turning into a bird?

While brushing my hair (I brush 100 strokes per day, but who doesn't?) the other day, I found a tiny feather in my hair.

Radioactive Ammunition Fired in Middle East May Claim More Lives Than Hiroshima and Nagasaki

This is a link I snagged from Harper's. If this is true, it's really crazy. I'm pretty sure it means that almost everyone else in the world will eventually die from it too?

Today I thought that I saw the smallest amount of tiny snowflakes falling outside of the window, but then got worried that it was ash from Mt. Tabor erupting after I realized how improbable snow was. It turned out that it was a small amount of tiny bugs flying around. Are bugs in November normal?

The neighbors are doing something weird with cars outside.

Yesterday was Oprah's 2007 edition of her Favorite Things. Oprah is my fave because she loves giving gifts and making people so excited that they lose their minds in a way that is almost completely offensive but still manages to make it look like she is doing good deeds. For example, Oprah gave away her most expensive gift in Favorite Things history, which was a refrigerator with a television in it. I think it was a refrigerator that cost $3,000. Everyone was screamin and cryin for it more than any other favorite thing and I felt so gross about it. Then she mentioned that the refrigerator company was going to come to their house for free and take their old refrigerator to either recycle it or give it to a needy family. On one hand, who could hate such a good deed? On the other I think we all know that they are just going to throw the old refrigerators in the ocean.

Also, for her birthday Oprah had a cake that weighed as much as four of my bodies.

I am currently in the process of compiling all of the books which make up the Ramona Quimby universe into a small, personal library. This of course will include all Ramona books, as well as Henry Huggins. I haven't read them in a while so I don't know if it will work, but I am going to try to cook up a way that I can argue for the inclusion of Mouse and the Motorcycle. I wonder if Ramona Quimby's life takes place in Portland? I will attempt to make a case for this as well.

Here are some links I'd like to share:

Today I rode my bike kind of far to cash some checks. After cashing these checks, I decided to go to the mall which was across the street since I love the mall so much. It was at the mall where I made a shocking discovery which has lead me to question the (very firm) foundation that I have built my life upon. The discovery was that frozen yogurt is better than ice cream. Leaving the mall with my cone, some creepy dude started shouting words I could not understand at me and I was scared.

Today I am making my second trip to work at the Glad Rags factory. Except it's not really a factory, it is a house, and I do not build Glad Rags, I put them into little bags. It's not my real job (I don't actually have a real job yet) and the last time I went was a week ago. I'm going to ride my bike there today which is scary because the bike is really old and rusty and so hard to pedal and every time I ride anywhere at a slight incline I feel like I'm going to die. When I go downhill, however, it's a joyride. I also don't have a helmet and when I ride all I can think about is traumatic brain injuries. I'm going to stop at the grocery store first to buy some cranberry juice because I think I am getting a UTI. Furthermore, I forgot the route that Noah told me to take and I don't know my way around that well yet. I'm probably going to be late. Well, see ya later, diary.
