   Okay, so I guess that I'm a student again. Parttime and at night, but hopefully my brain will not completely atrophy between now and fall. I went up to the local community college yesterday (hint, it's the one in the Blair Witch Project) and signed up for classes. Appently I did meet their entrance requirements, the check cleared. Go me. I'm going to be taking International Relations and US History 1865 to the present. Even at payup college, the books are horribly expensive. It's a giant scam really. You can't get more then 2% of your money back if you sell back books art the end of the semester. There's never only used books required for a class, so you end up paying like $90 for a differnt edition of the same book that's been used for the last 25 years. And these books don't look that challenging, I mean for the English classes, I had read most of those books in middle school. But hey, it gets me out of having to watch the half hour (and even worse) version of Weakest Link, so that's a good thing.

    I've found conclusive proff that Martha Stewart is in fact insane. I was looking at the latest issue of Living (it was in the libary, and I happen to like all those fancy things). IN the calender part at the beginning was and I'm not making this up, "decorate dogs" and the truly insane thing, "bathe cats". Umm bathing cats! No really, who in their right mind would wash a cat. I can't even trim the boys' claws without protective gear. Cat's hate water, the weasel cat fell i a bathtub once, and ran so fast that he was walking on water. Martha's gotta have some good health insurance. And aren't cat's more or less self cleaning? I don't know about Martha's cat's but mine spend that 1/3 of their day not consumed by eating, or sleeping, grooming themselves. Normally washing the nether regions right in front of me at lunch time.

    Well, I've been online long enough. Publisher's Claering House id prolly getting annoyed that the line is tied up. So I should herd the boys' upstairs and bathe them. Pray for me.
