Needles dipped in poo, lit on fire and stabbed in your nose. How's THAT for a title!

Once again, I take a moment from work to spout off nonsense.

To begin, I've gotten back in touch with Joelle, the lady that I helped teach and who got baptised. I must say that it feels incredibly good.

The semester is winding to a close and it's time to start thinking about fall semester. In a word it will be busy. Two 300 classes and two 400 classes. I also need to write an essay for the foreign language scholarship, and I'm not quite sure what approach to take... serious or a little on the humorous side. It's going to be decided by the foreign language teachers who usually seem like a quirky bunch, at least to me, so I'm kinda debating where to go. Also, do you think I should bring in baked goods... like a Gateau Basque? It's worth $700 which is about the cost of a class.

Also, I've been watching Flight of the Conchords on dvd that Beckie loaned us while Carpetbagging in Iraq. Watch. This. Show. You can get it on Netflix. If you don't have Netflix, I pity you. Seriously, get Netflix. And speaking of, Em and I just finished watching Season 4 of BSG (which we got on Netflix,) the series just ended, and I got through the whole thing with only learning one spoiler (albeit a big one) and so I anxiously await it's arrival on, you guessed it, Netflix. (Note: Netflix how about giving me some love, I said you name 5 times, 6 if you include this sentence. Netflix. (7))

So, moving along... Some people think Obama is a great speaker. Honestly, I don't get it. He;s really boring to listen to. And who cares that Michelle Obama hugged the Queen? We kicked them out of our country over 200 years ago, I'll hug the Queen if I darn well please! However, Canadia still must bow to her, the loyal subjects that they are.

Lastly, I'm finally going to say it. I am on Facebook and Twitter. As you can probably guess, I neglect these more than I do my blogging. I haven't tweeted in forever and Facebook is there just in case I need to get a hold of someone, really. Also, I'll be sending out my new email in a bit. It's time to retire the old hotmail account, or at least, use it for signing up on things. The other, I'm going to try and keep for personal stuff only.

I'm SO glad you like Flight of the Conchords. Aren't Murry and his attendance checks great? He kills me.

And there is a hilarious Daily show bit about the big to-do involving Mrs. Obama hugging the Queen and why it is against protocol. Basically, they claim the queen is a giant snake. If you can catch it on Hulu, worth your time.
