Subtract Kermit the Frog from Dr. Strangelove's voice and you have my India teacher's voice. Put that voice inside the Wolfman's body, add inch thick Harry Potter glasses, a salmon button-down shirt, and lots of gestures such as wiggling shoulders and head, and you have him.

If my calculations are correct, I have 3.6 days worth of music on my computer.

hiccough:

an involuntary spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm followed by a sharp intake of air, which is abruptly stopped by a sudden, involuntary closing of the glottis (opening between the vocal cords); the consequent blocking of air produces a repeated characteristic sharp sound, or hic. It is believed that hiccup is caused by stimulation of the nerve pathways or centers that control the muscles of respiration, particularly the diaphragm. In most instances hiccups are transient, although their course may sometimes be shortened by such measures as holding the breath, deep regular breathing, or rebreathing into a paper bag to increase the carbon dioxide content of the body. However, persistent hiccups may last for weeks, months, or even years.

Today was the end of a grand week in Marin:

Friday I got to go to Robin's track meet but missed Thursday's because of rain. Lotsa relaxing. Got another hep a shot. QAF unfortunately, several nights ach. Checked out some boring art deco with Sally. Went to a pretty decent lecture on bipedalism with Danielle Sally and Elliot--Hughes didn't show though! Afterwards split ice cream at Ghirardellis. Hike up at the water district, saw turkeys gobble-gobble-gobbling in sync. Played some quick tag. Hit up Davis Friday night, In-N-Out. Saturday, accidentally skipped the Unicorns concert, but that's ok because everyone played Tripoly instead, which I enjoyed. Grandparents et al over for scrumdidleumptious quiche and salata. Frisbee Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Burritos with the Jr Fongs and Mom at Phoenix lake before plane up to Bellingham, which got to Seattle early so I had more time to kill in the SeaTac airport.

Managed to spill ginger ale all over my desk.

Awesome beach day: built sandcastles, played koosh scoops and keep away, ran around, got sandy, carried Sally around.

Tonight played Catchphrase with the Hughes family. My nickname "The Judge" re-emerged.

Yay back to Marin!

Just got a nice phone apology from the County Registrar of Voters. Apparently they accidentally didn't put me as a permanent absentee voter.

I just found a French jazz station. ;D Must be Canadian.

Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Set upon by rabid CCF-ers!!
They asked me if I could ever be convinced of God's existence. I basically said "He's got no hope in Hell of convincing me, save perhaps a true world-wide miracle, or me getting amnesia and being indoctrinated." (Well I added that last bit.) The lead girl said she'd pray for me. I told her not to waste her time. She didn't like that.

This morning I watched a documentary on Siberian tigers. One tiger got hit by a logging truck, and her mate dragged her off the road and as far as he could into the forest, then sat with her for 3 days and nights before finally giving up hope of her being alive. I almost cried.

Oh no! I am discovering that I don't actually hate Freud--in some areas I even agree with him. God forbid!

I hate insomnia.

Winter concert was tonight, and I thought it sounded pretty good. Since there were only originally 3 bands playing and then one didn't play, it was a very short concert. But nevertheless fun.

Someone knocked on my door, and, assuming it was one of the girls, I told them to come in though I was only wearing a bra. Turned out to be a strange male. What are the odds. So I went and played ultimate frisbee with him and a bunch of other people. Haven't worked out that hard in a long time--plenty of running. Managed to break only one nail yay!

Cody and I lofted our beds today! I've discovered how dark it is up near the ceiling.

HERmiONEmalfOY (6:22:16 PM): it is sad that I am not doing anything as far as media is concerned when I have such fun with it
Becotopia (6:22:40 PM): awww
Becotopia (6:22:43 PM): me too
Becotopia (6:22:59 PM): let's go to film-making school
HERmiONEmalfOY (6:25:48 PM): dude, we would so not make it in the cut-throat industry
HERmiONEmalfOY (6:26:00 PM): I think we should make indie films over the summer
Becotopia (6:26:00 PM): lol
Becotopia (6:26:04 PM): yes
Becotopia (6:26:08 PM): goodfun
HERmiONEmalfOY (6:26:10 PM): Be like, "We are creative genuises, let's make movies"

Phew! Written warning.

Ugh, I went to Haggen for the express purpose of buying cereal, and then forgot to buy cereal.

White rabbit!

Mailed my ballot. Probably won't get there on time, but I won't know, so I shall be comforted with the hope.
