- müs is looking at plane tickets to come out here! That would seriously make my year. Someone to show around, someone to agree with me on how cute/frickin' annoying the kids are, someone to derisively tell me how barren my apartment is...brilliant. You better make it out here, müs; my expectations are now set far too high. If you don't come, I will break your kneecaps.
- Teacher work days = fantastic. I got all my report cards done today, without having to kill myself over the weekend. Now it's time to brace myself for conferences on Wednesday and Thursday...12-hour days! Woo!
- St. Patrick's Day for me turned out to be a series of poor choices. Not terribly awful, just rather disappointing. It involved: (a) hanging out with my TA and some of her friends from a local university... (b)...at a frat house. The Sigma Chi house. (Disclaimer: I had not agreed to this in advance.) It was ridiculous; frat boys are amazingly stupid and I am far too old to be doing stuff like this. Anyway, on with the list: (c) going to two very, very crowded bars with (d) drunk people wearing all kinds of tacky green 'Irish' stuff. And (e) cheap, gross beer because Guinness was $7 a pint, and (f) some of said beer getting spilled on my coat. And last, (g) an hour walk home in 15-degree weather because there were no cabs to be had. So yeah, it rather sucked. I stayed in the rest of the weekend.
- You know that feeling when you're kind of getting sick but you do everything possible to stop it? I'm kind of at that phase. (perhaps due to the hour walk in 15-degree weather...) For the last three days, I've been downing tea like a Brit. However, thanks to this teacher work day and not having to stay up ungodly late doing report cards, I might be able to shake it off. Let's hope!
- I recently bought the newest GBS CD as well as this CD from Nickel Creek. Both excellent, if you like my taste in music, but I don't think any of you does. Except maybe müs, for whom I'll be making a copy of the GBS CD anyway. I've been listening to the GBS CD pretty much non-stop since I got it on Saturday, except for in school today, where I had to turn it off because I was singing along and not getting any work done. Just to share: Track #4 from that one is just about the funniest song I have ever heard. I had to listen to it twice just to make sure I heard it right the first time...a bit raunchy but so amusing. (Why yes, I do have the maturity level of a teenage boy.)
- I will be cat- and house-sitting from tomorrow until next Tuesday, so no updates from me. And then I'll be cat-/house-sitting again over spring break. (however, they have wireless internet, so I'll probably update) It's my new little cottage industry.
Happy vernal equinox! Wouldn't 'vernal equinox' be a great name for a band?

*How does one pronounce "TAREIBF"? Taer-ee-bf? Tah-rai-bee-eff? Help.
*Is said song funnier than "Yeah Toast"? Doubtful. But maybe.
*Take vitamin C. Drink OJ. Eat oranges. Pop the vitamins like they're candy. I'm fairly certain they're water soluble, so no real harm can be done in the short-term :)
* I believe the accepted pronunciation, according to Webster's, is 'tare-ibif'.
* Okay, 'Yeah Toast' is funnier. This would be the second-funniest song I have ever heard.
* Check, check, check (until I ran out of them) and check...sort of. Thanks, Mom! :)
That's crazy. I'm listening to "Yeah Toast" as we speak. Whoa! And thanks for burning the new GBS CD! fantasmagorical. Sucks about St. Patrick's day though...nothing like all of America pissing all over our culture; especially Sigma Chi retards. They're the worst of them all, with the possible exception of DKE.
Dead cats and squirrels,
mus
