A Little Late Now

I just took an informative quiz called "What should you have done after high school?" Apparently I should have done one of two things. Of course, I didn't do either.

They also had one called "What college major are you/should you be?" It was obviously geared towards those in college/about to go to college and not those 3 years out of college retrospectively evaluating major life decisions, but I thought I'd take it anyway as it might validate my decision to major in English, even though my decision to attend an Ivy League school had been way off base. But no, apparently my choice of concentration was also misguided.

Miscellanea

• I have two items currently checked out of the library titled "Spellbound." One is a recent documentary about spelling bees and the other is a book about the "surprising origins and astonishing secrets of English spelling" ("Why doesn't 'cough' rhyme with 'dough'? Why don't we spell words the way they sound? Is there a rhyme and reason to the English language?") Yeah. I'm not a nerd at all.
  
• Thanks to Lindsay, the original wacky hat is now back in my posession. Now, how to work Uncle Sam into my duck tour?
• For all of you keeping tabs, the Speedster's odometer now reads 1375.9.
  
• Emily Saliers (1/2 of the Indigo Girls, for all of you who aren't quite as obsessed) jogged right past me the other day as I was showing my parents the Seattle waterfront.
  

Two Rolls of Film

And all of the pictures are going to look the same--mountains, ocean, sky. Can't get enough.

San Juan Island & Vancouver.
I'll post pictures when I get the film developed. I should get a digital camera.

The 'Rentals Are Here!

Ducking Out of Work

So I called out sick for work tomorrow because I sound like a frog, not a duck.

Sorry, this strikes me as funny because I just got back from dinner at Becca & Emily's new apartment on Capitol Hill, and while they make very good food (a Chinese tofu & brown rice dish where one of the letters is either a "p" or a "b" and homemade mint chocolate ice cream), they also make very bad animal puns (somehow a slightly askew lid on a mug reminded them both of steaming porpoises).
