Classes are over! + "Weird Al" Yankovic

Classes are officially over now. Well, technically we were done on Saturday but I finally got my grades this evening. And - hooray! - I got an A in both classes! Next term is "Introduction to Programming" and "Database Systems." I'm going to be learning about PHP scripting and database design. WOO! Actually, I'm pretty excited about these things, which makes me wonder if - perhaps - I should have gone the "programmer" router rather than the Website designer one.

But the term is over and I have a few weeks to relax and rest my brain. And also to get through that CSS tome I've been meaning to get to. Beginning Wednesday I have 7 days in a row off so it will be nice to get some real relaxing (read: sitting on my ass watching Tivo) in as well as updating my website.

My hope is that I'll have my new site identity and design in place by the turn of the year. There. I've said it. Now I'm committed! ;-)

Anyway... other than all that, well... not really sure what more there is to say. I'm feeling pretty good these days and am starting to get back into living my life again. I've started doing yoga before going to bed and that seems to help with both my energy levels and the little nagging aches and pains I've been getting. The sensory issues seem to come and go, but for the most part they are no longer keeping me from doing what I want to do. The areas of weirdness are there constantly, I mean, but they're not causing me much concern at this point.

But most importantly, aside from the occasional bruise, the Avonex isn't causing me any trouble anymore. I seem to be able to give myself my shot whenever with minimal trouble or side effects. THANK HEAVENS. This is the treatment I really wanted to be on and I'm so glad we've finally gotten me to the point where it's not making my life miserable. So unless my neurologist has a real problem with it (unlikely) when I see him on the 2nd of January, I'll be starting back at work full time again after the first of the year.

So things are good. Just got home from dinner w/ my dad and brother and his family. All is well. I'm feeling content, even if everything in my life isn't as I'd have it. I'm just fine and that's enough.

But, for those of you who want more: follow the extended entry, there is a link to a funny video plus a blast from the past!

This video is a riot. I can't stop watching it and laughing over it... it gets funnier the more times you watch it. Really.

Oh, and speaking of hilarious: remember "Weird Al" Yankovic? Well, my cousin asked for some "Weird Al" CDs for Christmas and I've had a ball listening to some of my favorites from the 80s, like:
"Fat," ("When I go to the movies, I take up 7 rows....")
"Eat it" (Just eat it, eat it, get yourself an egg and beat it..." )
"Like a Surgeon" ("Cuttin' for the very first time...")
"I Think I'm A Clone Now" ("there's always two of me just a-hangin' around")
"I Love Rocky Road" ("So have another triple-scoop with me!")

and my personal favorite:

"Yoda," sung to the tune of "Lola" by The Kinks:

Well I'm not dumb
but I can't understand,
how he can lift me in the air
just by raising his hand
Oh my Yoda...
Ya-ya-ya-ya-Yoda

If I could have afforded it I swear I'd have bought my cousin every darned album "Weird Al" has put out - plus the DVD of the videos - just because they're all so darned hilarious.

Anyway, just a little blast from the distant past...

That video was hysterical! Check out my post today I put a funny link (well at least I think it's funny)

All A's? Well now, you might just put me out of a job! I know you are reading the Philly papers just to get into this job market! ;)

Wow...all A's!!!! You rock, Missy!!! Ahem...I feel sooo like a proud parent here and I have no earthly clue why?!? LOL
