http://empressreborn.today.com Just another Today.com weblog Wed, 31 Jan 2007 01:42:59 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en One of my classes this semester, which is entitled Layout and Design II, is a "paper engineering"class. (In other words, we make pop-up cards.) It's only been two weeks, and I'm already tired of it. I can't imagine doing an entire semester of this. In any event, the book the professor ... http://empressreborn.today.com/2007/01/30/pop-up/ The hubby left for a 9-day trip to FL yesterday. He has a week of training, and then is attending an aikido seminar. Which means I have over a week by myself (well, and with the dog). Last night I watched "My Fair Lady." I wasn't aware that it's about 3 ... http://empressreborn.today.com/2007/01/28/my-fair-lady/ It's only one week into the semester, and I'm tired. Up until now, I've only gone to campus two days a week. But since I'm getting down to the nitty-gritty, I had no choice this time 'round to spend Monday-Thursday on campus. Thus, my body is like, "What's this about?" ... http://empressreborn.today.com/2007/01/24/enduring-the-new-pace/ I've been an avid Apprentice watcher since the first season, but after watching only two episodes of the current season, I've found my desire to watch lacking. Last season was 'blah' and uninteresting, mostly because all the rewards and assignments had been done before. So it was like watching the ... http://empressreborn.today.com/2007/01/22/trump-youre-fired/ It's only the second week of classes, and I am already skipping. I didn't go to my 9am class. I couldn't sleep last night, so between that and the weather, I decided not to go. I have another class at 1pm that I will attend. But the 2.5 hour lull ... http://empressreborn.today.com/2007/01/22/already-skipping/ Well, today it finally arrived! And boy, did it arrive without much warning. Yes, the snow is finally here. Within an hour, the area was turned into a winter wonderland. So now it feels like the holidays...except the holidays are gone! http://empressreborn.today.com/2007/01/21/winter-wonderland/ The other day I had two different topics that I wanted to blog about...but I didn't get a chance to do so at the time, and now I cannot for the life of me recall what the topics were.... http://empressreborn.today.com/2007/01/19/lost-in-the-dark-zone/ I think I'm done watching the TV show Las Vegas. Because of the city where the show is based, of course they are going to include a lot of, eh, unsavory topics. But last night, at the end of the show, they had two female characters kiss--for no reason. Not ... http://empressreborn.today.com/2007/01/14/yuck-3/ Yesterday the hubby and I watched Crank, a new action flick with the guy from Transporter whose name I can never recall. I should've stopped watching it within the first 10 minutes. It was *horrible.* Just basically a chance to show violence, swearing, nudity, public sex, and all kinds of ... http://empressreborn.today.com/2007/01/13/crankin-out-garbage/ The hubby and I rented The World Trade Center last night. I thought it was done really well. It was touching, dramatic, and didn't go into any of the political stuff. What I thought was really cool was the marine who was on a mission from God. He and another marine ... http://empressreborn.today.com/2007/01/12/world-trade-center-review/
