Get the trailer HERE !!!!!
Yo ho, yo ho...
I came across an article this evening that disturbed me. The title: "Molecule gives passionate lovers just one year". This article is about a certain molecule that we produce when we are in love. Italian scientists have studied the molecule known as NGF (nerve growth factor) which is present in our bodies. This molecule increases when we fall in love but, as the study shows, after one year of being in a relationship, the level of NGF decreases to that of someone who is single or currently in a long term (i.e. longer than a year) relationship.
Does this disturb anyone else? I'd like to know more about the people whose levels were studied. Even if the molecule in their body decreases, are they doing anything to make the relationship stronger? more passionate? fulfilling? I have a tendency to believe that those who lose a relationship after a year of happiness had unrealistic expectations in the beginning. Most of us who have been through long-term relationships know that the first year is the "honeymoon period" and that after that, the real person comes out. Of course, I think the older you get, the less time you need in the honeymoon phase to figure out whether or not you want to be with the other person. You pretty much know after a couple of months if this is someone you want to spend more time with.
In the end, it's really about finding your perfect person. Not someone who is perfect but someone who is perfect for you... flaws and all. In the end, I think you just know who that person is when you meet them and there's no need to dance around this honeymoon phase for a year. If it's right, it's right. Call it chemistry, call it timing, put them all together, add water and stir. See... juuuust right.
After a couple months of agonizing over fried hard drives, slow iPod charging and general slowness of my old computer, I was forced to make a decision on what to do... My new hard drive fried on Thursday and I replaced with an old, slower, working 40GB hard drive. Small, I know... but, it was just to get me by until I could figure out what I wanted to do. After dealing with the slowness of it, my decision was made... a new laptop, please. I ordered one on the few remaining sparks of that 40GB hard drive and it arrived today. Just in time, thank you! My 40GB hard drive fried, as well. Not sure if there was a virus coming thru the network and killing my machine or the stars were aligned not in my favor.... Either way, I have a new toy. Say hello to my Dell XPS. Powerful, fast, light and oh-so cute! She's bluetooth enabled, DVD friendly and just fast as a canonball. I'll be taking her on many travels with me so my updating will be much more frequent! Hurrah!
My week of bliss is beginning. My boys are in town. Reach out and touch Dave.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2 he said: "I don't smoke, drink or take drugs anymore. "But knowing my luck, a bird will c**p on me and I'll get bird flu on the way home."
I read this quote from Ozzy Osbourne today and had a strange reaction... I actually agreed with him. Well, first, I laughed, then I thought "Eeeek..I have bad luck sometimes, too.". Then I woke up and realised it was all a bad dream. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...
Am I dreaming? This can't be real. Someone, please pinch me... Greatest lineup, ever! (If I get tickets!) Worst lineup ever, if I dont...
Not only do I absolutely adore John Cleese but now I can love his lemur too. Read this story on CNN and burst out in a fit of laughter:
ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) -- Most people know him as the Minister for Silly Walks on "Monty Python" or as Q in James Bond films. But John Cleese will also go down in history for another reason: lemurs.
Researchers from the University of Zurich have named a newly discovered species of lemur -- one of the most primitive and endangered primates in the world -- after the British comedian in honor of his work with the animal.
The avahi cleesei, which weights less than two pounds and eats leaves, was discovered in Western Madagascar in 1990 by a team led by anthropologist Urs Thalmann and his colleague Thomas Geissman of Zurich University.
The name is a tribute to Cleese's promotion of the plight of lemurs in the movie "Fierce Creatures" and documentary "Operation Lemur with John Cleese," the university said in a statement. A lemur even appears next to Cleese on his Web site.
The lemur's long legs are the only physical attribute it shares with Cleese, Thalmann told New Scientist magazine. "Woolly lemurs can't really walk -- but they do enjoy silly jumps," he said.
Ryan sent me this link and it made my day. Funny, funny stuff. I don't know which is my favorite but I do enjoy the German Shephard pulling the kid around quite a bit. Why We Love Dogs Video
Note: Photo has nothing to do with the video... it's just a cute puppy!
Were you wondering what I was doing at home while you were at work? Did you find yourself wishing you could be home sick, too? Well, after finally getting my Multimedia Messaging fixed with Cingular, I was able to send photos of what this puppyhugger saw on her sick day.
Mr. Snuffles. Mr. Snuffles is one of my favorite teddy bears because he's easy to cuddle and pink. He frequently sleeps in bed with me but he usually ends up stuck on the side of the bed, between the covers and the mattress, by the time the sun rises. Yesterday, I spent a lot of the day in bed so Mr. Snuffles suffered little. We drank tea, watched silly movies and napped.
Kleenex. Real Simple Magazine. Sudafed. Berkeley. Blanket. These are items that I had with me most of the day when I wasn't sitting upstairs in bed. I kept the Sudafed & Kleenex nearby at all times. Berkeley and I slept under the blanket until she turned into Devil Doggie and decided to speak doggie Latin and squrim on her back until I squirted holy water on her.
My sick day was not eventful but I did enjoy reading my magazine and watching Shrek 2 & Love Actually for the millionth time. We'll have to work on Berkeley's Devil Doggie mode and see if she can keep her devlishing squirming to a minimum.
Read Calvin & Hobbes. Silly tiger.
