8 random observations upon my life...

1. Things seem to be much more harmonious at Xanadu these days. For a week and a half, 40 had gone a-traveling with the Til5 family across many southern states, leaving me to some much needed solitude after an all-too-short summer, including several trips of my own. Since her return, I haven't had any of of those horrible "I miss my friend" pangs I had been having for the past few months. I even succeeded at talking her out of a really BAD idea she had had. [I won't go in to details, but 40 is one headstrong chick. It's a bitch to try to talk 40 out of bad ideas... in the past I have tried and repeatedly failed...]

2. The last two days have been bucketloads of joy. Moreover, I remember why I did not go into manual labor. But my new classroom is all set up and looks great. I'm so excited... I have carpet this year. And a window. I'm so spoiled.

3. I simply cannot allow myself to believe Rafael Palmiero is guilty of steroid abuse. I'm so naive.

4. Roger Clemens is 43 today. FORTY-THREE! That amazes me.

5. I'm really psyched for football season.

6. All of a sudden, a few months ago, I started liking beer again. It's wierd. I've disliked beer for going on close to 8 years. I never really could drink beer after this whole Kegstand Flipside episode I had back when I was silly enough to be in a sorority in college. [Except imagine a name with a a better alliterative effect than Flipside in this particular nickname...)
And then all of a sudden, I liked beer again. I'm such a versatile drinker now. I can drink and enjoy just about anything. Anything but gin. I dislike gin.

7. Still waiting on the snapshot. You won't be disappointed...

8. It's past my bedtime. I have a bedtime again.
