Hello, random
And while we're on the subject, the mosquito bites I've been getting recently are out of this world. Clearly the rest of you should kneel down on bended knee and thank me for doing whatever it is that I do to lure all the mosquitos in the states into a 1-mile radius of my body. These suckers are so mean, the bites they administer leave scars. I'm a pockmarked mess from my knees down, simply because of mosquito bites. John tried to be helpful by suggesting that maybe it wasn't just the mosquitos leaving the scar, but the West Nile virus they were carrying. Not helpful.
Along with being pockmarked and itchy (and possibly diseased with West Nile virus), I also find myself in the middle of a Post-It (TM) note connundrum. When I started collecting gobs and gobs of dissertation-related paperwork, I decided to color-coordinate it. (AM A HUGE DORK.) I used these turquoise Post-It (TM) notes to designate dissertation research folders and then, apparently, went on a turquoise Post-It (TM) spree, wasting countless numbers of them on notes like, I don't know, "buy milk" and "take a shower." The result is that now I'm out of said Post-Its (TM) and the only way to buy more is to buy a pack of 8, wherein only 1 is the correct color.
I try not to get political here, because it's only going to alienate people, but I have to make one observation. Not only does Sarah Pallin frighten me and give me a headache, I suspect she also scares John McCain a little. Have you seen the two of them together, when she's talking? It's comical, really. She does this jabbing point gesture with her right hand and each time she does it, McCain jumps a little. I can picture him taking her aside and saying, "Sarah, you're fabulous, but can you stop with the finger jabbing?"
