Current Music: the hum of computers...

About to head home, but first, a few random thoughts:

+ Alarm clocks are the devil. They rudely wake you up on days when you can sleep in, and on days when you absolutely must be up by 7.10, they stay silent and laugh at your panicked state when you finally do wake up.
+ How could you possibly survive for weeks and weeks underneath a bunch of Egyptian rubble? They never really clearly say where all that water's coming from, you know... how are they getting water in the middle of a desert? Oh well, teletext says they're getting out (FINALLY) on Monday, so...
+ Does anybody want to be part of my linguistics experiment? All you have to do is (a) be a native Dutch speaker, and (b) read about 40 sentences out loud while I tape you. That's it. I need 5 people. Please?
+ I hate pigeons. Who was my friend back at Stanton who hated the pigeons? Erin? No... Becka! Hey Becka - ever ridden your bike through them (and had them fly at your head, missing you so narrowly that people along the road went, "Ooohhhh!")???
+ I have Spanish Salsa Pringles at home and I'm hungry.

(By the way, the Egyptian guy asked, "So what do you think about us spending some more time together?" which gave me my opening... he still makes me uncomfortable, but at least now I know that he has no illusions over what I might be thinking.)

THE SUN IS SHINING!!! And I do not have my bike, because I decided to outsmart the weather by taking the bus. A "Weather" should never try to outsmart 'the weather' I suppose... yeah yeah, lame joke, but laugh anyway, OK? :)

Tot maandag!
