you are not allowed to make any comments criticizing me for the obvious lack of order and structure in this post. now that we have that down, here are a few thoughts that immediately come to mind, and they will doubtless evolve as i go along.
i missed 90 percent of the super bowl because the church didn't cancel programming. silly people. never fear, though, a super bowl commercials post is coming. later.
we had an excellent ash wednesday service. sort of contemporary and family-friendly. the imposing of the ashes was rather chaotic and noisy, though.
i have been invited to see jumper with some friends in honor of "singles awareness day" on
feb. 14. :-) if it were my vote, we'd see a chick flick and not an action movie, but to each his own form of celebration. i might go, and i might not.
wednesday morning i was sent one of those delightful questionnaires which i naturally filled out and promptly sent on to other people who will probably be annoyed by it. i have got three back, only one from somebody i directly sent it to. one of them i got from a person i do in fact know (hello cabbage!) but haven't seen in ages. i assume that it was simply sent to everyone it was sent to by the person that sent it to cabbage, which includes me. ha, simple, right? it gets better.
the third one i have no idea whatsoever as to their identity. there was no name, but it was forwarded to them by cabbage. it could be someone from the place that cabbage now lives, or it could be someone i know, as i believe i know everyone else this person sent it to and they all live
where i used to live, where cabbage used to live.
one might think that one could look at the survey and discover this person's identity, no? haha, upon inspection and introspection, one can only discover that this person is a teenage boy who enjoys blowing things up and has a lot of strange hobbies and pets. now that narrows it down.
see the questionnaire at the bottom of the post.
i went out to pounce on the mail today and considered retrieving the last several days worth of newspapers, but decided against it. that would entail getting down on my stomach in the driveway and crawling under the le baron. jah, our newspaper carrier has this fascination with
pitching the paper underneath our car. every day. strange.
tomorrow i go back for my third newsroom 101 class. joy. last week our speaker told a most interesting story. years and years and years and years and years (okay, you get the point) ago, she drove two hours to interview betty ford. well, she got there and mrs. ford said she would not give her the interview. something was wrong, she said, and she wanted to know what. so the lady said she was in a terrible marriage and very discouraged and upset. mrs. ford wanted to know
what time the lady would be returning to her hometown. when she found out, she said perfect, just enough time. when you leave here, go immediately to the courthouse and file for divorce. i'll call you tomorrow to make sure you do. apparently that mission was accomplished that very day. wow.

I will not criticize you for lack of order. I will criticize you for lack of consistency. :)
Do I know cabbage? Does cabbage know young Master Carrillo? Do you know what in the world I'm talking about?
You didn't answer the question. ;)
(all of those)
