This 'n' That

I just called my daddy because he's on a buisness trip and always likes to hear from us when he is out of town. It was so loud in the background when he answered that I asked where he was and he said, "I'm at a liquor store in Juarez, Mexico. They're giving out free tequila." "Daddy," I said, "you know that sounds sketchy at best." Who knew he could be so unpredictable?

Lunch today with Amanda in her office was enjoyable as always. Somehow I got my yogurt container to shoot its lid a few feet in the air with a really loud POP and Amanda said she is going to have post-traumatic stress syndrome. I'd feel bad about that but the look on her face when it happened was just too priceless....

So on Tuesday Dr. Young-ok An gave me my paper back with the grade "A--" on it. This spurred a discussion as to whether the two minuses cancel each other out as a double negative and become positive or if she just hates me so much that she wanted to give me a grade that doesn't exist, like an F+. The debate came up in my discussion group in her class today and David told me that he got a "B++." I just really don't know what to do with that...or her for that matter. Also, hypothetically speaking, if you were to read an entire poem about goblins what image would you have in your head of goblins? A hairy oompa loompa type thing perhaps? A half goat half man creature like in Greek mythology? Or a statues with really l----wait, maybe we shouldn't go there.

Mands and I went to Target. I vented the entire time. She was wonderful. We ended up sitting on the floor of an aisle sveral times to look at products and debate which should be purchased.

It snowed today and I wore my pink boots. Kala and I decided we don't think Health Services does last minute organ removals. What a shame. Apparently my ponytail is saucy today. Not caring must make all the difference...

Maybe I've just done too much role playing, but I tend to stick with the established conventions: short, green, hairless, pointy ears, kinda spindly, and, of course, stupid.

Juarez, Mexico??? That's about twenty minutes from where I used to live... El Paso, TX.
