"Happy Easter!!" - Love Bunny Jacob and Uncle Heeder

"Only good girls keep diaries. Bad girls don't have time" ~Tallulah Bankhead

While I was scrutineering for the exec elections one of the girls there made a comment on how "boys are much raunchier than girls" and I disagreed, actually I think I said, "You haven't met my friends..."

I laughed, nobody else did. Today in my Kiddy Litter (Children's Literature 389)class we are discussing the feminist perspective on fairy tales and we are currently reading Ella Enchanted (which is totally different from the movie). The Prof argues that Ella turns other fairly tales on their head and shows a more realistic version of women and their identity and I disagreed because in the end Ella marries the prince and gets all that happily ever after junk that comes with it. She refuses to be a princess but instead becomes a career woman with children and has it all. So I pointed out the unrealistic nature of that ridiculous notion. I think I should write a fairy tale from the Rotten Girl Perspective.
And then I realized that would be far too much for most kids to handle but might actually portray women in a realistic light, which would be ill-received because ladies are still supposed to fit into the innocent and naive paradigm society stills demands they fall into. Or how about a fairy tale that starts with marriage instead of ending with one as the pinnacle of success in a woman's life? Oh...right...it's called Othello...and we all know how that ends.

I am enjoying this Kiddy litter class more than last semester but I do miss the obnoxious prof. My current Professor, Dr. Jones, is rather animated and is a good prof but I miss the drunken debauchery stories of professor Pooh. The one big difference is that I am getting a B+ in this class whereas Professor Pooh decided to bitchslap me with a D+.

El Rotten are planning a trip to Jasper at the end of April. Sans babies. I am looking forward to it and the road trip. It certainly won't be like the last Jasper trip (During Jasper Sevens which should have been titled: Rugby Boys, Mushrooms, crotch shots, Oh My!) Now that we are "settled down" the weekend should just involve copious amounts of liquor and giggling. There was even talk of hiking which is rather tame for our lot. It is so nice to have something fun to look forward to and I am counting down the days.

Oh thank god the fucking Nose-Whistler just got up from the computer station beside me. She was listening to her i-pod and nose-whistling super loud (you know like when you talk with headphones on and don't realize how loud you are?). She also thought it was a fine time to "secretly" get out some foil wrapped breakfast bar she brought (to the Library!) and although she thought she was covertly unwrapping it but she was making so much noise, and whistling so loud, everybody turned to look at her. She just turned bright red and left.

She has now been replaced with a hiccupping girl. You'll understand if I bid you farewell now, won't you? On my way out I feel it my duty to try to scare the shite out of her to stop the hiccups. This should be fun.

"I'll take one piece of paper, I'll take my pen, I will write zero helicopters, Chretien. That will be it, and I will not lose one minute of sleep"

So today I am doing research for a poli sci paper and to my shock and amazement one of the references is authored by the one and only Plummer! I laughed out loud in the Library much to the dismay of the librarian who shot me a dirty look.
Plummer, to those who know him, is a proud Delta Upsilon brother (C-span will get excited if he reads that) and he is infamous for his debauchery and crazy adventures. How hilarious is it that I might cite him in a paper I am writing? I wonder if he is a Doctor yet...
That picture of him also features another Doctor (a *real* meddler) in the background, Dr. Kenny Crammit, who is now in T.O. To think we used to refer to the doctor as "Scarf Bitch"...
Well at least I can say I knew them way back in the day....

This morning while I fought my way to school through the heavy drifts of snow I was wishing I had just stayed in bed. I was hating life and covered in snow, and just when I was cursing mother nature and wishing more people had come out to mow their snow "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" came on the radio. It instantly put me in a better mood and eased my nerves. Don't just love songs that can do that?

"I didn't try and shock you by allowing these women to walk around naked, the SU did. I merely reported it..." -Dale Miller, News Editor

So the SU in Calgary hired a stripper for their sexual awareness campaign and the newspaper is taking heat for covering the story. How bloody stupid is that?

The original story sans nudity.

Random Query Du Jour: If you try to take a baby into the peelers would they let you in the door?
Lina and I drove past Diamonds yesterday and we joked about the look on the bouncers face if two chicks came to door with a baby and tried to sit in perverts row. Like we would ever do it...can you imagine? I wonder if people have actually tried? The bouncer would have a great story for his friends...

I saw the movie The Graduate and have furthered my love for Mike Nichols movies. Did anybody else find it hilarious that "Mrs. 'I'm a cougar' Robinson" wears only animal prints? I have had 'Scarborough Fair' stuck in my head for four days now...

"Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. " - Benjamin Franklin

I need a beer. Yup, I do. I am tired of this day, this week, this month. Good thing it is St. Patrick's Day tomorrow. I feel a sense of duty to remind all of you to have a few beers, kick back, relax...oh and make sure to wear green. Even if it just green panties.
Cheers!

Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops, When the summer shower is through, So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you..." - Cole Porter

It is only Tuesday and I am exhausted already. whew!
I saw Venessa Thomas today in SUB and I told her that I was tired of studying, classes, and exams. I said that the Prof's don't really seem moved by my "But it is election time" excuse.
She suggested I was using the wrong terminology and amended it to (the much improved): "But it is election time, Motherfucker"

It smells outside. Spring reeks dude. Speaking of stench, what is that ever-present, sickly, sweet smell in Chem East? Christ on crutches...What is it?? Why does it always smell like that? How many times do students have to perform the experiment that creates such a strong lingering stench? Arts students want to know.

"Don't turn it down, turn it around" ~ The Duke

I little birdy told me that The Duke once *streaked* through quad wearing only a skin-coloured plum Smuggler, screaming "Show me the Money!", whilst the movie "Jerry McGuire" played at the sleeping bag drive-in. I would loved to have been there for that. Word has it his ID managed to work its way loose during his sprint and was left in quad, but campus 5-0 couldn't pin it on him.
And he blames *us* for all the fun tax he had to pay...
I miss funtimes with Willis....

"What specific strategies would you employ to bring to heel the writhing organism that is the Students' Union bureaucracy?" -S. Murray Smith

Half Pipe asked that pointed question and then had to repeat (read:yell) it from the balcony for the PoonStar. Too funny. Classic Smith. Poor Poonstar. The Dude made a joke about mumbly Dang ol' Boomhauer, man, and that led us to 'Poonhauer' and I could not stop laughing. All of a sudden everything Poon said was hilarious. "Advocacy yup dang ol' advocacy man...."

It is way better to go to Myer Ho when you are not the one on the stage. Seriously. And 'Hack Chanukah' never fails to excite.
I almost cried a nostaligic tear as *retired* hack C.D.Jones took the stage. almost.

I wish the whole election was based on meritocracy though, and not the ridiculous popularity contest it always seems to turns into. It's just soooo...grade eleven. I think we have some amazing individuals on that stage...some of the very best people I have ever met. I also liked when Lettner spoke about his philosophy of service. It made the idealist in me all warm and fuzzy.
I am really not sure what it is about election time...nor will I try to explain.
My favorite part: DaneBullerwell picking panites up off the stage...
The girl next to me commented on how sexy DaneBullerwell looked in that suit.

I get to be a scrutineer! woo hoo! Oh the sad, sad (not to mention nerdy) delight this gives me!

"Don't be discouraged. It's often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock" -Author Unknown

So I need a certain document from my personal file cabinet which has a bunch of papers just lying on the top because apparently my file clerk quit without telling me. So I start at the top of said pile of papers and of course the document I need is on the bottom of the pile. Don't you just hate it when that happens? Stupid Murphy's law...
