Three’s a crowd
CNN’s numbers state that 61 percent of voters in the South Carolina Democratic primary were women. 55 percent of all voters cast their ballot for Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton received only 27 percent of the vote. And where did Southern man John Edwards finish? 18 percent. Not a good sign for a continued push for the presidency. Maybe he can be the vice-presidential candidate. Again.

Lost, now found
By the amazing grace of ABC, I will be found this Thursday night when “Lost” airs again. Finally! I usually don’t watch much T.V., in fact I don’t even own one, but I love this show. It’s very well written with so many different themes and story lines, you never really get bored. The only problem is, like I said, I don’t have a T.V. Anybody want to invite me over Thursday?

It’s better homemade
I decided on the spur of the moment last week that I wanted to make granola — from scratch. Four cups of oats, some brown sugar, cinnamon and honey spent 45 minutes in the oven and became one of the more delicious snacks I’ve ever put in my mouth. The addition of dried blueberries only improved matters. The best part? Eating it warm from the oven.

Yellow snow
The most interesting thing about winter, to me, is the amount of yellow snow that can be seen along sidewalks, especially on Greek Row. I just keep hoping that it is the result of local dogs and not the residents of the fraternities. We’re too old for that kind of thing now, right?

McDiplomas
The British government recently gave companies the right to award credit toward a high school diploma to employees who complete on-the-job training. And it’s not just British companies: U.S. owned McDonald’s is one of the first in line. Myriad jokes aside, it seems like a pretty good idea, especially considering the lack of practical skills presented to non-college-bound students in the U.S.

I’ve been misery’n
The only good thing about being sick, and I do mean the ONLY thing, is being able to sing Janis Joplin songs with freakish accuracy. It makes me feel closer to the woman I owe my musical life to, even if I do sound like I’ve been chain smoking for 12 years.

Staring into space
I was trying to figure out what was wrong with my eye the other day by looking up my symptoms on WebMD. When I clicked on the eye I was surprised at the amount of symptoms there were. The most intriguing is blank stare. I clicked on it and apparently one of the causes of this is Botox. So if you are wondering why you have a horrible looking blank stare, it might be that Botox injection.

Ice, ice, baby
Aside from the snow and the layers of ice lurking beneath the freshly laid blanket of snow, there’s one thing that has been bugging me: the walls of snow accumulating in the middle of Moscow’s roads. I don’t see how, but the snowplows seem to miss it every time. In order to cross an intersection, cars have to plow through the one to two foot tall wall of snow left behind. So I ask the magic snowplow elves: when you venture out to clear the road, could you clear the whole thing? Thank you.
