SPRING BREAK!!!!

The tests have been taken, the papers turned in and it's time to go on vacation!!! Well, some of us will go on vacation, others will go to work same as usual and work on the assignments our professors were kind enough to give us for the break :..(
I have two papers due the week we get back from spring break, can you believe it?! But don't fret! I do plan on having some fun while not in school. There is a college night at the local museum next Wednesday that I plan on going to, and of course sleeping in and catching up on my reading.



I plan on reading All Together Dead #7 in the Sookie Stackhouse books, and getting more into American G-ds by Neil Gaiman. I bought this book a while ago and what I've read is pretty good but my mind has been with vampires and shapeshifters!
Sinse the South is on my mind, todays song of the day pays tribute to the famous river of the South, the Mississippi.

Old Man River (Showboat) - Paul Robeson

So... Hump Day

*Sigh* It's the middle of the week and my only REAL day off, so I think I should start having something special on Hump Day. I couldn't really decide what it should be; a weekly photograph? a video? a movie I'd recommend?
Finally I decided, because it's the middle of the work week and we would all rather be somewhere else, why not a "Wednesday Wish You Were Here"! Every Wednesday I will pick a destination, sometimes near, sometimes far, sometimes exotic, sometimes...not, but always somewhere you would rather be that at work/school.

For the first ever Wednesday Wish You Were Here, I have picked.... ITALY!!!! Tuscany to be more precise. This is mostly because I have been reading Bella Tuscany and Under Tuscan Sun by Francis Meyes. I love her descriptions of her house and the Italian countryside!
Here are some pics for your enjoyment!!!

Isn't it BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Things Happened!!

Well, I didn't have my mid-term in history yesterday, due to an escaped prisoner on campus!!! It was all very exciting, everyone received texts or voice mail giving a description of the guy, and where he was last seen. The whole story is so stupid. The guy was being moved form Orlando to Tennessee to be tried for Larceny and the cop stopped at the Waffle House across the street from campus to get food. DUMB! Somehow the prisoner got out of the handcuffs, out of the car and onto campus. The good thing that came out of this is that all classes after 4:30pm were canceled, which meant that I didn't have to take my mid-term!!
So that was the exciting thing about yesterday. Oh! I was also slightly scarred by this movie we watched in Queering Pop-culture. It's called Sick and it's about an artist who had cystic fibrosis and was into S&M. It was extraordinarily graphic... I mean I really can' t put into words how high the ick factor was in this movie... in fact no more talking about it.
Today's song of the day is also a video, just 'cause I think the video is really cool!
Oh! I also am waiting with bated breath for the next book in J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series!! It's called Lover Avenged and it comes out at the end of April!!!!! (insert girlie squeal!!!!)

Tuesday School!

Another day, another subject. And today is the school day from HELL!!!! I have two tests and an essay due TODAY!!! I think the prof's get together and make sure everything is due the week before spring break!
Anyway here is today's song of the day:

Desert Rose - Sting

Crazy For You - Adele


I love how bluesy this song sounds, it puts me in mind of legends like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holliday.

Ugh...

Here is the snow I was speaking of. This was taken a few hours after it started falling.
I like snow but it is hard to take this late in winter. I wish it could have looked like this in December. It is even more hard to take after weeks of hanging out with friends and being able to eat all of the key lime pie ice cream I want. Now I have to stay inside and drink hot tea and cancel all of my plans!!!









I wish it looked like this....

and I could find a hot guy like this...
but that won't happen till at least April....*sigh*

Gloomy Sunday

Well, it's Sunday... and while I would normally be entertaining customers at the local drugstore, I had better plans for today... and then it started to snow:( Now I like snow, and sense I live in Georgia snow is a rare treat; But I had PLANS for today! I was going to go to the Booth Museum of Western Art for my history class then hit the bookstore to use my Borders bucks! but NOOOOO..... it had to start snowing and sticking and making the roads slippery when wet!!!!!

*sigh* So I thought up some themes for different days of the week.

Starting today pretty much every Sunday I will post a quote. Sometimes funny, other times thought provoking, but hopefully it will get us through the week!! I'm also going to start posting a song a day! I think this will be easy enough for me, sense I love music and enjoy finding new artists!

SO... today's Sunday quote:

Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath.

Matt Groening, "Life in Hell"
US cartoonist & satirist (1954 - )

AND the song of the day:

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! (Digitally Remastered 98) - Dean Martin
