For Nae

See Renae, I can update, and it wasn't even JUST O-chem that was keeping me from it...It was a busy week and weekend. All last week I chilled with people, played games, climbed, and did as little homework as possible. You would like the book I have to read for rhet. Well, you would like making fun of it. It's called Cyborg Babies, and man, does it suck! It's all about how everyone is a cyborg and how in 10 years, or maybe even just 1, we'll all be in the market for technosemen and making technobabies, and the world will end. This gets me to wondering...just how important are the males in this race anyway? I mean, if this book were to be believed, we are to take the "prime" specimens of maleness, lock them in cages with porn, and have them produce semen to order for women. The semen is then given many tests, including how well it can swim, puncture a hamster egg, and its effectiveness while on caffeine, and then it's frozen for six months before getting to play with a real egg. Then the fetus is made cyborg by ultrasound, and amniosenticis (pardon my spelling, I don't want to look it up). The mother becomes a machine to be serviced with epidurals and procedues like IVF... You see why we think this book is rather...oh, just fill in the blank. I think it's insane. Am I a cyborg then, just because I go to the doctor, or use a computer, or have contacts, or have to use an inhaler once in a while? Or...because I had my tonsils out and was hooked up to a machine? Look out world, the 'new and improved' Tricia is coming to get you! I think the writers and editors of this book have a bit of a reality crisis on their hands. *sigh*

So, back to my week, and my not updating. I kept meaning to update, but then at work, when I have the most time to say, stop working for 5 minutes and post, I was busy. I was making a powerpoint...ALL WEEK LONG. If you have had the...pleasure of me talking to you about this in person or on IM, you know how frustrated with it. But, I'm making what I hope to be the final edits on that presentation today, so I'm in a considerably better mood. What's more...It's SUNNY outside!!!!!! I'm so excited, I love sun. I want to get a laptop from downstairs, check one out, so I can go work outside on the picnic table.

This weekend I went to see Hidalgo with Katie and Jenny and Karin and Chris. It was a good time. I liked the movie. We had Uno's Pizza after and then went to the bar to play darts. I really have to play more darts...I'm losing my edge! So, yeah, that's where things are. This week I have an O-chem test, and work to do at work...and next week is Spring Break. Don't know what I'm doing for that yet, probably working, but I'll figure it out.
