Great.

I’m fucking sick. Almost done with this term and I wake up this morning (and multiple times throughout the night) with snot running down my face. And I can’t help but blame my mother since she’s the one who brought the sickness into this house. Curse you vile woman!!

(Well, I guess I can’t be that made at her because she just brought my some toast)

This just sucks because I have a paper to write, plus I don’t want to miss any class time. Because of the whole swine flu frenzy, my teachers have the right to send me home and demand I get better before returning to class. I am about 98% sure it’s not swine flu but still, it’ll be hard to hide my sniffles and dreary-eyed look.

Alright sickness bugs - I want you outta my body by Monday, you hear me?!

On the road again.....

laydown:

My brother moved from Portland, OR to New Orleans a few months ago. He had recently purchased a ‘79 VW camper van before he left, so my dad decided he would drive the bus TO him for Thanksgiving (with a few buddies). My dad - is a 63 year old dude with a ponytail and a grey beard.

Here is an exerpt from a letter my dad wrote about being on the road…..

“… It is different here, I have to give Gus credit for the dramatic change he is experiencing—it is hard to understand them.  I had a lady from Georgia refer to me as a hippy at a gas station— “ya’ll goin to that hippy festival in Georgia?”.  I’ve had other people tell me they “just loved passing you along the way” and wanted to know where we were going and how many Dead concerts we’ve gone to.  It is a unique car down here, lot like driving a model T. One guy at ‘cajun charlies’ last night was totally confused by what it was, but I couldn’t really understand him, so he may have thought we were aliens—which explains all the abduction stories down here.—pop”

I love it.

hahahaha oh dad. I hope people don’t try and steal the van under the notion that it’s full of weed.

Someone we knew from college was on "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant!"

She was an actress for the reinactment, not the actual person who didn’t know she was pregnant. (via Megan)

NO WAY!! I saw this last night with my sister who was showing me that this program (and indeed, these women) exist!  I couldn’t believe it.

marine birds beware.

I almost hit a gull riding my bike home from school today. First of all, there are a shit ton of Canadian geese hanging out around the waterfront. The sea gulls just crowd around the foreign fowl like migratory bird posers. Just looking for trouble. Anyway, I was biking towards this group of gulls who were standing in the middle of the pathway. Rarely do I even have to say “shoo!” before the birds take off; the rapid movement usually gets them going.

This one bird in particular was directly in the way of my front tire. Oh it took off in front of me, but it decided to fly a foot off the ground in the same direction I was heading. I was going pretty fast at this point and found myself screaming at this bird to get out of my way. I attracted a few looks, from man and bird alike.

Do I have to bring up the Costanza agreement?
