It's me again!

Hello Everyone,
It's been quite a long time since my last blog so I figured why not write another one. Juicebox's jumping around because it's Oscar night and I said he could invite some of his friends. My goodness, who knew Koalas loved disco music. Don't get me wrong I love koalas as much as the next gal but now there's peach iced tea everywhere-have you ever tried to get that off a carpet? It's more difficult than it sounds. They've also stuffed Snowball in the oven but I wouldn't let them turn it on so Snowball is just napping.
So all of Juicebox's jungle pals are rooting for "Milk" (although Trip really wants Brad Pitt to win for Best Actor but I think that's just because that's his favorite actor). I finally saw it yesterday with Juicebox. I stuffed him in my purse but I gave him a hole to breathe through (is that technically abuse?). Anyway, great movie. Way to go Sean Penn! Now I want to go to San Francisco and see his camera shop (not Sean Penn's but Harvey Milk's). I'd recommend the movie to people that really want to look at how screwed up America is.
As for me, I am rooting for "Slumdog Millionaire." I just can't get enough of that movie! So far I am winning, much to the animal's dismay. I love to watch the Indian acceptance speeches and Danny Boyle looks sooooo happy-it's so cute (Grandfather cute not hunk cute.) Every time they show him he's smiling, all the other director's look grumpy.
Other than the Oscars the big news is that it is my final week of classes and I pray I pass as I do with every class at this school, so please pray I pass. I'm so excited because it is also the last week with my apathetic group! Tomorrow is the last meeting then I don't have to work with them ever again!!!!!!
Oh gosh-I should go-one of the koalas just threw up peach iced tea in my camera bag-aaaahh!

Hi again!

Hello Everyone,
Am I the only one that has no clue how to title these blogs? Anyway, I don't really know the subject of today's blog other than my creativity is back and you'll never guess how. So, I've been reading all these supernatural books lately-and one very depressing one about Catholicism (don't ask, but it had nothing to do with the scandals), then I thought wait,this just isn't working for me. So I picked up a book I've always wanted to read "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" by Hunter S. Thompson. Incidentally it's a book about these two guys that are pretty much high (On drugs not life) in search of the American dream in Vegas. I don't know if it's because of his style or if I just have a desire to go to Vegas but I began to get ideas. Then another thing happened-so everyone that knows me knows that I am not an impulsive buyer (or maybe I am and I'm in denial)-well anyone last night I saw "Slumdog Millionaire" (My God what a great movie!) and I just loved the soundtrack so today I bought it. And I played it on my walk with my Nikon around my neck and all of a sudden my creativity came back in a whirlwind-phew. I'm so glad it's back! Next time, it should tell me where it goes so I can follow it.
Well, Juicebox just came back today from his trip to the Channel Islands. You should see his lovely tan. I asked him what is secret is-because now instead of white, he's tan, and he told me he put peach smoothie all over himself instead of lotion. That might explain why he stuck to me for a bit when he hugged hello. And of course now the whole apartment smells like peach iced tea. But it's better than the previous smell. In any case, he's zonked out now. I think he got a hangover on something-I keep asking him but he's so tired he hasn't woken up. Don't worry he's still breathing!
