But Its Better For The Flow...
I am moving into my new apartment on tuesday, so i thought it would be a good idea to start packing. i know, crazy right. Well the problem with packing is that my room is really small. I knew it was small before but damn. Once I get a box set up (great thing about working in a stockroom, boxes galore!) there is very little room for me to get around the box and then when it is full, no place to put it so that it isn't blocking a door or drawer or something and thus preventing any further packing. It's really messing with the flow as well as my productivity. I think I am just going to make a fort around my bed and declare war on anyone who dares to enter my room.
New Neighbors
Dave upon seeing the new people moving in across the street:
"Holla! The new neighbor is hot! Desperate Housewives comes to Denver!"
people are crazy. But here is a crazy religion that i hope will stand out against all the other crazy religions of today.
The California Raisins!
We are watching a video about the use of images, mainly those used by the media ro sell us stuff, well the video was made circa 1990. So the ads used, the tv footage used and the fashion statements are awesome! The music videos are my favorite.
added later: oh yeah. they referenced the "last presidential election" it was between Bush Sr. and Dukakis (sp?).
Core Comp 2030
The thing about weekend classes...they are so damn long! I am only an hour and 20 minutes in and am losing my god damn mind. It's a writing class, we don't really do anything. My professor sounds like the teenage kid that works at Krusty Burger in the Simpsons (which is funny for the first hour of the first day, but after that, not so much.) He likes to go off on tangents which may be the only way I survive this class.
Only 3 and a little over 3/4 sessions to go.
I Did Not See That Coming
itunes has this new feature where, based on things you've bought, it reccomends albums and songs to you personally. When you pull up this feature you have several options, "Already Own It" "Don't Like It" or listen to the album. I clicked that I already owned Bright Eyes "Letting Off The Happiness" a few pages later I got this "You own 'Letting off the Happiness' we reccomend: 'Just don't give a F*@!...' by Eminem" I must say, I would have never thought my Bright Eyes collection would yeild me an Eminem reccomendation without there being some variation of the phrase "your music is crap, you should listen to this. They're my favorite" attached to it.
In The Navy.
Curious Coffee is in the base of an office building. In the building the Army, Navy and Marines all have offices. A few weeks ago my one co-worker forgot here CC shirt so was wearing a free shirt the Marines had given her. One of the Sargents in the Army saw it and started giving her a hard time. Naturally she fought back with "well you don't care about us! You never bring us anything!" Ten minutes later he returned with an armload of "Army of One" shirts, threw them on the counter and casually said "You don't know where these came from."
At that point we decided to pit the Army, Navy and Marines against each other and see how much free stuff we could get out of the deal. So the Army has given me a shirt. The Marines, the are just damn polite. I was taking out the trash like 2 weeks ago, as I walked back to the coffee shop two Marines were walking behind me, when we got close to the door they both jumped in front of me, each grabbed a door and stood at attention. Damn.
The Navy, the navy is in a league of their own. (HA! fuck that was funny. sorry.) One day they brought down two bags full of stuff for us. Flashlights, 4 different kinds of pen, sun glasses, coffee mugs, pins, mini footballs. About five of each item...with the exception of the flashlights. Of those there were only two, one of which I promptly stole. Well the same co-worker who had given the Army crap took the opertunity to give the Navy a hard time. A day later she goes outside to talk to one of the sailors on their cigarette break about our lack of flashlights. 20 min. later Carl (one of the nicest guys EVER!) comes down with a bunch of flashlights "You just had to have them didn't you? Why didn't you ask me? I would have gotten them for you. But you had to go yell at the commanding officer! He came back from his break yelling that the girls in the coffee shop want keychains. Well the keychains were locked in ---(I don't remember the guys name) office. He has the key and is out of town. He made us search the office for flashlights for you guys!" Those Navy boys, going above and beyond the call of duty.
Today is apparently the Navy's 230th birthday, so Carl brought us cake!
I'm Amazing
It's amazing what you can do in a week. This week I signed the lease for an apartment, officially declared my major with the university, was informed by Opal that she wants to quit and that would mean full time for me at Ann Taylor and would allow me to leave Curious Coffee, I actually did my homework, for both classes! (ok, so most of "Things Fall Apart" was read on Pinkmonkey.com, you can't win 'em all) and finally got around to finishing all the bank account nonsense my grandmother sent me in like July.
The Place of the Nude in Art
Get naked, see art for free in Vienna.

VIENNA, July 31 (UPI) -- A Vienna art gallery says there's no trick up their sleeves -- come nude to the Leopold Museum's new exhibit and get in for free.
The deal marks the opening of The Naked Truth, an exhibit of early 20th century erotic art.
The works created a stir when they first came out and the art gallery is hoping to recreate a controversy.
that is just one reason i love vienna.
pay attention

The number of people I have found in this class while browsing myspce profiles that are curently logged on, 7.
Litebrite!
holy crap guys! I was on one of my midnight runs to queen soopers when i discovered something amazing! Litebrite pumpkin kit! Thats right, its a little light you put in the bottom of your pumpkin (which apparently changes colors. how exciting!) and a bunch of little plastic pegs to decorate with. Why am I just finding out about this now?
