Seriously Random Thoughts

> I just signed up for a Flickr account, so if you have an account as well, add me as a contact! >I really appreciate Chick-fil-a’s fruit cups because they don’t have any melon in them. I dislike melon. I also think putting melon in a fruit cup or fruit salad is a cop out for restaurants because it takes up so much room. >I was driving yesterday and I saw this sign outside of a church: “CH–CH. What’s missing? UR.” I’m all for a clever sign, but I don’t know how I feel about this one. >The best news I’ve heard in a long time? “We don’t really do care plans in this class.” I love psychiatric nursing already!…

The Weekend’s Hap-PUN-ings

May 20, 2007

Yesterday, for the second year, my roommate Carmen participated in the World Championship Pun Competition in Austin, TX. There were two events. The first was called “Punniest of Show” in which the contestants (32 in all) performed a 90-120 second monologue and were rated on a scale of 1-10 by four judges for a maximum of 40 points. I am proud to say that with a score of 39, I now live under the same roof as the second-place winner! Here’s a clip of her presentation: You can read the entire transcript here. The second event was a tournament in which two punsters went head-to-head. They would receive a topic and go back and forth punning off that topic with…

In Which I Place Myself In A Silly Situation

May 8, 2007

So, on Saturday I took my car in to get the oil changed, and also to have them check out a certain noise that I have noticed for awhile–”noticed” being an understatement due to the fact that the “noise” is a horrid squeal that occurs every time I turn on the engine, akin to the sound of a cat being tortured. Isn’t it so true that whenever you take your car in to the shop for something small, there seems to be something big that needs to be fixed? Like the times I went to get my oil changed and it turned out that I was basically going to get in a horrible wreck and die if I didn’t replace…

Ahhhh…

May 3, 2007

I finished my last final this morning. I celebrated this evening by eating almost a whole tub of chicken fried rice and a pint of ice cream while I watched the DVRed episodes of Gilmore Girls and House. It was glorious. I have two weeks with no school, but I already have 11 things on my “To Do Over The Break” list, not to mention the fact that I agreed to work almost every day I can. Ah, well. 0 Like
