Charter Communications REALLY wants me to have a phone line.  I get mail from them weekly telling me to package all my crap together and save save save!  The thing is, it would add about 40 dollars to my bill now, and I'd have to get a phone line.  Hmm... sounds logical to me.  Not.  They have started calling me and asking me.  Tonight, the guy ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday Corey/Joe!  Hope it's a good one.  :)

Tostitos chips with a hint of lime are NASTY.  They should be renamed Tostitos with a BURST of limey insanity.  Holy crap ( Read more... )

I love that Sawyer gave Hurley a UGA sweatshirt to wear last night on LOST.  Checked it out - Sawyer actually went to UGA for a year... go figure.

As I prefer not to spend my day tomorrow coughing and hacking on my 76 bowling students, I emailed out to all of the other teaching assistants and asked if anyone could cover one or more of my classes... and out of THIRTY people, not one of them emailed back letting me know that they could.  They are 50 minute classes.  I have a hard time with that ( Read more... )
