Word of the week

Sitting in "Origins of the Universe" is where my most creative ideas are born. This class gives me the opportunity for my mind to wander in so many directions. Somehow talking about wasting billions of dollars on how to make a ball point pen work in space (what was wrong with a pencil?) just isn't capturing my full attention. I've decided to make a wall that I will pin up a new word (that I would actually use) each day.. or maybe once a week. Watching the movie "Easy A" made me want to expand my vocabulary using ridiculous words that come up in everyday situations, but that are not common. I want to be able to spew out witty banter and use words that my fellow college students don't understand. 


Another note: I think scientists are wasting so much money finding things out.. for the sake of finding things out. I mean stars are great, and it would be fun to live out there like in Star Wars.. but whatever happened laying on a blanket looking at the stars and just marveling at them, instead of trying to fill my brain with useless information that will not help me in my future which I will memorize for the test, and forget immediately.


Back to the slightly dodgey movie "Easy A." The movie is hilarious! The plot is immoral, but the whit is outstanding. Here are a few of my favorite most memorable quotes:


Mr. Griffith: I don't know what your generation's fascination is with documenting your every thought... but I can assure you, they're not all diamonds. "Roman is having an OK day, and bought a Coke Zero at the gas station. Raise the roof." Who gives a..?"


Olive Penderghast: Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life"


Woodchuck Todd: [in Woodchuck costume carrying head] Hey Olive.
Olive Penderghast: Oh my Goodness! The illusion is shattered! This is exactly why they put you in the gas chamber if you take your head off at Disney World.
Woodchuck Todd: Actually I think they just, you know, they fire you. You're thinking of Disneyland. Disney World is much more liberal.
Olive Penderghast: Oh yeah! I always forget Disney World went blue in the last election. 


There are many more but they aren't as funny if you don't see them on screen. 


MAN this class is taking forever! I understand everything completely, it's not like i'm skipping out.. but he keeps explaining everything over and over and over.. WE GET IT!! Sir Hubble is amazing, give him a pat on the back and move on!




Now that I have completely vented.. I think it's time to go home and do something creative. Maybe paint my canvas I have.
Rock Climbing for free tonight! and I finally got my Co-ed volleyball team together and strong! Woo Hoo!
