My brother has apparently caved and joined Facebook - oh, the humanity! I'm going to suggest various friends of ours (Jason / Justin / Janette / Eric / Margaret / etc.), twenty at a time. Hahaha. He knows more people than I do, I'd bet! Went out on Eric's advice, and discovered a pleasant surprise: the snow seems mostly melted / gone away! At least I don't have to tell Henry not to park in the middle of the lot tomorrow like he usually does since it was ICY the other night when Eric picked me up to go to Committee meeting! Speaking of Henry, I should call him and remind him to pick me up tomorrow... I CAN GO OUT AND DO STUFF WHICH I'VE BEEN PUTTING OFF FOR AGES! YAY!

Had a weird dream (yay for white pills!) which started out in someone's tiled bathroom! Dean Hill and Graham Hatch from Rock 101 were covering the reappearance of Jack Bauer, but the cameraman was somehow a space case. They didn't get footage of Jack emerging through a silver shower drain, and they couldn't get Jack before he disappeared around a corner, never to be seen again. (and believe me, they LOOKED in the bushes and everywhere else!) So then they had to make do with covering me and my friends getting together with various kids for a hangout day.

We went shopping for various items like pasta, and then decided to look through various university / college brochures. Saw a listing for CULTUS LAKE UNIVERSITY, and one for ODELL LAKE COLLEGE. Suddenly, we were transported to another college, circa 1989. A girl in our group was in the bathroom (in a stall marked "DO NOT USE"), and had made the acquaintance of two girls dressed really weirdly with bling and silver jeans. She wanted them to move since she had a certain emergency going on, but they wouldn't. Sighing, she resigned herself to the inevitable - she pulled down her pants to discover a pad SOAKED with blood, and a spare pad was in the same state! She made a note to herself to REMEMBER these things next time... and that was where the dream ended because someone was mowing the lawn outside my window! Not sure why I had that one... oh well.


Poo nugget for Friday, Jan. 9: Paleontologist Poo - The study of poo is not only useful for giving us information about our current digestive health. It can yield valuable information about the behaviors of the animals that roamed the earth millions of years ago. The study of coprolites, or fossilized poo, is widely used by paleontologists to better understand the dietary habits of dinosaurs. The largest dino poo ever excavated was found in Alberta, and measured 25.2 inches in length. Not impressed? Keep in mind that the T-Rex turd has undergone considerable shrinkage... try 65 million years worth. (I wish you could see the picture for this one...)
