MY PRECIOUSSSSSS...
| Three cheers for Smeagol everyone!
Thanks to The Lord of the Rings, I actually got some work done today! Yes, the gang decided that they wanted to watch the first two The Lord of the Rings DVD's today, and so, I, having seen them already, was able to sit and listen while grading papers for 7 hours. That would be 7 hours that I had no intention of using for doing work. That means I am 7 hours ahead of schedule! Yay! But, I must say, there is something about the name "Smeagol" that I like. I can't stop saying it. I won't ever call him "Gollum" because that, to me is no fun. He's Smeagol. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 1:43:00 AM |

YOU'LL FIND ME IN THE STACKS
| Whew! I hope everyone had a terrific holiday season--excluding of course, the impending New Year's celebration. I enjoyed my Christmas tremendously this year. The annual exchange was quite excellent, seeing as how the majority of my friends bought me (Yay!!) BOOKS!! Woo hoo!! Yes, I took home quite an abundance of reading material, not the least of which were 2 new Buffy books--Bite Me, by Nikki Stafford, which may very well be the authority on the show (even more so than The Watcher's Guides...although it is only current through season 6), and the new little book, The Quotable Slayer, compiled by Micol Ostow and Steven Brezenoff (Geez, now people can get credit for being a "compiler"?), which is a pocket guide to all quotes Buffy. Eeexcellent. [/Mr. Burns impression] Amongst the other recent acquisitions to my collection: Toni Morrison's new book Love, the collections of Best American Essays 2003, and Best American Short Stories 2003 (I just love these books, and this year, the Essays collection features one by John Edgar Wideman, prize-winning author and father of one of my all-time favorite women's basketball players, Jamila Wideman). Also, the Book of Positive Quotations which I used to use in school, and at one point owned, but somehow managed to lose, has now been replaced by the Suz (she's the bestest), and has been joined in the ranks of my quotation books by The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember, which was on my list of must have's. Yes, throw in the assorted CD's and DVD's (although, I was terribly excited to receive Ellen DeGeneres' Here and Now HBO special on DVD...she's so damn funny, and I got to see her both times she toured in the area, so this is a reminder of a great time that was had), the Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture DVD game, and even a real, honest to goodness Charlie in the Box from Rankin Bass's "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," and that about sums up the gift exchange between my friends and I. More importantly, though, was that as usual, we had a blast on Christmas Eve night, just hanging out, playing some games, and having a few drinks. In the meanwhile, there has been lots o' goings on since our very own G.I. Joe (a.k.a. Jeff) is home for a few weeks before shipping off to Iraq. The Suz, Jeff, and I went to see the new Lord of the Rings: Return of the King yesterday, and it was spectacular. I shall now retreat to bed, and then, return at some point within the next few days to post before this vacation is over. *sigh* And to all, a good night. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 2:19:00 AM |

EJ-YOO-KAY-TUD
| I know it's been a while. But I have been über-busy again. After all, it is the holiday season.
Just wanted to share a fun little tidbit I saw today as I was checking my referrers. Someone actually did a search for this: "Mary-Kate & Ashley have chosen to go to collage" Perhaps someone else should consider that same option... But, I had always heard that they were quite talented at decoupage... ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 6:18:00 PM |

SMOOTH SAILING...SORT OF
| Isn't it the greatest feeling to have a smooth drive home from work?
On my way home from school today, I was noticing that since I left quite late (it was almost 6 pm), the traffic heading in my direction was far lighter than normal. What a pleasant drive, I thought. No crawling along at a snail's pace. No sitting and waiting forever at lights. Lovely! Then, perhaps because I was in such a good mood, I noticed that I hit every single green light on the way home! This was momentous! I looked at the clock when I was about 5 minutes from home, and I saw that the light traffic and the perfect timing on all the traffic lights had knocked a good 10 minutes off of my commute. All was right in the world! Until... Traffic came to a screeching halt, and then picked up to a slow crawl when I was about 5 minutes from home. Don't you just hate it when you get caught behind a Mennonite horse and buggy on the road? I know I do. And, no, I am not kidding. The horse and buggy were what was holding up the traffic. The perils of living in Amish country. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 10:31:00 PM |
