Spring Break-Day 4

Day 4 was a fun day. We didn't really do much but what we did do was fun and exciting. I believe we started the day late as always and proceeded to lay out in the sun and then take a dip in the hot tub. Then there was much running and playing on the swings. Then we went back to the condo and had some amazing chicken cooked by our very own Lexie Homemaker. Then there was driving and singing and dancing in the car and a Sonic run. Then a not-so-scary movie (When a Stranger Calls) and a Wal-Mart run. Yay Wal-Mart at 3am! Then of course we slept.

The end.

Hugs all around!
Lexie Homemaker and her tasty chicken!

I love the swings!

Steph L. should be a comedian:
"You can squish my bladder, you can squish my ribs but you can't squish my breasts!"
"I can't infect people by myself."
"I only date guys with normal-colored lungs."
"Elizabeth, get a liver."

On that note, Elizabeth has a very nice liver, and a good sense of humor:
"Steph (L.), you're not meant to be in the middle."

Me:
"[Elizabeth] Please don't think about Brad Pitt while you're spooning with me."

The official end.

Spring Break-Day 2

Yesterday was amazing. I shall tell the story in pictures and funny quotes. And then actually tell the story.

Watch out for Steph L.

The end.

All good quotes come from Steph (L.):
"The Abomidable Ho-man!"
"This makes me want to get naked and roll around on the floor."
"'Cause I'm bad."
"Look at the Metopes."
"It's too intellectually loopy."
"I'm a UPPEAH nerd." (Urban Practice and Planning Environment Art History)
"Maybe in a foreign country fresh eggs."
"You break it down very nicely."
"Ooo... Look at that moo moo on him."
"With a wooden spoon that is."
"Tasty times abound."
And the one that took the cake:
"If you had wieners I would smack them all."

Lex is funny:
"You can work out with Richard Simmons."
"He couldn't keep it in his man-skirt."

Elizabeth is a very funny girl:
"They didn't even have pants."
"You are the proboscis monkey to my guerrilla."

Overall the day was again, amazing. We woke up around noon, ate, got ready and headed into Nashville. There we met Elizabeth's older sister, Delia who was totally awesome. We walked around downtown for a bit and then went to the Loveless cafe for dinner where we oddly enough ran into four guys from school. What are the odds that we would see people from Richmond in Nashville at the same restaurant on the outskirts of town at the same time? It was pretty insane.

After we got back to the condo we watched Troy (yay Brad Pitt) and then decided we wanted to go to Wal-Mart. So what if it was three in the morning? We're on Spring Break we can go to Wal-Mart whenever we want! We had some pretty awesome times there. I bought a pretty new sun dress and a cute t-shirt.

Then it was back to the condo for candy and sleep.

Good times.

Stay tuned for more pictures and funny quotes from Spring Break '08!

Jouralism Dont's

In the book we're reading for News Writing, Reporting for the Media, the lesson on "Don't Write Like This" had a few examples that I thought were pretty hilarious. These were taken from people's descriptions of their accidents on insurance forms.

"I thought my window was down, but I found out it was up when I put my head through it."

"In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole."

"I was on my way to the doctor with rear-end trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have engine trouble."

"I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him."

"I saw a slow-moving, sad-faced old gentlemen as he bounced off the roof of my car."

"To avoid hitting the bumper on the car in front, I hit a pedestrian."

And my personal favorite:


"The pedestrian had no idea which way to run, so I ran over him."

Dogs and Books

"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside a dog, it's too dark to read." -Groucho Marx
