This is too much stress going into a 3 day weekend. My stomach is starting to hurt.
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…

Hey Aussies, it appears that we’re all getting a free swine flu vaccine. My doctor offered it to me this morning but apparently Broadway hasn’t received their stock yet. (I did get my dip/tet/per booster this morning, as my recent whooping cough test showed that my childhood immunisation had worn off.)
It was just over FOURTEEN YEARS ago when I nervously walked into my freshman year dorm room and met Eileen, my roommate. I’d never met anyone from New England before – much less from Boston – so the Dunne family were a little overwhelming! Eileen and I got along great, dorm room fires notwithstanding. We had Biology together, which was super useful because I never would’ve passed without her helping me on those damn lab reports. I just didn’t understand how she could like it so much. But Eileen was sure from Day One that she was going to be a biology major, and I really admired that she knew what she wanted to do. She has stuck to that ever since. The last six years of grad school have been tough, and I knew there were times when she wanted to throw in the towel. She stuck it out though, and as of yesterday my very own Roomater has earned her PhD! Congratulations, Dr. Dunne! And the best thing is, she flies out here in one week so I can toast her in person.
The broad beans have sprouted! Everything looks to be relishing the warmer weather and sunshine. Coffee grounds seem to be doing a good job of repelling the slugs.
A photographer has been travelling the world, taking photos of all the oldest living things. She should be collecting it all to make Vita-Wonk!
Whoa. A magic wand that is actually a TV remote with an accelerometer? That is so cool! I could be swish-and-flicking my way through Seinfeld each night. (Link courtesy of not marth.)
Heading out the door to go enlighten the youth of tomorrow on the Amazing World of Roald Dahl!
Lesson of the day: third graders are crazy smart. They’re also attentive and friendly, if a little fidgety. And they gave me a present!

I’m sorry. If I had seen #heyhey before I became an Aussie, I might have thought twice. THIS, THIS IS OUR CULTURE? This sucks.
Harsh, yes. But that “Who Am I” game w/ Akmal made my brain fall out. Puppets? Funny noises? Random cartoons? WHAT IS THIS? #heyhey
@DDsD That made me snort. I wonder if there was a rush of signups after they mentioned the hash tag at the top of the show?
@bellsknits I only made it like 15 minutes, but it was all new stuff. Even Snook – who had semi-fond memories – was not impressed.
Just completed a 4.30 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/3XvUNo #RunKeeper
Waiting for allergy shot at doc. TV is showing Willy Wonka. I have NOT had enough caffeine for “Cheer Up Charlie” at this hour.
Bad: “Cheer Up Charlie”, two injections, and accidentally SLAMMING into a guy on the pavement. Good: bacon&egg roll, coffee, and new chair!
@Bex_the_Femme DUDE. I just had a bacon&egg roll with barbecue sauce. A LITTLE WARNING, PLEASE.
Getting email from the 3rd graders: “Thand you for coming to W.P.S. we loved the BFG comedy show it was so funny that my sock came of!”
I’m up to 14 emails from the kids. They must be having computer time this morning. (Smug observation: girls are better spellers.)
Yay, my sister Amy’s new business Carbolicious got featured on Cake Wrecks today! No, not because she made a wreck of cake. Rather, it’s because she and her husband cranked out, like, 300 cake balls for the Petaluma book signing event. Way to go, guys!
