What time does to the body

Skip to around 2:15, recognize anyone??



Idjit!

Heat wave

I turned into a puddle of sweat today!  The above drawing combines two things I love, Dali and the Simpsons.  I can't decide if I was more like Bart, Marge, or Homer today... I think maybe Marge.

LensCrafters plug

I went to LensCrafters today, the anti-glare film on one (that's ONE) lens was peeling really bad while the other lens was perfectly fine.  The sales woman (who is really sweet and helpful every time I go in) asked me, "Did you expose it to excessive heat?"  My reply: "Not anymore than the other half of my glasses..."  wah-wah  I don't think she was got what I was saying or maybe not paying attention to me because she didn't react in a "oh duh" way.  Anyway, they decided even though my warrantee lapsed (by 20 days) they will still replace both lenses at the warrantee price and make them with my new prescription if needed :)  Score!  That means I can use my insurance for contacts!

I love to singa...

This song has been stuck in my head for days!!!!


And it's all because of this Merry Melodies:


All because of a special feature on this movie's blu-ray.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

I miss my routine :(

I love this quote by Jim Ryun, "Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going."  It always inspires me to re-evaluate my habits and adjust.

Some things to think about:

Naps...again

I didn't feel like taking a nap today!  Maybe it's because I exercised in the morning.  I would like to do that, but then I'd have to wake up earlier...or go to work an hour later...hmmmm.....

Zzzzzzzz.....

Ahhh, the nap!  Such a beautiful thing!

Stress, balance, life

I have not been keeping my monthly resolutions.

Summer Solstice!!!

Today was the longest day of the year!  Although I usually remember the solstice, I don't actually do anything to celebrate it or observe it.  I've been interested in astronomy since I was six, though I would not call myself an amateur astronomer because I don't have that much zeal for it anymore (life and such), so I pay attention to astronomical events but don't always actively go after them.  This year was different.  I guess because I'm nearly done with my education, I've quit working for my psycho advisor (huge, HUGE weight off my shoulders...for another post), and I made LOADS of progress in my work this past week, I just felt in more of a celebratory mood.  So to celebrate, I went to a museum with beautiful gardens.  I spent some time in the exhibits and in the garden, had a picnic lunch, walked around the museum grounds, had tea.  I was there for six hours!  I love these long summer days :)  Afterward, another museum was hosting an evening summer solstice party with a DJ, hors d'ourve, cash bar, and the galleries were open.  Best part of all, the event was free!!!!!  The museum I went to during the day was also free!  I think my favourite part of the day was when I took a nap on the grass, soaking up warm rays of the sun :)  I don't know what it is about summer, is it that I was born in summer or that all throughout our K-12 years children look forward to the freedom of summer, is it the pools and swimming, the possibility that long days and short nights bring?  Well whatever it is, I think summer is my favourite season overall.

Observations and random thoughts

I hate it when public restrooms order the wrong kind of toilet paper, they order the gigantic roles when their holder is the normal kind you have in your bathroom.  Or even with the normal sized toilet paper there are the ones with the cardboard roll that has a small diameter and the ones with the normal diameter and sometimes they order the small diameter when they have the normal holder...their purchasing person really needs to check this stuff out instead of just going for the cheapest option.

Lessons from the Simpsons

Wow, I've been watching the Simpsons for almost all my life!!  Here's a post about the five lessons we can learn from America's #1 TV family, the Simpsons:

I don't know what to dooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't decide if I want to host a summer solstice party or just go to a summer solstice event.

Hosting

Pro:

Hosting a party would be fun

Con:

But the solstice is on a Friday this year and everyone would be coming from work

So that would mean it'd have to be in the evening...summer solstice should take advantage of light

And hosting would be a lot of work

Going to an event:

Pro:

No work

Con:

Researching them

I kinda want to host :-\  but I don't want to do deal with the cons above

I'm so conflicted!!!!!!!!!!

3rd Rock from the Sun...fun with titles

I've been watching 3rd Rock from the Sun; I'd forgotten how funny that show is :)  For those of you that don't remember, John Lithgow is the High Commander, Dick.  Sooo, since Dick is the High Commander, the writers decided to go with a very particular theme for the episode titles...check them out here, there are some real winners!

Achoo

I hate being sick.  But whenever I'm sick I think of this episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun where the aliens get sick for the first time:

Favorite quotes at around 8:40 (Dick talking about how he's never been defeated by a single-celled organism), 11:50 (Sally talking about how this virus is defeating her, leaving her die on a flea infested planet in the boondocks of space), and 15:45 (Sally shouts, "Destroy the incubator!!!").
