08/17/00: Several things (you'll read this if you really love me)...

Posted By: Eamon_J_Doyle


Now that I've got your attention...

1. Since I can't find any posts about this week's Onion, may I recommend the following...?

- Don't miss this. Arguably one of the funniest pieces this year.

www.theonion.com/onion3628/ask_restaurant_critic.html

- Also funny.

I really shouldn't be recommending this. Just make sure no one's around when you're reading it.

See above.

This reminds me of the kind of meetings we have at my school.

Also funny.

2. Well, I'm back from my pre-school getaway/school cleaning. We found these really cool old cave-type things in the Marin Headlands. The weather and food were also really good, and the scenery was amazing. We had a "diversity workshop" (which I'll probably get into in another post); I found out one of my favorite teachers likes Ben Folds Five; we saw several raccoons, skunks, and deer (for some reason, the raccoons terrified a lot of people); I got 58 points on one word ("whiz") in Scrabble (which I was playing solo); and so on. More later (possibly). Then we went back to do maintenance on the new school site (because the school moved this year). I scraped lots of crud off the walls and ceiling of a future office.

3. Why the hell does Pseudonym have 40% (at least check) of the vote? Even a lone ballot-stuffer can't be THAT bored.

4. Nelly and Janet Jackson took over the #1 album and #1 single spots (respectively) this week. Whatever.

5. What's the worst song on the radio right now (and I mean something in constant rotation)?
