confused. I use my cell phone as my alarm in the mornings now, since I was too lazy to setup my mini-shelf system. So my phone’s ringing, and I open it to see what the fuck was going on, and I answer and Chris is like “Hello? Were you sleeping?” I’m like, “what time is it??” “It’s 10:30. Go back to bed.” I was wondering why the hell he was calling me at 5AM before going to work. Needless to say, I definitely went back to bed and passed out.
Yeah, I’m gonna rub it in. I’m going to Puerto Rico next weekend!! By my stroke of luck, Randy decided to ask me to go owner’s R&R Weekend in San Juan. Unfortunately the only thing I need to pay for is my $530 ticket, which really isn’t all that expensive considering I bought it one week before flying. Yeah, it’s an all inclusive trip: free hotel room, food, drinks, events, etc. We’re staying at the Westin (check out the link), which is pretty freaking sweet. Needless to say, I am kinda depressed about hurricane Wilma spoiling my fun. I mean, I’m not going for the free drinks. If I go to Puerto Rico, I’m going for the fucking beaches. But if it does rain the entire weekend, I figure this will give me the chance to go work out, get pampered at the spa, and explore the rainforests. Right?
So we all know Harry Potter and Hogwart’s and Shyamalan’s The Village, right? Well last night, I had this crazy ass dream that started like one, and ended as the other. If we liken the four houses of Hogwarts (Slytherin, Griffindor, etc) to the fraternity houses at Rose…well yeah, I was at “my house” (Griffindor) and there was the Fiji house next door. I went to the Fiji house for something and then while I’m trying to get out…the doors get all fucked up on like different levels and stuff. Well I finally figure out how to get out of the building, and all these people are running around yelling “Where’s the counsel going? Why are they leaving?” The counsel is like, the head group of people at Hogwart’s, or whatever this place is in my dream. So a couple of people and I decide to wander off and look for the counsel, and we reach this baseball-metal fence, and on the other side of the fence is like, this main road (enter The Village). And we’re seriously out in the country in the middle of nowhere, so we try to climb the fence and everything to get out…and then I woke up. Pretty fucked up hunh?
I really can’t stand how Apple rolls out a new version of iPod every 3 months. I know this is just a personal issue, becuase I’m one of those people who wants to have the latest-and-greatest in everything. I agree that this is a smart move for Apple, because if they slow down their releases, then it gives their competitors a chance to catch up (thanks Stefan for the heads-up). I remember buying my 4th Gen iPod last summer, thinking I was hot shit cuz I had just gotten the newest iPod release….until four weeks later when they came up with that damn color screen iPod. Okay, I know that’s not factual, because the color screen didn’t actually debut until this year, but you get the idea.
Thanks to DP and is AIM profile, I found some…interesting (?) information.
mer·kin (mûrkn)
n.
        A pubic wig for women.
According to Wikipedia, “a merkin (first use, according to the OED, 1617) is reported to be a pubic wig, worn by prostitutes after shaving their genitalia to eliminate lice or to disguise the marks of syphilis.” Ew. Gross.
