First of all, today is Veterans Day. So, to all the soldiers fighting for our freedom all over the world, self salutes and honors you.
Now then: It was such a beautiful day!
Self worked at the Writing Center, then had late lunch with Zack, Liza, and Jonathan in Tribu again — yum! Yuuumm! Self’s pants are so tight right now, she can hardly breathe!
She had lychee shake! And shared a bibingka with Zack!
And now she is home, giving her tummy a much-needed rest. Naturally, she begins wandering the Internet, ever in search of more news, more information, more laughs, more inspiration, more what-have-you. And she pauses for a while on Open.Salon.com. And peruses the list of posts. And here are a few of her favorites (Asterisks are for the posts that made self laugh out loud at least once) :
- Cartoon: Proust is Boring
- Springsteen Robbed of Spot on NPR’s 50 Great Voices List
- Involuntary Lactation & Other Lessons Learned in Jamaica*
- When Geeks and Nerds Cross-Pollinate
- Iraq: Ten Lessons Learned During My Brother’s Deployment*
- My Son Says He is White (about Sammy Sosa’s alleged use of skin-whitening products)
- Reflections on Two Military Cemeteries in France
P.S. to dear blog readers: Post # 5 and # 7 were written by the same person. Good going, Mr. von Hoffman!
Stay tuned.
