And I’m Back.

Filed under: Aside — Rachel @ 1:13 pm

Has it seriously been three (going on four) months since I last wrote?

Hm.  I guess it has.

Things just got a little busy.  Between classes, work, traveling, and studying abroad for three weeks in Copenhagen, I didn’t really have much time to update this blog.  But now that I’m back and starting to settle into my summer groove, I’ll hopefully be able to update more.

Unfortunately, this is all I have for right now.  I have other things to attend to.

P.S.

:(

:(

Aww…

Another Saturday Night

Filed under: Aside — Rachel @ 10:44 pm

So… plans for tonight fell through.  Now I’m sitting on the couch all by myself watching 300.  Somehow, I feel like there should be at least one guy in the room if I’m going to be watching this movie… Whatever, there are enough men in the movie.  Actually, come to think of it, 300 should really be considered a chick flick.  I mean, what kind of guy wants to watch a movie with a bunch of nearly naked men flexing their muscles and showing off their chiseled abs?  Yeah, it’s definitely for all the single ladies (all the single ladies!).

Holy ****!  He just stabbed that thing in the eye!!!

Oh yeah. It’s a chick flick.

Further proof: It’s got my man, Rodrigo Santoro (who was in Love Actually and LOST).

Boy you can take home to meet the parents.

"God-King" you can take... to Claire's where you can get piercings and cheap jewelry!

Maybe one more.

Oh yeah. Mom would definitely approve.

Oh yeah. Mom would definitely approve.

Wikipedia: My drug of choice?

Filed under: Aside — Rachel @ 12:11 am

Wikipedia is addicting.  Seriously.

After spending the better part of my day shopping with the roommate and cooking, I decided to have a nice, low-key Saturday night with my laptop.  It started with getting a little more caught up with “Heroes,” an addicting show in itself (if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend that you do).  Coming off my “Heroes” high, I then went on Wikipedia to refresh my memory of past episodes and characters as well as to see if I could get any new insights on the show.

What was supposed to be a quick stop at Wikipedia turned into getting lost in that beautiful website for two hours.  Starting Point: “Heroes,” Ending Point: “Kyrill, Prince of Preslav.”  Here’s a more detailed account of the Wikipath I took:

  • Heroes
  • List of characters in Heroes
  • List of comic book superpowers
  • Morphing
  • Psychokinesis
  • Eidetic memory
  • Sergei Rachmaninoff
  • Hyperthymesia
  • Clairvoyance
  • Psychometry
  • Pyrokinesis
  • Nora Zehetner
  • Eric Roberts
  • Mythology of Heroes
  • Baily’s beads
  • 9
  • 9 (number)
  • Naegele’s rule
  • Nine Unknown Men
  • 0.999…
  • 7
  • 7 (number)
  • White dwarf
  • Stellar classification
  • Tam Lin
  • Ganges
  • Vaimanika Shastra
  • Edward Bulwer-Lytton
  • It was a dark and stormy night…
  • Paul Clifford
  • Seven Sleepers
  • July 27
  • Adam Biddle (footballer)
  • Kyrill, Prince of Preslav

Man, Wikipedia is awesome.  I mean, look at how much I learned on a Saturday night when classes aren’t even in session.  Seriously.  Who needs college when I’ve got Wikipedia?

Today’s Feel-Good Story

Amazing. Simply amazing.

Read it and go, “aww…”

I am a genius.

Whilst perusing the Yahoo! homepage, I saw a headline that read, “Dolphins earn big fines for choreographed dance”. Upon reading that, I immediately thought, “Dolphins were fined for dancing?! How does that happen? Were they, like, doing some kind of show at a zoo and they got in trouble for it? But they don’t even have any money to pay off the fine…”

Out of personal curiosity and overwhelming concern for the dolphins, I decided to read the rest of the article, and you know what I found out?

Well.

I found out that…

Yeah, they're different...

Yeah, they're different

But hey, you can’t blame me for being confused and thinking that the cute dancing dolphins were the ones being fined. In this day and age, the media have reported much stranger things.

So there.
