The Saga Continues...
So apparently it’s the [effing brand new] needle on my record player that is funked up.  Anyone know a good place to get replacements in NYC?

My 8-year-old sister drew a picture of an oddly shaped bagel.  The following explanation ensued: Lauren: Morgan, bagels aren’t hexagons Morgan: This is a Metric bagel.

I hate kids, but...
I love when NPR interviews kids.  They have a piano wunderkind on there now, who says he wants to be a zookeeper and clean the poopie of the animals.  jeez. I hope that if/when I have kids I can hire a team of editors to keep whatever they say/do cute and within the allotted timeslot. Oh man, he just started playing shalom aleichem…

Random survey: Do you wear cologne/perfume every day? Apparently, this is the norm.  My co-workers all do, and they all were suprised to hear that I don’t.  I think it’s ridiculous, personally. I smell fine [right?].

Just booked my flight to DC...
and it only cost $155 [roundtrip].  That’s a one way ticket on the train at this time of year.  That kind of feels like a reward for being environmentally irresponsible, no?  But, in the end, I’m too poor to care.  Sorry, nature.

I spend all day at my job making charts.  I stayed late at work yesterday and monday to make charts.  I was explicitly told not to be creative in my work, and just use what I’m given to work with. I have a degree in media art.  WHAT AM I DOING HERE???
