(I bet that three people at most have a clue what I was just talking about, and at least one of then was Jen. Shall I bust out a reference to tick, tick... BOOM! and call it a day? Well, EJ can't decide. Zing!)
* Registering for class. Yup, I'm going back to school. For real this time. Well, sort of for real. It's kind of messy. Let's just say I'll be in class in three weeks. And that, if all goes according to plan, I'll be a third of the way done with my masters in history by the time I actually become a candidate for the degree. In the meanwhile, should you have questions about post-colonial sub-Saharan Africa in the Atlantic context, I can hook you up.
* My yen for lefty protests pretty much died when I left the People's Republic of Ann Arbor for college, but I'm pretty sure that attending a rally to save Darfur wearing my "Give me your thirsty, your drunk, your befuddled masses" kickball t-shirt was the nail in the coffin containing my youthful idealism.
* Going back to school means finishing up fun reading for a while, so there's been a lot of that:
* Realizing with great horror that Rachael Ray and I have the exact same haircut. Since I despise Rachael Ray and actively wish her pain, this is completely unacceptable. Look, if you're going to call it "EVOO" instead of "Extra-Virgin Olive Oil" and then every time you use it say "And now time for some Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, or 'EVOO' for short!" THEN IT'S NOT REALLY SHORTER TO SAY "EVOO," IS IT, YOU ROTTEN WHORE?
AND HOW COME YOU'RE SO DAMN PERKY? AND STOP PUTTING MAYO ON EVERYTHING.
My hatred for Rachael Ray really deserves its own post. For now, suffice it to say that I cannot, will not, share her slightly overgrown bangs and shoulder-length layers.

...what has Rachael Ray done to you?
Congrats on going back to school. I am sure you will be glad you did!!
And I love the animosity for Rachel Ray..girlfriend tell me how you really feel.
Hey you free friday after work-come to my bday HH at continental-shoot me an email if you're interested!
I-66: Isn't constantly saying "EVOO" enough to warrant such hatred?
Sharky: I'm there!
I don't know about that, but I'm definitely making sure not to use it in your presence...
Continental i block from Rosslyn metro!
I hope to see you!!!
I, too hate the "EVOO" thing, but I like the girl. I don't know why. But I do.
BTW, how was Prep?
Marci- Prep was... hard to read. Well-written, but the protagonist was uncomfortably familiar and not often very likeable. Definitely worth reading, though.
I like Rachel Ray's food, but find it much easier to watch her on 'mute'
Well, you may have her hair, but Thank God that you do not have her fashion sense too! I have yet to see you prance around everyday in perkily bright long sleeved leotards tucked into jeans. Yuck! She makes my skin crawl.
Sweet! How can you pass that up?!
Aww I loved Prep!
