First Thoughts of the Year

Is it horrifying that I can legitimately say that and it's the fifty fourth day of the year. Oh it's only the fifty fourth day of the year. I'm fine. A little late, but I'm fine. I intended to be this late. Swearsies.

Here's the down low on the situation. By situation I'm unsure of what I mean, I'm kind of winging it right now.

1. It's snowing. Do you remember when the snow used to be magical? It's not magical anymore. Okay, sometimes it's magical. I think I'm just bitter because snow = ice = slipping = ego deflation = bruised tailbone. And I somehow still have to struggle to class because our university doesn't believe in school closure.

1.1 Did I ever tell you about the time I thought my tailbone was going to fall off? On Halloween a few years ago, the year I was dressed as a mob boss in my dad's suit (unbeknownst to him), Jeremy thought it would be a really funny ordeal to pull up a chair for me and then literally pull up a chair for me. I sat down, because you know I thought he was doing something nice. Have you ever tried to sit on the air? It has yet to work out for me. I was walking like ...well, I was walking pretty funny for the next few days. Yes, I'm still a little bitter.

2. The cap'n. In my biological anthropology class we have a lab where we identify bones. This week, our lab was forensics based and we had to determine, sex, approximate age at death, height, and cause of death of a real human skeleton. Well, our group kept lovingly referring to our crumbly skull as the "Cap'n". Why? Not sure. But as we slowly determined that a) he was a he, b) he was on the short side, and c) he died pretty young, we also discovered that HE WAS ACTUALLY A CAPTAIN. Homeboy died in a drowning accident. Maybe we're jumping to conclusions here, maybe he fell in a creek on a nature hike or something. But actually, I think homeboy cap'n was actually a captain. In my mind he was a captain on an old school boat and he got caught in an epic storm and the crew did their best to salvage the boat but it sank and the captain unfortunately went down with his ship. Realistically his isn't possible because his skeleton is pretty well preserved and I don't know how easily his body would have been retrieved in an epic storm.

2.1 I can't believe I just wrote "preserved" and "body" and "retrieved" in the same sentence. That has to be the first time that's ever happened in my life.

3. Haikus. I'm starting a brother blog to this one. You know how everything has a "sister". The sister store or the sister location or the sister blah blah. Well, this isn't a sister blog. This is a brother blog. And I'm writing one Haiku every day from February 23, 2011 - February 23, 2012. Yes, I'm really doing it.

3.1 The brother blog is located here: www.haikuthree65.blogspot.com. Enjoy yourself.
