chicago '08

* Hugsband told me that he was going to clean out his junk drawer and disappeared into our home office. when I entered the room a few minutes later, he was standing naked in the bathtub of the adjoining bathroom doing something I told him that I wouldn't share. it was less embarrassing than you're probably thinking (and not even dirty!).

* my mom paraded me around her office last week, and most of her co-workers gushed about how alike we are. now I take more joy than I probably should in our differences. for example, I love blue cheeses and cantaloupe. she hates both. see?

* the fire alarm sounded at work today. probably, some hung-over undergrad pulled it to create an excuse for being late to class. I made up a joke related to the experience: how many PhD's does it take to decide whether it's safe to reenter a building after fire trucks leave? more than 30, apparently.

* my hairdresser called today and asked if I want to model for her at a hair show next week. free color AND a chance to relive my hairstyle guinea pig heyday of the mid-90's. hell yes I will!
