Signs Houston, TX is a lame city: #1
We are never immortalized in song, except for one lame song, "Houston, I'm coming home to you" which is basically about a woman that some guy's coming back to.
Nobdy ever said that if they could make it to Houston, they could make it anywhere.
Nobody ever left their heart in Houston.
Houston was never anyone's "kind of town".
Nobody fell in love with a ( Read more... ) -
Great, just as I start to tolerate her...
Okay, my Spanish profesora, "Helen" isn't one of my fondest friends...but I had just gotten used to her when THIS happened.
Okay, I had a horribly awkward day at school today. More correctly, at community college. I was in Spanish class for three hours as usual. My professor, we'll call her Helen, talked and talked. I tried really hard to keep up ( Read more... ) -

A relaxing, boring, weird day
My kitty had an abscess in his ear. He got expensive treatment and he went home. :)
I finally braved reading the 'DATE WITH A WEREWOLF' Sweet Valley 'Horror' edition at my library. WOW. Can we say jumped the shark (at long, long, last)?
I cleaned my bird's cage, the pet's dishes, and ate a sub sandwich. Wow, how thrilling! I don't even know why I'm ( Read more... ) -
My cat's ear, and a special SVH review
Well, I had a so-so day today. I lounged around in pajamas until lunchtime, made my bed, did various mind-draining things online, ate food, and watched the season premier of The Office. (psst...it was funny!)
My kitty has a gross infection type thing in his ear. Guess who's going to the vet ASAP? Yep.
I took my dog for another walk because I'm still ( Read more... ) -

* I so cannot wait for November! I hope Thanksgiving is cool or even chilly and dry! That would be bien! Lol.
* Yes, I know ( Read more... ) -
