Site Meter and Cry, more so not crying

Ok so this site meter is starting to bother me, just becuase I am nosey and I want to know who is looking at my site, lol I figure it's mostly me checking to see what number the dam thing is at only to have it go up another 2.
 
Went to see the Notebook tonight in Woodstock. It was filled, with lots of white haired old ladies and twenty somthings and there in between, there were only 5 men, yes we counted, to pass the time, and I had been told, bring klenex, and me Miss Crying Queen for everything, didn't shed a tear, I didn't even get misty eyed. I knew I should be goodness everyone arround me was, and I really liked the movie, Ryan Gossling was great, a different role from Sean and Breaker High and the Young Hurc on Fox, but still, to which when I told someone that I didn't cry, that oh well you must just be dead inside like Chandler from friends.
 
Which made me think, why is it that we all have to cry or laugh or what ever at a movie, I mean there are soo many out there, so many different types, it isn't wrong to like different ones, I mean how boring would that be?
 

New Look, Fresh Start?

Thought that the ole blue and white scale backround needed an update, and since there isn't much I can do to change things around here, might as well change things here, bare with me this is still a work in progress, next step is getting pictures up....might take a bit of time

Readings

I have just had a thought to add a little section here of current books that I am reading or have read.
I just finished Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
by Gregory Maguire. I really enjoyed it as I have his other books, you get to look at the other side of the story of some of the most belved books out there.

I am also about to read Ana Karenina by Leo Tolstoy we will see how that goes. I don;t get too much time to read over the summer due to work and "family" things that I have to go to, but I shall keep this updated as much as possible

Coffee and Me

I have a new friend and I don't want to think of what life would be with out it. My cupa Java, try as I may to ignore it last year at school, it has snuck back into my life, now that my brother and I have our cup in the am, but he is now away at camp so it's just me. Mmm dark roast, flavor enhanced, any kind that's a good kind, can't stand instant or that crap at work they call Coffee.
mmmmmm

Wicked - "Defying Gravity" music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz

ELPHABA
I know
But I don't want it - No!
I can't want it anymore

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by
The rules of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes
And leap...

It's time to try Defying Gravity
I think I'll try Defying Gravity
And you can't pull me down

GLINDA
Can't I make you understand
You're having delusions of grandeur?

ELPHABA
I'm through accepting limits
Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've Iost
Well if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost

I'd sooner buy Defying Gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm Defying Gravity
And you can't pull me down!

Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do - together!

Unlimited
Together we're Unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been - Glinda!
Dreams the way we pl d 'em

GLINDA
If we work in tandem

GLINDA & ELPHABA
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I, Defying Gravity
With you and I Defying Gravity

ELPHABA
They'll never bring us down!

Well, are you coming?

(GLINDA decides to stay behind.)

GLINDA
I hope you're happy
I hope your happy now that your choosing this -

ELPHABA
You too--
I hope it brings you bliss

GLINDA & ELPHABA
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy my friend

ELPHABA
So if you care to find me
Look to the Western sky!
As someone told me lately
Everyone deserves the chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who ground me
Take a message back from me!

Tell them how I am Defying Gravity
I'm flying high, Defying Gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring Me Down!!

GLINDA
I hope you're happy

CITIZENS OF OZ
Look at her
She's Wicked
Get her!!

ELPHABA
Bring me down!

CITIZENS OF OZ
No One Mourns The Wicked
So we got to bring her -

ELPHABA
AHHHH!

CITIZENS OF OZ
--DOWN!

Wonder Why?

No not the TV show
But do you ever wonder why, I mean the type of wondering where you are just left there standing, throw your arms up, questioning, Why?

Do you ever wish you could just get up and leave everything behind you? Not have to worry about one thing or another? Just go where ever the wind takes you, carefree from the whys.

Do you ever wish you could go back and see if knowing what you now know would change the situation? Or would it all just play out the same and not like Groundhog's Day. Would you want it to change, for if there was this change then other moments would change or just not happen.

Do you ever get that feeling in the pit of your stomach that you just want to ball up and throw away? And no matter how you try it just doesn't go away.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to fly, and no not in a plane. Or that feeling of weightlessness rarely experienced?

Why wonder, when nothing ever happens?

Euro 2004

Great news today the Netherlands have made it through to the next round beating Sweden. What a great game. I have become a workaholic this past week and not really by choice. Science takes time and takes time from your non existent life. I might as well just have a cot at work to sleep there.

About sleeping how great would it be to have a siesta? I really think they are on to somthing there.

Today was the big McCain Family bbq, felt old and odd seeing people I went to HS with there with their spouse and their 2 kids,

Other than that nothing is going on here, I really wish I could go somewhere warm and sunny for a vacation just a week at least that has tons of historic neat things and such just to absorb it all and none of this strange wether that we have been having here in NB

One good thing about not being outside is that I get to avoid all the black flies and such

June 28

GO out and Vote people that's all I can say

Stupid ATV/CTV

So there I was, sitting with my blueberry orange smoothie in one hand, a vorrtmann no Trans cookie in the other, egerly waiting for the Alais season finale, when what do I see but another stupid American Idol program about the show itself, enough of the spin off things, Fox has enough to show, now I have to wait till 10 to watch it, gerrr arggg

My Life at Home

I baisically get up early, get ready for work, go to work come home around 5 eat dinner watch the news go for a walk and then some more tv and then bed, the whole thing repeats itself. And when I do get home, I;m just so dang gosh tired.
Went to Halifax for my final checkup and it went great, i dont have to go back, and my jaw looks fantastic, very pleased with this
ok think i might go to sleep on the key board have to get up and do somthing

Home Sweet Home

The land of the flip flop free shower, the ease of doing your laundry and not having to find a $5.00 bill, because the machine doesn't accept coins, mom's cooking, the dishwasher, my bed, my room, my stuff....ahhh bliss
Also have been at work now for 3 days, amazing thing a potato,
And I got to drive today, it was wonderful, now if it would only warm up and the sun would come out that's all I ask for, that and great weekends
more detail and interesting stuff
hope all are well, did fine on exams and are enjoying the break

Cover Up??

Now whats going on in the city of lights. For all of you out there who read Dan Brown's The Davinci's Code might find this interesting makes one wonder, I swear after reading that book, you see the signs every where!

Also, the numbers on my floor are really getting low, there are only 5 of us left now, I feel so all alone, studying well I might add as well as packing, I think I might have cut the crap down this year. Wont the parental units be pleased.

For all of you back home in la la land, ohhhh are you lucky, mind you I got to talk to G today seems like we are going to be getting new winders on this side of the Crap Hall. About freaking time.

Went to Stereo over the weekend, which is an after hours club thing, meh not really my sorta thing, gosh my knees hurt, I think I might be getting ass ritus as my grandfather likes to call it.

Went to talk to Supervisor today about research project, looks like it is a go, also he ran into some one from home, which just shows what a small world we live in, err not, as the Food Industry is small enough as it is, especially in Canada, but what ever.

Called Bell today to get my phone "suspended" which means I will for once have the same phone number, and will save a whopping $5 on installation. But my service today, OVER the top nice, and chatty too, " oh you're from NB, that's why you sound different, I've a brother there, he loves it there, really nice people" That's right all we people who come from the Maritimes are super nice and have a funny accent. greaat.
I mean dont get me wrong I'd rather have the super nice than the mean, but when they call me Miss Flan, I can't help but laugh, I have been cursed by a difficult name, which really shouldn't be that hard to pronounce.

Right, what I would do for a Guinness right about now, ahhh, God Bless me Da, I know he's got the mini stocked with them waiting for my return.

Cheers

All By Myself

Well it's been over a week since my last update, and I have gotten though 3 major exams, and I am now just waiting for my last one on the 29th. My brain has now gone back to its normal size. It's beautiful out side and I am starving, trying to finish all my food before I go. I think that I might have to break down and actually buy something.
I am thinking of making a donation to the library one day, better chairs, or somthing along that line.
I am going to Stereo this weekend, a little nervous/worried as I don't know too many people, but it sounds fun.
Finally went to Chez Cora's for breakfast...it was nice.
Nothing really too interesting to say,

AHHH I Can't Avoid Noise

I have given up all hope in finding a quite place to study. And ewwww, I am in the library right now in the small computer room, and some one just passed some major gas, it REEKS in here, secondly l came here for some nice quite time to study, it's driving me nuts, but from some where I can hear crazy ass rock music blaring, scary thing was I was able to recognize some of it, I think it was Queens of the Stone Age but I'm not too sure, and I have looked all over the place to find it, but I can't it sounds like it is coming through the walls, I think it might be from the labs that are in the basement.

I just hope this wont continue.

I will do a weekend update later on, I just wanted to warn y'all avoid the computer room in the library when there is a bad smell stays a while, I gotta leave~~

Happy Easter

A very Happy Easter everyone.

In the mist of studying for finals, I have camped out in the library and can be reached there if you need me. It's really nice out today, Lil S and I went to church this am, thank you for letting me go with you. Am not feeling well, that ache and pain you get prior to the flu would best describe my conditions. Drinking lots of tea, green tea thanks to Dawn. Also getting lots of Vit C from my OJ and sweet potatos mmm
Made some excellent brownies a few nights ago, mmm chocolate.
Congrats to Jen for making it through lent sans junk food! Bravo.
Went to the last Ceildh on Thurs. it was DEAD, talked to some, well more so listened to a guy that had the gift of gab, goodness gracious.

Wow I have had >100 visitors here, yea lol wondering how many of them are actually me, lol
Ok I've got to finish laundry and then off to la biblio.

Finals

Good Luck everyone on your finals, I have faith in all of ya!

I made sum interesting dumplings today, but I think I ate a bit too many of them. I can't beleive that there are only 4 more days of classes left, this is my last Winter term here in Montreal, then I'M OUTTA HERE!! mm can you hear the excitment in that caps shout?! I sure hope so because I mean it.

It snowed the other night, snow in April, after it had all gone away, sigh oh well that's what you get for living in Canada, well east coast of Canada.

Found a great radio station online, Radio 1 from the BBC, it's really quite neat because you can pick the show you want to listen to or you can listen to the live show, so if they had a show on while you were asleep but want to listen to it now, well ya can. Neat eh?

Had a fun time at the bday party last weekend, mm speaking of bdays some one's is coming up. That's right I'm talking about you Ms Queen of Falling ;)

Ok Must get some studying done to night, oh another acomplishment, got most of my dishes done round of applause thank you thank you, I couldn't have done it with out my soap, and sponge and towel, oh and the sink, you like me you really like me

Cooking With Mida

That's right, I want to have a cooking show, I think it would be great. I have a catch phrase too, "Flip it and Reverse it" when ever you have to filp somthing thing. hun? hun? Classic, watch out Jamie Oliver, and those other TV Cooks, I'm a coming. And we could have themes, how great would that be and with my Food Science backround, I could have food industry features!!

So Yea, thats that, going DT for a BDAY dinner, should be interesting, I mean fun. ruuuight

Food Science News

I am convinced that we are once again being ignored, what the program needs is not fixing per say but better recruitment, and it's time that they heard us, but we keep getting the deaf ear from the Admin and the dean

The End

Another Chapter has finished in my life, or so to speak. I just saw the final esp. of Sex and the City, I don't care what the critics said, I thought it was a very good ending, we know where each of the characters are going. And yes I did cry, now what am I going to watch on Saturday nights when I want to live through some one else.

I find that I am watching less and less television, and it's frankly odd.

God, I have let my room get far too messy, I think it's time to bring out the mop, or at least, find a mop some where in the melting pot of smells that is Laird, that doesn't smell like spoiled food, or dirty socks.

*sigh* no more SATC nights eating brownies etc. What's a gal to do?

They're bacccck

As I sit here now, I hear that dreaded honking outside my window. That's right the dammed geese are back, with their awful honk honk.
Greaaat
