I finally got to have the type of day that I've been wanting all school year (or at least all spring semester) - a day where I could do whatever I wanted and not have to worry about anything needing to get done. It was very nice. Would've pro'ly been better if there was a little stress in my life to make it feel more like a guilty pleasure, but I'll take what I can get.

Things I like about Madison after being here for a week (in random order):
1) Main St. - it's so cute. It's older than Newark's Main St., but not old enough that it's quaint. Yet.

2) The fact among the 29 channels that we get on the tv, one's the History Channel, one's the Discovery Channel, and one's HBO.

3) The Natilus diner. It's kinda cool and good food. :0)

4) The weird security on campus. I was walking around last night and saw a campus police car at least 4 or 5 times in the same area within the space of an hour. It a) made me feel a little safer, b) kinda creeped me out b/c I'm not used to seeing campus security that much and c) for some reason made me think of the runner in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (no idea why).

I'm sure I have more reasons, but I can't think of any.

So, as I was watching tv today, I heard these two quotes - which made me laugh.

Spoken by some type of forensic scientist during a programme on the History Channel on how King Tut may have been murdered - "He was a young individual. Young individuals just don't up and die unexpectedly - even in ancient times."

And by one of the sportscasters after the hockey game tonight about one of the Ducks' coaches and player Paul Kariya - "That is the biggest endorsement a player can get - he (the coach) had his arms around him (Kariya), his cheek against his cheek."

Also a kind of thank for being so productive in updating the Challenges on The Island. Even if you aren't home and all that. I appreciate it. It's really nice of you. :-)

Oh, okay. :0) And you're welcome. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had internet access and more time (at least for now) than I thought I would. :0)

Every once in a while I do ( ;0) put it to good use, that is) - even if yesterday wasn't one of those times. And, yeah, did a bit of drinking last night. Mmm - Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade. :0)
