From yesterday's newpaper, in the Religion section:

"In life, death Jesus is the answer"

Death Jesus! \m/ YEEAAAHHHH!!!!!1

Yet another example of how omitting a comma can change the entire meaning of your sentence.

today at the mall

I got the 2007 Buffy calendar for $4 at the mall today. \m/ I also broke down and bought Twilight Princess for the Gamecube, along with the appropriate game guide. Total cost for that was $65, because of some discounts or something that you get when you buy the guide along with the game. So, not too bad. My mom was very upset that I bought this game only two weeks before I move out, so I promised her that since I'll be busy in February anyway, she may keep my Gamecube and the game until March. I will pick up the Gamecube and the cat at the same time. But she's not allowed to spill anything on the guide, or I'll have to whack her.

In other news, my room is a complete mess and I'm not at all packed for the move. But we found a different bed that I like even better at Boscov's, so that's cool. Hopefully I can find out what my new address will be so I can order the furniture soon and make the delivery arrangements.

Oh! For the moving! I think we're going to do furniture on Saturday February 3, and all the boxes from storage on Sunday February 4. So if anyone is around and wants to help carry things, Sunday 2/4 would be the day to do it!

things that are done

This afternoon I went to the gym and did 42 minutes on the elliptical and managed to squeeze in all my pushups and squats and stuff even though all the classrooms were being used for some training seminar and I couldn't do my whole yoga routine. Tonight I cleaned my room, changed my sheets, called to cancel (finally) my Sovereign bank account, showered and shaved my legs (just because I've discovered it makes me feel a teeny bit more feminine to have bare legs under my umpteen layers of winter clothing), packed my lunch, talked to Lauren about moving planning and bridal shower planning, and finished sewing all the patches onto my backpack. This last one is monumental: I've had the Endless Caverns patch since 2002. For as long as I can remember I've had a bunch of cool patches I keep meaning to sew on there. Tonight I finished it off. I had to cut off the Xena patch and replace it with Buffy, but they all fit and there's even room for a few more if I'm careful. And it looks awesome. And Mrs. Chancellor fixed the bottom of it for me, so it's not falling apart anymore. This makes me very happy. I'm just going to keep thinking about my lovely colorful fixed-up backpack to keep from worrying about how I'm going to plan my move and a bridal shower at the same time.
