Veritable Quotage (A College Update)

College life seems to consist mainly of late nights, early mornings, epic quotes, and lots of coffee and music. I could totally live the rest of my life like that. Unfortunately, that's not ALL of college. Classes, work, relationships, these all also play an important role in maintaining a healthy life. I think I've adapted here pretty well, I've made a few good friends and a lot of acquaintances, and I actually kind of love dorm life. My friends are solid, classes aren't overwhelming, and I'm remembering to do my laundry. All in all, even though I miss my family and friends in CT, I'm actually liking it here. Thank you for all the prayers everybody! I'm going to leave you with some veritable quotage that made me laugh... though out of context, it probably won't make sense to most of you. :P

"I have that book by the old dead German guy!"
"My cousin sent me a dinosaur egg!"
"I feel like I'm being smothered to death by kittens!" "It's an adorable, fur-filled death!"
"George Washington hates skinny jeans!"

...that's all, folks!

Vampires Beware

Here's an interesting article about today, the summer solstice. Check it out.

Oh Those Crazy Cubans...What'll They Think Of Next?

I've heard of someone having a forked tongue, but a forked nose?

This, in case you didn't know or weren't entirely sure what it was, is a picture of a Cuban man apparently inserting a fork into his nose. Now, I'm not sure why he would ever want a sharp metal object in his sinus cavity, but there it is. What do you think is happening here? Is this man insane? Is there a pea jammed up in there that he's trying to get out? What's going on?

Good Morning, Yesterday

So I've been in a melancholy, musical mood lately, and it got me thinking. If you could go back and relive one day, any day in your entire life, with no consequences, which day would it be? What would you do? What would you do different? Think about it.

I Fought The Law And The Law Won

Today's post is another interesting news article.

A man named Sylvester Jiles broke back into prison, after being released on probation from manslaughter. Now he's been sentenced to another 15 years in the slammer. Hmm. See, I would think that you would want to stay out of prison once you were released. Apparently the food was just too good to pass up. :D

Thoughts?

Only in Belarus

Hello everyone!! Today's post is about this ...interesting...picture. It was taken at a Belarussian Interior Ministry ceremony. Take a good look. This isn't edited in any way. What do you think is going on here?!?


It appears to me that a man with his head on fire is apparently trying to quench it in a block of dry ice. Little does he know that dry ice actually burns when it touches your skin for a long period of time. To put it simply, FAIL. Apparently the military is attempting to show new recruits that dry ice is NOT the best way douse yourself if your head is on fire. (note to readers, this is merely my merest of interpretations, not what is actually happening. Just so ya know.)

What in the name of tarnation do you think is going on here? Chime in!

Back to the Ben and Jerry's

Today's topic of discussion: if you had a time machine, when (and where) would you go with it?

This is spawned in part by my recent (first-time!!) viewing of Back to the Future. (Yeah, yeah, I know. Gimme a break, it wasn't high on my "must-see movies" list.)

Personally, I would like to travel back to London, 1718, in order to meet Mrs. Mary Eales. Mrs. Mary Eales was the (supposed) confectioner to her late Majesty Queen Anne, and she is the woman who first published a recipe for ICE CREAM. I would shake the hand of this wonderful woman and congratulate her on her imagination, innovation, and ingenuity in creating this most delicious and divine of dairy delights.

As a matter of fact, I'm about to go enjoy a bowl of some right now.

So, when would you go? The Jurassic Period? 18th century England? Colonial America? The Future? Chime in, and go get some ice cream while you're at it!
