Books I'm gonna buy from Dover Publications:
Young Goodman Brown and Other Short Stories- Nathaniel Hawthorne
The War of the Worlds- H.G. Wells
Dubliners- James Joyce
Beowulf
Poems and Songs- Robert Burns
That's all I have to say for now.
That and I've posted this weeks Friday Five answers. I think the Friday Five is stupid, but it gives me something to do, right?

Move In Day
To many, these three words are to be dreaded. They are often accompanied by groans, sighs, mumbles, curse words... But not for me. To me, Move In Day is one of the most exciting three word phrases in the English language, along with Ice Cream Cone, I Love You, and Felicity Is On.
I get to move in today. I will finally have a house. Er, an apartment, but it's like a house. It has three bedrooms, three full baths, a walk-in closet in each room, a fireplace, washer and dryer, dish washer, and a porch. I am so excited, I don't know what to do with myself. Amanda and I are moving in today. Ingrid is moving in tomorrow. I can't wait to put each little thing in its proper place: dishes in the cabinets, toilet paper on the roll, furniture in the rooms, and art in the hallway. It's going to be a great, great day.
I leave work in one hour.
I've started back in on the Friday Five. It's not very interesting today. So you may not want to bother reading my answers. But if you feel like learning a little bit about me (and today, you're really not learning much) click here.
I shall blog again in due time.
Je suis enchante.

Welcome to My Online Grog
Will this ever-loving week ever end?? I'm seriously pooped. I don't know how I made it in this morning. What is it now, like Wednesday of next week? I can't believe how long this week has been. My brain is so fried. Scrambled brains, anyone? I shouldn't be allowed to work when I'm this fried. I'm going to wipe out the entire server or something. (Luckily I don't have access to that type of destruction.) I do however have access to other weapons of mass destruction- the enter key. All it takes is a slip of my fingers to accidentally "replace" instead of "copy" and hit enter and I could wipe out serious programs in Ascend. SOMEONE READING THIS TELL ON ME! TELL JAMIE I'M A HAZARD TODAY! I even went to bed early last night. We have our Thursday night Bible studies on Thursdays (oh geez) but we cancelled last night. Krauss was the only one to show up so we decided he could go home and play his new video games, and I could go to bed. But I spent the whole night chasing after my turtle (I have that dream at least once a week) so I really didn't rest. However, last night I made a break through with Speedy. Last night, he could talk so I explained to him the danger of him always trying to get out of his tank. I carried him through the house saying "See, there's no water anywhere. You'd dry up. Then you wouldn't be able to get back in your tank and you'd die. Do you see why I keep you in that tank now? Its for your own safety." Speedy understood and rested in my arms like a kitty and fell asleep. He explained to me the reason he always tried to get out of the tank was because a turtle in a tank nearby told him his tank was the Nile and that always scared him. "There's nothing deeper than the Nile," Speedy told me. I assured him that that turtle was just a bully and Speedy's tank wasn't the Nile at all and Speedy felt much better. Poor thing. No wonder he hated that tank so bad. I think now he'll be ok. (And maybe I can stop having that dream.)
Go here for my Friday Five answers. Go to 814 Storer tonight for the Sharkie show (bring a donation for buck.buck.) Go to JRs tomorrown night for the KXUA Summer Cook Out. I'll see you there. I'll be the one with scraggly hair and bags under my eyes.

Ok. Dork time! I've recognized that with my new computer job i've become EVEN dorkier than I used to be. I mean, i've started a freaking blog for crying out loud. and now, for the piece de resistance- i am about to achieve an even higher level of dorkiness: questionaire!! (I stole this off joker on the run's blog- but i narrowed it down to the top best questions so it wouldn't be too long and someone might actually read through it (there were like a trillion questions before.)
