Random Thoughts for Today

• Teaching has greatly lowered my Diet Coke standards: three months ago I would REALLY rather not drink it from a can, and NEVER drink any Diet Coke that isn't ice cold. I catch myself guzzling warm Diet Coke from a can like a pathetic addict. Desperate times call for desperate measures!
• Heard a most unfortunate pronunciation of "Shiite" today on the news. Let's be careful out there.
