Panini

Yes, this is an Italian word, but no, it doesn't mean "sandwich,' it means "sandwichES." This seems like a minor complaint, but why didn't they just call it a "panino." It would bother me less if people went around saying paninos (which in case you're a little slow, is not the correct way to say to "sandwiches"). Saying paninis is just redundant.

If you're interested, in Italian, you don't add an "s" to make a word plural; you add an "e" or "i" depending if it's masculine or feminine.
1 panino, 2 panini
1 cane, 2 cani (dog/s)
1 nonna, 2 nonne (grandmother/s)
1 nonno, 2 nonni (grandfather/s)

So Easy a Caveman Could Do It

At first I found these commercials amusing, but the more i saw, the more i realized how stupid they are. CAVEmen, as the name implies, live(d) in CAVES, not fancy apartments, they didn't go out to nice restaurants or take airplanes, and they certainly didn't go to shrinks. Is it still ok to use word "shrink," or should I be more P.C. and say "therapist?"

Cavemen (especially in the sense Geico is referring to them) no longer exist--they are earlier forms of people who have evolved into the homo sapiens we are today.

Delayed Posts

I know it's been almost a month since I've posted an entry, but that doesn't mean I haven't been thinking of things, or even writing entries.

At work, either at lunch, or when I have nothing better to do, I type up entries in Word. Generally, I'm just too lazy to put them on the blog.

The following two entries were written on February 9. Enjoy :)

My Life

Has TV really become so good, or has my life just become that boring? (Seriously, I'd like to know other's thoughts). Years ago, I had so many fun stories to tell and so much drama.

Preston and Steve were talking about hitting on, flirting with, and exchanging numbers with other drivers on the road. The more I thought about, the more incidents of this I remember. In fact, in high school, my friends and I would go out cruising looking for guys. Most of the time, it would just be flirting and staying the same speed as a guy. However, there are some interesting stories.

This one time, friends and I were driving home from visiting a college, when he saw a bus load of guys. We happened to have a notebook in the car, so we spent about an hour writing notes back and forth. At some point in there, we gave them my cell number. I actually ended up talking to one for a few months.

Another time, when we weren't even looking, we saw this kid take some pictures of us, so we followed them for a little bit. Eventually we got bored, and headed back to the main road. A little later, we saw the same car. We decided to pull over and talk to them.

Then there was this other time that we...nevermind. It's not something I'm willing to share.

There was only person that was with me for all of these events. Did these things happen because of her, or me, or the combination of the two of us. My theory is that is the combo of us.

I also used to have all kinds of drama (with guys, girls, parents). Not that I particularly liked the drama, but at least I didn't sit around at home doing nothing...Well, at least I still have friends in college...Partying at E-Town tomorrow, then with Drexel Bros on Sat (assuming mother nature isn't a complete bitch).

TV

TV has become really good lately. If you're a fan of any of the shows I mention and haven't seen the latest episode, don't read that paragraph because I talk about all the gory details. Of course if you've never seen them, you might what to skip it too.

On Tuesday, Gilmore Girls was awesome. Lorilei's letter was poinent and compelling without going over the top. It had the best effect too: Luke got shared custody and it pissed off Chris to the point of leaving. Of course this is a total dick move on his part--walking away from her when there's the slightest difficulty for the second time in 22 years. It would be great if he dropped off the face of the earth, except for one thing--Rory. I can't believe he'd leave her again. Speaking of Rory, I think that's the reason he got so upset by the letter. Luke was there for his daughter for 10 years and he wasn't.

A piece of advice to men: If your wife asks to get a vasectomy, don't tell her you got one if you didn't. Even if she tells you she's on the pill.

Ok, on to Grey's Anatomy, which could be the the best show on at the moment. The ads for last week's episodes said, "don't miss the last five minutes." What they didn't say was that the first of the five minutes would be awesome, but the last four would end in a cliff-hanger. Derek told Meredith that he would always show up, Burke proposed to Christina, then George proposed to Callie. The guys asked multiple times, but there was no answer. 7 days of suspense (ok, less because I watched it online Saturday). I figured if one of the girls said yes it would be Callie, but to go to Vegas and get married?! They also didn't mention the damn outbreak. That show is amazing, really.

Final show I'm gonna go on about is The O.C. which ironically airs at the same time as Grey's (good think somebody invented the VCR), which is why I just finished watching it. First there was the pregnancy scare and slutty aliens, almost-marriage, ex-husbands, fathers coming out of woodwork, high class prostitution...and that brings us to the past two episodes...Kirsten turns 40 and finds out she's pregnant, Julie Cooper is in love with Frank Atwood, Chet is in love with Seth, and the biggest new of the series: the reason Jimmy Cooper and Kirsten broke up--He knocked her up and she had an abortion and didn't tell him(apparently this guy has some fertile sperm and/or he really needed to learn about birth control).

So, TV is good.
