What's in a name?

I'm sure you all are wondering, "What in tarnations does Herluckyham mean?" Or even "What kind of sarsaparilla was this person drinking when she came up with this URL?"
(I gave up swearing for lent, so I have to come up with delightfully alternative phrases)

No need to fret! Wipe that frown off your brow. You are about to be informed.

It's actually a reference from The Carol Burnett Show. It was from a line in their Jaws spoof (called "Jowls") said by Tim Conway, who happens to be one of my idols. I'll post a video of the sketch's blooper, which includes a little back story on how much it cracked up Conway. Always puts a smile on my face:


It starts around 2:20. Enjoy!

That's all for now, folks. More later, once this week is over. Homework and stage managing responsibilities and job interviews are abound.

Saturday night

Things college kids say on the weekends:
"I promise I'm not drunk! I only threw up because that last shot of vodka went down the wrong way"

Or the classic:
"I'm not drunk! I'm just tipsy"
(Repeated a million times over the course of 10 minutes.)

Sorry, but if you feel the need to keep clarifying yourself, then you're probably drunk. (But you're also probably entertaining. None of these have to be a bad thing!)

Sometimes when I see eager young freshman girls walking around campus all scantily clad and hooking up with anything that stands up straight, I like reminding myself "That's probably going to be someone's grandma someday."
And then the future seems bright and magical.
