Real Life Conversation

By
Yesterday, at the wonderful cafeteria run by Dammy's workplace, contemplating the Reese's Peanut Butter Pie/Cake thingamajiggy:

Dammy: "I want to experiment. Let's eat the pie today and see if our weight goes up tomorrow."
(note: the day before we had had burgers, fries, and the same kind of pie and our weight had gone down)
Me: "Um, okay." (note: who can resist Reese's? I sure can't.)

Today, after the weighing:

Me: "I'm up a pound."
Dammy: "Yeah, that experiment didn't work."

mmmmm.... reese's pie. you have to indulge yourself in the wonderful things such as pie every once in awhile. depriving yourself from such is not good for America. If you don't eat that pie, Reese's looses money. If they do that, they'll have to fire the pie makers. Then that leads to unemployment rates because who wants to hire pie makers whose pies are not good enough to eat. so that family has to go on welfare which means the g'ment has to increase taxes to pay for the more people on welfare. this causes me not to spend money because i need to pay taxes. the economy is going downhill! so we either need to let that pie maker starve or we need to eat more pie. :)

Remember, one sample set is not conclusive enough to exclude other factors.

I say, eat Reese's pie every day for a month, THEN evaluate.

It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission....

“I get the Reese's candy bar, If you read it, there's an apostrophe. The candy bar is his.

I didn't know that. Next time your eating a Reese's and some guy named Reese comes up to you and says let me have that. You better give it to him. I'm sorry Reece, I didn't think I would ever run into you.”

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Werewolves are always better.

The question answering post will come tomorrow. Sunday was too busy. I just finished reading Twilight and New Moon . When I first started Twilight I wasn't impressed, it seemed slow and bleh and very teen dating girl story. Last night I got home at about midnight... I picked up New Moon. I was only going to read the ending to the scene that starts in the back of Twilight.... I didn't get much sleep last night(due to finishing New Moon). I'm loving the series. Although, wow these vamps scare me. Why? Because they are harder to kill. After reading the first book I spent 20 min thinking of counters. For a counter to be valid it has to be balanced. I can't just say "I'm superman and Vampires are deathly allergic to me and I heal like wolverine and have a robot army." (although when I ran into the aliens from Alien/Aliens/AvP for the first time, my counter at the time was almost exactly that.) I came up with the Dancer. He's a completely normal ...

There be too much history.

By
For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...
