i have not watched a single second of TV about the primaries, but i feel like i have a pretty good handle on whats going on, because people in different rooms keep yelling relevant details at me. at work, sharon would just yell, "obama won illinois!!!" (etc) whenever she had new info. here at home, shayna (the roomie) is keeping me abreast of the situation in the same manner. it is a good deal.

the 1R and i enjoy a connection unrivaled by any i have ever observed. this morning, i was late... but it was late, too! it knows me; it reads my mind.

to everyone who once wanted to comment on this blog and couldn't because you didn't have a blogger account: now you can! i changed the settings to accept anonymous comments, which i did not realize it was disallowing.

taylor (shayna's terrier) likes to come into my room, run around really fast, sniff things, and then leave. this is one of her two favorite hobbies. the other is crying loudly and plaintively when shayna's not home.

the editorial assistant at counterpoint is leaving; tomorrow is her last day. she was the one who interviewed me and showed me around the office and showed me where the bathroom and the office supplies were (the office supplies are in the bathroom, which made that easier). i will miss her. annnd it will be weird to have more seniority than someone, anyone.
