Beware the Ides of March

*Wow, Bucky was really working a bitchin' hairdon't on American Idol during Stevie Wonder night. How very Farrah of him.

*"Yurt" is a totally funny word.

*Today I went to one of my favorite websites, www.theonion.com, and laughed until I thought I would barf. Check it out-but be warned that it isn't for those who don't possess a fairly sarcastic sense of humor.

*Sunday afternoon we went to our favorite fast-food Indian place, Akbar's, for lunch and for takeout. Alas, Akbar's was no more. Come on, people, a girl has chicken curry and garlic naan needs!

*Last night I had a dream that I forgot to pack anything for our trip to Istanbul.

*My latest iPod obsession is Colin Hay. I've downloaded "My Brilliant Feat", "Overkill", "Beautiful World", and "I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You" so far. Tres bien.

*Ryan Seacrest: corporate whore or brilliant businessman?

*This moderation business probably won't kill me, but I also don't think it'll make me stronger. I really think it'll just continue to make me crabby until it's over.

*Oh, Chicken Little, you're too wee and cute to sing "Part Time Lover." (Sorry, American Idol is on here as I type this.) That is just too amusing for words.

*Meetings and staff chapel got cancelled today and we all went to a chicken buffet restaurant. Mashed potatoes instead of meetings? Me likey! MSG-licious!

*Lance Bass is in the American Idol audience tonight. Every time I hear his name I crack up because I imagine Mindi yelling, "LANCE BASS DOES NOT WAX THE CAPSULE!!!" I know nobody will get that but Mindi, but that's OK. Hi Mindi!

*I (kind of) accidentally taught my 8th grade homeroom students the phrase "shut your pie hole." Oops. At least I taught them afterwards that it wasn't a very polite thing to say. But that doesn't mean it isn't kind of funny.
