If you live in Texas
and give a shit about the education of your children, please read this blog:

and take a few minutes to actually do something political by contacting a school board member. What's about to happen there is of momentous importance.

ARGHH! Ohmygod.. oh my god... wait, oh, ok... it's just birds
I really thought that Rock of Love Bus and Tool Academy were about as far down as we could sink in our pop culture, but I was wrong wrong wrong.
Behold, Hot girls in Scary Places on E! Entertainment network... No, I am not making this up.
What really scares me is to think about what could possibly suck more, because sooner or later (probably sooner) somebody's going to figure it out and put it on television.
And they're "competing" for $10,000. Jesus.

It's the little things
When I take the time to notice, I realize I enjoy and am amazed by lots of stuff.
For example, I received a mass-email yesterday, the gist of which I'll repeat here:
It is physically impossible to rotate your left ankle in a clock-wise motion while simultaneously tracing the number "6" in the air with your left index finger.
Friggin' Dang! Give it a try.
The brain is a neat thing. Or how about this:
Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer
in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, olny taht the frist and
lsat ltteres are at the rghit pcleas. The rset can be a toatl mses
and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do
not raed ervey lteter by ilstef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
How does our brain do that? It makes me want to learn more about language acquisition and brain function.
Little anomalies like these that go against what we would intellectually take for granted help to keep me on my toes and interested in things. Though trivial, the innumerable small surprises I come across in my daily life help to keep me excited about the mysteries I have yet to uncover. They remind me that no matter how old I get, I'll never know everything, and that's comforting.
