Sometimes I sit and think about weblog protocol (and this is not the kind of thinking, friends, that I can do while standing up, or God forbid, walking-- I must sit and think about it). When I say weblog protocol, I mean…
Around Fechko I have an alter ego: Olga, The Obscure Eastern European. She talks with a generic and unidentifiable Eastern European accent. Is she German? Russian? Swedish? Danish? Croatian? Polish? Who knows, and who ca…
Day 3. Still sick. Now sick, bored, and lonely. Presently at least four canker sores in my throat. Today's movie menu: The Wedding Singer Father of The Bride Raiders of The Lost Ark From Russia With Love Also had mom…
So... seeing as how I don't really have anything useful to do... I'm posting again. I'm quite sick. There's a tremendous amount of activity transpiring in my immune system right now (thanks, Micro 522), and as fascinat…
I just wrote a weblog, and I read it over, and I thought, "that sucks. don't post that." so I erased it. What do you want to know? It's Thanksgibbin', blah blah blah. it was great, the food was great, my family is hila…
Noisy shoes make me a little crazy sometimes. There are different types of noisy shoes, though. First off, you have the I'm Really Important And I'm On My Way To Do Something Equally Important shoe noise. This is for p…
U2 was on Saturday Night Live last night. I was a happy girl. It was like an early birthday present. Well, not really. But it was great! -- special thanks and 20 Andrea points to Susanna and Mary for calling this to my a…
Jumping in Mirror Lake. Yeah, why not. So I was down there watching the festivities last night. I had good old brother Matthew there via telephone, and we enjoyed the sights and sounds of collegeness together. We were j…
I'm really caffeinated right now. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! (anyone else see a potential drug problem?) It kind of bothers me that everything looks happy and sunny and fun right now, just since I'm high on cof…
I think there are a lot of ways to look at gift etiquette. I'm certainly no authority on what is Right and Proper as far as gift giving and receiving (especially when I think of thank-you cards, gift-giving deadlines and…
It's almost that time of year again-- the one brief period of time where people ask me what I want and then they go buy it for me. My birthday and Christmastime. In years past I'd usually make up a 2-3 page (typed) bir…
I really love the house I live in. Not just the building, now-- although it's quite a lovely little gingerbread house. I think the girls here are great. Last night we were sitting and watching CSI when one of us came in…
I was thinking... It would be really cool to have Nightcrawler's X-men powers. I would love to be able to teleport. It would be especially awesome if I could make that killer "BAMF" sound when I did it, too. And I don't…
Dear me... what to write, what to write? Why do I find 80's music so dang appealing? I remember hearing some when I was growing up... unless I'm mistaken, my older siblings weren't too far into the 80's pop groove. I j…
Let's talk 'Andrea Points.' It's a relatively new concept. I'll be talking to friends, and occasionally one'll say/do something that really impresses me (usually on the funny/brilliant comment side rather than the insig…
So there was this guy in the voting line a few people in front of Matt and me. He was a short, stout man in, oh, I'd say his late 60's-early 70's, with this adorable grandpa hat and a Scottish accent. He was one of those…
Yesterday was a miserable day. I knew I had to vote. Not voting just wasn't an option. So I had two options: vote before class, or vote after class. In order to get back to campus for a 9:30 lab, I would have had to be…
Where do you suppose the name Eugene comes from? When I hear that name I think of the Greek prefix eu-, which means "good" (example: euthanasia means "good death"). So what does gene mean in Greek? If, in fact, the name…
Mom and I went grocery shopping again yesterday. There was a couple there, and they were speaking to eachother in Czech. Or maybe Slovak. Either way, I recognized a few words. I thought about saying something, but I didn…
