Back to my usual cynicism. Group projects. I have been working with one of my two group members since it was assigned six weeks ago. It is due tomorrow. I just received an email from our other group member asking if there was anything she could do to help. I refrained from emailing her back and saying, "Oh emailing us back six weeks ago when we started would have been good." I did not, though I don't think her name will be going on the final project, which I will be printing when I finish this blog. Sorry! So if you have a group project, email your group back when they first try to contact you, not the night before it's due, because chances are, it's already done, and sucks for you, but you didn't help, and your name isn't going on the project.
Lastly, let's acknowledge some crazy. Tyra Banks. I was watching Lifetime last night, and a rerun of Tyra came on. I personally love Tyra in all of her insane glory, so last night, when she announces she will be giving someone in the audience a haircut, I couldn't change the channel. It was quite possibly the most hilarious thing I have ever seen. It was also one of the ugliest haircuts I have ever seen. I'm glad my friend called to wake me up to watch it, though, and I must admit, that no matter how crazy she is, and how much that haircut looked like it fell straight out of the eighties, I would let Tyra give me a haircut. So watch Tyra. It's awesome, I love her, she makes me feel sane.
You're welcome,
Rock
It's Valentine's Day and it's not even close. Halloween is not a pointless holiday. In fact, it's the greatest holiday that's ever been/will be. If you don't realize that, then I have to start doubting your so-called "superiority." Also, I'm pretty sure that the middle paragraph here is just one long run-on sentence separated by eighty to ninety commas. But I could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteOkay, got to give it to Ben here. Hallowe'en is spiritual, spooky, fun, and you get free candy. Valentine's day "celebrates" the death of a mythical "saint" and you have to buy candy to give others. Orange and black vs. pink and red. No contest. Cobwebs vs. lace. No contest.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to go with Valentine's Day as the more/most pointless holiday. The only reason I would ever say it's not pointless is that it is the third largest commercial holiday. It comes in right behind Halloween in fact. Other than being a relatively reliable source of revenue for Hallmark and Hersey, V Day is just a day designed to force people into saying and doing things that they don't mean.

Omg. I hate group projects for the exact reason that is written above. This always happens and somehow I always end up doing all the work because I cannot trust other people to do it for me! I would also like to agree with Tyra being crazy/insane. I chose to watch America's Next Top Model this season and in one episode she dressed up as a super hero and had like crazy powers, need I say more?
ReplyDeleteCallie I'm glad you forgave my slight against the Red Sox and came back. And Super Smize was awesome. Stone criticizes my love of Tyra a lot, and makes fun of the fact that I watch ANTM. But Tyra is crazy and my favorite person in the world. And Super Smize may have been the funniest thing I ever experienced. I'm also going to have to vote on Valentine's Day. It makes me semi suicidal. Hallowe'en is bitchin.

Valentines Day is the most pointless holiday for sure
ReplyDeleteHalloween trumps Valentine's day every time, and as for pumpkin carving, one of my most beloved activities, it's hard to choose cute or scary...I think my vote is for cute, because; it won't scare off little children coming to get candy, and would maybe have the power to deter hoodlums from smashing it in the street once they take note of your fine craftmanship. Causing them to have a change in their heart and opt to not to smash your carved represntation of Whinnie the Pooh
