MUCH better than I was the other day, thanks for the concern.

The movie "Bobby" is fairly amazing, and not just in that Bobby Kennedy was the last Democrat I really liked until, mmm, about the time Joe Lieberman showed the world his considerable backbone - that is to say, last summer. The movie is a terrific snapshot of history, even if Elijah Wood ( Read more... )

This afternoon in the shower I got a little woozy. I wrote it off, since I still had quite a lot of shampoo in my hair. And then things got sort of spinny, and then I realized that I couldn't see anything. I tried to open my eyes but they were already open. I turned off the weater and groped my way to the toilet and sat down. I yelled for help, but ( Read more... )

I always knew this would happen, but I never expected that I would care so much.
You're miserable. And there's nothing, NOTHING that I'm allowed to do.
Not that I'd ever be arrogant enough to say I did much in the days when I was allowed to do anything. It has always been and will always be time borrowed from fate and happenstance, some weird ( Read more... )

The next time my vice-chairman of College Republicans, who I love dearly and respect deeply, comes to me with a REALLY GREAT IDEA for a meeting, please remind me to ignore him.

Because among the eight zillion other things I have to do tonight, merrily baking in the kitchen of Farrell Hall is a birthday cake for Ronald Reagan.

I just learned from Campus Connect - Seton Hill's online fount of useful information including account statuses, grade reports, course availability and the like - that I am classified as a senior.

Let me say it, softly: I, Megan Adele Ritter, am a senior in college.

I'm going to make it. I'm going to be the first person in my entire family on either ( Read more... )

"The way that my mother Malka showed that she loved me was that she didn’t take me to Auschwitz. The way that my father showed that he loved me is he found a stranger and begged her to rescue his three daughters….How will you show this word that needs it so that you love it? How will you be the voice for those who don’t have one? How will you take ( Read more... )

Most of my mucous has cleared itself out at long last. I'm pretty happy about it. Kim and I are going to the Holocaust Museum in D.C. tomorrow, and I enjoy my ability to breathe.

1. What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before?
Fell asleep at the wheel. Ate at the Hard Rock Café. Got a speeding ticket. Navigated the New York City subway ( Read more... )

I think that there is no point in lying (laying? I never can remember which one is correct) down and shutting my eyes until my NyQuil begins to kick in. So I'm going to numb my brain while I wait for the flow of mucous to ease off. (I think that in three years of blogging I have never before used the word mucous in two consecutive entries.

In 20 hours I plowed through a bag of thirty Halls Defense Vitamin C Supplement Drops. And then I told Rebecca about this great accomplishment and she had a panic attack on my behalf in her charming older-sisterly way and we went and looked up "vitamin C poisoning" on Wikipedia, fount of all wisdom. So all I have to worry about is the "pronounced ( Read more... )

Can anyone tell me why Google's holiday banner is a drawing of a family of kangaroos?

That's what I thought.

Have a wonderful holiday, guys. I love you all.
