Holy Glowing Jesus, Batman!!

I blame Lo entirely for this blog entry title.

Every time I say that line it just makes me laugh...short story time: I was in Venice, Italy and we stayed at a nunnery since it was only us three girls traveling together (Me, Jeannine, Elise). We got the last three beds in the nunnery from a very short, very hilarious nun. That night we turned in with all the other girls (there was a curfew) and us three were in a small separate room off the main dormitory with only three beds in it. Jeannine got up to turn off the lights when the nuns informed us it was lights out (they really did) and when she turned back towards the bed she stopped and said 'Holy Glowing Jesus'... and me and Elise looked above our beds at the crucifix (hey, it is a nunnery) which had a GLOW IN THE DARK Jesus hanging on it... I'm not sure if this is sacrilege, but it should be. None of us fell asleep until Jesus stopped glowing and the phrase morphed into 'Holy Glowing Jesus, Batman' for obvious reasons.

Ok so maybe that story isn't so short, and probably most of you have heard it before... onto Things I Have Learned Today:

McDonalds by my house apparently doesn't take anything but cash as a payment. Which was unfortunate to find out at 6:45am in the morning when all I want before I drive into Downtown is a Sausage McMuffin. That's it; from now on I'm just going to Starbucks... hehehehe.

Hair Flat Irons can also double as a clothes iron in times of dire need. Like when you just need to iron your cuffs and collar on a white shirt.

Driving will always take an excessively small amount of time when you plan for using lots of time; and it will always take an excessively large amount of time when you are running late. I planned an hour and ten minutes to drive into Downtown, it took me 30 minutes, but if I had left ten minutes later we all know it would've taken me an hour and ten minutes.

Debit is the wave of the future, mark my words. It's already all the rage on the West Coast. Or maybe I just hang around my parents too much. Though it is evidenced in the fact that McD's will take debit, but not credit.

In other Emmy news: Jennifer Garner and Victor Garber were both nominated for their roles in Alias for a Primetime Emmy. Let's wish them luck because we all know Alias is the best show on television, even with the last uneven season.
