I watched this movie last week called Roger Dodger, one of Angel's favorites. Pretty good movie. Anyway, Roger is a writer for an advertising firm in NYC, and his nephew visits. When his nephew asks him what exactly he does, he says that he spends all day trying to figure out how to make people feel bad about themselves, because they won't buy ( Read more... )

I had the funniest dream last night. I was fresh out of college, got the job I had now, was living cheap in my first apt, and decided to buy a car. It was a classic convertible. A 1955 something in red. It wasn't in cherry condition, though. In face, it was a bit of a clunker. But I LOVED it. My dad rolled his eyes, but I wanted to drive ( Read more... )

I went to dinner and to Light with Kerri, Heidi and some other people last night. Light was cool in a trendy chic sort of way. But it was empty with nothing but some 50-60 year old men being bar flies. They belonged at a corner pub. It was weird ( Read more... )

What a bummer. Just as I started writing this, my neighbor called to tell me that my neighbor on my other side lost his battle with cancer this afternoon. Bob Webster was a good man, one of the kindest that God ever made. I know he is in Heaven and no longer suffering, but I feel badly for his wife ( Read more... )

Okay, here is my recap of horseback riding. We started with basic grooming. I cleaned his hooves, brushed him and all that. Easy stuff. Dillon was a very good horse. Lucy saddled him up, then it was time to ride. Now, for those of you who don't know, my grandpa was a farmer and kept a horse on his farm for us. I literally started learning to ride ( Read more... )

I've had the yuckies for 7 days now. I feel fine during the day now, but in the morning and evening, I feel awful. It's my throat. I didn't tell Angel about it over the weekend. I get to spend so little time with him as it is, I didn't want him to tell me to stay home and rest. Besides, as my boyfriend, it is his duty to expose himself to ( Read more... )

Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird habits of yours" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about their 5 quirky habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next people to be tagged and list their names ( Read more... )

Seeing how we don't have to take the mandatory ethics training at Otterbein until next year, I thought I would do something unethical today. I volunteered to do the Equine Science Newsletter for them this year (they did it themselves the past 2 years), and they were so grateful, I conned them into giving me a free riding lesson next week! Woo hoo ( Read more... )

What a great weekend! I had the best party yet. It barely took any time to prepare, barely any time to clean up, and everyone had a good time. Of the 14 people who were there, the 9 of us drinking wine went through 8 bottles. I got smashed and who knows what I said or did. Watson lightened the mood by taking a (drunken?) piss on the wall in ( Read more... )

To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours, and does not speak clearly.
