suck it trebek

alex trebek is a horrible, horrible man. he's an apparent misogynist who thinks he knows everything. we don't think you do, alex. but we still love the Jeopardy! ...and other things too.

yes we've been away


it's the busy season around here. i have one more week left in summer I (yay for speed reading government) and then i'll get a couple of days off before summer II starts (government and algebra dammit), so who know how few and far between posts will be. bug merritt -- make her post more!

i have a new fascination with joe louis. i saw a documentary about him the other day and now i need to find his autobiography. i think i'm on a biography/documentary kick again, so if anyone has suggestions, let me know (keep in mind i probably won't be able to read for enjoyment til the end august).

i got wii fit the other day, and have mastered hula hooping, but that's about it. i have horrible balance. merritt, on the otherhand, is proof that the lessons from dance class never go away. speaking of which, do i have everyone's wii friend code?

on a more serious note, my dog lucy had surgery earlier this week to remove two mast cell tumors. she seems to be recovering well (though she's not digging the e-collar she has to wear when i'm not looking), and we'll get all of the test results back next week, so please keep your fingers crossed that we'll get good news.

so, there's another badass sale at threadless and i'm shopping online, even though i was at the store a week ago.
(yeah, that's the shirt i'm wearing right now, and you can get it for $12 now dammit) get to it, you know you want new summer shirts.

speaking of which, i'm really not down for the whole summer/sun/heat thing. a week ago i was hanging out in the 40s, and now i'm back to already 100 degree days. craptastic.

the good news is that i got in to UNT, so i'll be enrolling in classes at the dallas campus in the fall after i finish up summer school at el centro. yay me! next winter i will finally get my degree -- it's only been 13 years in the making...

so, what's everyone's summer plans? who wants to go to soccer games with me!
