  • I had a brilliant idea the other day.

    Imagine, in the fall, if one of the network TV channels premiers a zombie-apocalypse drama. Now, this is scary and fun and whatever, and America gets really involved with the band of plucky survivors... and then, around early October or so, a person with a strange infection shows up on the TV show that airs immediately before the zombie show. And then on the show that airs right after the zombie show. And then, before you know it, zombies are EVERYWHERE! The network is completely overrun! (Even the reality shows. I don't know about you, but I'd love to see an episode of "Dancing with the Zombies.")

    Brilliant, I tell you. Now I'm just going to sit back and wait for Hollywood to call.

  • Good news! I'm going to be working part-time for a D&D buddy. Sounds like I have the potential to be doing a lot of things like I did at the ice cream factory - invoicing, inventory, accounts payable, trying to keep the place organized... not sure how it's all gonna work, but I'm excited about it. Hooray!

  • Got the husband enrolled for the fall with no trouble at all. ... This is so counter to our previous dealings with the community college, I suspect it is a trap. But still, I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

    He's taking TWO math classes this fall. Should be interesting.

  • This is funny.

    I just finished reading a book which used the word "stochastic" several times. It was the first time I'd ever seen that word. I had to go look it up. Today, I'm listening to RadioLab while I'm cleaning, and what's the subject of the show? Stochasticity!

    "Wow!" I thought. "What are the odds?"













    (... if you don't get it, you should listen to the episode of RadioLab.)
