Downright Boring.

By
You know, I thought my posts got boring when we started school. Grades, tests, random bits of interesting information, tedious recitation of our daily schedule. But then school ended, Damm went off to Basic, and life truly got boring. And so my posts are correspondingly boring. At least I feel like they are :D

June 10 & 11 we're going to Alberquerque to visit the zoo. The Orclette and I got our own hotel room so it's promising to be a pretty fun trip. I like staying in hotels-I associate it with the vacations and soccer tournaments my family frequently went on/to. I like going down to the continental breakfast that most hotels now offer and leisurly eating breakfast, drinking the usually non-drinkable coffee (but not drinking it is not an option. Coffee addict speaking :). I guess it's one of the few times I actually relax and shift into low gear. Go figure. Anyway, I have, on occasion, gotten a hotel room by myself simply to accomplish that relaxing. It's like going to a spa. Or taking a vacation.

Other interesting tidbits .... I Netflix'd "Eureka" because I don't think even I could handle going through all the Gilmore Girls' seasons a 3rd time without some sort of break. And since the Orclette actually watches the t.v. now and repeats things she hears ... I'm very limited in what I can put on. And I'm not watching children's shows. Sorry. They drive me nuts. We're just gonna bypass all of that. My aunt did the same thing-when her kids were allowed to turn on the t.v. it was the Animal Channel or the Discovery Channel or the History Channel. They're all pretty smart-the oldest one is going into public school (they're all homeschooled) so she can attend the Governor's School for the Arts. Or something like that. Now I just need to expand my cable so I get those channels, but Damm forgot to leave me his password to our account information.

And my Orclette woke up so I must go.

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...
