Today’s Amusing Anecdotes:

1. Mr. Long mentioned Seurat today. He asked us which movie a certain painting was featured in. I correctly said “Ferris Beuller”. Ha! How much do I rock? Mr. Long says Ferris Beuller is “the movie that every red-blooded American teenager should see”. I was a bit confused, but I thought it was funny anyway.
   

2. The checkout woman at Barnes and Noble said I had a Romanian accent. I was confused then, too. I’ve never been to Romania, and I certainly don’t have any Romanian ancestry. Curious.
   

3. She also said that they don’t give discounts to people whose pseudonyms are listed in “Internet Resources of Interest”. Oh well.
   

4. According to our Government class’ definition of nations and states, nation-states are incestuous. That wasn’t a very pretty thought.
   

5. Mr. Spencer, the Government teacher, (no relation) drew a picture of Europe. The class agreed that it was definitely not Europe. It was, in fact, a grazing cow.
   

6. My dad and I had lunch with Mr. Caldwell today. He’s one of my dad’s best friends. I’m getting him to read the Discworld series. I’ve already converted my best friend, Chungy.
   

7. I had dinner with my maternal aunt and uncle. My uncle works for some technology company thing, and he always has the coolest stuff. I’m envious.
