Tomorrow I fly to Kansas to watch my best friend get married. I know I’m only going out of town for 4 days, but I still feel like I have so much to do before leaving. Such as: >Shop for shoes to match my bridesmaid dress, a bigger memory card for my camera, and a book >Mail off a scholarship application >Put together the wedding gift >Pack >Watch a movie and return it >Play an indoor soccer game >Work for approximately 6 hours tomorrow And sorry to cut this short, but I think I am going to leave class early right now to go start on this list!

One Way To Stop Traffic

May 26, 2007

Yesterday I was on my way to pick up my boyfriend from the airport when I ran into some traffic. I was on the feeder road inching along, but I noticed that the traffic on the freeway wasn’t moving at all. I turned on the radio to hear the report, and this is what it said: “All lanes are blocked for cleanup on I-10 east at Wirt road. There has been a spilled load of animal parts.” What a lovely image.

Things I Dislike

May 24, 2007

Well, this list was actually quite hard to come up with. I like to think it’s because I am a very positive and optimistic person.

May 22, 2007

> I just signed up for a Flickr account, so if you have an account as well, add me as a contact! >I really appreciate Chick-fil-a’s fruit cups because they don’t have any melon in them. I dislike melon. I also think putting melon in a fruit cup or fruit salad is a cop out for restaurants because it takes up so much room. >I was driving yesterday and I saw this sign outside of a church: “CH–CH. What’s missing? UR.” I’m all for a clever sign, but I don’t know how I feel about this one. >The best news I’ve heard in a long time? “We don’t really do care plans in this class.” I love psychiatric nursing already!…

The Weekend’s Hap-PUN-ings

May 20, 2007

Yesterday, for the second year, my roommate Carmen participated in the World Championship Pun Competition in Austin, TX. There were two events. The first was called “Punniest of Show” in which the contestants (32 in all) performed a 90-120 second monologue and were rated on a scale of 1-10 by four judges for a maximum of 40 points. I am proud to say that with a score of 39, I now live under the same roof as the second-place winner! Here’s a clip of her presentation: You can read the entire transcript here. The second event was a tournament in which two punsters went head-to-head. They would receive a topic and go back and forth punning off that topic with…
