My Poor Tummy

I don't know what the deal is here. I felt fine all last week... but then on Friday, we left for Dallas, and stopped to eat at Long John Silvers. Ever since then my stomach has had a dull ache. At first I thought it was the food, but seeing as how that meal has long since left my body... I don't think it's the food that caused it.

I haven't had any of the normal "friends" that like to keep stomach-aches company, just the dull aching. It's really weird. It's not like any other stomach ache I've ever had.

I went ahead and cancelled the job I had for tomorrow because I don't think I will be able to stand in a classroom all day. I didn't really want to cancel the job because I like money... but I really don't think it would be a good idea to go.

Anyways, hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow because I really would like to work the rest of the week.

The New Short Titanic Script

One of my friends posted this on MySpace. It made me laugh, so I decided to post it here to share with others.

Enjoy:

(Scene 1)
KATE WINSLET: My, this is a fancy boat, isn't it?

KATE'S WEASELLY FIANCE: Yes, it certainly is. Here is the art you asked for. It is by an artist named "Picasso." I am certain he will amount to nothing.

KATE: Ha ha ha. That is very funny to our 90's audience, because they know these priceless paintings will sink with the boat.

LEONARDO DiCAPRIO: Hello, I'm Leonardo DiCaprio. Perhaps you have seen the many Internet sites dedicated to the worship of me. You are very pretty.

KATE: Thank you. So are you.

LEONARDO: I know. Prettier than you, in fact. I am going to put on my "brooding" face now, to ensure that women will keep coming back again and again to see this movie. Later, my white shirt will be soaking wet. Women will find this very attractive, even though I have the body of a 12 year old.

KATE: While you're doing that, I will concentrate on standing here and looking pretty, to keep the men in the audience interested until the boat sinks and people start dying.

WEASELLY FIANCE: Excuse me. I do not like you, Leonardo, even though you saved my fiance's life. I am going to sneer at you and treat you like dirt because you're poor, and then I'll probably be physically abusive to my fiance, and then, just to make sure the audience really hates me,and to make sure my character is entirely one-dimensional, perhaps I'll throw a small child into the water.

AUDIENCE: Boo! We hate you! Even though all real people have at least a few admirable qualities, we have not been shown any of yours, and plus, you're trying to come between Leonardo and Kate, and so therefore we hate you! Boo! (Even though technically it is Leonardo who is coming between you and Kate. But Leonardo is handsomer than you, even though he is only 12, so we are on his side. Boo!)

(Scene 2)

LEONARDO: I'm glad we snuck away like this so that you could cheat on your fiance.

KATE: So am I. Even though I am engaged to him and have made a commitment to marry him, that is no reason why you and I cannot climb into the back seat of a car (probably his) and steam up the windows together. The fact that I am the heroine of the movie will no doubt help the cattle-like audience forgive me of this, though they would probably be VERY angry indeed if my fiance were to do the same thing to me.

AUDIENCE: Damn straight we would ! Moo! We mean, Boo!

LEONARDO: I agree. First, I would like to draw you, though, so of course you have to take off all your clothes.

KATE: All right, then. (sound of clothes hitting the floor)

(Scene 3)

FIRST MATE: Captain, we're about to hit an iceberg!

CAPTAIN: Great, I could use some ice for my drink. (sound of drinking)

ICEBERG: (hits boat)

FIRST MATE: That can't be good.

CAPTAIN: Bottoms up!

AUDIENCE: Huh?

FIRST MATE: That was irony, you fools.

AUDIENCE: Baa! Moo! Where's Leonardo?

(Scene 4)

LEONARDO: I have been informed that this boat is sinking.

KATE: That is terrible. And I am the only passenger that has noticed that there are not enough lifeboats! Everybody else took New Math in school.

LEONARDO: Would you like to engage in some more immoral-but-justified-because-we're-pretty behavior?

KATE: Certainly. (kisses him)

WEASELLY FIANCE: I'm getting the raw end of the deal here: (to Leonardo) Listen, Leonardo, to cement my morally-dubious-yet-somehow-less-annoying-than-you personality, I am going to falsely accuse you of a crime, then handcuff you to this pipe here in a room that will soon be filling with water, due to the fact that we are sinking, which I believe has been mentioned previously.

LEONARDO: Why don't you just shoot me?

WEASELLY FIANCE: Because then you wouldn't be able to escape and save Kate from me. Also, all of the women in the audience would get up and leave. Of course, you're going to die anyway.

AUDIENCE: Don't
spoil it for us! Booooooo!!

LEONARDO: He's right, though. I am doomed. It's in the script.

AUDIENCE: Aww, look how cute he is when he's doomed!

WEASELLY FIANCE: I really hate you people.

(Scene 5)

150-YEAR-OLD-KATE: And that's when Leonardo rescued me from my evil fiance and helped me float on a board in the water. Of course, if it hadn't been for having to rescue HIM, I could have gotten on an actual lifeboat to begin with, and not nearly frozen my butt off. Anyway, he's pretty much dead now, and I'm well over a thousand years old, and who's making my supper? I need another Depends. Turn down that Enya music,
it's making my ears hurt. You kids today, with your loud music. Why, in my day - hey!
Don't you walk away from me, Mr. Snooty-Patootie Oceanologist! I'd turn you over my knee, if I could bend it. I'll beat you in the head with this huge extremely rare blue diamond! Hey, come back here!

(FADE TO BLACK; roll credits; play annoying Celine Dion song again.)

THE END

Sanjaya Malakar

For those of you who don't know, Sanjaya was finally booted off of American Idol. I am so extremely happy about this.

I honestly don't understand how he made it as far in the competition as he did. I mean, I've heard drunks at karaoke bars sing better than this "no-talent ass clown."

This season, after Hollywood week, I honestly thought Sanjaya would be the first to go. But, alas, he stayed on the show. The following week I was just sure that he would be kicked off... but I was once again disappointed. It finally got to the point to where I didn't think he would get kicked off. So instead of trying to guess that he would be the one to go home, I started guessing that the second worse singer would be the one to go home.

Finally... tonight... he was told to go home. I cheered loudly and clapped my hands. Now, all of the singers can actually have a fair competition.

*is happy*

As many of you know, I have been waiting for over a month for Texas State to receive my transcripts Blinn. I was given a link that I could check the status of my application... and for quite some time now every time I checked it the message was the same:

We are still awaiting your transcripts from Blinn College.

I checked it again about a week ago and I was happy to see a new message:

All information has been received. You application is currently being reviewed.

This was great news.

Now, I was just about to turn off my monitor and go to bed when I saw the paper with the link on it again. For sh!ts and giggles I decided to check it again. I was pleasantly surprised to read the following:

Congratulations! You have been accepted to Texas State University-San Marcos for Summer I 2007.

This is the best news I've heard in a while. I was afraid they were going to reject my application... which would cause me to be out of school yet one more semester.

So I guess this means that I am now a Bobcat.
