My hilarious husband!

So, Shawn and I are exhausted from our week and have decided to sit down and watch a movie. I tell him if he's not ready to start the movie (Young Frankenstein) that I'll watch Grey's Anatomy. This reminds him that I had talked about watching the season premiere earlier in the week. I then tell him I really don't feel like watching it. His response, "Yeah right! As soon as they start talking about McDreamy, McCreamy and McLovin you'll want to watch it!" I am laughing so hard I can barely type! He cracks me up, which is one of the many reasons why I love him.

Arachnophobia

I woke up early this morning to write a paper. ARGH! As I am typing away I suddenly hear from the shower, "UUHH. . . . ." I hop up to see what's wrong.

Now two things are running through my head, either Shawn's hurt or there's a spider. (Shawn and I are both deathly afraid of spiders.)

A blood curdling scream would have been more appropriate! There in the corner of the shower is a ginormous spider (the size of a gold dollar.) Flashbacks of the Arachnophobia shower scene are running through both our heads. I start hopping and pacing while Shawn successfully smashes it with the face wash.

And what do you think has become of the bottle? It's still in the shower, however, it will be going straight to the garbage can as soon as one of us musters up the courage.

P.S. Did you know Arachnophobia is found in the Comedy section of the video store? Crazy enough I really enjoy that movie.

Something Nice

Today I was talking to a classmate and discovered that we were both born in the same year. He looks quite a bit older than me, so I was a little shocked. The girl sitting on the other side of me said, "You're going to be 27? You don't look that old." Now, this could be taken as an insult, the whole--you don't look THAT OLD. However, I took this as a compliment. It kinda made my day. :)

UVU Pet Peeves

So, with my life being stressful I need to vent my frustrations so I don't explode into a million pieces! Here a few things that are driving me crazy about the campus:

Parking--in order to find a spot close enough (so I can rush to a building on the other side of campus or get to work on time)---I have to stalk people in the closer parking lot. If you arrive 5 mins before or after class starts there isn't a chance in hell that you will get a parking spot anywhere!!! Also, I have to leave some of my classes early to get to other classes--If I were to walk it would take 15 mins therefore I drive!

Pedestrians--sadly 2 people were hit on campus yesterday. I am surprised it doesn't happen more often. First of all, the drivers on campus drive like crazed maniacs! Secondly, the pedestrians cross wherever and whenever they want. Sometimes I swear the students are tempting me to run them over! Along with giving speeding tickets they need to give tickets for Jaywalking.

Idiot who designed streets--Campus road is connected to 800 south which is where the Education building is. The intersection from campus road to 800 south is about 2 car lengths long. This translates into a mile long wait to turn onto 800 south, especially if you are trying to turn left.

Fine Arts building--there isn't one! We sing in a little theatre that is meant for lectures and plays, not acoustically friendly. The sound that is projected by the performers dies just past the edge of the stage.

So--there you have it. These are things I have to deal with on a daily basis that drive me to complete and utter insanity! And I deal with these along with 2-3 hour classes ! These classes drive me to distraction, I can't pay attention for more than an hour. Any suggestions? All I can say is, I am ready for the college experience to be over!

In Memory of 9/11 this Patriot Day

In honor of those who died 7 years ago, those who are fighting for freedom and those who have died for it, I wanted to write a little something. I believe every person should be allowed freedom of religion, schooling and life. We were all given our own free will when we came to this earth. However, we need to be considerate and ponder on the affect we have on those around us. I challenge us all to be a little less ignorant and a little more respectful to each other.

Don Fontaine--The Voice of Movie Trailers!

For those of you who know me well, you know I love movies! Yesterday, Don Fontaine passed away. Even for those of you who don't watch a lot of movies you would still recognize his strong, low voice. He will be truly missed!

BIO
Don LaFontaine, the voiceover king whose "In a world ..." phrase on movie trailers was much copied -- and much parodied -- has died, according to media reports. He was 68.

Don LaFontaine was featured as "that voiceover guy" on a recent Geico commercial.

LaFontaine died Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, according to ETOnline, "Entertainment Tonight's" Web site. He died from complications from pneumothorax, a collapsed lung that causes air to build in the pleural cavity, his agent, Vanessa Gilbert, told "ET."

LaFontaine, who was born in Duluth, Minnesota, began as a voice actor in the mid-1960s while working as a recording engineer, according to his Web site. His strong, slightly gravelly voice was featured on trailers for thousands of films, including "The Godfather," "Fatal Attraction" and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." For a time in the late '70s, LaFontaine was the official voice of Paramount Pictures.
