i know my calculus

~2 gether

My what a loverly day…le sigh.

So, some funny/interesting things.

Urban dictionary’s word o’ the day is valentine’s day. The definition made me giggle. And then made me think how I’m an October baby. But I’m later in Oct and I’m pretty sure we were a few weeks early (twins often are). So anyway, yeah.

and I heard TWO funny songs on the radio—one last night and one this morning. Do you remember the U + Me=Us song? The played in on wknc and I just sat in my car, in the rain, and laughed at it. Especially since, um, well, that’s not really calculus, it’s more like algebra! (nerd alert!) my fave lyrics:

Your algebra and trigonometry
Could never equal up
To what you do to me
So lets integrate differentiate
If you were in my class
There ain't no way I could pass
I hate english, gym
And not to mention, I can't even afford to pay my attention
If philosophy should ever come between us
But we'll always have our calculus

the second one is by the Dresden dolls—it’s called Coin-Operated Boy. I mean, “made of plastic and elastic he is rugged and long-lasting who could ever ever ask for more?” Yeah. laugh-central. I’m really liking having a nice working radio in the AM—it means I can listen to wknc or npr in the morning while I get ready.

Oh, and? I assume y’all heard about this story but if not…guess the cold clammy hand of death didn’t part them, huh? Yowzers. There’s all this speculation about how they might both be girls, or was the wife slain and buried with her hubby, or what. Is it wrong that I find this kind of funny--I mean it's sweet that they're in an embrace, but there's a lot we don't know and it's all coming out at v-day, sooo...yeah. It’s in Italy, and I think it’s weird. I mean, their legs—who lays like that? Maybe I just missed the boat on that particular cuddle position. Yeah, skeletons on v-day, so shoot me.

It’s weird that this is the first v-day since I was in EIGHTH GRADE that I am single (and it’s all Sterling’s fault—not now, but in eighth grade, take my word for it). It’s a bit odd, but on the bright side at least there’s no way I’m going to be disappointed. My friend Betsy and I are having fondue, champagne and watching LOST (thanks for the spoilers, jackie!). I also have a lunch date with Susan—I’m such a two-timer! :) But I am a leeeetle concerned that Susan was my new year’s date and now she’s my V-Day lunch date, and then Betsy was my new year’s kiss (on the cheek, kids, on the cheek) and now she’ my Valentine. Hmmmm…

And have you heard of this?--Initiative #957, Washington State. It’s HILARIOUS. It pissed me off at first until I realized that the guy was making a huge political statement, and an amusing one at that...if the state is saying that one of the reasons gay marriage shouldn’t happen is because homosexual couples can’t procreate, then they should require married couples to do just that. I mean, sure, it’s preposterous, but he’s got a hell of a point, there…

Last, but not least, I brought a man to work today. A little man. He's about two inches tall, from target, comes in different colors (and in different positions) and he makes me giggle. I found my leftovers (we had some in Charleston AND in NYC), so I had to bring one to work. I’ve a hunch they’ll be seen at a bachelorette party near you (in June?)!

happy vday, everybody, from nataliedee.com
