David Hasselhoff is the Spice....


I just had to share the most bizarre thing I've written in a while... Quick background on it; I was telling Drummergirl that we have to make a collage for my Death & Dying class and I was only slightly worried because the only collage's I've done are strange and funny. Here is what was written...
DG-"Hmm. I am not a big fan of collages for use in academic classes. I wouldn’t worry about it. Just be yourself."
Me-"Oh, I will, but I better not get marked down if they have pictures of cats I can work with. I can just picture it; “Um, Miss Gynagirl, just how does pictures of cat heads stuck on people’s heads in hospital beds convey your feelings about suffering?”
DG-"Oh man, I am crying that is so funny. What would your answer to that be?"
Me-"Well, as you can tell by the Unicorn flying out of the picture of the microwave dinner, that represents our spirits going to god, that we are a human body, but our mind (represented with the kitten head) is no longer logical and reverts to basic animalistic tendencies when faced with immediate death and I threw in a picture of David Hasselhoff sprouting from a syringe for no particular reason.”
DG-"Perhaps collage can be helpful in academic situations after all."


P.S. I am so grateful that Drummgergirl still emails me on a daily basis.

Monsters on a small, large & personal scale


On Friday, Mr. Drummergirl & I went to see "Cloverfield" which was AWESOME! Loved it. Will probably check it out again. Sunday, my uncle, mother & I went to check out the "Bodies Revealed" exhibit here in town. Very cool, but my uncle told me that the one here in town is about half the size of the one that is in larger cities. It doesn't have all the diseases and deformities that the larger one has. I was still pretty cool. I did feel weird checking out the insides of Chinese prisoners especially because some of them were in poses like swinging a golf club... I likely doubt that the prisoners played golf. Well, in the afterlife they get a chance... Started school this week. Yoga & Death and Dying should be pretty easy & interesting, but I am also taking Microbiology. The professor told us that if we didn't take any prior Biology classes in college that we probably wouldn't pass the class. It is a bit disheartening because the only pre-requisite for the class is Chemistry, which I took. I wish the counselor told me that I should take a regular Biology course before this one. Talked it over with my mom & Drummergirl and they helped me make the decision to keep with the class and bust my butt and if I find that I am lost, I can drop the class. The only thing is that the class is expensive. Lab supplies and all the books come to close to $400. I'd hate to invest so much money (which I don't have to waste) & have to drop the class. It would also set me back a semester. I could take a Biology course in the summer time to refresh and retake Micro in the fall, but I hate that I might have to prolong my schooling. I am so close so it is frustrating. I will give it my all and bust my booty and get her done!
