Who Knew?

Watched the Labyrinth again this weekend - this time it was the dvd version rather than the poor quality, taped off tv version that I watched while I was sick.

Discovery - the ballroom scene in the Labyrinth was actually choreographed by none other than our own Dr. Beverly Crusher! Who knew?! I was fast forwarding through the "making of" special feature looking for parts about David Bowie, when I stumbled upon this trivia tidbit.

On a Beverly Crusher related note, I used to have a friend who said I looked exactly like Beverly Crusher - apparently this is especially true in one of the episodes where there is a passive resistance and she doesn't smile. When we went to Canada's Wonderland on a high school band trip he forced me to get my picture taken beside a giant cardboard cutout of her in order to prove it. I'd definitely like to watch all the Star Trek TNG eps again though. What a fabulous show. Palmer, when you find your theoretical future wife who owns them all, let me know so I can borrow them!

On a David Bowie related note, I've decided that I should now watch all of David Bowie's movies. I saw The Prestige just recently. Sadly, he did not have his long blonde rocker hair in the movie. I guess this was somewhat to be expected since the movie is set in turn-of-the-century London. He does still have very distinctive eyebrows though. Really, this was not such a great movie. Good story idea, but rather slow moving. When you are thinking "just die already" about one of the main characters, it is not a sign of a fabulous motion picture. Next up on the list of David Bowie movies - The Man Who Fell to Earth, circa 1976. If the picture doesn't have you dying to see the movie, there is obviously something wrong with you. ;o)

iHype?

Anything to say about this article? Basic accusations are that Apple is a cult and its products are just pretty and overpriced. Given the fact that I don't even own an MP3 player, I will refrain from commenting; however, I thought my i-loving friends might like the chance to offer a rebuttal. :o)

Jump Jump

So, this morning was your typical wake up late, rush around to get ready type of day. Finally, I was pretty much ready to go. I was showered, my clothes were ironed, and I was dressed. All I had left to do was dry my hair. In an effort to combat static, I decided to go for some leave-in conditioner. Bad idea. When I went to open it, the bottle exploded all over my clothes. Not about to iron another outfit, I threw on some jeans and a sweater and ran out the door.

Later at work, I went to go talk to my reviser about something. She was like "Trish. I really like your sweater, but I think you have it on backwards." Ha ha. The sweater has a freaking pocket on the front of it and I didn’t even notice that I had put it on wrong. If she hadn't pointed it out, I may not have noticed at all!

This in itself was pretty funny, but about half an hour later, my reviser comes by my cube laughing. As she was talking to another one of our coworkers, the girl noticed that the tag of her sweater was at the front. She also had her sweater on backwards!

Sheesh. You’d think we were Kriss Kross or something. :o)
