Another one’s gone
The Florida primary was last week. Rudy Giuliani’s money sure was well-spent there.
NOT! What a waste. His drop out announcement came two days later and no one was surprised he endorsed McCain. John Edwards beat him to the punch by dropping out the day before but his endorsement is anyone’s guess.

Pretty piece of hide
Last week I had the horrifying and delightful experience of watching “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.” While the back of the box promised me a movie that fit as well as a favored flannel shirt, I was left wondering, “For what decade?” Songs about the appropriateness of kidnapping brides and finding a prospective woman willing to cook for seven very hairy men made me glad that I am a 21st century woman. Very glad indeed.

How long?

When a teacher doesn’t show up on time to class, how long does the class have to wait for them? I gave my drawing teacher 20 minutes, but now I’m hearing that because the class is taught by a graduate student, I only had to wait for five or 10. If she’d been a full professor, I should have waited 10, and if she had tenure, I should have waited 15. What’s true here? Does anybody know for sure?

So pretty
While walking around campus take a look at the amazing icicles on some of the buildings. Whenever I see a particularly awesome one I just have to stop and stare. My favorite is a group of icicles that have dripped on to a tree creating a huge web of icicles all over the tree. It is totally awesome.

Trash be gone
I am the recycling reformer for the Arg office. I can actually tell when people are throwing away a recyclable material just by the clink or woosh it makes when it hits the bottom of the trash can without even looking at it.
For the most part, I have these people trained, but sometimes they’ll slip up and I’ll have to bring the eco-friendly heat. And for those brazen buffoons in the Commons completely disrespecting the recycling bins next to the trash bins…be ready. You’re next.

Mounds of snow
It’s been days since the snowstorm hit and the streets are still horrible.
Can someone explain to me how this hasn’t gotten cleaned up yet?
I lived in Northern Virginia when a blizzard hit about 10 years ago, leaving at least two feet of snow on the roads for about a day — and the roads still weren’t as bad as they are here.
Come on!
— Christina N.


That poor ferret
The other day there was a sticker on my door informing me of a missing ferret. All I can think about is that poor, skinny animal shivering in the snow. The worst part is that the ferret is albino, it’ll never be found in this snow. But if you happen to see one, you let me know.
