Finally she can rest in peace: Schiavo dies at 41
It's a terrible story, something that makes your stomach hurt with the thought of being starved to death. Whatever you think about the case, she's in a much better place now.

Tangent Alert...
Not only is NBC doing a rip off of THE OFFICE - well I wasn't very impressed with it to begin with but still. But now they're ripping off Fever Pitch, a movie that came out in 1997 (thank you Scene It champion me)! It's a movie from the book by Nick Hornby. Well now the US version is coming out on April 8th: Fever Pitch rip off. Sorry its just lame...we're INDEPENDENT apparently but can America come up with its own ideas for TV and movies? Nope.

I'm just posting so that my blog will republish...does anyone have this problem with publishing your blog after you edit the template or something...the little wheel goes around but it doesn't publish or publishes REALLY slow???!! Has happened more on the PC's than on Macs but on both for me. Bah.
Debating whether or not to order Bridget Jones Edge of Reason on Amazon (it comes out here in the US on Tues)- if I do pre-order it the dvd might get here by Weds, but since I'm off school on Thurs and Friday it might get here when I'm at home...so I might just wait and pick it up at Walmart or something on Tuesday. Usually they have sales on new releases if they're really popular...hmph.

U2 Inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
*** Edited ***
I found the lyrics to my favorite song on the latest U2 album "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" the song is entitled Fast Cars:
My cell is ringing
No ID
I need to know who's calling
My garden's overgrown
I go out on my belly crawling
I got CCTV, pornography, CNBC
I got the nightly news
To get to know the enemy
All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to get right next to you
All I want is your face in a locket
Picture in my pocket
I take a pill to stop it
I know these fast cars
Will do me no good
I'm going nowhere
Where I am it is a lot of fun
There in the desert to dismantle an atomic bomb
I watch you shadow box
Check the stocks
I'm in detox
I want the lot of what you've got
What you've got can make this stop
All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to be right next to you
All I want is your picture in a locket
Your face in my pocket
Take a pill to stop it
I know these fast cars
Will do me no good
Child inside
Don't you worry 'bout your mind
Don't you worry 'bout your mind
Don't you worry 'bout your mind
Don't you worry 'bout your mind
You should worry 'bout the day
That the pain it goes away
You know I miss mine sometimes
The size is much too big
There is no fiction
That will truly fit the situation
I'm documenting every detail
Every conversation
Not used to talkin' to somebody in the body
Somebody in a body,
Somebody in a body
The lyrics don't sound like much the the music to it is just great!

New template - its from a song on the most recent U2 album ;)
City of Blinding Lights
The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now
Neon heart dayglo eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They’re advertising in the skies
For people like us
And I miss you when you’re not around
I’m getting ready to leave the ground….
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Don’t look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can’t see
I’ve seen you walk unafraid
I’ve seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
And I miss you when you’re not around
I’m getting ready to leave the ground
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Time… time
Won’t leave me as I am
But time won’t take the boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel… luckily

Seems I only update here on Tuesdays....
Well I'm sick again/still. This thing has been coming back ever since I got back from England in August!! On antiobiotics again, they seem to be working on and off, with the help of asprin or Nyquil. Last night I was feeling horrible and finally decided to go to sleep at 8:45 pm and woke up 12 hours later at 8:45 am. Think I helped but I'm not cured. I won't even go into a particularly disgusting incident this morning regarding mucus....
On a positive note...I went to Target on Sunday and got a box of Guylian seashells for $6 (which, with the exchange rate is about the same as in England - 3 quid.) But they only have them during Christmas and Easter :( I also go real cadbury caramel eggs (a pack of 4 for $1.89) mmmmm. So while I'm not really hungry for normal food with my illness, I'm putting away some great chocolate!
I also got 2 boxes of 50 Save the Date cards on clearance for $5 each, including a printer test sheet and envelopes. They're 5 1/2 by 8 1/2 card with a silver border around them and "Save the Date" at the top in silver. I'm going to start printing them when we have a wedding date confirmed - hopefully in May! I also started the guest list on theknot.com and did a wedding webpage for us on there too.
