So the other day I went into the fridge to get something to drink... unfortunately, I didn't know that a finger and a piece of metal are magnetically attractive. 
My finger got stuck Just like the tongue in Christmas story, so I told michelle get some warm water. She looked at me confusedly and a little upsettedly, but didn't move. so I said again, get me some warm water fast. she came into the room, got water and poured it... but the first one didn't work, and instead of freeing my one stuck finger, she pushed a second one against the metal.
Luckily the second pour worked. She was my heroine! And my second finger though smarting didn't hurt all that much... but the first one did/does. I've even woken up in the middle of the night from random pains in it.
Goes to show everything you see in movies really does happen!
here's the google app website:
It's called google latitude:

My first picture:
Her first picture:
oh and apparently google has a mobile phone application that will show you the location of your friends! (You have to permit others to see your cell phone location first, and they have to do the same.)
Sorta cool.
really creepy.
Possibly useful, esp. in NYC!
So graduating this past spring from Iowa State has turned out to be the worst decision I've made this year.
This is because I knew I wanted to take art classes this and next semester to develop my work... so now I'm out $12,000 in GRANT money.
Why did I do that? why? $12,000!
So we've arrived in San Antonio for our second reception.
This morning they asked for volunteers to get bumped and we immediately said yes!
In return, we major banked... $1200 in flight money, and $60 in Food vouchers... that's the best bump I've ever done! and only for a 3 hour delay. Michelle and I figured that that equalled about $210/hr. Which is a great pay rate... and we only had to "consult" for 3 hours.
Ah if only that was my consultation fee... that would be amazin'!
Texas Wedding reception, SAN ANTONIO, AUG 22nd if you want to come, msg me. More info as it comes.
Finally the orthodox Catholics out there point out the the conservative Catholics that there is such a thing as stupid fun,

My final for advanced painting was a painting installation. It was highly successful and received rave reviews from my class and professor. I just wish it had been up for much longer than 8 hours after the 12 hours I worked on installation.
In a first, I've uploaded a video of the installation to youtube. But since I can't figure out how to link it easily, I've also uploaded it here on blogger...
After a long and interesting residency process, I have finally been awarded Instate in Vermont! YAY!
Now I can start paying off my debt that I've accrued this semester.
Representative Robert South, a freshman Democrat from a conservative district, said he reversed his position after 228 of his constituents reached out and urged him to support the override, compared with 198 who urged him to oppose it.
(NYTIMES)
"Obama's support among Catholics has eroded.
According to the Pew Research Center, the percentage of Americans who disapprove of Obama's job performance increased by nine points from February to March.
Among Catholics as a whole, his disapproval rating jumped 14 points. And among white, non-Hispanic Catholics, the figure doubled -- from 20 percent to 41 percent. "
I've got one thing to say. Why were you guys fooled by his rhetoric?
I just found out that my petition for changing the transfer level of two of my classes back to ISU was approved.
So as long as I pass my classes, I am qualified for graduation this semester!
The were transferring back as sophomore level, but now they've been approved as Junior level which means I'm golden!
