Hello internet. Not much happening today, had a light day as most Mondays - after classes went back to Garf to pick up a few things (like my Presidential Seal M&Ms, West Wing DVDs, The Great Gatsby , a Seal of the State of Ohio, and an ironing board among other things. David bought an iPod touch with his own earned money from work! >/ I am not happy. This whole "getting an education" thing is suddenly seeming annoying. But before my day went a tad bit sourer, this morning I woke up and while wandering the internet found THIS awesome website that produced the following pictures: Omg, that's so awesome! Lol, its Barack Obama's inauguration - in LEGO's! Also among pictures I found while wandering today, behind the scenes images from Heroes : Elle, from the episode she's killed in. The funny caption for this image is "Dear Diary, its been one of Those days..." OH! And can I just disclaim my disagreement with the decision to move Heroes , who...

As I'm sure we all remember from elementary school social studies, each state has two Senators. Currently, Ohio is represented by Senators George Voinovich (R) and Sherrod Brown (D). Well, Sen. Voinovich has announced he will not be running for reelection in 2010 - so you can imagine the Democrats are eager to win the seat! The race is basically down to two Democrats for the primary, of who will face the Republican in the final race. The Republican, by the way, is Rob Portman - President Bush's former budget director ( [cite] .) The two Dem's are: current Ohio Secretary of State (of the State) Jennifer Brunner ( Brew-ner ) and current Lieutenant Governor Lee Fisher (ie: Vice Governor). Fisher is receiving alot of important endorsements, such as from Governor Strickland and Mayor of Akron Don Plusquellic (along with plenty others) but Brunner is definitely showing more momentum among the volunteer base. If she won, Brunner would be the first woman Senator from Ohio - but obv...

So as I have mentioned, I occasionally follow several blogs devoted to following the career of Hillary Clinton (such as All Things Hillary , Secretary Clinton , etc.) And occasionally they post a "pic-spam" which is just bunches and bunches of pics from an event or dinner or something, often with a bunch of pics of Hillary. Well, I like to occasionally post pic spams of random things I find lying around my computer when I'm trying to clean it (metaphorically speaking of course.) ROFL! Points to Patsy for sending this to me, but I get a kick out of the fact that the first thing Mike thought of when he saw this was me too. Here we have someone's Post Secret card from the popular book series and website , that's updated daily ala` FML: ----------------------------------- ^Bonus features of my TV show: another look at the Birmingham trip, 2009. See what didn't make Facebook. Here's the Africa room of the Birmingham Art Museum. ^Here's an interesting wee bi...

AAhhh, I hate this feeling -- I'm of two minds. There's the simple, emotionful human part and the "outside looking in, command center" part of me that performs logical thought. Right now the logical one is writing the blog. The emotional one hates this feeling -- I get rarely, every couple months maybe, when it just gets hot. And I get irritable when it gets too hot. It's 70 degrees outside in Akron at 11:28 at night but in my room its reeaally hOooot. And I am not comfortable. I can't sit still - and there's this disturbing paranoid feeling that I need to get something done now. I'm definitely going to sleep early tonight. I just, this annoying sensation, its hot, and I'm not comfortable, and I need to get something done right now, and I have so many worries, and I can't sit still. The logical part of me is saying: slow down. All will be well in time, you'll return to normal, but its curious that you go through this occasionally. I rememb...

Haha, so success of the weekend: beating Portal at Sarah's. This game is so simple but incredibly awesome!!! In fact I'm dedicated this whole blog post to it! I'll try to summarize, and oh,... If you in your life plan to play this incredibly awesome game, which I recommend you doing, and want to be surprised by the ending do not read this post. But most of the people I know don't really care, so here we go. *********SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! *************** "Portal" is this video game where you wake up in a prison/science lab-y kinda room as the subject, and you quickly find a gun that shoots one end of a portal (the other end is predetermined) so you use these portals to find your way through mini-puzzles. The puzzles continue getting harder, and eventually you get another gun that can shoot the other end of the portal so you can create whole worm-holes on the walls. It sounds stupid, but its ridiculously awesome! Anyway, along the way you encounter absol...

Or ya know, my labtop. Happy Labor Day everyone! So I should be doing homework right now. Instead, I'm exploring things on my computer and making ringtones I'd been meaning to get to for some time. So I thought I'd dump a couple interesting things I found on my computer on my blog, so this isn't just a boring retelling of my daily life all the time but occasionally switch it up - like with my Black Eyed Peas survey thing. First up, we have some survey of what bird I was, I think? Then we've got a collage (incomplete) of Everything about me, I think. Mah interests. One of my favorite quotes from Silent Hill (this I think was the original one?) Me and Amanda joke about this alot. I am the fictional head of the "Dep. of Research and Development", and Kayla has at times been mentioned as the head of the Dep of Transportation, here' I've made a logo adding Lodging as well. Raaandom futuristic city picture I found in my "Pictures" file. You wan...

Lol, okay, so um - back in like 2006 I bought this Captain Planet T-shirt. And I like things that make fiction seem more real (so rather than getting, say, a shirt with the Planeteers on it, I got a shirt like the ones the planeteers wore!) Anyway. (I'm keeping this post brief.) So I'm at work, should be doing homework, but I'm watching The Real World: San Fransisco because Miami is no where to be found on the internetz. (Real World San Fran is set in 1994 btw.) And making fun of all the 90's things on it. And I'm sending these making-fun-of-ities to Sarah on AIM. And a guest comes to check in, and I do the check in thing, and he's like "Is that a Captain Planet shirt? That's AWEsome!" and he goes on his merry way. So I send to Sarah: Captai*Halliwell (3:11:35 AM) : Haha, "Is that a Captain Planet shirt? That's Awesome!" - guest. "Sarah" (3:12:08 AM) : Oh 90s, how i miss you so! Captai*Halliwell (3:12:26 AM) : LoL, no...
