Airport shuttle wifi will never get old. Never! LiveJournaling while speeding toward Bloomington is hella sweet. I'm ridiculously excited about spending the next four days in B-town. Already there is more diversity on this shuttle than I've experienced in the entire six months I've been in Lincoln. (Seriously ( Read more... )

This morning I checked CNN.com, and I was sort of amazed that nearly every story was Michael Jackon-related. Apparently the news of his death almost broke the internet. This morning I remarked to Joan (one of my officemates) that I don't quite understand why the Michael Jackson coverage is all-pervasive. She then proceeded to talk for ten ( Read more... )

After driving all day, my parents are almost here!

I saw a squirrel today and it reminded me so much of Marc that I actually almost tried to pick it up.

I skipped the newcomer's orientation like a bad little squirrel and went to hang out with agelesseuridice instead. Yesterday I was awake for 21 consecutive hours, and I traveled by car, plane, airport shuttle, city bus, foot, and taxi. (It was my first ( Read more... )

I call my mom crying once every few weeks now, and she's always so nice about it. Poor Mom ( Read more... )

Today I took the NRA Pistol Course written test and scored a 100%, mostly because that's just how I roll. The instructors were both really impressed and announced it to the whole class, which was kind of embarrassing. Since I'll be missing the last class next week, the instructors let me shoot the .38 special (think cowboy revolver) and the 9mm ( ( Read more... )

Did you know that you can buy pregnancy tests at the Dollar Store? Pregnancy tests. For one dollar. I was tempted to buy one and try it out, just to see how accurate they are. But then I bought a 20-pack of markers instead. It seemed slightly more productive.

If the brand name of your dinner is "Gourmet Dining," then that means that it probably isn't.
