Things I Learned Today

28 Feb
  1. I can look it up everyday and still wonder how to spell the word ”occasion”;
  2. It takes six hours for an office full of adults passing a box of Girl Scout “Thin Mints” to consume the whole thing;
  3. If you once ran at the gym for hours on end you can be “the lady who can run forever” even if you haven’t been to the gym in a while and even if all you do now is walk;
  4. I have a friend who really, really identifies with penguins and I’m disturbed by this; and
  5. Bad news does seem to come in sets of three, I’ve had two fairly close pieces of bad news this week, wonder what’s next.

    I just realized it was Girl Scout cookie season when I saw a few boxes in some legislator’s office on Monday. They’ll be at UCLA in a few days selling their irresistible yet overpriced boxes. I buy them ’cause I was a Girl Scout.

    I have a similar problem with many basic words, but I’ve developed a system to remember. For example, tomorrow (3 o’s, 2 r’s, an m and an upside down m, how confusing!) i just break it up in my head as tom or row. Works every time! Now if I can only figure out how to tell the difference between G and J…
