so, just found out our forecasts haven't been getting published for a whole day now. so i basically did 7 hours of forecasting for nothing.

I keep my hand in enough at parallel parking, and had to teach it to my daughter, that I'm pretty good at it. I've met people who are terrified to do it and I NEVER WANT TO END UP LIKE THEM.

But I suck doing it on curved roads.

State College, still unbelievably awesome


so many threads to read

I'm pretty sure it's technically correct not to put "a" before or "of" after the word "myriad", i.e. "There were myriad options available", but it just always sounds weird to me. I really like that word, though.

I always felt the opposite.

I never use "myriad". Or "plethora". Except that I just did.

Whoa, I just saw the fox that roams our backyard. We've heard foxes at night somewhat frequently, which is a really jarring experience itself--imagine what a 10 year old girl being tortured sounds like--but this was the first one we've seen.

was the theme from 'sanford and son' playing in your head

why the shit did i invite people over tonight?

Just don't answer the door, they'll go away eventually.

On the other hand, if they're already inside, hide the food and alcohol. They'll leave.

mose what's your address i need somewhere to go

I like both myriad and plethora but only if used infrequently.

so a plethora of myriads is right out

For a second I thought this was advice for my fox situation.

you went to trent's yard sale too?

so disappointingly, the coolest thing that happened to me at PSU this weekend was at the Phyrst on Saturday night. there's a song where the Phyrst Family give out instruments to all these people in the crowd and they each get a short solo. there's lots of stuff like tambourines and maracas that anybody can play (though apparently they gave them to the two people on earth who can't actually play them well)

anyway, i didn't get an instrument and i was a little disappointed. but they worked their way around during the solos and the clown who got the bugle had no idea what he was doing. so they're like "does anyone know how to play?" and i was like chyeah, and i played a bangin bugle solo after about two dozen drinks over the course of the day. i later lit the hot lead singer's cigarette and she told me i was the second best they'd ever had. so i guess i can put that on my resume now.
