False Alarm!

Hi Everyone again!
Wow two posts in one day. So anyway, my computer is back to normal. It was very strange because I just took out the battery, then put it back and magically it worked! I'm so happy. Although as soon as I checked my email my professor sent a mass email saying we could use our notes for the final this morning. Which is a relief because I thought everyone was cheating. I should get an A for effort.
Well I must go now again! I hope everyone is doing swell and have a great day!

Some sad news or good news depending on how you look at it

Hello everyone!
I just wanted to let everyone know that I will probably be very very late in getting back to emails because my computer has decided to completely crash. I mean it will not even turn on. I thought-fiddlesticks. So now I will simply be checking emails at Brooks which might explain the tardiness.
I think it was a curse the cat put on the place.
Other than this, I suddenly felt an explosion of creativity and have decided to use Juicebox as a minor character in a book. Don't worry I had a long talk with him about it when he returned from the Channel Islands and he said it was okay. I wanted written documentation but he can't write. He's doing well. He came back early from his vacation because of the rain and the fact that he really didn't get along with the seals. Snowball is doing somewhat well. She keeps running out in the rain. She started dancing the other day and I pretended I didn't know her. A cat doing the macarena? Not a pretty picture. In any case, she kinda smells now. Well-I must go-homework calls just until the end of the week.

Hi everyone!

I hope everyone is have a decadent December. Yes, Christmas is in the air-the lights are streamed on the trees lining State Street. Carolers are around every nook and cranny. Tourists are doing Christmas shopping with Santa Barbara t-shirts and depression has finally set in. It seems that every person I've talked to (and these are real people) has been depressed. Which begs the question, what is it about the holiday season that makes people sad? Should we blame it on Hallmark? Or the fact that people have a certain annoyance of the color green? Maybe people just hate giving gifts and getting them. Or maybe it's that we don't look forward to yet another reason to see our family-who knows.
I have some good and bad news though. Juicebox is going away for a week with Trip to the Channel Islands. Trip is very outdoorsy so he is looking forward to some hiking. I will make sure Juicebox packs an inhaler! He asked me if there were any peach smoothies on the islands, I told him I don't think so. He's determined to find one. He said lemurs can make a pretty mean smoothie.
Let's see, what else? Does anybody have any good new years resolutions? I came up with two, let's see if they'll last longer than a week. One is to email people as soon as I get their emails instead of a month later. The second one is to be more organized with my photography. I've got tripods coming out of my eyeballs! (Not really, that would be odd) Well I should go now and work on homework, in other words more procrastination!
Hope everyone is having a great day! Have fun!

New Additions

Hello Everyone!
I have some big news! It's so big my heart's rolling in my chest. There are two new additions to my family. I know what you are thinking-no I did not get pregnant that one drunken night in Antarctica nine months ago. Instead I have adopted again. This time it is a Jade plant named Jade (I know very creative) and a cat named Snowball (bet you can't guess what color she is). I'm sure many of you are wondering how Juicebox is handling this. He's been an only child for....5 years now.
I would love to tell you he hugged Snowball and smiled at Jade but that would be a lie. I thought he was hugging Snowball but it was actually Juicebox strangling her. As for Jade, I asked him to water Jade yesterday and he added a liquid alright-urine. It was not his finest hour. So today I had to go to UCSB yet again (I feel like I should enroll there) and I only took Juicebox because I thought we needed to talk. And you'll never guess what we saw-two women going at it by the arts building. Juicebox jumped up for joy while I walked in the other direction.
I set up my camera and saw Juicebox was over with the lesbians talking. He told them about how he was a homosexual too and then he talked about Trip. Then the lesbians invited him on a double date. I never did have the talk with Juicebox though because he kept talking about what he was going to wear on his date (then I informed him that he is always naked). As for now, I'm trying to keep them as far away from eachother as possible.
Hope everyone is having a swell day!

Break from Homework

Hello Everyone,
I'd planned on typing a blog yesterday but unfortunately homework called and I had to answer. And unfortunately I showed my professor my pictures and unfortunately more reshoots! But hey practice makes perfect!
So due to alot of pent-up anger and the fact that it was cloudy so I could not work on more reshoots, I decided to see a movie. So I saw "Quantum of Solace" finally! I give it two thumbs up. I'm so glad they kept Vesper in the storyline! This one though was much more Bondy (is that a word) than "Casino Royale." I wondered though if that necklace is still in Russia? Wouldn't that be nifty? I was going to bring Juicebox but he doesn't like movies with heterosexual couples. It makes him very uncomfortable as many of you know. Too bad because he would've loved the chases!
Don't worry he still had a fun day! Luckily he was able to check out the new club in town specifically for single Koalas. He's been bouncing off the walls ever since and he can't stop talking about this koala named Trip. I haven't met him yet though. Juicebox wants to take the relationship slow, unlike all his other ones. Well I have to go-he has scissors in his paw and the blades are getting close to his head! AAAAHHH!
