1. Everyone should be required to pop a mint before boarding public transportation.
2. I'm getting an online certificate/degree, and there's a person in my online course who works in my building. This person has been sort of stalking me, hoping that I'll hire her to teach in my program. She's patently unqualified for the job -- not that we have any open positions anyway -- and I've been very gently but firmly trying to make it clear that we're not hiring. However, I think she's taking it personally, and every time I post to the class discussions, she slams my comments and thoughts. Bitch.
3. I'm going to Vegas for four days at the end of January, for a conference. That's good, because I'm going to be able to take some cool workshops and learn cool new technology for my program. That's bad, because it's supposedly in the 50s in January, and we're staying at a really old, crappy hotel. And I'm going alone, because DH has absolutely no interest in Vegas (and I'm certainly not going to pressure him to go when the weather is crappy -- half the reason why I liked Vegas was the hot, dry, sunny weather!).
4. Sasha Baron Cohen is a genius. I have no idea whatsoever what he's going to do after he makes his Bruno movie (yep, it's gonna happen).
5. Finally, enjoy Borat rendering Jon Stewart speechless, and then forcing Jon to climb over the desk to chase him, trying to explain that Jews are "very pleasant people."
