QotD: One Small Act

nobody@vox.com(Winnower) — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 05:26:45 -0700

Submitted by One Kind Act.

Earlier this morning a man came into the ER bringing his mother in and needed help getting her out of the car. He was a little rude and snippity to me but I didn't think anything of it; obviously he was upset. After his mother had been taken care of he apologized to me for the way he had acted earlier. I did not expect this and it touched my heart.

QotD: Senseless Saying

nobody@vox.com(Winnower) — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 13:32:35 -0700

What's a saying or phrase that's never made sense to you?

Oh my gosh, i was just thinking of this today! "The best offense is a good defence." ?? I used to think i knew what this meant, but then i was rethinking it today and realized i think i was wrong. And if i was right, i don't remember what i even thought it was.

QotD: Pet Person

nobody@vox.com(Winnower) — Sun, 27 May 2007 21:52:43 -0700

What do you think your pets would act like if they were people? Do you think you'd get along with them?
I'm not a good pet person. I don't know why I'm answering this. I think my cat would be like Steve Urkle or something. really annoying and clingy. except he'd be better looking. actually now that i think of it, it's probably the way Lois Lane would think of Clark Kent. kind of strange and always underfoot, due to his undying affection.
so actually my cat is probably more like Superman, only i don't know it. but now i do know it ... so i'll be keeping my eyes peeled for his bullet proof spandex.

Grand~

We watched our fathers die.

We watched them live out and stretch out and die.

We watched them enter and dance and fold and fetch, They were like puppies on strings. We could control them with laughter. And meat. When they were full they could rest. But until then, they worked. They worked in the sun. They worked in the fields, on the roads, and in the rain. They worked indoors and with trinkets and toys.

By the time we were men, they were gone. But they had made us that way, so they live on.

-anon·y·mous

okay, it was me.

MOVIES

nobody@vox.com(Winnower) — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 03:30:38 -0700

I'm looking for two movies to borrow if anyone has them: Weird Science, and Spies Like Us.

Now, here's my movie review:

I watched the greatly heralded "Orange County". Well, (maybe I need to watch it again, but...) I thought it was really boring. I didn't even watch the end because I fell asleep. on purpose.

Second, Lady in the Water. (I think that's what it's called, may be of the water.?) I actually liked this movie a lot. 1) great cast 2) it was very colorful in a strange way that i liked. I liked how the apartments were decorated, especially that old asian womans. 3) Mr. Heap was awesome.

It was cool how everyone came together to help the maiden narf. To find out what their role in the story was adventurous and of great consequence.

Stay tuned, there is more to come. I will be reviewing two more movies this week.

QotD: Ms. President

nobody@vox.com(Winnower) — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 05:27:53 -0700

Is it likely that the U.S. will have a female president in the near future? In your lifetime? Why?

I think it is very likely that we will see a female U.S. president in my lifetime. I think it's inevitable. It's "progressive". It's what we do.
