Hi G.!

I need to learn a way to avoid dancing with certain partners. Unfortunately, they find a way to corner you, and you don't really have much of a choice but to refuse them to their face, or be nice. For some reason, I always choose niceness. WHY? I mean, if they can't be bothered to wear deodorant, why must I be bothered to be nice? I need to get over this. But I know I won't. Le sigh.

The musical is pretty.

I had a crazy busy day. I need to eat dinner. And watch Veronica Mars. But I might just skip dinner, and save VM for tomorrow. Even though I'm not terribly tired.

Also, the other crap thing from today was my piano quiz, where I completely and totally sucked. BADLY. Even though I've been practicing like crazy, and I could do it without any problems. That just sucked. I was very upset with myself.

NY Times Headline:

Pope Is Getting Nutrition Through a Feeding Tube

This is so not the good kind of irony. It's going to drag on for months and months, isn't it?

Mom is going to freak. The Pope and I disagree about many things, and it isn't likely I'll see him change his mind at this point. Still, it must be so frustrating to have a keen mind and watch your body fail around you. So very not like Terri. It is a blessing that she is unaware of the spectacle surrounding her demise.

Timelies!

Also, Jerry Falwell is on a ventilator. Now if only something dire would happen to Randall Terry....

They should put Terri Schiavo, Jerry Falwell and the Pope all in the same room. It could be a sitcom - or a new reality-TV show.

OK, maybe that's not enough for a sitcom - they might need a trash-talkin' penguin.

aurelia! You missed hour two? I wish I had a tape of it to send to you because it was good.

Trash talking penguins are always good.

Study: Marsupials Can See Color

Hooray!

Also, until recenlty it was thought that cat were colorblind. Now scientists know they can see color. The problem is that it's very difficult for scientists to get cats to actually care what color something is.

Perkins, my mom has one of those double-mattress Aerobeds, but she also just got a futon for her guest room so I'm not sure she plans on keeping the Aerobed. You want I should ask her about it?

Emily and vw are quite possibly the cutest roommates ever, with pets to match.

Hec and I also have broken the no-nookie-till-Gus-returns vow. We would plead ignorance were it not for the inconvenient fact that knowing about the vow wouldn't have made a damn bit of difference.
