3:05 pm	Worn out and weary Whose idea was it for me to go to law school anyway? I'm going to find that person and kick their ass. =) Last week our big Appelate Brief was due. We've had the project for 6 weeks, did oral arguments on it, etc. It doesn't matter how much work you do up front, the week it is due is always the worst. In addition to the paper being due, the office manager at work put in his one week notice. I was asked to take over his responsibilities and had to be trained last week. I ended up working the maximum hours that I am allowed to work in a week while being in school, something that hasn't happened since school started. Before we got the brief assigned, I had barely managed to balance the reading and outlining for my five classes.  The brief made it significantly harder to stay caught up. Last week, I finally fell behind. I ended up skipping two of my classes (one because I was working on the paper and was too inspired to stop for class and another because I hadn't had time to read and didn't feel like getting called on when I had no idea what we were discussing).  I ended up one lesson behind in the reading in each of my classes (two in Constitutional law because the professor threw in an extra one this week). Today I am trying to catch up and it is slow going. I can't wait for summer. Final exams are only three weeks away. While I'm glad the semester is almost over I feel like I don't have enough time to learn everything.   I'm tired.  *sigh* back to work. Current Mood: tired (Comment on this)

3:12 pm	School, Christmas, New Years, and More School Well I finished my first semester of law school. Glad to have a month off. I spent Christmas with Brian's family in Phoenix. It was a lot of fun. Brian's family was very sweet. It turned out that I was deathly allergic to his brother's dog so they did their best to keep him away from me and I used my inhaler several times and together we prevented my death. Brian's mom cooked fabulous meals. We played games and went on bike rides and I got to see cacti in person for the first time ever. I've never been to Arizona. We went up to Sedona so I could see the pretty mountains and enjoy the woozy feeling that results from combining asthma medicine and high elevations. New Years took place at a friend's apartment. We played beer pong (I'm not very good) and flippy cup (I rock). Unfortunately, I overdid it (moi?) and ended up crashing in the bedroom sometime after 1 am.   I woke up at 5 am to the party just winding down and drove Brian (who had also crashed next to me at some point) and I home. It was a fun party. I've enjoyed the vacation from school. So far I've learned that the hardest part about law school is the financial aid department. At the beginning of the semester, they sent my checks to a house I haven't lived in for seven years. Ultimately, the lady who now lives there saved them and gave them to my mom to give to me. She had received three checks because the department could not get my address right no matter what I did.  Now, I've received an email from the financial aid department telling me I did not meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements for my first semester.  I needed a GPA of at least 2.00 and they're saying I didn't get it.  When they sent this email, only two of the four classes I took had posted the grades. Those two gave me a B+ average. Either they determined my academic standing based on half of my grades, or I got D's in both the other classes. I emailed the department to kindly point this out and ask for clarification on whether I truly did bomb my other two classes or if they just used incorrect numbers. We'll see how that turns out. I really hope I didn't bomb. I don't feel like I did, but it's so unsettling to get emails like that and not know what's going on. That's about all I've got for an update. I've been trying to make the most of my vacation. I have a lot of books I want to read, shows I want to watch and stitches I want to cross (got a new cross-stitch pattern for Christmas).  I'm still trying to find a way to do all three at once. Current Mood: hopeful (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:34 pm	Soup du Jour I just got stuck between some old rich white people at  the Subway at school. The guy in front of me ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich with no roll. Then he inquired about the soup of the day.  The lady behind me asked if the tea was freshly brewed. It's a fountain drink. The tea is in a big plastic bag connected by a tube to the dispenser.  They were both using oversized old school blackberries and commenting on how they couldn't get the emails to work properly.  I would have found the whole experience amusing if I didn't have to wait on Old Dude to order his salad (aka sandwich with no roll) and nitpick over the number of olives and fret over which dressing best complimented his roll-less sandwich and then "lose" his receipt which the cashier handed him and then demand that she hand over his receipt (which she did by pointing out that it was in his hand). Note to self: next time, get Chinese food. (Comment on this)

5:13 pm	Perchance to dream I had kind of a depressing dream last night. I dreamt a friend of mine sat me down and said to me, "Erin, you're a sweetheart, but here's all the reasons no one will want to be with you." and then he proceeded to list the reasons. I guess it's a good thing that I only remember two of the many reasons he listed: 1. "You're insanely and obsessively jealous."  - I disagree with that completely. I think I'm pretty laid back and don't know that I ever really get jealous. 2. "You have a sweet tooth."  - What does that have to do with anything?!  Speaking of sweet tooth, I got two bags of candy for my birthday. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten a bunch of it before going to bed. Anyway, it was a bizarre dream. I wish my dream self had argued her points instead of just sitting there listening. Oh well. Ok, I really gotta finish a paper.  I think I tend to blog when I should be doing other, more productive things. Current Mood: procrastinating (6 Comments |Comment on this)

5:17 pm	To Click or Not To Click I walked in to work today and this is what happened. Boss:  My computer says it has a virus. Me: Ok, let me look at it.  (it's one of those viruses that has anti-virus pop-ups come up)        Yep, this is a virus.  Don't click on these pop-ups, they are from the virus itself. Boss: Ok Me: (runs the Malwarebytes program to get rid of it)  Just let me know when this is done running and I'll come take it through the next step. Boss: OK 2 minutes later Boss: Ok it's done and I clicked on the next step but it's doing something weird. Me: ...it takes longer than 2 minutes. Did you click on the pop-ups?  Boss:  Yes.  Me: Don't click on those.  Those are bad.  (proceeds to try to explain the difference between the "good" anti-virus program and the "bad" anti-virus pop-ups.)   Ok, I'm going to run it again, don't click on anything, just let me know when it's done. 5 minutes later Boss:  Ok, This time I clicked on what you told me to but it all went away. Me: (looks at the screen)  Um....you closed the program.  (I'm pretty sure that a pop-up window opened and in response, he closed every window on the screen including the program I was running).   Boss: Oh. Well run it again and I won't click on anything. Me: Ok 5-10 minutes later. Boss: Ok, it finished and I clicked on something and it's being weird again. Me: You said you wouldn't click anything! He had clicked on the virus pop-up again. Boss: Ok, well I'm going home. I finally got his computer fixed after he went home. I should have taken his mouse away and let the program run. Ok, I gotta get back to writing a paper now. Current Mood: confounded (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:33 pm	Birthday fun So Friday was my 27th birthday. I don't feel any different than I did at 26, although I do feel different than I did at 20.  I celebrated by having friends hang out at my favorite bar.  I should have remembered the teachings of my friend, Les, from a couple of birthdays ago. He forbade me from doing shots and made me keep track of how many drinks I had by putting tally marks on my hand.  This year I did no such thing, had way too many shots and ended up throwing most of them back up behind some dumpsters (I believe they were dumpsters, I never really looked up to see).  Luckily, I have awesome friends who were willing to hold me upright and help me home after they got me completely smashed (I obviously was not driving).   The hangover the next day made me feel old. I'm done with shots for a while. Today I had lunch with the family and did the gift opening thing. I pretty much got food, money, and giftcards for food.  I'm not complaining. I'll probably eat better than I have since school started. Brian got me Guitar Hero 5 and a media card for my cell phone.  GH5 is a lot of fun. I just have to make sure I get all my studying done before playing it though. Stupid responsibility. Takes away from my fun havings. Brian and I are going to Austin next weekend. I'm really looking forward to that. Overall it was a good birthday. Current Mood: happy (Comment on this)

12:28 pm	A day in the life of Erin That should say a weekday in the life of Erin, actually. Wake Up / Get Dressed / Eat Breakfast Go to school and READ FOR HOURS Go to class Go to work for about an hour and a half Go home and READ FOR HOURS Sleep That's about it. Surprisingly, I'm actually enjoying it. The weekends help keep me sane. I still study on weekends but not so excessively. Last week, everyone at school was sick. It got annoying listening to the coughing and sniffling. It never quite reached the stage of becoming white noise and it was a constant distraction.  One girl who sat next to me kept coughing loudly and I think she purposefully did it when the professor was talking about something I was interested in.  She also offered me some raisins with her spittle-soaked hands.  Blech! Not a very interesting post, I know but I don't have much else to report. Current Mood: nerdy (Comment on this)

5:48 pm	A haiku about parking at UH Parking there is none My feet hurt and my back aches Where is my building? My morning class was canceled today so I decided to stay home and study this morning. This was what we in the business like to call a bad idea.  I forgot how horrendous parking is at UH, especially the first week of classes which everyone actually attends. Long, boring story short, the traffic directors for UH parking informed some of us that all of the lots were full. I ended up parking at TSU. That's right, I parked at a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT UNIVERSITY which was nice enough to open one of its outlying lots to UH students.  The TSU lot was a couple blocks past the UH stadium.  This is not even remotely close to the law center. I walked what felt like a mile to the law center, during the hottest part of the day, with 12 pounds of books on my back. Ok, I just mapquested it and the distance was 1.39 miles, but that's using the streets. I cut across campus so we'll call it a mile. By the time I got to class I was quite sweaty and gross. I also had blisters on my feet (which I don't understand because I walked all over New Orleans in those shoes a couple weeks ago and I was fine). I didn't really have time to grab lunch when I got there either. Then of course I had to make the trek back because I couldn't find someone willing to give up their parking spot to give me a ride to my car and no one was leaving. Also, the UH shuttles were nowhere to be found (until I was 90% of the way back to my car, and then I saw one). I knew UH parking was bad but I've never heard of them having to use lots at other schools. I thought they should open all the gated faculty lots that were mostly empty. That would have been nice. I think I lost half a pound today just from trekking across campus. UH! If it doesn't make you smarter, it will at least make you thinner. Current Mood: busy (Comment on this)

10:44 am	Debt free....for a little while anyway As I just announced on my facebook page, my credit cards are now paid off. It has been quite an experience getting in to and out of what I think is a ridiculous amount of credit card debt.  I've spent the last two years trying to get my cards paid off. I cut down expenses and threw every extra dollar from my paychecks at the credit cards (with the occassional treat for myself to prevent insanity).  I've been trying to get them paid off before starting school but I wasn't quite able to make it.  I got 90% of the debt paid off and luckily my  awesome mother was able to loan me the money to pay off the last 10% (I could have done it if the A/C in my card hadn't broken). Now I still need to repay her but her interest rates are much better and she won't penalize me if I miss a payment.  The funny thing is I'm about to start law school. I've taken out student loans to pay for it. I'm basically only going to be out of debt for a week. The loans will take effect next week and I'll be back to being in debt again. I do time things perfectly if I say so myself.  Student loan debt seems like a piece of cake after dealing with credit cards though.  I've never really been big on the idea of credit. I tend to think that if you can't afford to just buy something, then you shouldn't.  It kind of makes one wonder how I ended up in that financial situation then, but that's another story I don't feel like getting in to.  I know people have to finance houses and vehicles and whatnot, but when it comes to the fun items like TVs, stereos, and new outfits, save your money and then buy something when you can pay for it. I have my parents to thank for that attitude.  They gave me an allowance when I was a kid and I was taught to save up for the things I wanted (the fun things, obviously they still paid for the necessities). I also had to learn about sales tax the hard way after saving up exactly $30 dollars for something and then learning that it cost $32.48.  I thought the cashier was trying to rip me off, but I digress.  I do not like being in debt.  That may seem odd considering my almost constant state of being in debt.  I would like to keep a couple of my credit cards active for emergencies only. I am well aware that shit happens and emergencies happen that require money that you may not have on hand. Here's hoping that shit doesn't happen to me for a while. Now I think it's time for some celebratory ice cream. Current Mood: jubilant (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:21 pm	The top of my lap One of the requirements for attending UH law is to have a laptop. I bought mine last week. This is the first laptop I have ever owned. After getting it I realized I would need to get MS Office so that I can properly format my papers/assignments.  I don't have MS of any kind on my desktop at home so I don't just have a copy sitting around. Luckily as a student at UH, I can get a copy of MS Office for $15.  Unfortunately, I don't get my student ID until the day before I need the software and then I would be hard pressed to get to the UH store in time as they close at the same time that orientation that day ends.  Brilliant! I guess I'm the first law school student who had to buy a laptop specifically for law school. I don't really want to pay full price for a program I am entitled to get at a ridiculous discount. Luckily I was able to take an extra copy from work.  Now I'm sitting at a local corporately owned coffee shop trying to ensure the wireless internet features all work on my laptop. I had planned on reviewing the reading materials and prompts for the writing assessment essay I will have to write at orientation but it turns out I need Adobe Reader and a plugin to open MS Word '03 documents (I have '07).  I had forgotten how many programs I use and take for granted on a daily basis. Now I have to make sure I have all of them so that I can take care of everything.  Unfortunately the internet connection at this location is tenuous (probably because I refused to pay for it and am leeching off another restaurant further away) and the download time for Adobe keeps increasing.  Since my attempts at productivity and preparedness have failed, I am now blogging and griping about various things.  Ah well. On a happier note, I went to New Orleans with Brian this weekend. I had a lot of fun. Our hotel was a couple blocks from Bourbon street. We wandered around town and did the touristy thing. We also drank a lot. At one point Saturday night I decided to drag us all the way across the French Quarter on a quest for something called tater tachos (nachos made with tater tots) which a local we befriended had recommended to us.  I'm horrible at reading maps and after a few wrong turns, we serendipitously stumbled upon the place.  We walked in triumphantly (at least I felt triumphant) and ordered tater tachos only to be told they were sold out.  Worse, they were only sold out by about 5 minutes and we had to watch as the waiter wandered around with the last order because he couldn't remember who ordered them. We tried to claim them but were snubbed.  Basically my brilliant adventure ideas at 1 am after drinking all day are not quite as brilliant as I believe them to be.  We took a cab back to the hotel (Brian's truly brilliant idea) rather than walk however many miles back.  Overall it was a fun trip and I'm glad I got a break before starting school. Ok, now I'm going to return home to use my own internet connection and see if I can't do something productive today.   Current Mood: productive (2 Comments |Comment on this)

8:31 pm	Ow.....Again Today was not a particularly good day. This morning I locked myself out of the office and had to wait for my boss to arrive to let me back in. This somewhat defeated the purpose of getting there early to catch up on things. The day was just plain annoying. I kept running around for my bosses and they had me searching for various things which after I found they told me they didn't really need and then they sent me to look for something else. At the end of the day, on the way home I got rear ended. It was raining just a little so the ground was nice and slick.  The car in front of me slammed on their brakes for some reason. I slammed on my brakes and then watched in the rearview mirror as the lady behind me slammed on her brakes but still hit me.  There was no damage to the vehicles other than two little scratches in the paint on my car where the screws on her license plate hit. I got some minor whiplash which surprised me considering it wasn't really that hard a hit.  So now my neck is sore and I have a headache.  It was an appropriate end to an irritating day.  Hopefully tomorrow will be better. At least it's a short week.  I'll try to post something next time that doesn't involve me getting injured. Current Mood: blah (Comment on this)

8:09 pm	The trick to flying is to throw yourself at the ground and miss.... unfortunately I seem to have a pretty good aim. So I recently started rollerblading again. Bought some new skates last month and took them out for a ten-mile skate with Brian (he was on his bike).  After the blisters from that excursion healed I decided to go out again. Sunday afternoon I went by the Braes Bayou trail and skated for about five miles. I did well for 99% of it. I was almost back to my car when I tripped over a particularly protrusive (real word? don't know) piece of the curb, going from the sidewalk to the street. I tried to keep my balance but my skates went sideways out from under me and I slammed into the concrete. I kind of wish someone had been video taping it so I could see what kind of Oh Shit! look I had on my face. The car key in one hand and the gatorade bottle in my other hand both went flying in different directions as I fell. My knee is scraped up, my thigh has a big red scrape/bruise thing on it and my wrist/lower arm hurts when I put any kind of pressure on it. I had another unfortunate trip this weekend when Brian and I took a trip to the movies to see Year One. I still haven't decided which was more painful. Cleaning the rollerblading wounds at home was of course a lot of fun. I found that yelling obscenities as I washed my knee off made it hurt less. I wonder if that would have worked during the movie too. So law school starts in two months. I'm starting to feel it approaching and it's making me a wee bit nervous. Something new! What if I'm not good at it? What if I fall flat on my face there too?  It's just the usual jitters I get before starting something new. I'm sure I'll be fine. I still have the to have the "first day of class and can't find anything and I'm walking in slow motion and dressed in my high school gym uniform" dream like I always do before starting at a new school or a new job. Now I'm off to go read or something. Adios. Current Mood: sore (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:15 am	Tidbits Time for some updates on life and whatnot. Been working mostly and trying to get student loan stuff worked out for law school. I will not be living on campus as it turns out. The prices they gave me turned out to cost about the same as staying where I am now, but I would have less space and I would be living on UH campus. I decided to keep my current apartment. I started exercising regularly.  I managed to exercise every day through the entire month of April. May has been not quite as productive in terms of exercise. This is partly due to the fact that I started dating someone at the end of April and I hate to interrupt a perfectly good afternoon with him to go do yoga or whatever. It's also partly due to a persistent head cold which made me not want to move around that much. I still have a bit of a cough that I can't shake. I'm still working out about 4-5 times a week though. I've been trying to cook for myself more often. I've never really been a great cook and I've always relied on tv dinners and whatnot. The challenge of teaching myself to cook is not helped by the fact that the oven in my apartment is from 1978 and the only temperatures it has are 200, 400 and 500 degrees. There is no in between. Therefore, if something is supposed to be cooked at 325 degrees, I have to decide whether to cook it hotter for less time or cooler for more time. Also, I tend to do stupid stuff like overfill the pot of water when I'm making ravioli so it boils over. Basically, it's been an adventure, but the smoke alarm has not been set off yet and no one has gotten food poisoning so I think I'm doing well. Also been playing Rock Band a lot. Especially the drums. I'm starting to develop delusions of grandeur and I think that I could play the actual drums and not be half bad. I realize playing around on a Guitar Hero controller is nothing like playing a guitar, but banging on some fake drums can't be that different from banging on real drums, can it? I just finished reading Rant by Chuck Palahniuk. I highly recommend it. Other books I've read recently that I recommend include: Getting Stoned with Savages - Maarten Troost Hot Zone - Richard Preston Me Talk Pretty One Day - David Sedaris Eyre Affair - Jasper Fforde (and really the rest of the Thursday Next series too, I'm currently re-reading it.) Ok. That's all I got. Now I'm off to find something to occupy the rest of my day at work. Current Mood: happy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:12 pm	Giant Spider Zombies So I keep running out of things to do at work and find myself surfing the internet a lot. This entire week has been particularly slow and my usual websites are not even holding my attention any longer. Today I branched out and ended up at National Geographic's website. One of the articles on the home page was entitled "Spiders Getting Bigger - Global Warming to Blame?"  This piqued my interest so I took a gander. As it turns out, the spiders are getting bigger. It's not a direct effect of global warming of course (they're not like those hot dogs that plump when you cook them), but it's interesting nonetheless.  As I was reading this article, one of the links that they provided to articles on related topics said "Spider 'Resurrections' Take Scientists by Surprise."   Basically the world is going to be overrun by giant spiders that can't die.  Current Mood: arachnophobic (2 Comments |Comment on this)

8:14 pm	Good times, bad times This is similar to Good Idea/Bad Idea from Animaniacs (at least I think it was Animaniacs). Good Times - sitting inside with a book in a cozy chair, reading and listening to the rain Bad Times - lying in bed listening to the neighbors car alarm because it is so sensitive that the rain hitting the car sets it off. This is then interrupted by a loud crack of thunder which sets of all the car alarms. Finally the car alarms stop....except for the one....which keeps chirping and beeping sporadically throughout the night. ... ... I am tired. Current Mood: tired (Comment on this)

1:33 pm	Books, books, and more books So I spent this morning at a book sale. The Friendswood library is hosting a huge book sale at the George R. Brown convention center this weekend. The hardbacks are $2, the paper backs are $1 and some of the nicer quality, newer hardbacks are $4.  My dad told me about it and asked if I wanted to go. He picked me up this morning, we got breakfast and headed over there. I brought a book-bag with me and decided I would not get more books than I could carry. Unfortunately, my dad did not limit himself so and ended up with two full cardboard boxes and a bag of books. Overall, I got 18 books for $35. Not bad. I found one by Hunter S. Thompson that I'm looking forward to reading and of course several from the sci-fi section.   During the drive there and back I was reminded that I do not like riding in the car when my dad drives. Going back to my place, he was going much slower than everyone (slower than the speed limit) and no one would let him move over to exit. Finally, he just switched lanes, cutting someone off who was going much faster than him. They hit the brakes and honked. He flipped them the bird. Now I have been in the car with my dad when he flipped someone the bird and that person got pissed and decided to chase my dad and try to run him off the road. I tend to remember that incident every time my dad flips someone off. I'm glad this person didn't react that way. Plus it was raining and that other person having to slam on the brakes like that in the rain could have ended badly. Anyway,  I just generally don't like the way he drives and next time I think I will offer to drive us. I made it home safe with my haul of books. Current Mood: satisfied (3 Comments |Comment on this)

8:08 am	Miscommunication Apparently "Your internet activation date is April 10"  means "On April 10 you will receive a call telling you that your order is confirmed and your internet will be available April 16."  *sigh*  I am disappointed in you, AT&T. (Comment on this)

8:27 am	Trying for a happier post This last week, I finished turning my apartment into something liveable. I ordered DSL for my apt. but it won't be activated until Friday, at which point I believe they flip a switch to turn it on while I figure out how to install and set up the modem and whatnot. It looks straightforward to set up but we'll see. It's either do it myself or pay $200 bucks to have a "professional" come do it for me. Since I have no internet, I went out and bought a new video game: Guitar Hero Aerosmith. I then proceeded to beat 99% of it in two days. I'm still stuck on the last song. In other words, I am a dork with too much free time. Now it's time for things I've learned about my apartment. These may sound like I'm bitching, but really I think they're kinda funny. The dishwasher doesn't have a silverware basket. Not that it's missing, it doesn't have a place to put one at all. I tried lining the silverware along the top row with the cups but that didn't really work. Now I either wash the silverware by hand or put it in the collander in the dishwasher. My apartment has too many doors. There is the door to my bedroom, behind it is the door from my bedroom to the bathroom and behind it is the door from the bathroom back into the hallway. That's three doors all moving around the same general pole-thing. They each overlap another doorway too so I can't leave them closed and I can't leave them open. I am constantly moving doors out of my way. I looked at them to see if I could somehow tie them together so that if I opened one, the other two would move out of the way. If I did that though, one of them would hit me in the butt, depending on which direction I was going. I can hear every step my upstairs neighbor makes. I don't think he's stomping his feet or anything, I just think that's how the apartment is. I can also hear his bed creak when he sits on it. Therefore, I can tell whenever he gets out of bed throughout the night, which room he walks into, and when he goes back to bed. I also think he falls out of bed a lot (or something) because I have been woken by the loud kathunk of someone/thing hitting the floor upstairs between 1 and 4 am almost every night.  Ok. That post wasn't unhappy, it was just mundane. Current Mood: better (Comment on this)

8:15 am	Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you cry a lot So Michael broke up with me Friday. It sucks. It really sucks. I'm not going to post any break-up details online though. Needless to say, I did not have a good weekend. Friday night I considered drinking until I didn't know who I was, but decided that would ultimately be worse so I didn't. I basically spent the weekend trying to distract myself.  I turned my apartment into more of a home instead of just a place to stay occassionally. I guess all the cleaning kicked up a lot of dust and cat hair because I kept having asthma attacks. I was on asthma medicine all weekend and since I am almost out, will be making an appointment with the doctor to get a refill. Anyway, distractions are good right now so if anyone wants to hang out or just chat on the phone (for you out of towners) give me a call.  Oh, I also don't have any internet in my apartment yet so if I don't respond to messages or emails right away, that's why. Sorry for the not-so-happy post, but it's all I've got right now. Current Mood: depressed (3 Comments |Comment on this)

9:16 am	Traffic This morning was the morning of People Trying to Go Through Intersections Even Though Traffic is so Backed Up  That They Can't Get Through and They End Up Parked in the Intersection. Meanwhile, I was trying to cross and couldn't becaue their fat asses were in my way. I picture the drivers as half-retarded monkeys who shout "GREEN MEANS GO!" whenever the light changes and they floor it, only to have to slam on the brakes two seconds later because of traffic. I was annoyed, not only that I had to sit and wait while these idiots extracted their thumbs from their asses and remembered how to drive, but also because the guy behind me honked at me when I didn't immediately go when the light turned green. Go where? There were cars blocking the way! I swear, I looked in my rearview mirror and it looked like he was saying "GREEN MEANS GO!" and pointing at the light.  This same thing happened at two different intersections on my way to work this morning. On the nicer side though, while I was stuck at the light, I got to watch a little bird try to pick up a twig that was much too big for it and attempt to fly away with it. It was amusing and made me smile. So basically, we need more cute little birds in the world and fewer giant retarded monkeys. (1 Comment |Comment on this)
