I lifted this from shala's journal...

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal...
5. ...along with these instructions.

The encyclopedia is giving me lots of good ideas. -- from A.J. Jacobs's The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest ( Read more... )

Joey and Jessica (well, Jessica mostly) had a baby boy at 7:30 this morning. His name is Elijah George Bacal, and he weighs 7.5 pounds. I think she was in labor for something like 24 hours (without drugs!). That's pretty much all I know. My parents are on their way there and I think I'm going on Thursday afternoon.

So johnkerry.com sent out this thank you, blah blah e-mail thing supposedly written by John Kerry himself. It contained the following sentence: "In America, it is vital that every vote counts, and that every vote be counted." I can't decide which bothers me more about the sentence--the fact that it's hypocritical since he conceded the election ( Read more... )

I am going to burrow under gound. Someone wake me up in four years.

Feeling shitty. Contemplating not going to French. But then I will really be lost. I really need to sleep for about 14 hours. Shitload of reading to do tonight that I put off all weekend. Fuck, I should leave now. Okay, time for an hour and twenty minute of seeing how long I can keep my eyes shut without appearing to be asleep or actually ( Read more... )

OH . . . MY . . . GOD!!! Eight straight, baby. Never been done. I seriously can't believe this right now. I'm all hoarse from screaming and I have a 9:00 am class, but I really don't care. This is too cool!

I guess all those Yankee fans will have to start chanting 2004 from now on. HA!!!

Hee, Pedro trying to hit? Funny. He better hope he never ends up on a National League team. Rough draft of a four page paper that I haven't started due tomorrow? Not funny.

So I read through page sixty in the novel we're reading in my French class. I have thus completed the assignment...except for the minor detail that I have no fucking clue what is going on in the book. For the other things we've read I had a pretty good understanding of what was happening. Now? Not so much ( Read more... )

HA! FUCK YEAH! I really don't know what to say. No matter what happens now, the Yankees will go down as the first team ever to blow a 3-0 series in the ALCS. Take that you cocky bastards!!!

Um, five page paper due tomorrow, midterm in eight and a half hours . . . ? Yeah, this could become an issue

So, funny story... For some reason I had the notion that my presentation on ethnic slurs and the one-page summary of my findings was due next Monday. Not the case. Good thing I actually did a lot of research this weekend. So I totally winged the presentation and asked the prof. if I could give her the written part later. I then hauled ass to ( Read more... )
