Last night I had the proverbial "Eraser" thrown at my head.* I love to use the word "proverbial" even when a proverb isn't even involved. I think it's interesting that a pronoun, is a part of speech that takes the place of a noun. But a proverb, isn't a part of speech and does not replace a verb, actually it's not even a word but a phrase or anecdote or religious teaching. I love to use the word "draconian" which I was told I shouldn't use because it is overused. I think Anne Coulter uses it. Have you seen the cover of her latest book? She's wearing a leather vest. That is not very conservative of her. Actually, it's downright slutty. And she has her hands on her hips pushing out her molehill like breasts. She's gross. I bet she has bird flu. I also like it when people use metaphors, and they don't know they are even metaphors. Or maybe if you use a metaphor so much it just becomes cliche and takes on a different meaning. For example, the phrase "litmus test" which is derived from litmus paper that changes color when exposed to acid or base, depending on the paper. The active ingredient in litmus paper is Erythrolitmin. Just learned that. Anyway, the term litmus test in reference to politics is so overused, I doubt people know what a real litmus test is. But it's a metaphor, because using a position on abortion as an indicator is not really a litmus test because it doesn't involve acids or bases. They're comparing a certain issue or idea as an indicator to litmus paper. It just annoys me when metaphor is overrused. Or unclever metaphor is used often.
Anway, an eraser flew at my head. And it isn't even finals yet!
I watched this movie called "Issues 101" which was bad. That's ok. It was interesting. There was one part where there was an election for Student Body President and this guy walks up to vote and the woman taking the votes says, "How's it hanging, Chad?" It was the funniest thing in the movie. I assume it was intentionally punny, but who knows.
There have been a ton of indictments lately. Some guy from Toledo involved in "Coingate" was indicted for lying and giving people money to give to Republican races in Toledo. I don't know what it has to do with coins exactly, but stop it with the gate thing. Oh, and Scooter got indicted and quit. Too bad, Rove didn't get indicted too. Harriett Meiers quit. We do not need anyone named Harriett anywhere near the Supreme Court. Sulu is gay. And there is a Tropical Storm Beta out there, and the hurricane season isn't even over until November 30! We could go up to Tropical Storm Kappa or something!

* "Eraser thrown at my head" was not in reference to getting drunk or anyting like that. It refers actually to a past event of mammoth proportions. You may have even felt the after-effects in your town or habitat.
