And this is why I read the Wall Street Journal

The article I read today, "New Dealer, Same Deal" by Rob Cox made me crack up at one point. About a little more than half way through the article he says, "When things really hit the fan in the markets, chillax."

Chillax.


Awesome.

Random things

1) I checked the temperature before walking to school on Thursday of last week and it said it was -4. As a visual for how cold it was, here is a picture of my car door tied shut. It was so cold that the latch was frozen open on my door, keeping it from closing.



2) Overheard on campus: (sorority girl to another) "He said the only thing he hadn't done in a sorority was throw up."

3) Stacie's response to a commercial showing children trying to make orange juice with fresh (un-cut) oranges and a manual juicer: "Are these kids idiots? You have to fucking cut it in half first."

iPod

Well, I'm having some issues with my shuffle that I've only had for a few months. A week after I got it, I tried connecting it to switch out some of the songs I had on there, and it just stopped syncing altogether. I went to the Genius Bar, and they told me to do things I had already done. I decided to let it just sit for awhile and not be bothered, which seems to have worked. For the most part. Now it syncs, but not the newer songs that I've imported within, oh 3 or 4 months. Anyway, a friend told me to check out the forums on Apple.com and while doing so tonight, I found this one:

"Went swimming with iPod Shuffle in pocket

Appeared to be history. Let it dry for 4 days. Initiated charge; light came on. After an hour on the charger it was the moment of truth. Green light and works like new. Wish I could same for past experience with cell phone."

I <3 Apple.

Maybe I should start going to church

One of my favorite blogs is dooce.com. Today, I had my eyes opened to the wonderful world of church. You must check this out. It is worth it, I promise.

She's smiling, can't you see?

Well, thanks to all this wonderful, warm, 60+ degree weather we've been having, I was able to wash my car today! She (yes I call her "she") is so happy and sparkling. If you look closely*, you can see a pile of gross snow in the background that has yet to melt. Unfortunately, I believe it is supposed to snow tonight, so my clean car won't last that long. That's OK though, because for now, she's happy. And pretty.

* This picture was taken with my phone, thus the not-so-great quality.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Stacie and I just burst out laughing while watching the news because of this. Too bad my ribs are killing me from all the coughing I've been doing...

And in case you're confused, we were laughing at the one, named Kumari, on the left.
