Dress Up Time

Hello people of the world! Today was just an okay day, not great, but not too bad either. I'm going to UMass Lowell tonight and dressing up for promotion pictures for the UMLJWE (University of Massachusetts Lowell Jounior Wind Ensemble). Whew...that's a long name. Seeing as I hate pictures, it is not going to be all that fun.

Tomorrow, I am looking forward to helping my aunt in her classroom for my community service. It is going to be a little challenging, but worth while.

Don't you just LOVE long weekends? I do too, except for the fact that we didn't have power. I still got up at 5:00 to get ready, and upon discovering the lack of power, we went out to DD's to get some breakfast. Around 6:15, my aunt, who is also a teacher, called to tell us that school had been cancelled. Great...

Question of the Day: Is there a way to sleep less?
Yes, if you excerise and live a healthy life, you can cut it down to about 6 hours. You sleep your best the first four hours, and the rest is usually unessential dreaming. Give that a thought all you sleepy teenagers!

Story of the Day: This is so hilarious I just need to paste the entire thing in here.
"Located in Suweon, south of Seoul, the strange home towers over everything else at 4,508-sq-foot and cost him 1.6 million dollars.
Sim, who is also the former Mayor of Suweon and current member of the parliament, hoped that this home would emphasize the importance of better sanitation in all countries.
'Toliets were once regarded as stinking and dirty places. Not any more. They must be treated as teh sanctuary that protects human health,' was his take on the matter.
In fact, Sim has been so vocal on the clean toilet issus that during his term in office, folks had started calling him Mayor Toilet.
As it is, given that his mother gave birth to him in a toilet, the loo theme has been a major part of the eccentric man's life.
Where the unusual home is concerned, Sim has devised a plan where he can reel in funds for countries with backward toilets.
He encourages wealthy folks to rent out the house at an impressive rate of 50,000 dollars per day.
He assures that all profits from this rental venture will for needy countries who lack decent sanitation."

MLIA of the Day: "At my favorite coffee shop, there are two cash registers, each with their own tip jar. Today, the first tip jar said, 'Tip me or I'll kill you.' The second tip jar said, 'Tip me so I can make enough money to get the homicidal maniac over there axed by the Mob.' Guess who got their tip?"
