can i say just one thing, or is this russia? (dog show, from snl)

okay, so i promised to talk about my astronomy club membership a few days ago!! so funny!! i think this story is best told in person, but whatever. my freshman year at davis, i hung out with my r.a. a lot. we one friday night decided to go to an astronomy club meeting because we had nothing else to do. we went with a few others; one friend nate who giggles like a girl. we think that it's funny because we're obviously dorks because we have nothing to do this friday night. as we walk in, though, we can tell right away that we're the coolest people there. there were about 10 other there, in your stereotypical nerd clothes. we had decided to go because we could look at stars and planets with the telescopes on the top of the physics/geology building. (well, i think it's pretty cool.) but anyways, this girl starts talking and we figure out that we have to sit through this lecture before we get to look at the stars. she starts talking about jupiter. but first, let me mention her clothes. not that i'm super fashionable or anything, but it just gives you a good visual on why it's so funny. she's got this long hair that hasn't been brushed in a week, super thick glasses, a t-shirt with planets on it, faded black jeans that are ready for flood season, and old converse. she then starts talking about her favorite moon of jupiter. she tells us that it used to be io, but now, it's europa...and proceeds to give us a list as to why it's changed. i was trying so hard to hold my laugh in, and my friend nate, is letting out these very quiet giggles. we were dying because first, she had a favorite moon of jupiter, and second, it had actually changed from one moon to the other, and she explained why. so after that, we looked at the stars, and signed our emails on a list so we could know when future meetings would be held. i guess i didn't know that by signing up on the list, you're actually a member of the club. so, i technically was a member of the uc davis astronomy club for 4 years. how's that for funny? yeah, i told you, it's better in person. :)

as i mentioned yesterday, sutter was fired from the sharks. he explains a few things, and seems to be pretty cool with it. i wish they would have given him a little more time, though. it wasn't his fault that nabby and stuart weren't signed right away and he had to make other changes. arg.

and, billy koch is no longer on the a's. what the hell??

speaking of the a's, i hope you all have read about my hottie mark mulder and his living situation. this was in the paper a while back, but i thought it was a cool article to read. my friend who lives near lafayette says he knows the place that they ate breakfast at...by looking at one of the pictures. hello, i will be dining there soon. :) but not too soon, i think he's in arizona now.

speaking of love...ahahahahaha, only kidding you crazy fools, here's a cool story about the town i love, davis. it's a cool article, and wanted to share it with y'all. :)

and, because i'm a nerd and love geology, i can't resist adding this. i was ALMOST a geology minor at davis. i had 1 more class to take after this stupid one that i was having trouble with. you see, if i wanted to major in geology, i would have had to taken physics and math. but not for the minor. since 99% of people taking geology classes are majoring in it, they understand it all very well. and the dumb teacher i had didn't think i should be having any problems (assuming everyone was taking math and physics) with his retarded math homework assignments. i talked to him about it twice, but he thought that it was "basic algebra." uh huh. so i ended up not taking the final because it was all based on the homework, not passing the class, and not being able to do a damn thing about it since he was the head of the department. i couldn't retake the class till next year (after i graduated...and i wasn't sticking around just for that.) so i was mad, because i would have majored in it if i had the smarts. i took a ton of extra classes, but none really relevant for the minor. geology is by far my first love...i love earthquakes so much. so i didn't get to minor in it since i didn't pass that class, and it annoys the hell out of me. okay, that's enough of me for now.

i think i'll do some more scrapbooking...see you all later. sleep well!!
