1. Simba turns 13 some time this month. He doesn't look a day over 11.

2. I can't even remember what movie we're supposed to be reviewing over at that other blog.

3. Congratulations to Verlinda on her upcoming retirement, even though she's too young to get an AARP card at this point.

4. Congratulations to my grandparents on their 64th Wedding Anniversary next week. Sorry, no link. My grandfather's LJ account got yanked due to the copyright holder complaining about his slash pairings. (But here's a link to a post about how they met.)

5. I've never liked the word dirigible.

6. Obama as president would be great for this country, better than Hillary will be for this country. However, either would be so much better than a thug as president of this country at this juncture in our history that I'm willing to forgive any problems I have with a Hillary nomination. Why can't everyone be as logical as me? Why do they hate America so?!?

7. Why do people always feel obligated to have ten items on a list such as this?

8. See above.

9. Working at the bookstore is hard financially. We're all allowed a "stash" to store stuff we want to buy, and we get a good (50%) discount on almost everything (exceptions: nostalgia and DVDS, which are only a measly 20%). My goal is to break even, meaning not spend more than I earn there.

10. The Cubs broke my heart again this year, but what else is new.

11. C i n d y and I are having trouble agreeing on a boy name (and no, this is just an intellectual exercise at this point). She likes names like Declan and Rowan. I want a normal name that people won't giggle at during attendance taking at school, yet I don't want it so drab and plain that it's "Michael" or something. Any suggestions?
