I learned today that Oprah Winfrey got her ears pierced for the first time this week, at age 51. I've always been conflicted about ear piercing, myself. Pros: I think earrings look nice and I think I would look nice with earrings. Robin always tells me that I should get my ears pierced because I can't wear most other jewelry. And that way I can get hypothetical future boyfriends to buy me jewelry. Ahem. Cons: I kind of enjoy being the only mutant freaktard who doesn't have pierced ears. I bask in attention. :-\ I'm afraid of infection! I'm not...

As we were driving up from Virginia today, we stopped for dinner at the Big Boy in Bowling Green, Ohio (hello, Sheila). Near the exit, they had a pile of free newspapers called The Hamster Mat. There isn't much identifying this newspaper, who makes it, or where it...

I am morbidly fascinated. My roommate has been having hearing problems for the past week or so and today she finally went to the health center to have it checked out. This was especially urgent because several members of RHA had been speculating that she had a punctured eardrum, an infection, or maybe just some insects living in there and laying eggs. Ha ha. It's fun to scare the roommate. They flushed out her ears and all kinds of lovely crap fell out. Not beans, obviously, but enough solidified chunks of earwax to sink a battleship, if you had an...
