Must....get....off...computer. I am currently looking for grammar mistakes at the community grammar_whores. I am in desperate need of a hobby.

My parents called. They are back from Hawaii, and staying with my brother in San Francisco. Sounds like they had fun, despite some bad weather. Isn't there a commercial where a guy wins a trip to Para

Wow, where the hell do I start ( Read more... )

I'm trying to think of how to describe today, a banner day if ever there was one. *sigh ( Read more... )

We had our class Valentine party today. Valentine's Day (also V-Day, by the founder of "The Vagina Monologues") is Thursday, but we can't have a party then because it's after the start of lent.

I lose my voice without fail everytime I have a cold. Now is no exception. I suppose I didn't need to talk today, anyway. I have big plans to watch Law and Order and ER; I taped some stuff this week because I decided I'd rather sleep than watch TV. I don't know why I keep watching ER. At this point I watch it more out of habit than anything ( Read more... )
