Conception Day Party

I didn’t tell anyone, but yesterday was a very big day. Perhaps the most important day of my life…

You see, my birthday is September 10th, yesterday was January 10th – that’s right all you math whizzes, January 10th is my Conception Day! (shh…science whizzes, I don’t want to hear you talking about how most women aren’t pregnant exactly 9 months…let me have my day!)

I want a party celebrating the zygot I was! So, let’s party womb style!

So where’s my fetus cake? My pin the sperm on the egg? My mom regaling the day when she and my dad….eww! Gross…yuck! (recoiling in horror and trying not to barf)

Ah...okay, now I know why we don’t have Conception Day Parties, because that would be admitting our parents had sex (so maybe I’ll plan a Stork Day party because my parents never did it.)

…but playing pin the sperm on the egg would still be pretty fun….

Temping is a lot like dating...

Temping is a lot like dating…

• It’s a lot of sitting by the phone,hoping and wishing it would ring.

• You always go in with high hopes thinking this could be something good, something lasting, something fulfilling…It’s not .

• It sucks! At least today…but tomorrow could be stellar, and I could find my one true job! One true job? Wait…uh...hmm, I guess I’m not ready to commit. :)

At least dating has some potential benefits... ;)

Double Feature

After class yesterday, a couple of the guys and I went to the movies. The movie we were planning on seeing was sold out for the showtime we wanted, so we decided to do a Double Feature. I consider it training for Sundance. Here's the movies and my thoughts (not a review, just my silly ponderings)

DREAMGIRLS - Thank you for making Detroit look good! (Okay, so there were the riots and the ghost town-ness of it today, but it still brought to surface all my love for that city.) The beautiful architecture, the characters, the passion for the arts, this is the Detroit I love! (Of course there's also the swindlers, the sellouts...hell, today I love them too...but don't ask me tomorrow)

CHILDREN OF MEN - Like 28 Days Later, without the zombies. Of course I also went to the whole spiritual/philosophical meaning of everything...like baby Jesus...I mean Dylan...To me, it showed how it's human nature to turn a non-political figure (uh...a non-partisian BABY) into a political hero/enemy/commidity, but just 'cause it's nature doesn't make it right... the world needs hope not a political agenda.
