- The campus snack bar, The Hub, serves only Pepsi fountain products. This is as it should be, and will help slake my thirst for knowledge. And also, general thirst. And caffeine.
- The well-meaning, officially sanctioned group out on the Old Main lawn just now, arms linked, singing "If I had a hammer . . ." Let's just say that if I indeed had a hammer, there would be less singing.
- I now have a locker in the basement of Drew Science. My locker number is B36. Feel free to post Way2Go! and Goodluckatthegame,dude! posters on it.
- We may be getting our first paper back in LitCrit in 20 minutes. I'm nervous about that, though not as nervous as I am about the one I'm about to turn in.
- My team rocked in Deutsch Jeopardy today. As our score hit 1400, one mouthy freshman yelled out, "Their score is almost approaching Scott's age!" My age is a big hit in German I.

people who sing in public, whether officially sanctioned, good natured etc usually make me want to throw hammers as well...
perhaps if you felt like acting your age, you could put up a sign on the lawn "STAY OFF THE GRASS", and that would stop the singing as well...
Ahh, Deutsch Jeopardy! I used to have my students play that at Princeton. I'd always throw in a couple fun topics like "Name that Nazi," or "Little House on the Prairie." The students seemed to love it, but it was a lot of work for me to set up the categories, and if half the class was absent the day of the game, I always felt pissy.
Au contraire, mon ami. Other than tea brewed by moi-meme, Diet Coke™ is the elixir of life.
I think this warrants a poll of the readership. We could solve The Question of Beverages by use of democracy.
Sing along with me:
I'd like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees, and snow white turtle doves.
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony,
I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company.
It's the real thing, Coke is what the world wants today.
Huh. Apparently Deb had a long day.
See her running away, trying to dodge the flying hammers?
