I finally got my car back. By the grace of God it wasn't too damaged. My pocket book is lighter, but because I have wonderful parents who offered to pay half it's not so much lighter. It was indeed the radiator, but what can you expect from an eleven yo car.
I've been mulling over some things for the last few days. I'm delighted that Warren Buffett has decided to give a large chunk of his fortune to charity to fund education and public health. My two main causes (equality and empowerment for women is also one, but I believe that if you give women education and good health the rest will come naturally). So it makes me smile.
And....(edited to add: Yes it is a huge rumor!)
Y'all also know that I'm a huge Joss Whedon fan and have been eagerly awaiting news on his Wonder Woman script and casting. In addition to being a Joss fan I also love Bollywood films (That's Indian film musicals for those of you who don't know what bollywood is. Do a google search to find out more. I'm sure there's a wiki somewhere.) So imagine my surprise when I found this.
I understand that it could just be a huge rumor. In fact it probably is. When I first saw it I was against it, because the girl's beautiful and all, but can she act to the satisfaction of the Whedonverse? Then my bollywood fangirl jumped up and started squeeing 'cuz a desi Priyanka Chopra in a Hollywood film!
Enough of this I better get back to studying.

tales from the ER
The next time a cockroach crawls in your ear while you are sleeping, be sure to stick your finger in your ear and plug it so it can't get out then run to the ED for us to take it out. Then, as I squirt viscous lidocaine into your ear canal, tell me how gross that feels!

Something similar happend at HFF...or was it ER?

So you want to take healthcare away from children?
Yup, you read it right. Some California lawmakers don't want to make healthcare available to any immigrant not matter what his age...because you know they're all felons and breaking the law by being in this country.
What next? Are we going to stop allowing them in public schools? Or...gasp...will we make them pay for education? So much for pursuing "the American Dream".
What happened to
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Are we taking it back? Or was that only for those that came via Ellis Island?

Two A-holes at a Crime Scene
Here is the latest Two A-holes skit. I normally don't like Kevin Spacey (except for the Usual Suspects), but he did a good job here. I now tune in to watch this skit. My sisters and I pray that it will be as big as the Spartans, Coneheads, two guys, etc. Hi-larious!

Got this as an e-mail...
and thought to post it rather than e-mail it to everyone I know.
As you might know, the head of a company survived
9/11 because his son started kindergarten.
Another fellow was alive because it was
his turn to bring donuts.
One woman was late because her
alarm clock didn't go off in time.
One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
because of an auto accident.
One of them
missed his bus.
One spilled food on her clothes and had to take
time to change.
One's
car wouldn't start.
One went back to
answer the telephone.
One had a
child that dawdled
and didn't get ready as soon as he should have.
One couldn't
get a taxi.
The one that struck me was the man
who put on a new pair of shoes that morning,
took the various means to get to work
but before he got there, he developed
a blister on his foot.
He stopped at a drugstore ! to buy a Band-Aid.
That is why he is alive today.
Now when I am
stuck in traffic,
miss an elevator,
turn back to answer a ringing telephone...
all the little things that annoy me.
I think to myself,
this is exactly where
God wants me to be
at this very moment..
Next time your morning seems to be
going wrong,
the children are slow getting dressed,
you can't seem to find the car keys,
you hit every traffic light,
don't get mad or frustrated;
God is at work watching over you.
May God continue to bless you
with all those annoying little things
and may you remember their possible purpose.
Pass this on to someone else, if you'd like.
There is NO LUCK attached.
If you delete this, it's okay:
God's Love Is Not Dependent On
E-Mail !!
(that's the cool part)AMEN
I get a lot of these and rarely post them or forward them, but this caught my attention.
I sometimes have the same thought that even though I didn't plan on ending up where I am today it probably means something and that it is the best place for me to be right now.
I won't give up the good fight. I know in my heart what I really want and I'll achieve that goal. Who'll stick it out with me?

On a similar thread
Okay so after my early morning rant on fanfic I came across this article which talks about how the author of "Everything Bad is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture is Actually Making Us Smarter" states...well just that. So I guess fanfic is just a what you get when you have increased mental capacity and a lot of time on your hands.
Fan Fic
Have any of you read fanfic or filk? I don't really know what filk is, but fan fiction make me squint my eyes and shake my head in confusion. Now, I'm not talking about something I know nothing about. I admit that I have read my share of fanfic. I know certain people (you know who you are) that absolutely love the stuff and they are always sending me links to the newest story that they just loved because it "captured the characters so well". I wonder what some people are thinking when they decide that it would be a good idea to have a "Honeymooners/Battlestar Galactica" crossover (No, I haven't actually read such a cross-over, but you get my point).
From the considerable research that I have conducted. I have found that most fanfic writers are teenagers with a lot of time on their hands. They write for their friends. They write for themselves. They think they are talented. They want to put various pairs together i.e. Simon and Jayne from Firefly. Some writers like to insert themselves into the story, become the hero or love interest.
There are fanfiction contests out there. There are entire databases. You can find comedy, drama, angst (there's a lot of angst), parody. Some are a few paragraphs long. Others would rival War and Peace for length. There are ratings, just like the movies. G through the adult content that's mostly well...smutty. Most of it is ridiculous.
I'm sure that there are some great writers in the webverse that like to write about their favorite characters, and I recently, reluctantly read one that was recommended to my by a friend that wasn't half-bad. For the most part though...meh.
Now this isn't is quite a rant against fan fiction, because..hey...whatever floats your boat, but put your creativity to some good use. If you want to be a writer make up your own characters, your own universe, etc. If you insist on writing fanfic, take a writing class, stay true to characters...heck you can get a list of fanfic rules out there on the web. Be sure that you have someone (good) edit your story and be sure to remain consistent and coherent. But most importantly please, please, please, don't ask me to edit. Please?
Also, who thought up fan vids?

New Job
So, now I'm officially looking for a new job. Even though I have hope for this one I think that looking won't hurt. I think that now I want to work at a hospital, maybe as a unit clerk or something to that effect.
It's surreal, but what can I do about it? This isn't the first time in history someone has lost a job through no fault of her own and it won't be the last.
On another topic...
Ding Dong the witch is dead... after two bombs were dropped on him. I wonder if the flying monkeys will be able to regroup. I hope not, but with the situation as it is who really knows anything. I notice how the admin isn't declaring victory and popping champagne corks as they did before. It's heartening when people learn from their mistakes.
And the FIFA World Cup starts today in Germany.
Even though I want the US to win Brazil's got Ronaldhino

The Hero of Canton
As I sat here at my wonderful job completely bored out of my mind (yes, I know there aren't boring situations only boring people...) I answered the phone. The person on the other end asked for info and I gave her the regular we help-you-get-medication spiel. She asked for an application and went on to give me her address. When she got to her city (Canton) it took everything in me not to start singing "He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor/Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for/Our love for him now ain't hard to explain/The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!"
But I was giggling and I'm sure that potential client thought me quite mad.
I had to get this out or else it would have just looped in my mind all day.

The Plight of Models in Milan
Models Strike
This week models, photographers and other fashion industry workers were striking against lack of government control of the Fashion Industry in Milan. What is the world coming to when even the fashionistas aren't getting what they deserve? We really must begin setting things right. This is unacceptable! Never mind child labor in developing countries, the war in Iraq, immigration issues, the bird flu, Madonna's new tour, healthcare in the US, or the atrocities in Darfur...no, no, no get the fashion industry in Milan under government regulation! STAT!!!

Crossroads of life
You don't have to live in the big city to see that the world is a terribly small place. We people mix with each other and are constantly taking and learning from other cultures and societies.
It may seem that in the world today we become more and more isolated as our fear of the unknown grows.
We are human beings and that of which we have little or no knowledge scares us ...a lot. We lash out like wounded animals, but we aren't merely animals. We are human. Being human we are very resilient and very flexible. We take what works for us and leave the rest.
I have been working at the mall lately filling in while the owners are away. I look across the counters and see that even though at an international level we seem to be isolated we are very much connected at a local level.
Upon entering the mall you see South Asians working side-by-side with North Africans. Actually its a veritable rainbow. You see everybody. I met a Ukrainian the other day. He was walking around the mall with his Vietnamese girlfriend.
Interracial couples are everywhere. It's no big deal. Goths and preps share the same table. Rich and not so rich shop at the same retailers. People from all walks of life (what does that really mean) love gyros.
Some people you will see in the mall every weekend. For others a trip to the mall is an event that they plan. I talked to a family who had driven 'in from the country' to shop for a prom dress.
All that said ,this is just an observation of what I'll call the microcosm of the mall. An ecosystem, of sorts. Self-contained.
It's not much, but looking out into the mall across the counter I feel a sense of hope that not all is lost. We still have a chance. No matter what happens people will figure out a way to stay people. We all have our ups and downs, but in the end no matter what our color or nationality we are people. We deal. We learn. We adapt. The unknown won't stay that way forever, especially with all the mixing we can't keep ourselves from doing.
We'll be alright. The world may not become a better place, but we human beings will keep the monsters at bay.

SNL- Two A-holes
I've been watching Saturday Night Live intermittently for years, but the 2000 elections made me a true fan. They have some awesome skits and digital shorts. Everyone loved the "Narnia" Lazy Sunday short with Chris Parnel and Andy Samberg. You can't forget Sean Connery parodies on Jeopardy, Debbie Downer, Two Wild and Crazy Guys, the Coneheads...I could go on and on.
I would like to add Two A-holes to the favorites. They are a married couple played by Kristen Wiig and Jason Sudeikis. The two have a tendency to be completely removed from reality. What makes the skits hilarious isn't necessarily the situations or even the writing. It's all in the delivery. Jason and Kristen know how to deliver. Here is a link to the skit with Jack Black ( second from last). You'll need a Quicktime player.
The last skit with Matt Damon wasn't as funny as the initial one with Jack Black, but it wasn't because of Jason or Kristen. I can't wait for more of the Two A-holes.

Family is Awesome!
So today had been going great! Actually it still is great save for one hiccup earlier today. After leaving work I headed to UCO to take an exam. All was well up until I parked my car and turned off the engine.
I usually put my keys directly into my purse or keep them in hand until I get out of the car. I don't lock the door until I check that I have my keys and my cell phone. I don't know what got into me today, but when I took my keys out of the engine, I put them on the seat next to me! I didn't realize what I had done until I had locked the doors and slammed them shut.
I had popped the trunk so I had access to my books, and access to the backs of the seats. I had the the great IDEA that I could get into my car through the trunk so what did I do? I climbed into the trunk to get it open. Of course it didn't work and what happened instead was that I suddenly realized that if a gust of wind (it was very windy today) happened to close my trunk I would be stuck in the trunk of my car. So what did I do? I got out and then proceeded to lean into the trunk my legs sticking out while my torso was wedged under the back hood thingy..so why was I not worried that a gust of wind would force the trunk closed and chop me in half you might ask. I don't know.
Well nothing came of that so I then did what I dreaded. I called my mother and told her what happened. Thankfully there was no screaming or yelling...I don't know why I expect that. I haven't been yelled at in ages. ( I probably just jinxed myself.) Well, my mother directed me to my beautiful Mei Mei who proceeded to save my hide. I didn't know it at the time ...I was taking a test, but my baby sister went home and found the spare key to my car. When I got out of the test (which in itself was weird) I called her. She was on her way. Forty-five minutes later there she was saving me from myself and a locksmith fee. What did she want in return you might ask? Not a thing. She hadn't eaten so I took her to the StuU and she ate cafeteria fastfood.
That was it. I know she won't hold this over my head or bring it up in the future. You only get this from family and those friend you have chosen to be family.
I feel so blessed.

Danse a Bougival
I love art. I love artistic people. I love impressionists. I love Renoir's work. I love Danse a Bougival.
I think I have loved this painting since I first saw it in a Trade magazine in the 8th grade. He has two other paintings with couples dancing, but they don't hold the same mesmerizing power that this one does. This one seems just so full of life and light.
I cannot say exactly why I like this painting. There is more to this than just the life and light. I don't know why this painting gives me such joy. It just does. I may appreciate art, but I guess I cannot verbalize what in a painting grabs me.
I smile each time I see this and am currently looking for a good quality affordable print.
Maybe it's the orange beard...or maybe the red bonnet...or ...I don't know....
AOL has recently added In2TV to its services. It offers old tv shows, new movie trailers, and current music videos as well as recent tv clips. The concept of tv on the internet, free and legal tv on the internet, was intriguing; so I decided to check it out. If you want to watch in hi-def you need to install a plug-in and then things are very clear. You can't rewind or forward with the tv shows that you download, but that's okay because the shows they offer are those that I have loved since childhood.
They have cartoons like Histeria and Pinky and the Brain as well as old sitcoms, sci-fi, action adventure, and dramas. As I explored I had this sinking feeling of an obsession forming...drat!
They had nine episodes of one of my favorite shows, Scarecrow and Mrs. King!
I think I first started to watch on reruns, and looking back I don't think I actually understood all that was going on. I just knew that I really liked the idea of spies and good guys against the bad guys. I loved that Mrs. King was a normal person and wasn't cowed by the whole business of espionage, much to Scarecrow's chagrin.
Scarecrow aka Lee Stetson, what a cheesy name, but suitable for a world class spy. Hee! As I rewatched episodes I realized how completely hilarious the dialogue was. I laughed all the way through the pilot. After years of watching very good comedy on tv and honing my taste to what is funny and what is merely mundane or a lame attempt at comedy, I found myself greatly entertained by SCAMK. The delivery and use of dialogue measures up to what I find funny today, which for a show that many consider campy is odd.
The show often seems to poke fun at itself and Bruce Boxleitner and Kate Jackson seem to be having so much fun in their roles. It's as if they know that the show gets cheesy, but all they want to do is to entertain you.
I find that I still love this show which is set in a time similar to ours, we were at war then too. The Cold War, where the bad guys were Russians that could look a lot like us, but have no fear our land was protected by likes of the world-class spy Scarecrow and his partner super mom, Mrs. Amanda King.
I hope they add more eps.

The world forgetting by the world forgot
So I just finished watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and I was floored. It's late and I'm tired, but I cannot believe how I loved this story. Jim Carey is such a versitile actor. This is very stream of consiousness, but stay with me. The cinematography just captured me, as did the directing itself. It was as though I was the one dreaming with all of the strange settings...it was one of those ...hey this doesn't go here...why am I in my pj's at the Doctor's office kind of thing.
The emotions...oye...so well played...its a good movie when the actors don't look like they are acting, and in this movie it was as if I were looking into someones memories as they were being earased...isn't that what they wanted? Well mission accomplished.
I felt pulled out of the movie only two times. Once when Joel first went to Clementine's apartment and the Indian music was on, and that was only because the songs were some oldies sung by my favorite singers, so my brain was trying to work on Urdu and English at the same time. The other time I was pulled out of the movie was when Kirsten Dunst came on screen the first time, only because I don't think she can act and she reminds me of a volunteer at HFF that I always felt uncomfortable around.
So that is my take on ESOTSM...I highly recommend it.
Going to sleep now...

The other time I was pulled out of the movie was when Kirsten Dunst came on screen the first time, only because I don't think she can act and she reminds me of a volunteer at HFF that I always felt uncomfortable around.
So that is my take on ESOTSM...I highly recommend it.
Going to sleep now...
