Squirrels and things...
Well, in the desire to post but not finding much to write about, i have decided that may i have to exert a little effort here (maybe a blog is like having kids -- they need to be encouraged in the beginning, and as they grow, you also grow as a [blog]parent... or something like that...)
Anyway, about squirrels... Today i saw a very fluffy squirrel with a quite un-fluffy tail, enough that it looked like his had fallen off and he had replaced it with a spare rat tail... I felt sorta bad for him (her?) and i had some leftover PopTart that i classically carry with me (don't ask), so i threw some bits of it to him. I guess he was so hungry that he actually ate some (getting so close to me that i could almost touch him). While i felt good that i was giving him nutrition, the fact that it was PopTarts providing the nutrients made me feel like i was also taking off years (months?) of his long-term life, as PopTarts are probably one of the most artificial, chemically-designed breakfast foods ever invented... (Of course i've eaten so many that i have built up an immunity to iocaine pow-- ... i mean, PopTarts...)
And secondly, go check out the Rackham building (ya know, the one that nobody knows about, but we had to send a separate application to?)... they are restoring it, and somebody must have been on a wacked-out acid trip when they were selecting the new color palette. If you can look down a hallway and see red, gold, and blue walls all in the same view, that is surely saying something (reminds me of a Kubrick movie set...).

eh, not much to say, nothing funny of course, but the squirrels have packed up food for this time of year, so if they seem to be getting skinnier, they are, maybe they're trying to lose weight for swimsuit season?

Pop-tarts are gross and I am bored.

Aah! Why are you commenting on my blog while IM'ing to me!? Are you saying *i'm* boring!?
and Pop-Tarts aren't gross (they sorta are if you don't heat them first, which i don't do either...) but they still taste good -- sorta like cold hotdogs... ;) (not the same taste obviously, but the same general idea, if you think of 'same' as extremely processed, 'not necessary to heat before eating'-type food)

I think a cold hotdog is one of the most disgusting things I could ever think of eating. Worse than olives.

Mmmmmmm, olives.
