Hip hip... yay....

What a perfect day… a.k.a. yesterday.

1st off, my car broke down on the way over to Geoff’s and I had to get it towed.
Then I found out that my Uncle passed away.
Then, lots of little “fun” things.
And lastly, I got pulled over for speeding.

Yay, again… yay.

I HAVE PARKING!

I HAVE PARKING!

My whole pretty college life has been done on a satellite campus with big parking lots, guaranteed spots, and a maximum of five minutes walking time to and fro, but now… da da dum, I’m down on main! Well… for one class at least. Now with the scariness of gazillion students also comes the realization that they all have a gazillion cars and are probably not procrastinators and have already purchased parking permits the 10 days before class like they’re supposed to and that get them to spend insane amounts of money to park away from anything or anyone… but at least it’s somewhere. Now me…. I didn’t do that. I waited till the last possible moment, didn’t spend gobs of money, and somehow managed to get a really, really, good spot. And it’s mine! I’m so greedy. I’m going to be parking at a church that’s right near Geoff’s apartment (another good reason to have the spot). To get to class I can just walk past a few little apartments till I hit the main street, cross it, walk down past a few college halls, turn the corner, and there’s my class. Yay.

I HAVE PARKING!

Evolution in my textbook gave me Gonorrhea!

If it isn’t already known to anyone that reads this, let me just say, I’m not a religious person. I don’t believe in a higher power, and while I’m open minded, at this point in my life I consider myself a firm believer in the theory of evolution. And, despite the fact that I don’t believe it’s true, I am fascinated by religion. So, here’s a little site I feel I must share… still not sure if it’s a spoof site or not because what they’re saying is so incredibly ridiculous, in my opinion.

“Let us examine the "benefits" of evolutionary science in our textbooks.
SINCE 1963: (source-Wallbuilders,Inc 817 441-6044)
-Gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted disease, has increased by 226%”

Evolution in my textbook gave me Gonorrhea! Come one. Are they kidding?

“Evolution is key to corrupt forms of government such as communism and socialism.”

Evolution made my country communist and gave me gonorrhea!

“There is no evidence for evolution and we have never observed one kind of animal change into another kind of animal.”

That is total ignorance. Next I want to hear “Evolution says that you come from a chimpanzee, and before that, slime!!” Cripes. It doesn’t happen in just a few days! How can these people argue something they have absolutely no idea of? Ah, but at least it amuses.

I spoke to Geoff yesterday about his little excursion to Malaysia and heard that Firefly has reached Malaysia’s black market DVD ring. The entire series, extras included, is for sale for about two Sing-dollars.

Also, I'm in desperate need for e-hugs. I'll be crying in #firefly soon enough, you'll all know the news.

It’s perfect!

This little excerpt from the magazine Scientific American Mind sums up (for me atleast) the reason why so many people around the world have religious views (creationism) and/or are so closed off to the theory of evolution.

“One basic answer is that the theories promote a simple message. Whatever has happened, there is a single force--usually an evil one--behind it. Humans tend to drastically simplify complicated issues, reducing them to a lone cause whenever possible. This exercise brings order out of chaos; it makes a complex world intelligible. And once a person believes he understands how something works, he holds fast to this belief. Trust in a secret master plan created by a powerful organization offers simple cause-and-effect relationships that build along a linear chain of events. Chance and ambiguity have no role, which is comforting even in the face of sinister forces.”

Interestingly enough, this excerpt isn’t about religion at all, it’s from an article about conspiracies.

I’m in a better mood now…and all it took was a little personal serenade from Tony Orlando (“knock three times on the ceiling if you want me…”)and his band. He’s been in town all weekend for his “Santa and Me” show and they all stayed at our hotel. They were great fun. ‘Santa’, Michel Jackson, Toni Wine ( to know her think Elvis, Springsteen and the meow mix song), and all the other guys were great fun; Mr. Thompson, ‘Santa’, ho ho ho, being my favorite. As they we leaving yesterday ‘Santa’ told me to wait and not go anywhere. Well, okay. I stayed where I was, standing being the counter. Then the band came out, stood around the counter, hummed for a moment, then broke out singing "broken lady"(the song 'Santa and I had been talking about earlier that day). I was so silly and smiley. That needs to happen more often.

p.s. don’t google for “Michael Jackson Tony Orlando”, you’ll just get a bunch of gay porn. Unless you want that... but it's not even good gay porn. All pixely.

Also, it was -2 degrees Fahrenheit this morning when I had to go out in my knee-length skirt and slippers to clean off my car before work. I have yet to regain the feeling in my legs.

P.s. x 2 also, I've been put in charge of teaching the new opperation system at the Hotel and get paid for working at home. I just feel like I need to tell you that.

Ya-Gack

I was just reading the back of my Colgate tube (yes, as previously discussed, I have no life till January) and, in the tiny bitsy fine print reads: “Colgate-Palmolive company”…. are they saying that the same people that make my dish soap also make my toothpaste? Ya-gack.

Also today I discovered the joy in Tenacious D and I too wish to have the power to kill a yak, but I probably wouldn’t because they have big pretty cow eyes.
