Bragging To Your Boyfriend

Last night as I finished telling my boyfriend that I used to get praised for how well I held a pencil I realized I like to brag to him about the weirdest things. First of all, why do I feel the need to inform him that I was once skilled above my peers in holding a thin wooden stick? Well, in all honesty, there are probably psychological deductions that can easily be made, but I'm ignoring those in favor of the theory that by reminding him of my select skills set I will continue to be allowed to continue my many shenanigans. Photographic documentation to come.

10 Episodes Or Less?

Last night was a stressful one and I decided that before tackling studying for my biology test I needed a little comedy in my life. I have seen commercials for the show 10 Items Or Less on TBS when I tune in to watch my other much-needed situational comedies, but I hadn't watched an episdoe. Fortunately, it happen to be on right when I needed it last night. I found it quite enjoyable. I was even more impressed today when I found out that the show is only partially scripted. Actors are given a script outlining the episode but are required to improvise much of their lines. Which makes my memories of last night's episode even funnier. Although I've only seen one episode I think I can tentively say I'm a fan of this small sitcom. I guess time will tell. It's only in its 2nd season and TBS only gave them 8 episodes, the last of which airs this next Tuesday. If you haven't checked it out yet it's worth the 22 minutes.

Lunar Letdown

As many are aware, there was a total lunar eclipse on Wednesday. I looked forward to the night for weeks. Why? Maybe I'm a nerd like that. As Wednesday approached the weather was great and I did further research about analyzing the stages of the eclipse and measuring the light every 10 mins (yes, I said before, I'm a nerd). Finally the big day arrived. I wait for 8:25 and run outside in the freezing cold to go see the big show. Of course it's completely overcast and close to snowing. After wandering around in the cold, I trudged back inside. I quickly got online to see if anyone in the area could see it. I got to read hundreds of people (mostly from Canada, oddly enough) gushing about how amazing it was. That's just my luck that the day of it would get completely overcast. Don't worry though yesterday the weather was beautiful. Argh. I guess I'll just have to try again in about 3 years.

I'll Have To Look At My List

Anyone who knows me knows I love to make lists. I make lists of books to read and books I've already read. I make lists for the day, the week, the month, the quarter. I make lists of bands to check out, websites to look at, etc. etc. etc. Sometimes the lists that other people don't get are lists of things I've already done. So of course when I ran across the To-Do List Blog awhile back I was intrigued. She posts people's lists and it's an interesting view into their lives. By the way, her blog was made into a book awhile back too and is just as cool.

In the same spirit here's my list from today, not including my list for work stuff. I'm sure most of this doesn't make sense.
