It was of "The Last Lecture": Randy's inspirational speech. He was a man, despite suffering from incurable pancreatic cancer, lived life to the fullest.

For me, hype or no hype, I find it ridiculous to stand in line for who-knows-how-long, for any movie, concert, etc. In the end, when you see the movie, the concert or whatever at a later date, it will STILL be the same movie, concert, and so on.

It was nice talking and getting to know you more then. Remember how I baked you those brownies even though I said they were for everyone in your department?

Not sure if it's native to Hawaii or if it http://ciarasramblingsandwhatnot.blogspot.com/2008/07/thematic-photographic-3-animals.htmlciara13b@aim.com (ciara)<p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=TTLi0T"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=TTLi0T" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=yQ6VjJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=yQ6VjJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=lkPM9J"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=lkPM9J" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=2aDe6j"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=2aDe6j" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=9DcN1J"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=9DcN1J" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=XYKejj"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=XYKejj" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=IGUm1J"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=IGUm1J" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=pZEK0j"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=pZEK0j" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=Xh6EYJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=Xh6EYJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=JUXrQj"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=JUXrQj" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=wylYrJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=wylYrJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=ccnliJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=ccnliJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=qUK2FJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=qUK2FJ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RamblingsAndWhatnot/~4/338423713" height="1" width="1"/>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290982922070896189.post-6944028712796037869Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:56:00 +00002008-07-17T01:30:50.651-07:00photograpysunsetI don't know if you all have heard about the Northern California fires or not, but it has been going on for awhile now. They have some of it contained, but not fully. It is not near to where I live, but we have been seeing the affects of it here. Some days you can see the hazy sky, and it feels unbelievably muggy. We have had warnings to not be out in this air at times.

I'm finally 'somewhat' caught up on my rest. I haven't been feeling the greatest this week either. I think it's a combination of not being able to pick up my other medication until I got back, so I went a few days without it, and the heat. While I was in Vegas, the temps were in the 110's. When I'm in the heat my body tends to swell up.

This week's theme is "Light". I really didn't take any pictures while in Vegas which might have been good for this one. I guess I was just too stressed to think about snapping a photo of a chandelier that was made too look like floating bubbles. I'm sure I could find the photo on the internet, but that wouldn't be any fun.http://ciarasramblingsandwhatnot.blogspot.com/2008/07/lights-camera-action-thematic.htmlciara13b@aim.com (ciara)<p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=Z2x5I7"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=Z2x5I7" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=iPzwSJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=iPzwSJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=7lJonJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=7lJonJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=bdKBej"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=bdKBej" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=FNliWJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=FNliWJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=meg9kj"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=meg9kj" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=2RxSpJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=2RxSpJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=lzXo5j"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=lzXo5j" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=6ZKDxJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=6ZKDxJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=8MkYqj"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=8MkYqj" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=mJZx6J"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=mJZx6J" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=QzbfEJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=QzbfEJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=XvHGbJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=XvHGbJ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RamblingsAndWhatnot/~4/333386879" height="1" width="1"/>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290982922070896189.post-5737034044048573613Fri, 11 Jul 2008 04:49:00 +00002008-07-10T22:01:38.548-07:0055 Flash FictionI enter the City of Sin in the late evening.

One thing that I have to do before I leave is clean up a bit. http://ciarasramblingsandwhatnot.blogspot.com/2008/07/vegas-baby.htmlciara13b@aim.com (ciara)<p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=EGvjG5"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=EGvjG5" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=KDohCJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=KDohCJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=utKy4J"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=utKy4J" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=jGGO9j"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=jGGO9j" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=ZOjpdJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=ZOjpdJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=1uZtij"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=1uZtij" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=EPCpEJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=EPCpEJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=BHABpj"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=BHABpj" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=bkI6cJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=bkI6cJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=xNKZ3j"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=xNKZ3j" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=wFyAZJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=wFyAZJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=ny10LJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=ny10LJ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?a=rBuJtJ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/RamblingsAndWhatnot?i=rBuJtJ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RamblingsAndWhatnot/~4/327902018" height="1" width="1"/>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290982922070896189.post-1596773778262765564Sun, 06 Jul 2008 04:18:00 +00002008-07-05T21:49:26.906-07:00moviesentertainmentMy 4th of July was pretty uneventful. Stinky had planned to take Showboat to the city we lived in, before moving here, for their annual fireworks bash at the local park. There was a Led Zeppelin tribute band that he would have watched while Showboat and a friend (whoever he wanted to take) went off doing their own thing.

While everyone has great content, I write 'fluff'. I don't write about anything important, exciting, or funny. I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm just not a 'writer'. Maybe it's just easier than being serious all the time. What I think the REAL reason is is that I just have lead a boring life.

Christmas 1994. I had just lost about 50 pounds that I had gained over seven years' time. This was when I could STILL lose weight simply by watching what I ate. Boy, I probably thought I was cute here. No...those aren't caterpillars on my forehead above my eyes.

I told my attorney to present my ex's attorney with 3 options. I knew, with utmost certainty, that he would NOT choose option 3. That would entail some nasty bit of paperwork that needs to be filed with his job. The other two options were reasonable.

Mini-Me says she has been getting in trouble over her dad's house almost everyday. Miss La-Di-Da-Di says it's because she's not listening to my ex, but I often wonder if it's the fact that she IS my Mini-Me.
