Warren: “…if you get caught between the moon and New York City…”

Dottie: You know, the distance between the moon and New York City actually varies due to the moon’s elliptical orbit.

Warren: Oh, elliptical. Well, my, my — they must be using some awfully big words on the Cartoon Network.

Dottie: Actually, Laura, I studied astronomy in college. In fact, I graduated with a perfect G.P.A. Whereas the only 4.0 Warren ever got was on a breathalyzer test. -Greg the Bunny

This week I’ve been incredibly frustrated with my job. Yesterday I felt like I wanted to scream when I was forced to do admin work because our admin assistant was let go. I spent the afternoon organizing office supplies and printing out documents to send to clients. I don’t mind helping out, but I was so bored I wanted to pull my hair out. I’m pretty sure time actually ticked backwards.

So I’ve taken the first step and applied for financial aid for the spring semester, and I’m working on my graduate application. For those of you who have done this, pointers PLEASE! I’m stuck on writing my personal statement for my graduate application, and I’ve got a wicked case of writer’s block. (more…)

Piper: You broke your ankle when you were seven. Come on Prue, we went to Duran Duran together, you stretched out my leg warmers.

Phoebe: And then you gave them to me. -Charmed

Sunday I couldn’t wait for Match to get home. I kept wishing that he were there with me when I was out grocery shopping and running errands. I wished we could go to the Halloween store together and pick out a costume. It’s crazy that Halloween is right around the corner. Even harder to believe when Safeway already has its artificial christmas trees and Christmas decorations all over the place. I really wish they’d put that stuff away until at least Thanksgiving. I love me some Christmas, but isn’t it a bit soon?

Anyways, I digress. I think I may have wished a little too hard for Match to be with me, because as soon as I got home from shopping, I had a text from Match saying he hurt his foot and needed a ride home. I called him up, and turns out he rolled his ankle really badly and wasn’t sure if it was broken. When I asked what heroic thing he was doing when it happened, he confessed sheepishly that he was playing basketball with the firefighters for their physical training. D’oh! (more…)

Meredith: You should take something.
Cristina: Drugs are for babies.
Izzie: I hate Alex.
Cristina: And the non sequitur award goes to…
Izzie: I’m sorry, I hate Alex.
Meredith: I broke up with Derek.
Cristina: Burke wants to have a relationship.
Izzie: Boys are stupid.
Cristina: Yep.                                                                                                                    -Grey’s Anatomy

Drama Chick called me on Thursday afternoon bawling her eyes out. Turns out that B broke up with her, completely out of the blue. As much as I think they weren’t right for each other, it’s still super sad, and my heart broke for her. (more…)

Cindy: And be extra careful on those deep hiking trails.

Brenda: We will.

Cindy: And be sure to head back to the camp well before dark!

Brenda: We will.

Cindy: And make sure those boys stay on top of you…when you’re hiking, that is.                                                                              -Beverly Hills, 90210

As I’ve mentioned before, Match and I are slowly getting to know a new group of friends. Couple Friends are a part of the group, along with Drama Chick and B. They’re a fun bunch, and the group mostly consists of couples, which is nice for us. We hung out a lot with one of these couples on Prom Night. It turns out they love going hiking and doing outdoor stuff as much as we do, so I’ve nicknamed them Outdoor Couple. (more…)
