Smelly Cat

I hate the smell of formaldehyde. This isn't something that I've just realized, I've known this little fact since high school. The reason that this comes up is because in my anatomy lab we started the disection process today. Yep, we started by skinning the cat today. Even after washing my hands and arms up to my elbows I still can't get the smell off. The smell is the worst on my hands for obvious reasons. My hands have this really disgusting latex/formaldehyde smell emitting off of them.

Tag you're it, no tag backs

Here I was minding my own business when I visited Diane's Stuff to find out that I'd been tagged. So here goes.

List seven songs that you are listening to right now. Now matter the genre, whether they have words or even if they are any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions with your seven songs. Then tag seven people.

1) "A New Escape" Phathom

2) "Fake Tales of San Francisco" Artic Monkeys

3) "Monsters" Matchbook Romance

4) "Don't Stand Up" This Holiday Life


5) "Aye Julian" Meriwether

*6) "Ugly" Kwench

*7) "Bull Takes Fighter" Stavesacre


I honestly don't have seven people to tag that haven't already done this little game. So if you're stumbling over this post; pick it up, dust it off and put it where it belongs.

*In accordance to the rules I added two more songs

The Brothers Weird are not scared

I watched The Brothers Grimm not having anything higher than moderate expectations for it. It had a few moments when it was funny but the movie was blah as a whole. It had moments that were slightly weird. One of my friends left early claiming that it was too weird for him but I however think that I for the most part must have become slightly desensitized to weirdness. Either that or this freind of mine is hypersensetive to weirdness.

Safety

In today's issue of the school newspaper there was an article about how more security cameras are going to be installed in the near future. In the paper there is always a section where they ask random students about an issue that was written about in that weeks paper. This week it was about the security cameras. One of the comments was so stupid, ok maybe not stupid but excedingly ignorant as to border on idiotic. The comment, and you know I'm qouting, was "I don't think they should put cameras on campus. There isn't even crime on campus or in Dumpusville. They are just wasting our money." I for obviouse reasons changed the name of the town.

I admit that Dumpusville,USA doesn't have as much crime as any of the larger cities but to blatently say that it has absolutely no crime whatsoever is crazy. I know for a fact that there have been crimes commited on campus, not serious ones but crimes all the same. I know this because the annual release of the stats of the crimes commited over the course of the year was released within the last month. So to say that there have been no crimes commited on campus is even crazier. I'm not saying that my school is unsafe, as a matter of fact I'd go the other way and say that it is fairly safe. I feel as safe as I reasonably can.

In case you are wondering I haven't named my school in the year that I've been blogging and I don't plan on starting so don't ask me since I'm not going to name my school.

"Feel the rhythm, Feel the rhyme..."

I for various reasons dislike the Olympics. One of the reasons is that they just flat out bore me and always have. I guess that the Olympics just seem like pointless competions to me. Oh, yeah I'm aware of the line that they supposedly foster a sense of good will between countries, but is that an empirically proven fact? Don't think for a second that I'm saying that the Olympics shouldn't be held, I'm just basically saying that I dislike them I dislike watching them.

Waste of time cubed

I just told a freind a practical means to an end and was accused of cheating. I can honestly see where their're coming from since by most, if not all, definitions it is. What I'm talking about is using a Sharpie to colour all the stickers on a Rubix Cube. Cheating? Yes, but a funny joke.

Mismangaed Management

Sometimes I think that a "weird magnent" has been implanted under my skin. I say this because I sometimes the weird ones just walke up to me and start talking for absolutly no apparent reason. The other night I was studying for an anatomy lab test in the lobby of my dorm when an international student came up and started talking to me. Normally this wouldn't be a bad thing but this guy is weird with a capital fruit cake. Yes, you read correctly weird with a capital fruit cake. When I saw him walking towards me I just groaned and wished that I had run as soon as I saw him walking towards me. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against international students as a whole.

Oddness...on a stick

For some odd reason I had a strong urge to watch the Captian America movie that came out in the early 90's. I mean sure it was a bit camp and it seems as if it had a horribly low production budget but I mean it was enjoyable in a somewhat perverse way. I'm not saying that it would likely ever be on my all time favourites list, much less my favourites list. Yes, there is a differece between the two lists but it's all a matter of defanition.

Happy, happy, joy, joy

Don't you think that it's odd how you think of something or someone and than later that either later it happens or they call, totally and completely by chance. This comes up because day I was really wanting creamy macaroni and cheese and at dinner there it was. I had absolutely no way of knowing that macaroni and cheese was going to be served. I was excited and did a little happy dance in my head.
