amusement...

i am kind of amused that since my sister had her baby, while she obviously has not had time to post, everyone else except matter eater lad has just stopped dead posting... all the people in our fam that is... just thought that was odd...

on a related note, my niece is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! i keep going on my sister's flickr account and checking for pistures, which are of course not appearing fast enough, but since that couldn't possibly happen, i have no one to blame but myself and my own damn impatience...

avoid any and all yellow snow...

so, the salt or whatever that my university puts down in the parking lots and sidewalks somehow turns snow yellow... that is just gross...

weird things

many weird things tend to happen in the beginning of a new semester before you get into a routine... but in the last 24 hours i have seen/experienced two of the weirder ones i have ever heard of, though one might seem quite mundane... i was getting ready to go to bed last night when there was a small knock on my door, which means it is my RA wanting something... i open the door and she looks at me sheepishly and says what she is about to ask will seem random and strange but she had to ask every girl in fairness... then she asked me if i had brought back a cat to my apartment when i came back from the holidays... a CAT of all things... then today when i was getting ripped off for $200 on a single computer program (bitter much?), i was in line and looking at some of the still half empty shelves, one of which contained what looked like jelly beans... i looked closer and discovered that they were called "Sports Beans" which is weird in and of itself, but i looked at the description of said product and discovered that they were fluorescent colored energy jelly beans for use when exercising or doing sports... and these two bunches of jelly beans were the only thing on the one rack... very strange...
