Seriously?

A funny story..

The other day we took one of our cars in to be serviced at the car repair place we've been using for years. When we went to go pick up our newly doctored automobile the guy hands us a bag of stuff and says "We've had this for a few years it's your guys' belongings from another car you had brought in."... Okay these were things that I haven't seen since about my sophomore year of high school. If they knew who they belonged to, when they pulled them out of a car they were fixing.. how come they never thought of contacting us? Some of the stuff was nostalgic and fun to go through being that all of it was mine but in the bottom of the bag were a pair of eyeglasses! Not just reading glasses but my nice prescription bi-focals that i got yelled at for days for losing! So, now I have these eyeglasses with a non-current prescription and I don't know what to do with them, I'd like to donate with them but i'm not sure of any drop off places or maybe there's an organiztion where you can mail them. Does anyone know anything about donating eyeglasses?

Guess where I'm headed next week.

A Haunting

5 reasons why A HAUNTING is the best daytime T.V. Program
(in no particular order of importance)

1. The re-enactment actors are polar opposites of the real people they are portraying.
2. Some people choose to go anonymous, where they are videotaped so all you can see is a ridiculous outline of their out of date hair style. Usually mullet-ish. So they can hide their identity in fear of their lives (over a haunting). Because paranormal beings obviously care which network programs you sell your story out to.
3. It's the most random show on the discovery channel.
4. The stupid sound they play like someone tapping an xylephone repeadidly before each commercial segment so you know that's the end of that "chapter"
5. What's better than a show that's scary and rediculously hilarious at the same time!

Miss Hepburn's Beauty Tips

Audrey Hepburn's Beauty Tips:

1. For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
2. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
3. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
4. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
5. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
6. People, even more than things have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
7. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.

Wordless Wednesday

The way things go.

I've been feeling kind of depressed lately, I think the whole lack of job thing is starting to get to me.
Today I found a job posting for a perfect fit and I spent all afternoon writing this amazing cover letter because it was a position I really wanted. I went to go back to it to get the information on where to go tomorrow and the posting was removed by the company.
That's how it seems to be going lately.

on another note, i've spent too much time dwelling on the past.
It just makes me feel sad and that I haven't come very far
when I thought I put all those things behind me.
I feel Stagnant.


Not to mention I missed the concert that I have been waiting for a couple months
now to go to tonight.
Andrew Bird is one of my favorite musicians and I couldn't get lame less than 30 dollar tickets
because I am jobless. If you get a chance you should listen to his new Album Noble Beast. The whole album is available right now to listen to freely on myspace.

Valentines day.

My Valentines day was one of the best days I've had in a very long time even though my boyfriend blew me off!

A good friend took me to the coast with him and his other 2 friends.
The couple was incredibly nice. We spent the day touring a pub, Hiking in Pacific city and wedding crashing.

The weather was AMAZING for the Oregon Coast.

Morgellons Disease

I've been following news on Morgellons disease for a little over a year now. For some reason it's something that has completely just captivated my curiosity.
If you don't know anything about it here is a great article I just read that kind of sums up
what Morgellons is as well as new research they've found linking it to fungus
or possibly genetically modified food.

This is a new disease that people are becoming afflicted with that
a lot of patients are being prescribed anti-psych medications.
Then others are being tested demanding answers to what they believe is a very
real condition.

What do you think about it? Do you think it's just delusions of parasites or that these people really
are afflicted with something that causes lesions, fibers growing out of their body and other serious symptoms?

There are a alot of great youtube videos and websites about moregellons disease too.


"In New Science magazine, Sept. 15-21 edition, Daniel Elkan describes a patient who for years has been "finding tiny blue, red and black fibers growing from intensely itchy lesions on his skin." These fibers appear like pliable plastic and can be several millimeters long. Some appear in a zig-zag pattern. These fibers can be as fine as spider silk, yet they are strong enough to distend the skin when pulled." Read More

I thought the site was starting to look a little devoid of photos.
I found this picture the other day when I was cleaning out my photo folder.
I was making fajitas and cut open this pepper and this is exactly what it looked like!
No altering what-so-ever.
It gave me a great laugh!

Laika

Laika (from the Russian: Лайка, a breed of dog, literally meaning "Barker" or "Howler") was a Soviet space dog (c. 1954–November 3, 1957) who became the first living mammal to orbit the Earth and the first orbital casualty. Little was known about the impact of space flight on living things at the time Laika's mission was launched. Some scientists believed humans would be unable to survive the launch or the conditions of outer space, so engineers viewed flights by non-human animals as a necessary precursor to human missions.^[1] The United States used chimpanzees; the Soviet program elected to use dogs. Laika, a stray, originally named Kudryavka (Russian: кудрявка Little Curly-Haired One), underwent training with two other dogs, and was eventually chosen as the occupant of the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 2 that was launched into outer space on November 3, 1957.

Laika died a few hours after launch, presumably from stress and overheating, probably due to a malfunction in the thermal control system. The true cause and time of her death was not made public until 2002; instead, it was widely reported that she lived for several days.^[2] However, the experiment proved that a living passenger could survive being launched into orbit and endure weightlessness. It paved the way for human spaceflight and provided scientists with some of the first data on how living organisms react to spaceflight environments. On April 11, 2008, Russian officials unveiled a monument to Laika. A small monument in her honour was built near the military research facility in Moscow which prepared Laika's flight to space. It features a dog standing on top of a rocket.^[3][4]

The News

For the past two days I have been home sick, I still haven't gotten around to switching my cable to the digital switchover nonsense either. The only channels I get are news channels. I thought.. "i'm sick i can tolerate the news for a while." How wrong i was! Since when does the news only have about 12 stories that they repeat through out every news segment of the day for 48 hours?! I feel like i'm in that groundhogs day movie.
