While hanging a new shower curtain liner yesterday I had a crazy idea.
Why can't I use fabric shower curtains for drapes? They're much less expensive than drapes.
Am I crazy? Surely, this wouldn't work . . . right?

there has been a murder at the GLC (the building I work at on campus).
I am not there, but holy hell.
omg

update 10:00 pm: it happened in the coffee shop, which is part of the public space and around the corner from the front desk. It was an Asian international student who lived at the GLC. The suspect is also an Asian international student who knew the girl.
Why did it have to happen out in the open? That means there were witnesses - people who saw a woman die. No one should have to witness that.
I'm just beside myself.
Part of me wishes I was working b/c I know what death feels like at the GLC as I was there for 4-16, but I also don't know how I would have handled it.
Just the thought of going back is overwhelming. It brings back that horrible April day.

I pass by a Sherwin Williams paint store on my way into work and nearly every morning I think that they really should update their logo.


mmmm who doesn't love a toxic planet covered in paint?
Apparently, they haven't joined the green marketing bandwagon.

this morning while driving into work I saw this car that was going much slower than everyone else on the interstate. As I got closer I saw one of the "Hang Up and Drive" bumper stickers on the car.
Like this:


When I passed said car and looked over, yup, the driver was on her cell phone.

FAIL!

You know, I have it very funny that so many "Green" advertisements use turfgrass.
People go on and on about how horrible golf courses are and how they pollute the streams and kill birds and whatnot. And yet, in green advertisements like the ones below, what crop do they chose? Turfgrass.

BTW, I found these pictures on google image search by typing in "green living"

The truth is that golf courses are strictly regulated on their pesticide and fertilize applications. Truly, the worst polluters are homeowners who think a little bit is good so that means a lot is even better - apparently, they haven't heard of a bell curve.
I could go on and on about the benefits of turf and all landscaping, but I will spare you.

Just something I noticed awhile ago and still chuckle when I see turf in yet another "green" advertisement.

I thought I would do better.
Now I want a skor bar!

I just got a text from VTAlerts saying there were gun shots heard in Pritchard, which is an all male dorm.
