Birthday wishes
I am the worst person about remembering birthdays. So, to all those I forget to say these special words to, this is my public apology. Griff, since today is your day, you get the official public happy quarter of a century.

Two weeks too late
There’s been a record drop of gas prices in the last two weeks (falling more than 35 cents a gallon). That’s dandy. I just wish I hadn’t filled my gas tank up two and a half weeks ago.

Plate of grilled bacon
The Bidens and Clintons gave speeches in Scranton, Penn., on Sunday. It seems like half the time I see Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton on TV, they are in Scranton. Sure, Biden was born there, but it’s not exactly a big city. They must be pandering to fans of “The Office”: ain’t no party like a Scranton party, ‘cuz a Scranton party don’t stop.

Are you ready, boots?
I hate this time of year. Not because I despise blends of precipitation, freezing temps and gale force winds. Not because I’m totally broke, underfed and stressed about school. It’s because you see women bringing out the hideous Ugg boot over the pants look. Ugg boots with straps, buttons, camo and leopard patterns, fluff balls and studs. Makes me wanna upchuck every year.

Not as big as Jesus
Ringo Starr won’t be accepting any fan mail or autograph requests after Monday, saying he “has too much to do.” That implies he’s actually been signing people’s crap himself for the past half-century. That’s thousands upon thousands of autographs. Ringo, you should be given more credit for being such a personable rock star and also for actually being a Beatle.

Enough already
I am tired of analyzing literature. There is only so much to say, and I said it all by about the time my second year was over. I’d love a nice design assignment, or maybe a painting. I think I’m in the wrong classes.

That time of year
Someone please remind me when it is we will be “falling back.” It has to be right around the corner, and it is my favorite time of year. An extra hour of sleep — who can be upset about that? Really, I call it Christmas in October because it’s not just the sleep — for that one night, you get an extra hour at the bar, if that’s your thing. Glorious is my opinion, freaking glorious.

Stupid is as stupid does
I had the pleasure of attending a panel discussion on the role of race and gender in the presidential campaign. What struck me the most was the idea we needed to be careful of how we discussed Sarah Palin because a negative reflection on her could be a negative reflection to all women … as if I needed another reason to hate Palin.

Nearly free
I’ve been diligently avoiding germy things and coughing people for the past two weeks to keep from getting sick, and just when I think I pulled it off, I get slammed with a sinus infection and a fever. I hate being sick.
