April:
first terri schiavo's death after so much controversy and now it appears that the pope has at most the weekend... it's a crazy week in the universe.

May:
ode to the weekend...it was a good one....... you can't tell me my head isn't a very very strange place.

June:
days like today are fantastic.

jessica and i hadn't hung out since new years, and now, being BEFORE the REU, moreover today being one of the rare times jessica had an afternoon free from both of her 2 jobs, i drove down to philly and met up with her when she got off work after 2.

August:
life goal #2013857 accomplished: last night i had a shot of absinthe with mike richter

(the goal was to try absinthe, not to drink with richter)

the end

September:
have you watched the news this week?

surely you're aware that hurricane katrina obliterated parts of louisiana and mississippi over the weekend. i was shocked yesterday when talking with friends that they knew hurricane katrina existed but they didn't realize how bad it was and hadn't looked at the pictures online or on the TV news.

every morning, after i work out, i eat a bowl of grits while watching msnbc for 15-20 minutes to catch up on what's going on in the world.

watching the video from new orleans this morning literally made me cry.

October:
most of today was spent grading... boring and didn't let me get to my own math. my students told lots of lies on their quizzes too.

November:
so every morning, i have a rule.

i don't care how much i'm in a hurry or how much i don't want to. my rule is: i'm not allowed to get out of bed and do anything until i've pulled the scale out from under my bed and stepped onto it.

doing this EVERY morning doesn't sound like it's that hard. it's less than 10 seconds of my day.

but i dare you. try it.

if you're at all not perfectly happy with your personal size and shape, some days it can be a lot more of a mental challenge than you would expect.

the end.

December:
how cool is this?
