IMPALEMENT FOR FUN AND PROFIT (THE RESULTS)
Just got back a little bit ago from the March of Dimes fencing tournament my club sponsored (and which none of you stinkers offered to help out). Ended up 9 of 14. Okay enough results I guess. I think I would have donen a little better if I hadn't been fighting a cold for the past week.

On a seperate note, as most you know, I'm a big Star Wars fan, and yes I did see the movie on Thursday. I'm gonna catch another show tonight, and I'll post my personal review about it in the next day or two.

THE QUEST FOR THE HOLY LIGHTSABER.......
Over on RASSM, when we get trolls complaining about aspects of Star Wars, inevitable the complaint comes up that the actors are all "wooden". As I was falling asleep the other night, that was bouncing around in my mind, and it sort of morphed into a Monty Python sketch. (This will really make more sense if you've seen Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail.)

FAN #1: We have found a Star Wars actor, may we burn her?
BEDEVERE: How do you know she is a Star Wars actor?
FAN #1: She looks like one.
BEDEVERE: Bring her forward.
VICTIM: I'm not a Star Wars actor. I'm not a Star Wars actor.
BED.: But you are dressed like one.
VICTIM: They dressed me up like this.
CROWD: No we didn't.
VICTIM: And this isn't my hair, it's a cinnamon bun wig.
BED.: Well?
FAN #1: Well we did do the wig.
BED.: The wig?
FAN #1: And the robe. But she is an actor.
BED.: Did you dress her up like this?
CROWD: No, no, no, yes, yes. A bit.
BED.: What makes you think she is a Star Wars actor?
FAN #2: She turned me into a Jawa!
BED.: A Jawa?
FAN #2: I got better.
FAN #1: Burn her anyways!! Burn her anyways!!
BED.: Quiet! There ways of telling if she is a Star Wars actor.
CROWD: There are?
BED.: Tell me, what do you do with Star Wars actors?
CROWD: Burn em!
BED.: And what do you burn aside from Star Wars actors?
FAN #1: Star Trek actors!
FAN #2: Wood!
BED.: So why do actors burn?
[pause]
FAN #3: Be....cause they're made of wood?
BED: Good! So how do we tell if she is made of wood?
FAN #1: Build a bridge out of her!
BED: But can you not also build bridges out of directors?
CROWD: Oh yeah.
BED: Does wood sink in water?
FAN #1: Nope.
FAN #2: It floats.
FAN #1: The artificial pond. Throw her into the artifical pond!
BED: What also floats in water?
FAN #1: Bread!
FAN #2: Costumes!
FAN #3: Extras! Extras!
FAN #1: Producers! Producers!
MCCULLUM: A prop!
BED: Exactly! So, logically...
FAN #3: If... she.. weighs the same as a prop, she's made of wood.
BED: And therefore...?
FAN #3: A Star Wars actor.
CROWD: A Star Wars actor! A Star Wars actor!
BED: We shall use my largest scales.

IMPALEMENT FOR FUN AND PROFIT
I know that everybody **REALLY** want to give me lots of money, right? :) It's for a good cause, not just to line my pockets. (However, if you want to give money for that cause too, I'll take it.) Frequent readers of this blog know that I've been taking fencing as a hobby. Well, the club that I belong to (Cyrano's Place, link on the left) is having a fundraising tournament to support the March of Dimes. It's on Sunday, May 19th and we're asking for donations and sponsors. Sponsoring can be done in several ways:
1) A general donation for the day.
2) The number of people I fence, also know as a bout. Sponsorship that way can be done either for the number of people I face, or the number of bouts I win. Personally, the average number of bouts per tournament I fence is between 5 and 7. Of the bouts I fence, I usually win about half.
3) Or by my placement for the day. Based upon past performance, I usually end up in the middle of the pack.

It is also open to the public and free of charge to watch (I believe). If you want to come and watch, let me know and I'll send you directions.
If you would like to help out or have any questions, drop me an EMAIL.

Thanks for all the help.

I NEED A FAVOR.....
Okay everybody, I need you to do a favor for me. Think "Single, Female, Mid-Twenties, with lots of single friends." Could ya'll do that for me? The apartment next to mine is available for rent, and as far as I know, it hasn't been rented out yet. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks! :)

SURPRISE!!
See what happens when my job requires me to sit next to a printer for several hours, doing nothing but feeding paper into it? You get a new looking blog, and I get the headache of trying to switch it over. :) Let me know what you think of the new look.



 
TIME IS ON MY MIND
Was going through and cleaning out some old emails the other day, and stumbled across something I had written awhile ago. It was a late night at work, and I was in a little bit of a melancholy and pensive mood. I was sitting at a computer and typed this out and sent it to a few friends of mine. Let me know what you think. Also, I need help thinking of a good title for it. If you think of one, let me know.

Time is like an oiled shadow.
It creeps up in the alleys of Life,
Silent as a cemetary at midnight.
You turn to look back at the Past
Then turn to look for the Present
And
BAM!
It's right in your face.
Never heard it coming.
Never saw it coming.
And it still arrives,
Whether you like it or not.

READ A GOOD BOOK LATELY?

If you'll direct your attention over to the left side of the screen, under the "recommended" section, you'll notice I've added something new. It's the "now reading" and "just finished" sections. That's for books I'm either reading at the moment, or for ones I've just finished. If you've read the one I'm reading at the time, or heard things about it, drop a comment and let me know what you think. Ditto for the "just finished" books. Those will probably be the last 5 or so books I've read. It's gonna be an ongoing thing, so drop a line anytime.
