Inflatable santas and light-wrapped palm trees...
Me: It's from the oldest Dairy Queen in the country...so there's that.
Kally: See? It's historical. Know what that means? Florida has CULTURE.
Me: Nothing says culture like chain fast food restaurants.
Kally: Especially in the south.

I’ve need seen so many (read: any) catheter-related commercials on television before in my life.

Plenty to do in Florida, my ass
I just watched the full hour of “America’s Cutest Cats” on Animal Planet. Thank god I already have a boyfriend because now it’d be hopeless from here on out.
I'd rather say an our father...
Apparently 5 days in the south with your family is the penance for telling inappropriate and off-color jokes the other 360 days
My brother is vegan now, for some reason
Kally: eating dairy doesn't murder cows.
me: but, kally, the cows don't make a decision for you to touch their udders
Kally: That's not murder. its sexual harassment.
me: i think it's more than sexual harassment...i think that's molestation
Kally: Alol, you're right, its harassment if you talk dirty to the cow
me: "That bell really brings out the size of your udders"
"I can help milk you if you think it'll help"
"You should really start showing off those teats if you want to get ahead in this herd"
Kally: "You're udders look so...soft."
me: "I don't care if the bulls are watching"
A douchebag walks up with a cardboard box on his head with a hole that says "Pasteurization Machine"
Kally: "Is your calf asleep?"
me: "Excuse me, miss, your udders are showing"
"You're really asking for it the way you lumber your weight around the herd"
Kally: "Is that your udders or are you just happy to see me?"
"when I call you 'heifer,' I mean that in a good way."
me: "I'd really like to show you my TBone some time"
Kally: "Moo for me, baby."

Small children should count as checked baggage
There were a couple of kids in the rows ahead of me asking their parents how many more minutes there were. [The flight is 2.25 hours.] After asking they proceeded to count loudly to 100. Then they would ask how many minutes were left…and then count…repeat. This lasted for at least 30 minutes, but I can’t be certain since I had already entered into the beginning stages of blind...
Thanks be to the ghost of christmas awful.
Every child under the age of 2 leaving Boston this morning was on my flight. And they all decided to cry for the full hour or so. Now waiting to board for Orlando. Here actually seems to be fewer kids, but this flight is notorious for strangers wanting to talk. I think they’re called “southerners”.
Waiting at the gate in Logan.
The airport is dead…D E D, dead. There is a rambunctious imp climbing on all of the connected seats next to me, which is nice. I hate flying to orlando because it’s always kids galore. Fuck you disneyworld.

The Denouement of the Semester
After proctoring for 3 hours and grading for 4 hours last night, I finished grading my question in 3 additional hours this morning, my semester is dying down. Now, I’m just summing up exam grades. <notsarcasm>I love mindless tasks</notsarcasm>.
PS: Today’s new portmanteau—denouemennui. I think it should mean “anti-climactic”.

Dear all students
I’m going to let you in on a little secret about teachers. All teachers have memorized every problem number in every textbook and practice exam, so they really do know what you’re talking about when you have a question on #11.

Apparently it's crazy kitteh time
Better title: apparently it’s still crazy kitteh time. I kicked Sam out of my bedroom earlier this afternoon because she was being obnoxious while I was trying to write this stoopid final exam. Now she’s back in her fighting her reflection in the mirrored closet doors. In between shadow sparring she’s scratching her claws down the wall, knocking things over, and ripping up...

And commence brain boiling in its own juices
Whenever my body gets sick, it goes all out—103 degree Fahrenheit fevers, chills, hallucinations…the works. I’ve had a low-grade headache/sore throat all day, but in the last hour or so i can barely keep my eyes open fully and I’m starting to get “fever dopiness”. It’s a good thing I don’t have to write an introductory college physics final exam by...

Writing an exam is like attending a pig roast at a NASCAR race in Satan’s asshole during August in the deep South.

Inflating Collision Protective Device
In trying to get ideas for my physics final, I’m flipping through a book on physics in biology and medicine and happened upon a section titled “Inflating Collision Protective Device”. I just read: “…[I]llustrated by examining the inflatable safety device currently proposed for use in automobiles.” Copyright date? 1975, so…there you go.
