I have decided that this list needs a little more humor, a little more spunk, and a little more to feel good about. So I have decided to transcribe all of Steve Guttenburg's new movie "Zeus and Roxanne" (The feel-good movie of the year!)...or, maybe not. I guess I'll just try and write a few random thoughts down like the good ole days. (And I don't want anyone to respond with an argument that they weren't good! Cause then I'll have to Dennis Rodman you!)

Tina, Gretchen and I were chatting the other day and we were recalling a certain test that we took several fortnights back. Anyone else remember:

Question 1: Match the spoken word with the list that follows:
Aho...
a) aho (a house)
b) aho (a duck)
c) aho (a seven-legged cow)
d) aho (Steve Guttenburg is actually trying to make a comeback?!? Are you kidding?!?)
e) aho (Guys! Guys! Could you quiet down? This would go a lot faster if you guys wouldn't talk after each take...)

Let me guess, you took the test in Mrs. Lebaron's room, didn't you? Yes, those are the memories to cherish.

Speaking of memories to cherish, like several of you, I had my wisdom teeth out over this break. And while for the most part it was somewhat annoying (eating mashed potatoes for a week, being stuck inside for a few days), it had its Perks, or more specifically, Percoset. Anyone who has taken the stuff will agree with me that its great stuff. It makes staring at the ceiling and drooling seem as exciting as, oh, I don't know, trying to fly around the world in a hot air balloon because you've got nothing better to do and you're a rich bastard with nothing else better to do with your money even though you could be spending it helping the starving children for only 70 cents a day, hardly the price of a drop of coffee at any one of the 210584821349857435676451048516464087561407510647561047516343726 Starbucks within four feet of where I'm sitting. But, I digress. The point of that was that getting your wisdom teeth out can be fun. Or, at least tolerable. And isn't that what we all want, a more tolerable place to live...

I guess that's about all for now. If people want, I can continue writing these or I can just shut my trap, just let me know. It's up to you! I hope everyone's doing well at their respective schools. Take care, Everything's Gonna Be Alright, and Wish You Were Here................ Sorry, someone had to say it! Toodles!
