"The small group of monks who had taken up hanging around the major research institutes singing strange chants to the effect that the Universe was only a figment of its imagination were eventually given a street theater grant and went away."

--Douglas Adams, LIFE, The UNIVERSE and EVERYTHING

so, where's my street theater grant?

a long serious of bad hair days is beginning to have a serious effect on my self image . . .

but there is truly nothing like having people agree to write letters of reccomendation for you to make a girl feel special. :)

I finished reading "Exceptional Learners" today for work. That's been a depressing textbook let me assure you. Then as the final cruelty the second to the last chapter is on gifted learners, after spending hunreds of pages discussing students with cerbal palsey, mental retardation, etc.

Cruel, cruel world

But atleast  Douglas Adams is as perfectly entertaining as can reasonably be expected.

I rescued a ladybug (pale orange yellow, like an unripe tomato) from my dungeon cell this morning.

They're going to have to pad the walls soon.

I want out. I want to experience. I want new knowledge.

I'm tired of seeing through the smoky glass I want to see the world first hand. I want to go find it, to go look for America, and the whole rest of it.  

I've taken to drinking from drinking fountains. I'm not sure what that means.

I'm slowly figuring out just how much of the "cheese" powder to mix into EasyMac.

Frustration that no one is ever online when I am.

And a feeling of unease that will not be lifted until 5:30pm

to have recieved a phone call from Thailand and to have missed it when one was expecting it and in a way waiting for it.

sigh.

So, how goes it universe? Hope you had a good weekend, of course, I suppose you don't really get that off. . .
 
my summer is working out to be so much better than i thought it would be. :D
 
This weekend I burned my feet on the scorching sand and swam across a lagoon. all, in all, I'm pleased with it. [assuming Greg forgives me][and even if I did nearly get taken out by a volleyball, a lifeguard, and a parsoler]

a thought: where did the concept of plastic plants first originate and more importantly, why?

"The Secret Window" with Johnny Depp (who I greatly love) is a completely goosebumpily, creepy movie.
