It has been a few days since my last confession...er...entry. We shall begin with highlights from rehersal:
The Exercise Ball of Doom!
Out damn sheep!
Aaron had to do something impressive for Karla and he stood in front of her and pretended to undo his fly. You had to see the look on his face to truly appreciate the hilarity.
And now onto the cookie experiment. I made Pat cookies for his birthday tomorrow. I. Do. Not. Cook. I can barely boil water. But I made them, damn it. I managed to get flour on EVERYTHING and drop a half melted chocolate chip down my shirt, but Pat will have cookies. The first tray came out huge and brown, the second medium sized and undercooked, and the third tray was pretty perfect. So I have cookies of various and assorted shapes, sizes, and colors.
I hope he likes them. He really should appreciate how much I must like him to risk life and limb in baking. Sheesh.
Anyways, I have a textbook quote to add to the posts of funny textbook quotes.
"Dr. J Mayer's work was the first to really contain the notion of Conservation of Energy,(1842) but it generated little interest beyond ridicule. Mayer was overwhelmed by a deep depression, fed by derision and made more intense by the death of two of his children. Lost in despair, he leapt from a second story window (1849) in a painfully unsuccessful attempt at suicide. Within two years he was a straightjacketed inmate in an insane asylum."
Physics: Third Edition, Eugene Hecht (I especially like the inclusion of the year in which he failed to die)
Also, a random Hannah quote: I have the sudden urge to go back to bed. Only it's not sudden...and it's more of an aching need.
And finally, the movie quote! The last movie was indeed Carrie, which was around long before Adam Sandler. Janeea and Becky got it correct, and they each get a telekenesis point. Here is a new quote, which I like even though it goes agaoinst my general attitude toward the beverage "No! No tea! No tea!"
