-Threadless must have changed the shirts they print on, because the medium I'm wearing right now is noticeably wider and longer than the other mediums I own. I also have a couple of the old smalls and those are a tad snug. So next time do I buy the new small size, in hopes that'll fit me better? Not knowing the exact sizes and outrageous shipping prices are the only downsides to online shopping.
-I really, really, really like T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."
-I'd like new music and a bigger iPod. Not necessarily in that order.
-I spent yesterday afternoon re-reading River Secrets. That was good for my soul.
-This helped me realize I need to remove myself my computer more often. (And yet...here I am.)
-Otter pops are at their best when they're still a mite slushy. Also, if you freeze otter pops vertically, then your scissors won't get sticky because there's a small amount of air at the top. That's probably the most useful thing I've ever said on this blog.
-I have to teach two classes next Monday (Behavioral Neurobiology and Intro to Psych), since the professor will be out. I'm flattered he asked me, but also deathly afraid of screwing up. Intro to Psych has 106 kids in the class. Eek!
-I'm pretty bummed out there's no new Harry Potter book coming out this summer. I mean, I know we get the HBP movie
-I'm going to make paneer this weekend. Hopefully I'll remember to take pictures before eating it all.
-4 weeks until graduation!
-Some friends and I do a GRE Prep class every Thursday night. There's already a high level of nerdiness, given that it's strictly student-run and we make analogy jokes and stuff. Somehow, I have been branded as the geeky one. I'm not sure how I feel about this, but mostly proud.
-I've been debating about this post I wrote a while back. It's not really controversial, it's just a big step for me to actually put it out there. Maybe next week? We'll see.
-I've been playing around with new blog ideas. Wordpress vs. blogger? Do I dare to make the switch?

I think Firefox vs. IE is like PC vs. Mac. I made the switch from IE to FF years ago and I've never looked back. Personally I think you should switch.
I'm also a huge fan of Wordpress. It's a little overwhelming when you first switch, but I think it's worth it.
I had to google otter pops. I was expecting something glorious, but I was wholly dissapointed. They're just US-branded Freezies!
Good luck with teaching your class! You'll do great! Oh, and thanks for the tip on Otter Pops...much appreciated! :)
From what I remember of making the switch, it can automatically import all your bookmarks and stuff the first time you start it. It should ask you. Have you started it up yet? If it didn't, that is really weird.
As for plugins, a good one is TwitterFox. It comes in pretty handy if you twitter a lot while surfing the web.
Good luck teaching your class!
Also, I'd make the switch to Wordpress. I did it months back, and although I really love the layout & everything you already have, I just enjoyed the actual wordpress site more. Easier to navigate, I think.
Firefox is definitely nicer, in my opinion. I used to dislike it because it was new, but once I started using it I really liked it, and now I'm annoyed when people only have IE. Go figure.
And the otter pop tip? Genius.
As for Wordpress vs. Blogger... I switched awhile ago, and I like Wordpress, but there are pros and cons to both... it really comes down to personal preference. You could always start a Wordpress blog and see how it goes, and then switch over if you end up liking it better. If you don't like it, then no harm done.
But Firefox is awesome!
Good luck with your class. I am POSITIVE that you can do it.
I cried when I finished the last Harry Potter book. I was just so sad there wouldn't be any more.
There needs to be a new HP book.
firefox is awesome. you should download foxytunes if you listen to music while you're searching. That way you can change the song/mute/pause the song right form your browser.
Oh wow, brilliant advice on the Otter Pops! Also, Firefox is amazing and incredibly easy to switch over to from IE.
And Harry Potter--sob! I want more!
3 things:
Firefox is so much better than IE.
I'm sad about Harry Potter too :(
Wordpress all the way!
Is HBP the one that's coming out in two parts? I thought it was HP7.
You need to get the Greasemonkey extension so that you can add this script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/10755
Which is the greatest thing ever.
Re: Otter Pops.
You genius.
