Ok so we were supposed to find a list in Finnegan's Wake, and I think I found one on page 123. oh nice I didnt even notice the page before this. Anyway I belive it is a list or catalog of different books or people or places or things... I can't even pretend to understand any or all that it says.

Peanut Butter Jelly Time
*sigh* well I am way behind in my blogging so I am planning on making an afternoon of it!! I have my songlist selected (a variety of Shania Twain, Michel Buble, Mamma Mia, Seven Bride for Seven Brothers Soundtrack, and a few randomly good songs), I have my writing buddy Chexy next to me on her chair...
Chexy
And my embroidery to take up the time when I really have to think about what I want to write...
This was my last project....
This is what I am currently working on....
Here we go!!!
So after Groundhog's Day when Mr. Sexson told us that he had wanted us to dig deeper and convey our thoughts rather than our day, I took some notes from two days after Groundhog's Day.
Here's something for you to keep in mind about my mind... there is ALWAYS a song stuck in my head... twice in my life I have had moments where there was silence, once when I was walking down the hall in my highschool, during class, when I was all alone; and once when I was sitting on the couch. So you may see song titles thoughout this, do not be alarmed, this is just how it would be if you were in my mind.
That morning, I woke up ("Peanut Butter Jelly Time" "PBJT" from family guy) thinking about death. One year ago that day, a girl I had gone to school with since first grade passed away. I don't deal with death well. It is so incomprehensible to me that it overwhelms my mind and freaks me out. I dont know if it is a good thing or not, but I have not had to deal with many deaths that directly effected me, when I was in first grade my Grandma Martha passed away. That was really awful. Then in fifth grade my dog Otis died, two Halloween's ago my cat Cheerios passed away. That is really all I have had to deal with,(other than the occaisional fish) so for the most part I try to ignore the thought. But here it is rearing its ugly head. So many thoughts pass through my mind it is hard to hold on to one long enough to make any sense of anything. Disbelief, sadness, hope, fear, and of course WHY? Even now, analyzing this thoughts, I only come up with NOTHING. (PBJT)
After I hit this wall AGAIN, I forced the thought from my mind and went about my day. As I got ready I spent the morning having a conversation with Chexy who is the loudest, most talkative cat ever!! We discussed why she had to follow me from room to room. Now I am not one of those crazy cat ladies, but yes I do talk to my animals b/c they are a part of my family. Anyway, before I knew it, I was in the passenger seat of the suburban with my mom behind the wheel. We carpool to save the environment.... HA no, I just didnt want to drive. As I pulled my shoes on, and had to tie them, I relived my hatred for tying shoes. Later that day venting my hatred to a friend as I was forced to tie the left shoe over again Grrr. (PBJT)
Running late for class I rushed to Wilson hall for my first class, smiling as I inwardly danced to Them Sobbin Women from 7B47B. I arrived just in the nick of time!! Yay for my spot being open!! usually there is someone who tries to steal my perfect seat. In the corner and in the back... it gives me the perfect vantage point over the whole room and keeps me far enough from everyone that I don't get crowded or cranky. Class starts, fear settles in as I have not done the reading... again. Frantically I search the pages in hopes of something I can twist to sound intelligent. But all I get is PBJT. Oh well I just wont talk. Instead I spent the time as I frequently do, DONT LAUGH!!! I imagine the people around me in the time period clothes that they should have been born in. Lame I know, and yet your curious, what is your era? well for laughing you will now never know!! So here are some examples:
Mr. Sexson: The early 1800's
Mr. Leubner: 1920's paperboy style
Well you get the idea. I am stil unsure as to my era, but I am working on it. (So now thinking of outfits, the song from Pride and Predjudice enters my mind, from the new one, even thought the 1995 one is better.)
Class ends and now I have an hour to do nothing... crap I have to read for tomorrow's class, off to the library. Ugh I hate the fact that they moved the videos from the basement, it used to be like a treasure hunt finding the right one. Now it is out in the open like everything else. I sit down at the far table on the right on Clowder Flats (tee hee hee i thought it was chowder til this year) so that I can watch people walk by outside of the unpassable doors. What a waste. "The Coming Race" one of the first science fiction novels EVER! And as he makes his way through the story, Idiana Jones theme song makes its way into my mind. Ahhh I love love stories, until they are ruined and the people never see eachother again. the end. Aww what a good book! Ugh temp pour francais.
I climb the stairs in reid imagining that I am Indie making my way up an ancient temple to save all mankind. I failed. oh well I will try again tomorrow. Bonjour mon amies, ca va? Je suis tres mal :( je ne veux pas aller au francais, parce que la salle de classe est trop petite et les discours de professeur aussi rapidement. Oui. There is no time left for thinking in French class. It is just direct objects, and nouns and verbs and other things I dont understand. And the clock... OH THAT CLOCK. It is the only classroom that I am in that has a clock,and it just sits there watching me (tee hee hee watching me) and going slower just to make me mad! tick....tock......tick...........tock........................tic..k............to...ck.....
You get it right? That thing is gonna kill me.
OH Thank God its time to go!!!! even though the teacher kept us 4 minutes late... I hate being kept late when I have somewhere to be. I receive a text from Alyssa (my BSFF it wouldnt be entertaining to you so i will just giggle to myself about the inside joke... oh no I lost the game.) asking if we are gonna get lunch together, I respond with an "ok if we must" giggling again on the inside. (Spira Dota by bass hunter) So yet again I make my way to class with a dorky smile tugging at my lips as i recall the tale of the tale of BSFF. Wilson, what a funky smelling hall. People refusing to use the right doors to exit a building run into me. Keep right, Keep moving. Did noone else learn this in KINDERGARTEN!?!?!? Grrr if only I had the nerve to trip them... but then again that would be mean, but I am late for class, and I just came from french, and they didnt use their door, I think I have the right to be mean! YEAH! Darn they are already walking away. I'll get'em next time.
Ugh room 115. I feel like I am in a shrunken room in Alice In Wonderland. I squish myself into my seat. aim forward, while a stream of inappropriate words flows through my mind because of the room. I am not a fish person, and I really hate feeling like one... well except when I do the fish face thing... but grr. Kelsey and I greet one another, recount events from the day and such (I have to go to work after lunch and I just recently realized that someone I work with looks like the main guy in Nightmare B/4 Xmas. Cue main song from that.) and then class begins. Tee hee hee Mr. Sexson should have a top hat and a cane, one with an amber topper... with a mosquito in it.. hee then he could bring back dinosaurs, but in an evil genius kind of way... like using dinos to force people to read Finnegan's Wake Mwhahahahaha with that kind of power he could definately take over the world!
Whilst musing about that, I listened to the class. (Pride and Prejudice song) Although with my gerbil like attention, I soon began sketching ideas for my Virginia City dress. Yeah I'm a reinactment junky. My friends and I go to Virginia City twice each summer to attend a Civil War reinactment ball. You know southern bell dresses and all that jazz. And of course we make our own dresses, people who dont are just wimps.
Here we are last August!!
Well the dress I have in mind is going to be these colors:
And will be completely different from last years dress. I am going to slut it up so to say, but in Victorian terms I would be using colors to rich for a young lady such as myself. Oops class is done, what was that last thing that was mentioned...? oh well, class is over by 3 or 4 minutes, but I dont mind, for I am off to lunch with Alyssa and my mom at the sub, yet again.
Well I think that is enough to compensate for my lack of info from my last blog, so yeah. Like I have been told many times I suck at endings therefore I will use my sure ender.

The Four Starquartreks!
After reading through The Four Quartets and thinking about The Inner Light episode of Star Trek, something on page 14 had me a pondering....
"The surface glittered out of heart of light,
And they were behind us, reflected in the pool.
Then a cloud passed,and the pool was empty."
This is the part where the pool is empty, yet full of meaning. It made me think of the ending message that the Kataanians leave for the Captain. From this empty world,
the fleeting memories (moments of heart of light)of the Kataanians will live forever in the depths of the Captain's mind... well that and the flute. But more importantly the Captain's mind!
"Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door never opened
Into the rose-garden. My words echo
Thus, in your mind."
Footfalls... echo... memory.....
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Flute!
The flute echoes the memory of the life that the Captain never really lived.

Meka leka hi meka hiny ho
So for my 30 words that I am working on memorizing, I put it to music, but I could never figure out how to work in the "Minneha, Minniehi minaaehe, minneho!" stuff. The other day as I was repeating it over and over, it took on a chant-like sound and reminded me of this...
Yes this is from Pee Wee's Playhouse!!! Jambi's chant to grant Pee Wee's wishes sound alot like Joycian writing!!
Does that make Pee Wee a High brow show? Well maybe not for its script, but some of the things on Pee Wee's Playhouse had my eyebrows way up in surpirse!!!!
(Ps did you know that Morpheus on The Matrix was Cowboy Curtis on Pee Wee's Playhouse?!?!?!?!)
Mmm hmmm...

Eww this is disgustingly long, so if you don't read it, I understand.
OK so random thing.... Kelsey wrote a blog about a dream where a T-Rex was chasing her and it reminded me of a dream I had in elementary school...
So WWWWwwwwaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy back when I had a crush on (We'll call him Jake), Ok so I had a crush on Jake,(ugh i know) anyway, we were playing out on the playground at school when a T-Rex came charging across the playground. It grabbed Jake in its mouth and savagely ripped him apart... This was the MOST VIOLENT dream I had ever had, EVER! I woke up as Jake's leg fell to the ground. The next day when I saw him, the crush was gone, permanently!!!! It is so strange the things that are remembered, and what is forgotten.
On a happier note, HAPPY GROUNDHOG'S DAY!!!!!
Ok so today, I jumped the gun and managed to wake up at 4:28am luckily I willed myself back to sleep so I could wake up a 6, instead I compromised by waking up a 6:30, seeing as how I had been awake for that long already, I didn't want it to throw me off! Thankfully I awoke not a moment too soon, for I was trapped in a dream that I am still trying to understand...
I used to work at Llama Llama Books, on main (it is no longer there) and my boss was Leslie. In my dream she called me up and asked me why I hadn't submitted a menu yet? I was just as confused as you are, so I asked her what she meant. She replied that I had agreed to cater the wedding dinner for Vivica Fox. (Idk either last time I saw her was in the movie Boat Trip) So frantically I began running around my living room trying to put together something that I could pass off as a dinner for a bunch of people in just a day. Luckily Alyssa (my bff) shows up and helps me. We came up with a brilliant idea to make the vegetables that would be served to the kids out of paper... so Alyssa cut out paper veggies, as I tried to grill pork chops for the adults, while making scrambled eggs. But the grill was tricky, for some reason the pork chops kept falling down through the grate into the charcoal. While I was trying to fish out the blackened meat, my phone rang, and it was Leslie again. This time she was asking about the wedding cake... in the back of my mind I was freaking out b/c I knew I only had red fondant (the stuff you put on wedding cakes to make them fancy) and I knew that wouldn't work for a wedding cake. I hung up the phone and made a dash for.... and that's when I woke up! YAY!! Talk about a nightmare!
From there my day got better. Well kind of. I was a bit groggy and grumpy having to wake up so early. That and I had to tie my shoes, which I hate tying my shoes... even though I do it everyday, today it was especially vexing. While I was getting ready, Chexy (my 19yr old cat, who is black) followed me around wanting me to pet her, while Bertram (my 10yr old cat, who is a very happily chubby tabby) used all of his sneaky mind tricks to get me to give him Cruchies (crunchies - not even once). He went outside like a brave kitty, then came in and ran to his mat by the sink and waited patiently for a crunchie... he got some. Later when Stanley (the dog) was outside, Bert mewed at me letting me know Stan was at the door... he got a crunchie. And as I was headed out of the door, he looked up at me, made eye contact, mewed in his little kitty voice, then winked his left eye at me (not even kidding) ... he got some more!
Happiness began to set in when I got into the car and turned on the heated seat, I could have stayed there ALL DAY!!! But no, I had homework to do and I was hungry. So I went to the sub with my mom (who I carpooled with, and she works on campus) and we had breakfast. I had a bagel sandwich - white, with sausage, and eggs WELL done (i HATE runny eggs). We had a nice breakfast, then she went to work, and I headed over to the Library, where I sat in the table area downstairsish until 10:30ish. There I did my homework for my 19th Century Brit Lit class, aka reading The Coming Race, I recommend it, I am not one to enjoy books chosen by my professors, but indeed I was quite pleased.
While I worked oh so hard, I texted Alyssa (P.s. in French, text is Texto! Tee Hee)
"HAPPY GROUNDHOG'S DAY!!!"
she replied "Even though phil said we are going to have 6 more weeks of winter, i believe the python that says we are almost done with winter. Phil has lied before, while the python has been telling the truth all 8 years he's been predicting!"
I responded completely confused "What kind of nonsense was that phil is right, we shall have winter, but it will be a warm sunny winter that more resembles summer! The Python should die." I don't like snakes.
She responds "Whatever! Phil is a stupid little rodent! Like YOU!"
I retort "Nuh Uh! You slithering serpent from hell! (devil smiley face that smiles and reveals vampire teeth)"
Then I sit there all alone snickering at our 5th grade banter...
And so ends our meaningful conversation about this Groundhog's Day!
(this is the part where I paused and took a break from retelling my entire day)
Oh yeah, I wore a new white fleece jacket and it got fluffy fuzzies all over my purse and black shirt.
Oh yeah, again, I also bought an erasable highlighter from the bookstore. I'm pretty stoked!!
Once I finished the book, I went to the computers on the main level to google what "viz." meant... apparently it implies "namely", "that is to say", and "as follows", generally after this word there is a list or a description. At the computer my friend Stephanie came up, (who I haven't seen since last summerish). We talked about daily schools stuff, she showed me the tinsel she had tied into her hair (it was sparkily). Then I headed off to class, where I met up with Kelsey (we have class together). We sat down... then we had to split into the goups we had gotten into on friday, and work with the partner we had on friday... ugh... We then proceeded to dissect The Coming Race. Class finally ended so Kelsey and I left Wilson and walked under the walkway thing, where there is a large blob of ice that makes me angry. We parted ways, and I called my mom to see what she was doing for lunch, she was with my brother Keegan, at Cafe Zydeco. So the car was all mine. The suburban was parked in the first parking lot after pay parking so I was uber excited! But as it was 12:20ish, people were out in full force spot sharking... I of course was no exception. I began to back up and had to pull forward a couple times to get the right angle to get out and not hit any ones car... mean while I had a jaws shark... (the car slowly creeps closer, and your mind you hear Dun Dun, Dun Dun, Dun Dun,) ugh. Well I made it out and was on my way. I drove home on autopilot. I rang the doorbell, knowing that no one was home, but in order to make the dog bark... He did, though not as ferociously scared as usual, so I questioned his manliness as I headed to the back door (he wont go pee if you let him out the front door), and let him out after getting a hug.
(slight pause to go get some dinner... nothing sounded good so I am munching on some cheese its!)
Bored and wanting to avoid homework, I weighed the cats... Chexy - 12pounds 2ounces, Bertram - 14pounds. Yeah I didn't have much else to do, and I saw the scale and Chexy was chasing me so I got interested. After, I got my homework out and set it on the table, then went to the living room and watched Bones. It has terrible acting, but it is addictive. I was startled when the doorbell rang (it NEVER rings), so I hopped up and answered the door. It was my neighbor, he needed to borrow a ladder so I grabbed it and gave it to him. Then I went searching for a little red mailbox thing I know I have somewhere in my closet, I didn't find it, but I did find my old cd player and it had my Phantom Of The Opera cd in it,YAY! It has been "lost" for a couple years now. I also found a clip on earring of Simba from the Lion King that I is an original from when the movie came out. I also found my old movie ticket stubs, my fortune cookie fortunes, a purple arrowhead, a bar of cucumber melon soap from bath and body works, my green day bracelet, a mix cd I made a few years ago titled "Miss Austen... Yes?... Good Night." *Sigh*(anyone who has seen Becoming Jane knows what I mean!), and other random, but meaningful things.
That leads us up to now... still no dinner ideas, sitting next to Chexy who is helping me, with more blogs yet to come.
Happy Groundhog's Day!
So WWWWwwwwaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy back when I had a crush on (We'll call him Jake), Ok so I had a crush on Jake,(ugh i know) anyway, we were playing out on the playground at school when a T-Rex came charging across the playground. It grabbed Jake in its mouth and savagely ripped him apart... This was the MOST VIOLENT dream I had ever had, EVER! I woke up as Jake's leg fell to the ground. The next day when I saw him, the crush was gone, permanently!!!! It is so strange the things that are remembered, and what is forgotten.
On a happier note, HAPPY GROUNDHOG'S DAY!!!!!
Ok so today, I jumped the gun and managed to wake up at 4:28am luckily I willed myself back to sleep so I could wake up a 6, instead I compromised by waking up a 6:30, seeing as how I had been awake for that long already, I didn't want it to throw me off! Thankfully I awoke not a moment too soon, for I was trapped in a dream that I am still trying to understand...
I used to work at Llama Llama Books, on main (it is no longer there) and my boss was Leslie. In my dream she called me up and asked me why I hadn't submitted a menu yet? I was just as confused as you are, so I asked her what she meant. She replied that I had agreed to cater the wedding dinner for Vivica Fox. (Idk either last time I saw her was in the movie Boat Trip) So frantically I began running around my living room trying to put together something that I could pass off as a dinner for a bunch of people in just a day. Luckily Alyssa (my bff) shows up and helps me. We came up with a brilliant idea to make the vegetables that would be served to the kids out of paper... so Alyssa cut out paper veggies, as I tried to grill pork chops for the adults, while making scrambled eggs. But the grill was tricky, for some reason the pork chops kept falling down through the grate into the charcoal. While I was trying to fish out the blackened meat, my phone rang, and it was Leslie again. This time she was asking about the wedding cake... in the back of my mind I was freaking out b/c I knew I only had red fondant (the stuff you put on wedding cakes to make them fancy) and I knew that wouldn't work for a wedding cake. I hung up the phone and made a dash for.... and that's when I woke up! YAY!! Talk about a nightmare!
From there my day got better. Well kind of. I was a bit groggy and grumpy having to wake up so early. That and I had to tie my shoes, which I hate tying my shoes... even though I do it everyday, today it was especially vexing. While I was getting ready, Chexy (my 19yr old cat, who is black) followed me around wanting me to pet her, while Bertram (my 10yr old cat, who is a very happily chubby tabby) used all of his sneaky mind tricks to get me to give him Cruchies (crunchies - not even once). He went outside like a brave kitty, then came in and ran to his mat by the sink and waited patiently for a crunchie... he got some. Later when Stanley (the dog) was outside, Bert mewed at me letting me know Stan was at the door... he got a crunchie. And as I was headed out of the door, he looked up at me, made eye contact, mewed in his little kitty voice, then winked his left eye at me (not even kidding) ... he got some more!
