I signed up to volunteer for Junior Achievement in a 7th grade classroom. Our orientation luncheon is tomorrow and I’m already thinking this is a bad idea. I’m supposed to impart Personal Development Skills which I’ve taken to mean “it’s important to set goals for yourselves so you have a reason not to smoke meth so you don’t blow up your house or get busted by...
I was productive yesterday
Laundry, grocery shopping, a few hours at the Y, dinner cooked and several chapters read.
Time to go be irresponsible in Bloomington! Bagels and coffee and Bfoods oh my! (and window shopping, square-strolling, Mo’Bears)

7pm
I have to be at work at 6am the next day and I’m going. I really don’t want to be the lonely kid who goes to the movie theater by herself.

“The fact that body fat’s distribution is quite important for your health has been known for some time now,” said lead researcher Konstantinos Manolopoulos of the University of Oxford in England. But...
Out of touch

“Is she Persian or something?”

Rama’s response? “Unfortunately, there are a lot of parallels.”
Just saw Avatar
And I feel like doing a “Simpsons did it!” except with Stargate.
The movie also sent Rama off on a fiery property rights rant. Libertarians…can’t take ‘em anywhere.
“Do you watch L.A. Ink? Is L.A. in Las Vegas?”

I don’t have pink eye. I do have scratches on my cornea.
Sorry I cursed you, germy-work-kids.

(Thanks, germy kids at work)
