Have you seen this? I have been laughing so hard I cried for the last half hour. Things like graffiti angrily proclaiming “All bow for SATIN,” a chewed-up puppy training book (sorry to say that Clementine’s already done that), and signs that say, “Stop disease in its tracks: Wash your hands after touching Christians.”

Also, Dinosaur Comics today is about hapax legomenon! AWESOME choice, Ryan North. My life is officially complete now.

Things I have done so far this spring break:
1) Not run at all or exercised in other ways.
2) Baked and eaten many cookies and bread.
3) Made the most amazing bacon cheeseburgers with Luke. (Homemade rolls! Thick-sliced bacon! Gouda cheese!)
4) Discovered hamentaschen, and eaten many of them.
5) Found out that my cholesterol is a little high (whoops).
6) Read two books (class-related) and several articles!
7) Not read the other 7 on my list. I still have, like, 4 days, right?
8 ) Made 2/3 of a hat for my dad’s birthday…which was the 9th.
9) Ripped it out because it was too small and restarted it.
10) Resolved to go to bed earlier.
11) Gone to bed, in fact, much later.
12) Found out that the dog doesn’t need another surgery! So that’s a good thing.
Well, two steps forward, one step back, I guess.
Also, yesterday I found a very small (size 0-1) double pointed knitting needle in my bag. It was also somewhat shorter than a typical knitting needle. I stared at it for about 15 seconds, trying to reconstruct the circumstances in which I’d acquired this needle and wondering where I had put the rest of the set. Then I realized that it was a toothpick.
