Save me now, save me now!

The little green men are stealing my yawns. They're keeping me up at night so I'll yawn more during the day and they can use the yawns for their dastardly plots. Yawns are magical. you know how scientists "don't know what yawns are for exactly?" Well, they're lying to you. Yeah, I know, scientists lie? Ha, as if. Get over that. They are the biggest liars ever. I mean, they're the one's who said the world is round. Give me a break. Oh wait, that was the astronauts. Never mind, the world is round. I'm breathing through my nose so I don't yawn. Must not yawn. Last night I helped my aunt pack and stayed up til 5. That was not the work of the green men. (Breath in deeply as to not *yaaaaawn*) Drat. No, the green men woke me up every hour on the hour. At some point I fed the kitty. I was half asleep, but the evidence is in the bathroom. I left a towel on the sink rim from washing my hands.

Anyways, you're probably wondering what powers yawns have. Well, I'm not quite sure. All I know is those green men will stop at nothing to get them, and that means they are pretty powerful. Well, to distract them, I'll put up some pictures of my lovely new dress. I bet they'll be stooped in their tracks by the shininess of it! (It's not a great picture, but it's all i got right now)



Have a good day!

Leaving on a jet(blue) plane

I will be back again. You bet your bottom dollar (clean socks will do as well).

As it is, I am a glutton for punishment. Or at least I like pretending my stomach is cast iron. (I could be like Homer and take cannon balls to my stomach and survive-- sorry we've been having Simpson marathons here) I'm having cereal and milk for breakfast. yup, like I said, glutton...

Oh well. Goodness, I can't focus today. I've got like 3 things to do, but of course since I'm leaving it feels like a million. Let's see, shower, get dressed, throw odds and ends into suitcase. Voila! So instead I feel like I'm wasting time. Ok time to meditate and relax. "ooooum, oooooooooum, oooooooooooooum." just not feeling it. Could be cuz I didn't actually close my eyes and chant that last part...

Ooooh I got a dress for my brother's wedding. Finally! It's teal, not dark blue, but it's the closest I'm getting to clue. I have nothing against blue, I just couldn't find anything. Aaaaand I have shoes. The most important part. Of course I over packed. Even though I know I will probably wear almost everything in my suitcase (except maybe a shabbos dress), I still feel like it's too much. Alas, the woes of women packing all around the world. Or not, usually it's the opposite. "I didn't pack enough!"

I just gotta!

I want to make a movie, but I'm too lazy to get my camera. I have all this free time and I should be using it to develop a form of art I enjoy, but I'm not. I should be using it to read books I haven't been able to read all semester, but I'm not. No I'm surfing, and not even looking at interesting stuff. And yet, I'm still too lazy to even go downstairs and get one of those new chapsticks I bought. The saddest thing is, I just noticed my purse with my camera and chapsticks are in my room and I could just get off the chair and stretch my arm and I'll have them. Gosh I hate laziness.

Ok, here's a question for anyone reading: What mode of art making do you enjoy the most? Give me ideas. I'm going to Israel for a few months and I should at least lie to myself and say I'm going to use to work on my non-existent art and I need ideas.

My daddy made waffles and other short stories.

I'm finally warm enough to take off my sweatshirt, and that's only because I'm sitting RIGHT IN FRONT OF the radiator. And my back is getting cold. There is no rest for the weary. Not that I'm weary at the moment. I think my body is finally getting used to sleep. Of course I still wake up several times in the night (I'm like a newborn). On shabbos I woke up with my clowns strewn across my bed and my sister's. But before you all turn to me with the glint in your eye ("why doesn't she do weird things when we have sleepovers with her"), my sister also sleep talks. While I was reading she turned over and said to me "What's that on the roof? Why is there a dog there?" Crazy lady. Lol, what's funny is that even though she was asleep, she was talking about my dog Effie who was sitting on top of her desk. Hmmm.

Speaking of crazy ladies, I have a new code name. I am the Pink Lady. Go grease lightning, I'm bringing it back! I want a pink leather jacket to go with my cowboy boots. Oooh, I be the talk o' the town in that get up. YeeHaa!

My asthma is back. I blame the chicken.

I saw this movie last night and then again today. It's called "Benny and Joon" I highly recommend it. Think Johnny Depp, young and hysterical, think adorable Aidan Quinn, think other funny people. It's fabulous. Y'all should go rent/borrow it.

Marsupials

Hello, and welcome to "The Nemo Show". I am your host, Rivkah Nemo.

Today Nemo was spotted leaving CT and wending her way to JFK airport. She clumsily tried to take the subway and required aide from fellow passengers. Arriving at JFK Nemo checked in without hassle and swiped a few airborne samples. Once on the plane, Nemo realized there was nothing to watch on television. Not that it stopped her from obsessively flipping channels. Armed with her iced coffee Nemo awaited her plane. Luckily it was not delayed and she arrived in Pittsburgh only a few minutes after the scheduled ETA. Nemo was overjoyed to buy her blueberry body butter really cheap from the Body Shop in the airport. Finally, without undue stress Nemo arrived home to eat yummy pea soup.

thank you for joining me in another episode of "The Nemo Show"

P.s. For your benefit, I included pictures of Effie on our journey.

Effie is sad that we are leaving CT.


Effie checks her e-mail while waiting to board the plane.


Effie breathes a sigh of relief as we quickly claim our bags.

Two Posts in One Day!

Why that is positively absurd!
I went shopping today and found a bargain at Old Navy. Little bit of money, lotta bit of clothes. Anyone remember the old Chef Boyardee commercial? I also went to Wal Mart and got a camera case. I mean really, a pink felt hat just doesn't cut it. Where is my modern technology? Lastly, I went to a graduation party thrown in my honor. Yummers on the food. Thank yous for all my presents. I had a great time. Sarah K got me ears! I know, I always said I would do better in life with an extra pair...



So, there is more to this post than my Minnie Ears. I finally edited a new youtube vid! Check it out on youtube and rate me, or watch it here and make me only semi love you... (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=amerloc03)



Nighty night guys!

It's all about the title, right?

So I tend to hit the enter button a lot. I also like capitalizing the All The Words In My Sentences. Maybe I should have titled this "Useless Facts About Nemo". I like writing titles since I get to Capitalize. Also, they're fun. They only marginally need to connect to the subject and they are usually amusing to arouse interest.
So I actually ate meat and chicken this shabbos. Gasp, shock and horror. But you know what? It didn't hurt. It is so all in my head. Truth is, I think I will continue, if not being (mostly) vegan, trying to limit meat and dairy intake. I feel better when I do. This is hard. It's a meat and dairy world out there, and it ain't all pretty. But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Maybe I'll become a hippy in Israel.
My hands are cold, but shabbos was lovely. I talked-- a lot. I got to see people I like. Aaaaand, I got to relax. The only thing I'm worried about typing is this blog entry. Imagine my joy!
Lastly, tomorrow friends of mine are making me a graduation party. It's really sweet, and it makes me feel like a grown up. Or an almost grown up. Now I need to move onto the next stage. Eeek, there's really a next stage. Wake up fellow undergrads! There's a world out there in which one must be an adult. A real live adult, with a job, and rent, and a family, and, and, and, I don't even know. Scary...

It's happened!

And I just can't believe it. I can't really be done. No, wait I still have more papers, I still need to go tutor. Oh, I don't. I think I'm in shock. I think I will be in shock until I receive my diploma, but it's true. I, Rivkah T., am a college graduate. I can't wait to fill out one of those questionnaires that asks your level of education. Instead of "some college", it's now "college degree". You know what the best part is? I have time. Time to sleep in. Time to stay up late watching movies. Time to read fiction books for fun. I have time. To every season there is a time. Well I have time now!
