July's post - A thru K

Actors/Actresses – Sandra Bullock is AWESOME!!! Definitely my favorite actress. Funny, drop dead gorgeous, smart. Seems very down-to-earth. Not sure I have enough tattoos for her, though J

Benny’s Blog – Benny the Chicken started out as a prop in a murder mystery party I did with some friends. Soon afterwards, he got his own. See what (and where!) Benny is up to!

Comics – Savage Chicken is forwarded to me on a frequent basis by one of my co-workers (Chris Clark! Look at that! He fits into this category, too!). Thought I would pass on some of the insanity!

Dr. Who – I never did watch the early versions of Dr. Who, because I didn’t watch a lot of British TV on PBS growing up. However, I have been TOTALLY sucked into the reboot that BBC has done within the last few years. My favorite season is Season 2, followed closely by Season 4. I’m looking forward to the next Dr. Who special “The Waters of Mars”. Looks incredibly creepy!

E-mail loop – On occasion, my friends (and occasionally co-workers) will get a string of e-mails going during the course of a day. I call them “e-mail loops”. On those days, I don’t get a whole lot of work done. However, they are very entertaining. I’ll include one (once I figure out how to get them on the web, because they would take up a ton of space on this blog!)

Family/Friends – It’s been a good week for family and friends. My mom and stepdad visited and left this morning. My brother texted me “Happy Birthday” a day early and my dad left a voicemail this morning wishing me happy birthday. I had a good version and a very bad (but fun) version of Happy Birthday sang to me today by co-workers. All in all, a good birthday. Nobody pushed all the buttons in the right order this month. Thus, everyone lives.

Good Grief! – Normally, I would have something to be exasperated about. However, it’s been a good month up to today, so no complaining! I’m sure I’ll have something next month.

Happiness is … Four bags of Oreos for your birthday.

International Traveler – In 10 days, I will be on my way to Egypt. I’ve been overseas, but only to places where they speak English. And it’s going to be hot! However, how cool will it be to see the Pyramids, ride a camel, cruise the Nile, and float in a hot air balloon over the Valley of the Kings? I cannot wait!

Just John – That’s me, in case you were wondering. So far, this has been a good month. I’ve had some motivational issues with work, but I’m working through those. Hopefully Egypt will recharge me! I’m also hoping to prove my friends (Kathy and Chris) wrong by keeping up with this blog! We’ll see … I guess that wasn’t really a whole lot about me, was it? I’ll think of something for next time (or I’ll have a story to tell!)

Knowledge is Power – And power is good! Your random fact for the month: A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.)
