Sunday Seven

I have stayed up all night. It is now 5 AM. Why do I do this to myself?
Anyway,
I started making Harry Potter Graphics on Photobucket.
From HERE
you can get the image, html code, or direct link! Easy, no?
(Granted, this is for the true HP nerds. The page will grow, I am sure, as these are so fun to make.)

PLUS 2 more, because I cannot help myself!

Duck, Duck, Book

A boy came running up to his mother in the backyard. "Mama, Mama, there is someone at the door with a bill!" "Don't worry dear," she said, "it's probably just a duck."

~

Cheesey, yes. But I heard that joke ages ago and it has never left me. I can still be sitting by myself, think of it, and say, "Hehe...duck..."

~

Ever since then, I noticed jokes with ducks in them are just funnier! Why? Because they usually just go for the funny value of the duck and make very little sense otherwise.

~

For years, I cannot get the idea out of my mind that I have always wanted to write a Duck Joke Book. A small one, clean jokes, with illustrations. I still think of it to this day, but I have a hard time building a good duck joke bank to pick from.

~

So if you know any, send them to me, and if I use it, I promise to thank you in my book!

Another Mystery Destroyed By Science

Catch Up

Whew- Sorry I have been away. It is nearing the end of my semester here, and I have a research paper due.

~

I had an all-day class on Saturday (our Anniversary), so all we could really do was go out to dinner. We went to an Italian place in Rota called Bambinos. The atmosphere is very Roman. I had an excellent steak and John has pasta. We have been so used to tapas, that it was funny getting so much food at one sitting. My steak came with those yummy, Spanish fries I love so much- The Best!

~

We have not been able to cook a lot of things since we got here, because we still do not have the gas tank we need to hook up to the grill. They are very hard to get. People on base usually just get them from people who are leaving. Refilling them is easy- any gas station will do it, but to get the tank is impossible for us. We have been checking the base newspaper since we got here. That is where people usually advertise, but nothing yet. Can you imagine??? No grilling all this time?? I am going a lil crazy. Especially since we have this perfect spring weather and long evenings - perfect for grilling.

~

Today is John's first day on day shift since he has been here. He now has to be up at 3:30 AM, so he said he has to try to go to bed at 9:oo PM. Yeah, right. It is still sunny at that time. He is not going to want to get home at 6, eat dinner, sit there for 2 hours, then go to bed, just so he can get up and do it all over again. This might be even harder for him than the night shift!

~

Our new grass is doing OK. Some corners are dead- I mean brown hay like stuff- dead! But most of it is green and growing pretty well. Our gardner has had to mow it twice since it has been put down. We have to water it ALL night EVERY night, which is a huge pain. The yard wraps around the house, so in order to get all of the yard, we would have to move the sprinkler 6 times. That means that only half of it gets done in one night.

~

John brought home flowers again (should I be worried?) and the movie Enchanted. I have been wanting to see that for ages. We have not seen any new movies lately. They have been pretty dull, but I think we will be seeing Iron Man on Friday. Anyone see that?

~

Well, that should catch you up.

Learning from Chickens

Quiz for your pets

THIS QUIZ is from the point of view of your pet.

This is ENIGMA's results:

Wow, your dog is Simon Cowell!
Simon CowellHard to Please
Enterprising, brassy and not afraid to bark what's on his mind, Enigma is Idol-maker Simon Cowell!
There's no beating around the bush with Enigma and flattery will get you nowhere. Enigma calls it like he sees it, and stands firm on all fours behind his decisions. The cat definitely does not have Enigma's tongue—some of his pals think he's bitter and confrontational, while others find him to be impawsibly hilarious. Enigma's influence on those around him is remarkable, and he takes advantage of this fact and uses it wisely. Behind his no-nonsense mask, Enigma is a perceptive sponge, taking in what he sees and hears around him, and then figuring out how to make it look, or sound, better.

This is Lancelot's results:

-

(Oddly enough , it is true- Lancelot IS Snoop Dog)

Snoop DoggSmooth & Cool
Swingin' hard and keeping it real in his 'hood, your little homey is Snoop Doggy Dogg, yo.
Bustin' out superfly vocals that keep his lady friends perched, ready and on the edge of their seats, Lancelot knows how to have a good time with his peeps and is not ashamed to show it. A big fan of the bling bling, Lancelot is fashion fit and costume conscious, even willing to go a little over the top at times. Rich like butter and phat with flavor when he rolls, Lancelot is well aware of the heads he turns along the way. Often seen hangin' with the big boys, Lancelot is one tough cookie and knows how to paw his way out of a confrontation. But despite his occasionally feisty flare, Lancelot is romantic and poetic, a true-blue Casanova through and through.

Butt Dust

Funny story for the day:

This particular Sunday sermon started,

"Dear Lord," the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face."Without you, we are but dust..."

He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me

and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four year old girl voice,

"Mom, what is butt dust?"

You Doubt It?

A couple years ago, I was on my way to a Duck's game. Enigma had a vet appointmet just 45 minutes before that. I was sure in the cool evening weather he would be fine in the car. The game was against the Kings, and you know I cannot be late to watch the Kings lose. Well, I pulled into the crowded parking lot of the Honda Pond and rolled down the car windows to make sure Enigma had fresh air. He was stretched full-out on the back seat, and I wanted to make sure he understood that he was safe and should stay there. I walked toward the staduim backward, pointing my finger at the car and saying emphatically, "Stay! Stay!" The driver of a nearby banged up car, wearing a Kings jersey, gave me a strange look and said, "Why don't you just put it in park?"

We arn't out yet!!

Rated R Chinese Dinner

This is 100% true.

John and I went to eat at a Chinese restaurant this afternoon. It looked and felt like any one in the U.S. The only differences were that they had sushi on the menu, and of course they spoke Spanish.

Everything was delicous. At the end of the meal, John had ice-cream and I had cafe solo. John asked for the check, and with it, the server brought 2 very small shot glasses with Chinese artistry painted on the outside. He filled them from a bottle and told us that it was sweet rice wine. They were tiny glasses, so we decided to try it. When we picked up the glasses, John said, "Hey, there is a picture at the bottom!"

We looked closer. It was of a man. Wearing a smile. And nothing else. And he seemed to be very happy about whatever he was smiling about. Very happy. I drank mine (it tasted like apple juice) and John's too. He said he did "not like the drink." I don't think it was the drink.

Anyway, when you drink the liquid, the bottom of the cup is rounded glass, so you can no longer see the picture. It is too distorted by the glass.

Intrigued all over again, we both filled our cups with water to see the picture come back up. No pun intended. I don't think we started laughing about it until we got all the way back to the car. It was sort of like, "Did we just see...? Yeah, we just saw....! Ok."

We cannot wait to try a different Chinese place to see if we get free "shots" at the end of our meal. John is hoping the pictures are of women next time.

Mysterious Ticking Award

For those brave few who have gone to the bottom of this blog page, you have been rewarded with a very hilarious You Tube video called The Mysterious Ticking Noise. It has Harry Potter characters in it, but it really has nothing to do with Harry Potter at all.

It is a just a seriously catchy tune!

There are several versions. the song is always the same, but some videos have lego characters, some have it acted out by Potter Puppet Pals (simply animated Harry Potter characters), and mine is just a series of photos really.

Well, the video has won a You Tube award for comedy!!

Click HERE to read the article, but also read the comments! One person said they had their choir teacher play it in class!!! HAHA!

Well, that deserves another watching...se ya!

A Joke, and a toast, and a Happy St. Patty's Day to ya!

An Irishman, an Englishman and a Scotsman go into a pub. Each orders a pint of Guinness. Just as the bartender hands them over, three flies buzz down and land-- one, two, three-- in each of the pints.
The Englishman looks disgusted, pushes his pint away and demands another... the Scotsman picks out the fly, shrugs, and takes a long swallow.
The Irishman reaches in to the glass, grabs the fly between his fingers and shakes him as hard as he can, shouting 'Spit it out, ya bloody bastard! Spit it out!'

Happy St. Patrick's Day

To live above with the Saints we love,

Ah, that is the purest glory.

To live below with the Saints we know,

Ah, that is another story!

Cheers!

David Letterman and Hockey

You know how I lament constantly that Hockey does not get its dues?

Well it seems that David Letterman had some ideas to get it more mainstream.

Keep in mind that this list is from 1995!!

Sun, Apples, & School

Lancelot playing with his food before he eats it!!

Nothing but unpacking and cleaning went on this weekend. Our TV does not work, so we will need it replaced.

Fortunately, we will get our money back for the TV.

Unfortunately, John wants to replace our $300 TV with a $2500 TV.
*sigh*
Today was a cold windy day. The sun never came out. I noticed that Yahoo weather said Honolulu and Pueblo were also partly cloudy today, so I do not feel so bad.
Unpacking has just been loads of fun- not really. We have one room full of boxes to the ceiling. The movers did not do a very good job with the packing. Most of the boxes do not say what is actually in them. All the bedroom boxes say Master Bedroom regardless of which bedroom they came from. AND the this morning,

I just unpacked 3 individually wrapped apples!!!!

Yeah, they were not smelling so good after 2 months.
Today and tomarrow are all paperwork days.
Tomarrow, I sign up for my first "upper level" class. I have about 12 classes left until my degree. I am taking classes at the University of Maryland,

which has some face-to-face classes here on the base and some online classes. They do not offer an Art History Degree exactly, but they DO offer a general studies major with "an emphasis on Art History".

Good enough for me. I just want to finish, so I can start working in my field, then start on my masters.
