Random Funnies

• My cat, Cosette, runs like Dino from the Flintstones
• Saturday, I was eating dinner at this great little Mexican place when the guy next to me, who looked like Ben Stiller as the orderly in Happy Gilmore, made this noise which sounded uncannily like a wookiee. I mean, it had the echoey timbre and everything. Truly, it was the weirdest thing, and he didn't mean to do it. I think he was actually yawning. SFV, you should take lessons from this guy.
• Again abused my educator status to get some free coffee and percentages off of things at Borders. The two books I wanted are still in hardback, and I can't bring myself to get them even with the discount. So I bought one book and CDs instead: Breaking Benjamin, Andrea Bocelli, and the nonfiction account of a Chinese adoption, Forever Lily (appropos bc it is written from the perspective of the nonadopting guest of the adopting parents, and I am going to be that person in the summer). I get to the front desk, and the Borders employee rings me up, stares at me, then stares back at my purchase and back at me saying, "That's a purchase in polarities." Just think if I had actually bought the Pynchon book in hardcover...

Ok, I need coffee now.
