Serious Note:
Virginia Tech: Horrible, yes. I'm hoping that it will be a wake-up call for the US to start treating mental illness with the same respect as physical illness. It could have been prevented.
(In all honesty, it's probably cheaper to treat. I haven't been to the doctor in over a year for anything since seeing a therapist and being treated for a couple things (gotta love OCD). Haven't even had an issue with my asthma. What does that tell you?
Less Serious Notes:
Betty Boop: Not interesting. Don't understand it. I followed a minivan today with the vanity plates: BBOOP and no less than 4 Betty Boop stickers/bumper stickers. Why? I don't get it. I like some weird shit and I'm pretty enthusiastic about it but Betty Boop?
Automatic bathroom fixtures are confusing. I go to the bathroom and forget to flush. I hold my hand under the faucet to wash my hands and a minute later realize I need to actually physically turn on the faucet. I walk past a paper towel machine and paper towels spew out - but when I need one, I keep waving my hands past the spot and get nothing.
Personal Day. I took a Personal Day this week. I made an emergency visit to the Vet to have my long haired Persian stitched up after an unfortunate matted hair removal accident (he now looks like like a cartoon cat), I had the best Authentic Cuban Sandwich in Cleveland at Lorelei n West 25th, drank fantastic teas at the Monastery Tea House, went to Great Lakes Brewing and watched American Goalie Tim Howard play for Everton for a few minutes before going to the Old Angle Tavern to watch Man Utd draw with Chelsea. It was a beautiful day. Damn near perfect.
Bowling Green Falcons and Urban Outfitters. DMC purchased a Bowling Green State University Falcons T-shirt at Urban Outfitters in Crocker Park for $15. It had to be bought. When did the rest of the world discover Bowling Green is cool? Why was the shirt cheaper there than at the University Bookstore? The cashier asked us if we went to BG and we said, "Yes, and now it's cool enough we can buy a T-shirt at Urban Outfitters." (I say all this even though we're now BW Yellow Jackets.)
Sexual Euphemisms. Also bought a book called "The Contemporary Dictionary of Sexual Euphemisms" by Jordan Tate at the Urban Outfitters. I now know what "shooting putty at the moon" means.
GPA. Grades were posted today. Mines 3.982 and DMC's is 4.0. I hate him. However, if he gets A's, we don't have to pay for his school. We have to pay for mine no matter what. So, his GPA is clearly more important than mine.
David Beckham. Won an E-bay auction for a Real Madrid Beckham shirt. Will buy an LA Galaxy shirt. Have a Man Utd shirt. Goddamn. He's hot. Also won a Hesketh Golf Club golf ball auction for a Father's Day gift. Hesketh's are hot too.
Manchester United. Barclay's Premier League Champions. Watch the ceremony Saturday on Fox Soccer Channel, around noon EST.

Governor strickland just passed a bill requiring PPO/HMO organizations to pay for mental health benefits at the same rate they pay for physical health benefits. It is now the law. Mental health is just as important as physical health, no question.
GPA- I am still not over getting a B- in research, or the A- I got last semester. The A- lowered my GPA from 4.0 to 3.93. I am sure the B- will bring me down well below 3.9 so bye bye summa cum laude next weekend. I don't know why I can't stop obsessing, but I can't
It's actually not a Falcon's T-Shirt. It's one of the old Bowling, Bowling, Bowling Green T-shirts and looks like it was probably orginal stock the university dumped.
As far as grades go I'm just trying to prove to myself that if I would have actually applied myself I could have done fantastic in undergrad and not ended up with the worst grades in my family.
