It's a Be-a-u-tiful Morning

i started my homework at 12:41 a.m. or is that p.m. i can never figure out the whole 12:00 situation, whether it is morning or afternoon. whatever, you know what i mean. i just finished, and it is officially 1:06. not the most rigorous night of bookwork ever. but hey, i'm still cranking out a nice post for you guys here.

okay, let me tell you about the joke that is my online journalism production class. no offense to the professors who teach these classes...somehow i doubt news of my disapproving post on the subject will reach them...but mine is the most worthless two hours a week i have ever spent. not to mention it happens to fall at 8 o'clock in the morning. i really have to give it up for classes in which i spend more time looking at my email and facebook than at the professor. i learned this kind of stuff back when i was five and my mom brought our first computer home. we had to start it up the old fashioned way, from ms-dos. these young kids these days don't know how easy they have it. anyway, that's a topic for another day. so, we are learning about how to edit photos in photo shop and execute simple html commands like making text bold or underlined. the sad thing is...a lot of people in my class are having a tough go of it. there really should be a competency exam that we can take on the first day, and if we pass we don't have to go to any more classes and we get an automatic a+.

ever since i learned how to put pictures up on this thing, i've gone a little crazy with it. so here is something to stare at and a little quotage to tickle the noggin.

btw, i believe this is a potato carved to resemble a two-piece bathing suit...correct me if i'm wrong. the french phrase underneath the photo translates to 'not here.'
