Random Thoughts for the Evening

[kenjari]

The weather here for the past two weeks has made Baltimore (and Peabody Conservatory) much more attractive. They don't regularly get snow in the middle of March. And it's 60 down there. As opposed to Boston, where we're currently considering the low 50s a heat wave.

Snarky feminist retort for the day:
I saw the beginning of a deodorant commercial on TV, in which a jocky guy stated that "The beautiful thing about women is that they don't sweat like we do". My reply: maybe that's because we don't have to work as hard to get things done. (Ok, I'm not really a habitual male basher, it's just that stupid statements bring out my more snide impulses)

Why is it that I find small doses (5-10 minutes) of the WWE to be genuinely entertaining? It's kind of an anomaly among my usual tastes and interests.

I've been feeling like I'm fighting off a cold for the last week or so. I hate being sick, so I'd better start using my usual strategy of drowning it in lots of medicinal tea.

My piano needs tuning. But I'm reluctant to get it done, because I expect to be moving in the next three or four months, which means I'll just have to get it done again much sooner than is usually necessary. And piano tuning is not cheap. Also, it's not exactly pleasant to listen to.

No more news about grad school yet. Waiting sucks.

Yeah, the ad does kind of weird me out. The opening statement seems to be such a non-sequiter. It's not like the ad goes on to say that this particular brand is designed specifically for a male body chemistry, or anything else even remotely relevant.
