Natalia's class is doing that thing where you sell wrapping paper and peanut brittle and stuff to earn prizes. This morning she brought me the catalog to see if I wanted to buy anything. I pointed to one of the kids on the front cover and asked, "How much is that?"

She gave me a look that said, "Quit fooling around", and I retorted, "What? I need a personal slave!" Her expression grew horrified, and I looked down and realized the kid I was pointing at was black. Oh my. :) Damn you, blacks, for ruining a totally hilarious joke with your slavery!

Last weekend I went to Charleston to visit Jessie. She was having a "Periodic Table Of The Elements" party. The idea for the party is genius, and I had an idea for a fun costume (the excitingly historied-Seaborgium", interpreted as a robotic sea monster) but I ended up not having time to put it together. Jessie took me to Party City and we settled on a Noble Gas. The day was saved.

Originally the plan was for Meg and Meej to make the drive from Clemson for the party, but Meej ended up having schoolwork to do, so they couldn't make it.
