Today was a lazy day with my puppers and my Gina. (Except for the detour to the vet, where we both learned something new about male dogs.)

There was picnicking, eating of vegetables and dip, catching up of makeup sleep, and, of course, Gina slipping and falling on the floor in the lobby,

Just like old timeses.

I've done it! I've found it! I've found the most random and obscure tribute page on the internet!

I dare you to top that!

The banker never wears a mac in the pouring rain??!!! VERY strange!

Wow, I really have just the gayest* music pop up on random on Pellinore here.

"You can fly you can fly you can fly"--

Why, in Disney's travesty of a Peter Pan (I still love that movie but the book is so much better, the play, and almost any other film version is more faithful), are Peter and John British, and their little brother, Michael, AMERICAN?

Fuckinell.

Now it's Badfinger, "Baby Blue". I fucking love this iPod and I love "shuffle".

*Not an insult. I never use this word derogatorily. Simple description.

Moxy Fruvous are real harmony-meisters. I love that a lot about them.

I love my iPod. Love it, love it, love it. Work is different now. It's better.

It needs a name. I'm thinking Pellinore. Or Wart. Because I'm reading The Once and Future King in attempt to regain my attention span. Has anyone ever read it?

"John Edwards is good looking," I said. I was watching John Kerry accept the nomination on tv a few minutes ago and Kerry had just pointed out Edwards and his family. "He reminds me of someone."

"Who does he remind you of?" my mom asked.

"John Ritter" said my dad and I at the same time.

"YEAH!"

It was awesome.

Having complained, Latin was much more bearable tonight.

And when I got home, MY IPOD WAS WAITING!!!

Since it was a slow day at work, I spent most of the day doing the most menial of data entry tasks, which I will call 9HL's (and not explain because I really do want to avoid getting specific about work on my public blog.)

9HL's are the most dull, mindless things I can do. Usually they are helped by my having a CD player, but today Kirsten was using her CD player (where's my iPod???) so I had to fly solo with this mind-numbing work.

I had a point. What was it?

Oh, yes. I'm at school, about to go into Latin, and it occurs to me that I'd rather be doing 9HL's without music for 9 hours (which I've already DONE today, thank you) than go to this class. Since I decided it was incredibly wrong of me to sneakily do crossword puzzles, I've been forcing myself to try and follow along in class, with the result that I am so muddled and bored that I want to tear bloody clots of hair out. And now it is time to go to class. (I still love my Professor. I just hate this class.)

I honestly do hate my life right now. I'm not exagerrating.

There once was a very fast typist
who got a bad job, god knows why. Pissed
at her boring employment
she derived her enjoyment
from becoming a world-class gripe-ist.

Meter needs work.

I once met a girl who would be bored
so often that she'd sleep at her keyboard.
She awoke with a sore head
from the dents in her forehead,
~~half-choked by the drool-dampened mouse cord.~~ And half-choked by her own USB cord.

The last rhyme is imperfect. Needs a (rhymes with "be") before the "cord". Still.*

*Fixed. My sister suggested a better rhyme.

You don't have to be a six-footer
You don't have to have a big brain
You don't have to have any clothes on
You're a Catholic the moment Dad came...

I can never sleep when I want to, or want to when I need to. It's not fair.

Today was my first day of getting in at 8 and then going to class after work.

I nodded off in Latin class. I actually fell asleep! I don't think I've fallen asleep in class since naptime in kindergarten. I've come pretty goddamn close, but I don't think I've actually drifted out. At least, not until tonight.

What will Wednesday bring? Full-on snoring?

As part of his show last Saturday, Matt Besser read aloud some printouts of the reaction that a gun-activist who was a guest on Crossballs had to his appearance on the show. Apparently it was a big to-do on his website. Besser said if we hadn't heard the story about the gun guy, we should try Googling "Crossballs" and "guns" and see what happens.

I found the gun guy's detailed account of his drama. It's pretty hilarious.

I spent the weekend with my original Stephanie, of Brooklyn/first grade/etc. We brought her together with the other two Stephanies, and with Gina and Erin out of town at the Democratic National Convention, Kirsten and I were outnumbered by Stephanies.

We also saw Matt Besser's show at the UCB Theatre, which was beyond words of the funny.
