For lack of better things to write...

five things on my to-do list:
  1. get caught up on my laundry. my daughter apparently has more clothing than i do.
  2. watch "american gangster". i've owned this movie for almost a month now and i haven't bothered to open the cellophane yet.
  3. run the vaccum. the in-laws are coming over on saturday...
  4. play "viva pinata" one more time before my xbox live gold account subscription expires.

five things i would do if i were a millionaire:

  1. pay off all my debt, brad's, my parent's, and probably other select close relatives
  2. buy a new honda accord, 4 door of course...
  3. throw some money at CVES and CVHS...they always need new things and funds are usually pretty tight.
  4. travel in europe. not backpacking, that's for dirty hippies. and i'd take a cruise ship across the atlantic, no flying for me!
  5. liposuction. no matter what i do, i can't get rid of this damn sack of a stomach that kayleigh left me with 10+ months ago.

Michael Crichton

I read "Jurassic Park" when I was 10, before the movie came out. I have a severely ear-marked copy of it (white paperback, black t-rex sillouette) that I've read dozens of times. I also read "Disclosure" (didn't like that one too much) and "Timeline" (the movie was better). And of course, who isn't an avid follower of "ER"? (well, not the new season anyways.)

He had such a great mind, even if the media thought he was kooky for "State of Fear".

You say "tomato"...

I got into an argument with a coworker today about this: when you say the word "the", do you pronounce it like "thuh" or "thee"?? And when you say the word "a", as in "I took 'a' bath today", is it pronounced like "ay" or "uh"?? I've found out that I use both pronunciations of both words, mostly depending on the sentence I'm spitting out.

It's nice to know that my air-headed associates actually think of stimulating topics once in a while.
