I think I'm more paw paw than woman at this point. One of my coworkers brought a bunch in to give away and no one wanted them but me. YUM. I know a lot of you probably never had one because it rots quickly and looks like a bruised ugly green potato to begin with so it's not usually in stores. I can get them at farmer markets (and plan to go to the paw paw fest next week). I ate so many paw paws today.

So I recleaned the living room convinced I had my check book on the couch. On the upside the room is clean. On the down side, I took off ALL the couch pillows and flipped it. Nothing under it but holy crap my arm hurts.

So I decided to poke through the book bags that I didn't empty and what not. Apparently I hallucinated it being on the couch. The check book was still in the camera bag where I put it so it wouldn't get lost back home. Head desk.

One of my coworkers brought in this!! Spock with the Horta and he talks. I'm SO thrilled to know this exists. Mom's birthday gift is done. I should get it tomorrow when I have to go down to Gallipolis for a presentation on the holy wells and sacred springs of Wales. RI had it and she asked you know what this is, right? I said it's the horta from The Devil in the Dark and TH, the organic chem prof and fellow geek looked at me and said, 'you're SUCH a nerd, you know that right?'

Yes, yes I DO.

In fact I have an older student who always wears (well the 5 times I've seen him) superhero t-shirts and I complimented him on them and he's as stunned as I am that we're now accepted as almost cool.

And one of my students is a DJ at the local station I love. Cool!!

And TH gave me this link. We both love Weird Al.



ETA - I saw my first "Christmas" commercial today. K-Mart. Oh it makes a huge deal of NOT being a Christmas commercial and is rather a 'birthday one' (with elves and reindeer running about). In a way I can't blame them since it's for their lay away which needs time but on the other hand, September folks!
