Some people’s kids…

So, as I sit at my computer lab monitor perch, I am given the amusement of seeing two blond girls, working on a paper. The one of the left has an empty bottle of Diet Snapple Iced Tea.

Diet. Snapple. Iced Tea. Has Snapple really sunk that low? I’m a little confused– Iced Tea, by my understanding, has about the same nutritional content as water. Now how does one go about making that diet? The answer, it seems, is simple enough: print “diet” on the label, and without fail, obnoxiously skinny blond girls with entirely too much make-up will buy it and drink it.

Hmm. Troublesome.

In other news, this week is going to be the terrible and not-so-bloody end of me. I have two tests on the later part of the week, and I’m already quite behind. The terrible thing about having a cold is that if one’s motivation to get up, go to class, do one’s homework and so on is marginal to begin with, well, things just don’t happen. Hopefully I’m on the upswing. At the very least, the sclera of my left eye is almost completely white again, and I suspect that my right eye will be soon to follow. Whoo.

The weekend was nice– it was good to see my parents, and we got to eat some super good food. Along those lines, the more I see of Bozeman, the more I love it– the whole “Bozeman” mentality of things. Perhaps I’ll elaborate later.

Anyhow. Tonight I get to see Salman Rushdie speak (!!!) and hopefully I’ll do a bit of homework. I suppose I should pry myself away from this wretched computer and actually go do my job for a change.
