Dreyfus

So we dissected squid in bio today, John and I named her Dreyfus. She was very tolerant of us, and very understanding when we split open her ink sack and wrote cryptic notes to each other using her pen. (If you don't know, the pen is kinda like a backbone, but not so much. It's all that's left of the shells they had, way back when.) She was a real trooper when we used a scalpel to write our names in her liver. We didn't hear a peep as Gabe stuffed her mutilated carcass into a plastic bucket with a million others like sardines, and then jumped on the top, chopping off an arm. She never complained when I threatened to eat her mantle, because I was hungry. She didn't so much as open her beak to object when we took out her mouth, beak, and esophagus in one fell twist and pull I'll never forget her, Dreyfus. <3

Politic-y things

I have an issue with Sarah Palin. And no, woman on tv, it's not that her daughter had a baby or that she's a smart confident woman.

It's that her entire constituency is less than that of NYC. So if something had happened to McCain, she wouldn't have been ready.

So yeah, the election is over and I'm still talking about it like one of those people I hate, but too bad, because I feel it needed to be said.

Moving on...

Bill O'Reilly. I can't stand him. I "just don't want to hear the truth. He's fair!" But whatevs, 'cause the dude is a buttmunch.

And the spin does not stop here.

I'm sick of the word pinhead and of his shouting. I'm done with him asking questions and interrupting before he gets answers and I'm REALLY sick of that segment where he brings up newspapers he doesn't like.

Buttmunch.

Pokemon Master-ship

When I was little I wanted nothing more than to beat a Pokemon game. I don't know why it never happened, but my best attempt left me with seven gym badges and an order to stop playing or I'd start having more seizures. (Not going there.)

But a few days ago I dug out my DS, the charger and Pokemon Pearl Version and plugged the stupid thing in. I was determined.

After scouring the net for suggestions I chose Piplup as my starting pokemon because it has really great defense after the last evolution into Empoleon.

And Oh. My. God. It was so much fun. I captured the legendary pokemon, Palkia, who created Sinnoh. I trumped the elite four and the champion with just three pokemon, one of which I picked up on Victory Road. I am the Pokemon Leauge Champion. It took me 45 hours. My family couldn't understand my obsession. My best friend scorned the beloved game. But it doesn't matter.

Because I'm the freaking best trainer in all of Sinnoh.

Now I'm hanging at the battle tower, excited for what comes next.

Remember the season one pokemon theme song? Picture this post fading to black as it plays.

I <3 Nerdom.

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks

It's by E. Lockhart ya know?

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks is one of those books that inspires you, that makes you want to climb Everest, direct a movie, or start a secret society.

Unfortunately, the secret society Frankie is so eager to join, The Loyal Order of the Basset Hounds, is all male, and it just takes one look at her to assure you that Frankie is *not* a boy. Over the summer she went from an awkward looking kid to a stunning teenager capable of winning the heart of Him...Matthew Livingston.

But Frankie knows Matthew is lying to her about the bassets. All it takes is a convenient set of circumstances, a clever email address, and a possibly criminal mind to give Frankie all she's ever wanted. But is it enough? Is it enough if she's never *really* one of them?

What's a girl to do when people's future's are on the line? When she might just loser her first boyfriend after Porter the Cheater? When society's rules are giving her some extreme paranoia?

Oi.

It's brilliant though, no complaints.

Catching up on blogging from being away...
