so i watched a really good football game today between the university of michigan and the university of washington. i rooted (is that how you spell that?) for michigan because my mom lives in michigan and i've been to ann arbor... and the "wolverines" sound much cooler than the "huskies"... i mean, wolverine is an x-man... that's pretty much my whole theory of picking a team to cheer for when i don't know either team playing in a game, i pick the one from the state/city that i've visited or the one with the cooler mascot/colors... that's pretty much a decidedly girl way to pick, but hey, i enjoy football, but when i don't know either team i've got to pick a team somehow because it's no fun to watch a game where you don't care who wins... soyeah... it was a great game, really close at the end (29-28 Washington) but Michigan won in the last 6 seconds with a 44 yard field goal (which was amazing 'cause their kickers had sucked it up the whole game)...
I forgot how much i enjoy football, and now i'm so looking forward to fall... i think i want to go to penn state to see a game this fall cause it's something i've always wanted to do... my mom and dad both went to penn state and i always thought when i was growing up that that's where i would go too, but then when it came time i didn't end up applying there... soyeah, when i was little my mom lived in Furnace, PA which is just outside of State College, PA where the main campus of psu is located (she was attending classes there at the time), and i completely enjoyed being there when i was little... we went to the creamery and ate peanut butter ice cream (hella good)... yeahso... rambling... morelater...

ok, so i just watched supertroopers with my brother, and i didn't know what to expect... i mean, i knew to expect stupid/fun comedy, but i didn't think it was going to be all that funny... but it was the funniest movie i've seen in a while! i mean, you have to be in the mood for a stupid movie with not a lot of plot, etc, but, damn, that was funny :) it's afganastanimation!

I hope this link works, 'cause this was very funny... it's from tonight show headlines on msn, and it's such a great picture... i'm sitting here at work giggling so hard, the people in the waiting room can probably hear me again... :)

so i followed a link from matt o's site to his friend chris' site where he had a link to this site. that was confusing, but hey, i didn't find this site and i want to give credit where credit's due... anyway, this site is the most amazing thing i've seen on the web (well, probably not really, but it is really cool...) and i think everyone should go there and be amazed. it asks you to pick a dictator or tv sitcom character and then it asks you a series of yes or no questions and it gets it right every time! i couldn't believe it... first i pretended i was Lana Lang from Smallville and it got that one, then I pretended I was Jackie from That 70's show and it got that one, then I did an easy one, Monica from Friends, and it got that one too! I just couldn't believe it... i mean, someone took the time to program that? damn. i have to think of more and go back...

so 'cause i had still-frozen chicken in my fridge, i had to make the rest of my zatarain's red beans and rice for dinner. i'd made the other half of the box last week, and aparently i'd made all of the rice in that batch. so tonight i had extra-spicey/salty bean soup with some rice. annoyingly enough, the most of the little bit of rice that was left in the box stuck to the bottom of the pan. soyeah, that was my exciting supper story...

how long does it take for chicken to thaw, really? this is ridiculous... i felt like chicken tonight, but no such luck... guess it's beans and rice for me....

EWWWW!!!

That ugly, ugly thing was on the canopy of my bed last night. ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew!!!!!! ON THE CANOPY OF MY BED!!!!!! i just can't express how freaked out grossed out panic stricken i was when i saw it. i have seen this evil bug before. one time when i came home from an extra shift at the hospital it was on my kitchen door on the inside and it crawled - no streaked - by me and i had to flick it out into the porch with a sponge. another time i saw it on the porch when becky was here, and she went up to it and freaked out when she got a better look at it and it ran. eww, it runs really fast... ugh.. bleh... ew... yeahso, last night i was laying in bed reading when i noticed it was sitting there on one of my side panels of my canopy looking at me. it was so hella gross... after much freaking out and a panic-y phone call to becky i finally mustered up enough nerve to flick it off my canopy using an old shoe. it flew across the room and into the windowsill. becky instructed me to spray some sort of poison at it, so i got out the formula 409 and sprayed away... and the evil thing lived! and it ran at me!! then i absolutely freaked out and sprayed it a bunch more then finally when it looked like it was heading for under (and then up?) my bed i smashed it to a pulp with a shoe. i thought i was going to die. i thought i was going to pass out and then it would crawl on me. ew ew ew ew ew... ew. so i looked up centipedes while i was at work today and i found out that 1) they're carnivores (ew) who kill their pray with poison and shove them into their mouth with horrible mandibles. 2) they move extremely fast (yeah, witnessed that) 3) they're common in older houses (great) 4) they're ugly (well, i devised that on my own...) 5) they normally don't harm humans, but if they do, their bite will sting and swell up (oh. my. god. if i ever saw one of those things on me....) and 6) they eat spiders. this is a bug so horrible that it eats those horrible horrible ugly disgusting scary evil things. but now i wish that it had just hung out on my porch so i didn't have to kill it so it could continue to eat any spiders that would try and eat me. but it was on my bed. it had to die. ugh. ew. i had the worst time getting to sleep after that episode, i felt a creepy-crawly and i thought it's family was going to come and kill me. or just crawl on me. ew. ew. ew. ew. ew.ew.... and the whole room was filled with formula 409 fumes, so i think i got brain damage...
