Lucky Seven Miscellany

1. Anthony has escaped another American Idol elimination! I was so disappointed when Constantine had to go, but my hurt feelings have patched up now that Scott Savol is finally out of the picture. Go home, woman beater!

2. Once in awhile, I decide that it's okay for me to embarass myself. Yesterday's stunt involved participating in Curve's annual swimsuit competition, in which Curves members put silly swimsuits/bikinis over their workout clothes. I hope I don't win anything, because I sure as heck don't need more Curves junk.

3. I never knew that "mother lode" was spelled that way. But now I do.

4. Season 4 of Alias, after a slow, sluggish start, has finally picked up momentum. Last night's episode made me cry. Ok, that may not be the hugest feat, as I also cried when Constantine sang "Bohemian Rhapsody."

5. I made one-week's supply of vegetable soup Monday night. However, I added too much lemon pepper, which almost ruins the taste. I wish there were "anti-flavors" out there, like anti-lemon. Then I could add it, and the soup would be fixed...I also chopped a lot of onions, and I haven't been able to wash that smell off my fingers. Drives me nuts every time I pick my nose. Kidding. Maybe.

6. I have to get a TD booster shot before Duke will let me in. The last shot I had was in 1993. I'm scared. I was originally scheduled my shot for tomorrow, but I decided against having a sore arm, since I'm supposed to help Ryan move Saturday. My pain has been rescheduled to next Tuesday.

7. Alex helped me pick a good laptop that fit Duke's computing specs. But since the warranty only covers three years, I'm waiting for current finals to end before I order my laptop. I definitely want to make sure it will still be covered during my 3L finals. My aunt wants to help me pay for it, but I'd rather not take her money. She's making a big stink out of my "disobedience"--she thinks I don't want to take her money because I don't want to be obligated to her when she gets old. She's right about that, especially since the "obligations" include letting her live in my future home. I'd pay her asylum fees, no problem, but I'd rather disappear off the face of the planet than live with that monster.
