a day in the life

"For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die."

Those of you who are my friend on facebook may have already seen this, those of you who just stalk my blog don't, either way, I'm saying it again. On my way home from work, there was a guy standing over I-94 with a sign that read, Ted, I will piss on your grave. Now, like him or not, he's dead. As a general rule, I don't think you should sling mud at people who can't sling it back. To say the least I was appauled and disapointed to know that there are people like that living in my city and state.

I also noticed on my bus home what another passenger was reading and was quite surprised. Apparently it's a series and seems to be fairly innocent. http://www.amazon.com/Virgin-River-Book/dp/0778324907 Caught off guard as I was, I thought it was pretty funny.

I cannot stand the movie Fargo because of the accents the people in the movie have. And also it led 90% of the country to believe Fargo is in MN and not ND. On Friday, we decided to watch New In Town, with Renee Zellwegger where she moves from Miami to New Ulm. I was immediately turned off because as soon as she gets to MN they are talking with accents like you have never heard before. Now, I will admit everyone once in a while you will hear a "you betcha" or a "ya" but it's not everyone and it's not constant. I must say, the movie was good, made me laugh, but the accents where annoying.

After watching the movie, I started to wonder, did people in Texas take offense to Varsity Blues? Did people in New Jersey take offense to The Sopranos?

Today there was a tornado that started out in south Minneapolis, brushed downtown, and ended up in north Minneapolis. I'm proud to say that I survived. Unfortunately, I was on the wrong side of the building in a meeting and didn't get to see anything :( It would have been the perfect view 10 stories up...so the streak continues, 27 years, no tornado sightings.

I got my passport after 2 1/2 weeks (4-6 weeks my arse).

I just heard that VH1 is brining back behind the music, couldn't be happier.

There were some really nasty bug like things under my plants today, pretty sure they are living in the dirt. Pretty sure I am going to have to find something to kill them but not the plants or I will not be brining my hibiscus back in the house.

I volunteered to work at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Not sure if it will work out, but it will be sweet if it does.

The AC is still broken, thank goodness for the cooler weather.

I went to King & I Thai on Saturday, was good but not as good as Chaing Mai Thai.

I have a headache from clinching my jaw when I sleep, bad news :(

One of my coworkers is going to Africa to volunteer for 6 months, totally jealous.

Sadly, I can't stop watching reality television, the latest stupid show to add to the list is the T.O. Show.

I'm thirsty.

I'm going to attempt to finish The Time Traveler's Wife before I go to bed. Probalby won't happen.

Today I was driving to Blockbuster and was at a red light. I was channel surfing and heard someone honking a horn. Finally I started looking around and this guy on a motorcycle next to me was honking at me and tells me my tire is low. So I'm like great and shake my head my smile. When I get to Blockbuster I check the tire, not low. It was kind of weird...
