Uncomfortable topic of the week... facebook, including facebook whores, de-tagging, profiles, stalking, sabotage, etc. Jess makes it through the first hour solo (with guest D6-er, Lizz), Lauren shows up eventually, and Kate... not dead (alive but absent!!).

Lauren is really lame for not joining the blog yet. She's too cool for the internet apparently (as she just got AIM last semester). People in Oklahoma are still used to the cup attached to a string form of communication.

I want to make this an mp3 blog, but am too sick to really put my mind to it right now. I can host songs at yousendit.com or mac.com... apparently. More later.

Fun Ambrose Bierce (JournalIST) Fact: he went on a Civil War battlefield tour when he was in his seventies . . . somehow this turned into him joining Pancho Villa's army, and disappearing, never to be heard from again . . . what a difference the AARP makes . . .

Fun Benito Mussolini (FacIST) Fact: he was hung upside down at a gas station with his mistress on a meat hook after they'd both been shot

Fun Fransico Franco (Kate and Lauren's Favorite FacIST) Fact: sadly, nothing but this alliteration
