and the missing hormone is...progesterone?

so one of my classmates was giving a presentation on the male reproductive system and said that the hormone for females is estrogen and "the hormone for males is.......progesterone." and NOBODY said anything!!! even the teacher didn't say, whoa, whoa, what?? another classmate and i looked at each other in amused confusion, but that was about the extent of it. pretty funny.

i got two interesting emails last night, and i'm glad i checked my email right before i went to bed, b/c maybe i got a leg up on things. anyway, the one is from my old roommate, who sent out an email to about 6 of us, saying that she got a translation job, but needs help b/c it's due Oct 3rd. so i said, count me in! apparently it's a company's policy on a drug-free workplace from English into Spanish. it's something i can put on my resume as freelance work, at the very least. so hooray!
the other email was from someone at U of Pitt who is selling off her spanish books and dictionaries. i did some research to see which ones i wanted to buy, and one is recommended by my prof and also happens to be out of print. so i emailed her back and told her i wanted to buy it. however, before i send money, i think i'll ask for a phone # or something to make sure i don't get gypped.

we saw flightplan on saturday night and decided to only see movies in the theatre that are to die for, not just oh, this looks good. b/c, dude. $16.50...we could just go to record exchange and get 2 or 3 used dvds for that price!! anyway, i gave the movie a c+ or b-, but braden liked it a lot better. it was ok/good, but there were some things that got on my nerves. i thought some scenes/ideas were drawn out for too long. plus peter sarsgaard is annoying. he looks like he's going to fall asleep in every scene he's in.
rock the world.

i'm pretty much against most movies these days. they all seem to be getting more and more violent or more "action packed." it's like everyone in the world has the attention span of a 3 year old. what ever happened to character development and actual dialogue???
