Paper Hata

Damn you paper! No, not the writing kind of paper (though I did finish a 3 pager last night), but the other kind, the abusive kind. I got this horrible paper cut on my index finger and I nearly died because of it. Please beware of sharp, evil paper :)

On a lighter note, I'm trying to get rid of 5 ($5) tickets to Sat. festivities on State St. Any takers? I must actually post the letter sent to me by the dear friend, YogAl who is working on his law degree who bailed on me with his 4 friends-

October 26, 2006
Dear Mrs. Non-Sequitor,

You may recall that we had the opportunity to spend a few minutes together in Shanghai on June 23, 2004 regarding the Madison Halloween party. I must tell you that I greatly enjoyed our conversation and was impressed with your achievements, both socially and in life.

Because of being an ignoramus, we have limited opportunity to drive to Madison to spend the weekend with you. Given the number of friends, including you, whom I had the privilege of meeting, this resulted in a difficult selection process. As a result, notwithstanding your excellent credentials (as a friend), unfortunately, we are not in a position to further pursue the Madison Halloween party with you at this time. However, with your permission, we will retain your cell phone number and will be in communication with you again should our circumstances change.

It was a delightful personal experience to chat with you. I wish you success both at the Halloween party and in your partying pursuits.

Sincerely,

YogAl

PS: Wendell, stop stealing my popsicles or i will steal YOU :)
Ms. NS

I once got a paper cut from a cardboard box at my job at the univeristy cafe... and it got infected and then I had to have it drained and needed $30 a tube antibiotic cream and then I collected workers comp! Ha! I still have that antibiotic cream...and that happened like years ago! Beware the paper cuts!

Surprise! What did Talie and Ms. Sequitur find? HA I meant Ms. NON-Sequitur of course.... How exciting, a teeny tiny (or tee-niny as my Grandma B says) little critter. A baby gecko is gracing her presence on my keyboard. Check out this amazing video footage taken immediately upon noticing the gecko/lizard/cold blooded animal: PS: I made it to work today. I continue to do a Christian Cross each time I arrive somewhere. If anyone knows another religious type sayings I can do or say when I am safe, I would appreciate it. I'm not sure if Jesus and I are vibing.  BIG HUGS Non-Sequitur!

SATURday

In the Park...I think it was the 4th of July. (Think that song by Chicago) Well, it's the 7th today- So how was everyone's 4th? How do you feel about your independence? I was thinking about that-- how come we always say, "Happy 4th!" and not "Happy Independence!" Wouldn't it seriously be an adventure if we were still part of England? Maybe we'd all have British accents and Canada and the US would all be like one big country. Maybe we'd all have health care? And calling my Canadian friends wouldn't be long distance! Yesss! Pets are so much work. Man, I'm babysitting these fish and they are exhausting. I mean, I have to feed them TWICE a day. Come on! Hee Hee. :) I suppose that's why I murdered my fish in college...I mean I didn't murder him/her I just forgot to feed him/her for like a week or so and then he/she died. Do fish REALLY have a gender? No. They are all just fish. Fish sex (sex like making love) would b...

Whoa! What a cool place this Mutinondo  was!  It is is a woodland, wilderness area NORTH EAST of Lusaka about 10 hours by bus. (Sorry about the yelling, that is a little shout out to my friend, you know who you are) (Also,  let me know if the link doesn't work) There were these gorgeous look-out points and mountains....well, large granite hills, but they were steep enough and we climbed up 2 of them. It took about 30 minutes to get to the top of each.  In the top video I'm reaching the top of the mountain!  You can hear our cool driver Mr. K cheering? :) me on!  These photos are in no order exactly, but I'll talk a little about each one! I think this one is on top of the first mountain, called Charlie's Rock This is horse poop (I know you are supposed to say scat in the wilderness, but I think horse poop is funnier. The place has some horses that we didn't ride) The view. Whoa. A little creature roaming around. He was furry and I wonder ...
