Why Do Bad Things Always Happen to Us?

Yet again we have another harrowing tale. To break up the work of the weekend Miss Moon and I decided to try going to a small museum on one of the other campuses. We should have know this trip would be a disaster from the start. First off, it was freezing outside and we had to wait for the bus. The bus was late of course, forty five minutes late. We got to the campus and got off the bus. Little did we know we had gotten off too early and had to walk to the museum. Oh well, no harm no foul. We got into the museum and it was interesting. It was the Eric Carle Picture Book Museum. Perhaps you've heard of these, The Very Hungry Caterpillar or Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?. He is the author. The museum has art from some famous picture books. They also have some of the books there for you to read, it's very nastalgic. Got to read some old favorites; The Poky Little Puppy and The Shy Little Kitten.

Now is when the fun begins. We start to walk back to the original bus stop and a bus passes right by us that we could've taken. We continue walking and end up waiting about a half hour for the bus. We are freezing and happily board the bus. As the bus begins it route we realize we are on the wrong bus. We are now caught in a continuous loop taking us everywhere but where we need to be. We decide to get off and wait for the right bus. We only had to wait maybe fifteen minutes but when its thirty degrees outside and rainy that is a very long time. We finally arrive back at home but we had to turn on the heater and thaw ourselves. Perhaps we won't be taking the bus for a while.

Alice in Wonderland

In preparation for the new movie coming out in March, I have started reading Alice in Wonderland. This is one of the more interesting books I have read recently. Its very "psychedelic" jumping from one plot to another. Don't get me wrong its very good but unlike anything else. One minute Alice is playing fetch with a giant puppy the next she's a giant getting caught in the trees. One thing I did like was that whole Mad Tea Party thing has been cleared up. I never understood in that cartoon movie why they had so much tea paraphanalia or why they were constantly moving. The reason is that the Mad Hatter got into an argument with Time and Time is punishing him by making it constantly tea time. They keep moving because they don't like to clean the dishes. I definitely recommend this one.

On a side note I just got back from a trip visiting my family and here's some pictures of the cute animals.

The Most Magical Place on Earth!!!!

Just got back from a thrilling vacation in Florida. Of course, my mother and I went to Disney World. I have been several times but its been a while, she had never been. It was interesting to notice the differences in some of the rides. Some things changed and otheres remained the same. I think we had a good time. Plus only one day of rain. I'm used to going in the summer when you can expect rain practically every day. The weather was certainly more appealing this time, compared to New England weather.

We stayed on the property which is very convenient. They drive you from the airport to your resort and they have buses running from your resort to each of the parks. You never have to drive or worry about parking.

We stayed in the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Its nice to wake up every morning to a giraffe outside your window. Its like a vacation on the savannah.

It might be predictable but my favorite of the parks was the Magic Kingdom. There's just something about that place that is truely magical. The rides are amazing, including my personal favorite Pirates of the Carribbean. They've added Jack Sparrow to the ride! I love the haunted mansion as well. It's not like its scary but I find it fun.

Waiting in lines wasn't too bad but you kind of have to expect long lines. Although in one ride we waited two hours!

Of course, all good things come to an end and we had to come home. The lines at the airport were insane. Guess this is a popular time to travel.

I'll leave you with some photos.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot like Christmas!!!!

I love Christmas, it has to be my favorite holiday. We have started a little tradition here in our tiny little dorm room. We decorate every year with Christmas decorations. I try to do a little bit more each year, to top the previous year. I have added so many lights and little things that its a wonder we don't blow fuses more often, although we recently did blow a fuse, haha.

No Christmas is complete without a Christmas tree, even if it is fake. If you look closely you might see Max and the Grinch hiding under the tree.

I went a little crazy with lights this year, hehe. The chain is courtesy of Miss Moon.

I even decorate the door for all to see.

Murphy's Law

Ever had one of those days where everything seems to go wrong. I had one of those days yesterday. First I went to my last Statistics class of the semester, yay, and the batteries in my PRS died. The PRS counts for participation and attendance in the class. Now, without the PRS, it seems like I didn't go to class.

Then my workplace calls me and tells me that I need to go back home in the middle of finals week to take a drug test. This will severely cut down on my study time.

Miss Moon and I left to go to store. We had gotten a fair amount of snow on wednesday. My car was covered and I didn't have an ice scraper. I had to improvise in order to get the car cleared off.

As I was clearing the snow, I noticed that there was a parking citation on my windshield for forty dollars. This citation stated that my plates did not match my permit. This is completely ridiculous and I will definitely appeal. I've had the car and the permit since February, how can they not match?

Once we had returned from the store we came back to the room and turned on the heat. We proceeded to lose power, again. This is the second time in the last couple of weeks.

At least the power did not take long to come back on. Hopefully Karma will have pity on me in the future.

Everybody's NOT Fine!

So, the other day Miss Moon and I went to see Everybody's Fine. We had seen the trailer a while back and thought it looked good. When I saw the trailer I thought, Oh feel good movie with Robert De Niro. Boy was I wrong. Don't misinterpret my opinion, I did enjoy the movie, it was just completely the opposite of what I expected. If you do go to see it plan to cry, its definitely sad at times.

On a side note, I saw Brothers too. This was a very good movie, but really emotionally deep. Tobey Maguire's performance is brilliant and should I dare say, Oscar worthy? I hope this movie continues to do well.

Kitty Cats!!!!!!!!

I was just messing around on youtube and I found the cutest kitten in the world. Watch as this kitten gets surprised.



I don't know why but I really like this one too. I'm sure most of you have seen it by now.
