Insurance

I had strep throat a while ago and went to the student health clinic on campus for some drugs. I just got the insurance paperwork in the mail the other day. On the front it says:

Important Papers Enclosed:
1. Open Immediately
2. Read
3. Send Home To Parents

I laughed out loud. Opened it, read it, and fully intend on bringing it home with me and sending it over to my parents. I wish all of my papers could be handled (and instructed) so perfectly. I'm guessing after college they stop putting that on your insurance paperwork though. That's too bad.

I have an iGoogle homepage, and a little part of it has 3 quotes of the day. All three of them today made me laugh and/or appreciate their wittiness.

Nobody knows the age of the human race, but everybody agrees that it is old enough to know better.

Nobody in the game of football should be called a genius. A genius is somebody like Norman Einstein.
- Joe Theismann
Don't you wish there was a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence? There's one marked 'Brightness,' but it doesn't work.
- Gallagher

I love Ray Charles. He calms me down like nothing else when I'm feeling anxious or stressed or generally upset.
One of my favorite songs--
This is a great video. The caption reads: A very rare 1963 performance by Ray Charles in São Paulo, Brazil, recorded one day before his 33rd birthday. This set is a remarkable find. Beyond its historical significance, the video provides enormous pleasure: We get to see and hear Ray, The Genius at his absolute best, exactly as it was show then...

I'm reading Ahab's Wife right now...and MAN is it EPIC. I'm not going to divulge details, cuz I think if you have some free brain cells and a bit of time, you should read it. But it's been 400 pages of swash-buckling, Kentucky-wintering, lighthouse-climbing epicness. It's exhaustive. But a good read.

MT introduced me to this comedian and I think he's just awesome. He just kills me, and I think I was in the right goofy mood to appreciate the first time I watched it, so it was all especially hilarious. Enjoy the one liners and nice background music--
