Sickly

Shit. No I'm not so happy it's Tuesday. That is how I feel right now, and whenever I get sick I always go back to my childhood and one of my favorite poems (and poets) of all time.

"I cannot go to school today,"
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I'm going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I've counted sixteen chicken pox
And there's one more--that's seventeen,
And don't you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut--my eyes are blue--
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke--
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb.
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is--what?
What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is. . .Saturday?
G'bye, I'm going out to play!"

Wasn't Shel Silverstein so awesome?!

My Deep (or just regular) Thoughts on the Oscars

I don't think I've ever watched an entire awards show. I mean they usually do the important awards at the beginning and end so there is no need to watch in between...unless it's the Tonys and they are entertaining you the whole time.

I was surprised to find that actually kept the Oscars on most of the time last night, and here is what I thought. There will be no fashion insight here seeing as how that will be covered in magazines and on TV for at least the next couple of weeks.

• Anne Hathaway constantly whoo-ing during applause. Did anyone else hear her? I think we would be great friends
• Hugh Jackman as host. I was wondering how he would fare. I mean he has hosted the Tonys before. You could tell too since most things involving him were song and dance.
• Seth Rogen laughing after James Franco botched the winning short film's name. Awesome.
• Kate Winslet winning. I'm glad she finally won but was this really the right character. I guess I just need to watch the movie to find out for myself, but most of the reviews I've read on the movie weren't the best. I guess it just depends on who you are up against which still doesn't make sense since Meryl was in the mix.
• Speaking of Meryl...15 nominations. Wow.
• Did you notice that they showed Brad and Angelina while Jennifer Anniston was on stage presenting? Always scandalous.
  
• Anne Hathaway and her idol Meryl Streep. Hathaway was thrilled to work with Streep in Devil Wears Prada not even dreaming that a year later she would be nominated against her.
• Jerry Lewis. You see my sister and brother decided to call during his marathon one time and donate. My parents weren’t too happy about this.
• I liked how they presented the main awards by getting previous winners on stage to say a little something about one of the nominees.
• I didn’t realize Michael Crichton had died until they were doing the people lost montage. I guess I missed that last year when it happened.
• Sean Penn. Really? I don’t even think he thanked his wife Jen-nay (for all of you Forrest Gump fans out there). I did agree with him on one thing though...he does make it hard for you to like him.

That's all I got. On a side note, I think I've broken the Guinness World record for number of sneezes in a 24 hour period. LIG (Life is Good). That's what I tell myself when my day isn't going so well. You should try it. It's pretty funny.

Keller Show

Whoa it's been a busy week. Doesn't it always happen that all of your projects have an important deadline on the same day? I will say thanks to Auburn for preparing for this aspect of life though. I think my professors always got together to talk over test dates and project deadlines because they always happened on the same day or at least the same week. So thanks Auburn.

I got to see my dad this week which was nice. I didn't find out until interning a couple of summers ago that my dad is actually based out of Nashville, and his office is literally 1 mile from my office. Weird, huh?

So after such a busy week at work, what better way to relax than roadtripping it for a Keller show. Yea! I missed him when he was in Nash a couple of weeks back because I was working my hiny off on my first big timing customer presentation so I'll be heading down to Huntsvegas to see him tonight. Yea!

It has actually been 5 maybe 6 years since I last saw Keller live, which is just sad if you ask me seeing as how he actually came to Auburn while I was there. He's awesome to listen to but so much better live since he does the whole loop/one man band thing. I've posted some of my faves of his below. I guess I lean towards the funny songs. He does amazing covers too: Jimi, Joni, Queen. That's right...I said Queen. Enjoy!

someecards.com

I added something new to the sidebar --> You see it? That's right. I'm going to randomly select (and by randomly select I mean read through numerous) ecards to put up on holidays or every week or so.

I first caught on to someecards.com a year or so ago when facebook added the bumper sticker app which had many of their ecards. These cards are awesome, and I found the one below the other day. Work has just been ridiculous for me lately so this really hit close to home...and made me laugh out loud (lol).


I'm actually working right now. Blah.
