Colorado Springs won't know what hit them
So, after being repremanded by Corey via blog, I figured I'd better get in here and post again. Not a whole lot new going on here. I got my car worked on last week. The brakes were being moody, so I took them in for an attitude adjustment. Worked like a charm! :)
I think the biggest news around here is still Marvin's internship. Surprising how a little thing like an internship can require so much preplanning. Like for example, I may buy my first plane ticket on my own soon, so I can drive to Colorado Springs with Marvin in January and help him move in. And, I may invest in my first travel package for Spring Break. I've decided that six months is too long to go without seeing Marvin, so I suppose that means a Spring Break trip. That should be fun. Maybe I'll get a sister or two and maybe a brother-in-law and a sister's boyfriend to come with me. If they want of course. Could be a fun trip.
So after reading some of my previous blogs, they all seem pretty depressing, which isn't really an accurate representation of how things go. I actually have quite a bit of fun during the week. For example, for one of my classes, I'm required to work with a group of middle school girls with a program called Public Achievement. This is a program that tries to teach youth about public action and how to accomplish goals within the system. So anyways, my group of girls is probably the smartest group of seventh grade girls I've ever seen. They want to work on getting middle school students more politically active and educated. They all have pretty advanced political philosophies for kids their age, and one of them is actually reading a philosophy book (Sophie's World) I didn't read until my senior year in high school!! They're geniuses I tell you!
Marvin and I made dinner this week and watched Shrek 2. I thought it was a really cute movie:). But now, I'm wondering, if the giant gingerbread man and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man got into a fight, who would win? I think I'd have the Happy Chef ref. My personal opinion I think is that the Marshmallow Man would win. He seems much more evil. And gooey.
Well, I've got a big long list of things to do this week. I have a meeting with an attorney on Tuesday to see what my options are for this conflict between me and my old land lord (who's trying to screw me out of a bunch of money). That should be interesting. I've also got a big long standarized test to take on Saturday for the college of education. Feels like I'm back in high school taking the ACT.
So, off to work on homework. Have a good week everyone!

My vote would have to go to the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man too, Sarah. For starters, wasn't the gingerbread man sans a head after the first movie? Its heard to fight without a head. Plus, the marshmallow man has an undeniable size advantage of like 100 tons to 4 oz.
Either way, after the fight, it would be delicious. And isn't that what really matters?
Well, my fellow philosophical death match analyst friends, Sarah did point out that this would be a "giant" gingerbread man, therefore offsetting the advantage or increased obesity previous given to the stay puft marshmallow man. It's kinda like the Ditka vs. a Hurricane thing...it's all good, until the hurricane is named "Hurricane Ditka."
And, in addition, I believe that, at the end of the filming of Shrek, the Gingerbread man was short a leg (at the knee), not a head. Being down a head would have made for a rather morbid children's movie, if you ask me. Also, by the end of the movie, the Gingerbread man had a prosthetic limb (made of high quality gingerbread, I'm sure) attached via some ultra-bond frosting. Certainly, by now, that wound has healed.
So, who would win?
Both have shown incredible resilience to pain. The gingerbread man lost a limb and the Stay Puft marshmallow man was melted while still wearing his pleasant (yet eerie) smile. Both are of gargantuan size. And both are remarkably declicious.
In the end, I say that the winner will be...
Christopher Robbin (the giant from Winnie the Pooh) with a glass of milk.
Well guys, first of all Christopher Robin wasn't a giant in Winnie the Pooh. He was definately merely Pooh sized.
As far as the giant gingerbread man goes, it was the little one from the first Shrek that lost his leg, BUT in Shrek 2 it was reattached through the magic of frosting. The big one ended up on the bottom of a moat, which I suppose would make him too soggy to combat the forces of marshmallow goo.
If they fought pre-sinkage though, the gingerbread man did have the gumdrop buttons to his advantage. Upon further review, I've decided that it would probably end up in a tie. The Marshmallow Man could take out the gingerbread man, but he'd have to gooify himself first, which would mean that he would be destroyed also. Mmmm...a delicious delicious tie.
