shit list

for lack of any exciting or even marginally interesting occurrences in my own life (my weekend included a AMS-SW meeting in huntsville, where apparently they execute people. interesting discussions of madrigals and performance practice, but i think the most striking moment of the day was when we passed a small horse farm--they breed "small horses" (ponies? miniature horses? i don't know)--on the way back to austin and i realized that i in fact, did not dream about small horse farms on the drive up (we left at 5:30 am). it was reassuring to me that my subconscious didn't construct a small horse farm) okay, sorry, i'll stop with the parentheses. i shall borrow material from david's slightly more exciting existence. what better than spending a lovely sunday afternoon coming up with a shit list? david's list as follows:
-people who drink bone dry cappuccinos
-women who work out at curves
-women who work out at curves and then proceed to round off their work out at the krispy kreme next door
-dueling pianos
i would add to this list:
-the use of latin phrases in casual conversation. as in: cheese is the sine qua non of a good meal. shut up.
-similarly, the gratuitous use of acroynms or abbreviations. exempli gratia, PoMo. yes, it's short for postmodernism. fired.
-the fact that it's almost 11 am and i'm still in bed eating tiny cupcakes.

odds and ends: so i don't even have words.
