define verdigris.

there are a few things on my mind right now:

Ray Carver was a God. (Everyone must read his story "A Small, Good Thing")

Right before Anton Chekhov died, he ordered the doctor to bring him a glass of champagne. Nice call. I think Ill order a box of See's Chocolates and Captain Lawrence porter.

Errands are the bane of my existence.

"Verdigris" means "green" (thanks, SuperDork).

I cannot live without my iPod. Yet my iPod is dying and i do not know how i will get through a day without neil young.

After almost 6 years away, it is thrilling to return to UT campus as a student. (despite the fact that most people on MoPac at 8:45 am seem to have closed their minds and taken their wonted place in the big gerbil ball, i do believe our brains were actually meant to be used. three cheers for depressed adolescents, chain-smoking, with books by foucault and derrida under their arm.)

I am utterly incapable of making life-changing decisions. Therefore I will probably die at age 98, a dimly contented old woman who never changed her position in life, or ever moved from her favorite spot on the couch.

Nobody knew what cold was until like the 1800s. (so for five million years or so, a bunch of folks have been sitting around, millennia after millennia, sewing long underwear and ear muffs, without ever answering the question of WHAT cold is)apparently, the slower atoms move, the colder something is.
