This break, I read God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian by Kurt Vonnegut and Defining Dulcie by Paul Acampora. I also began reading Pure and Reading the OED.

a) Ticket acquisition process
On Monday afternoon I was on the Daily Show website and saw that they had tickets available for the next day’s show. So I signed up for one, yay.

Spring Break 2009: Part I
Since I have failed to blog regularly throughout Spring Break despite my plans to do so, this will be a doozy. A two-parter, even. Here is a list of events I will address; feel free to skip around and read only what interests you:
1. Parental visit to NYC (not including their visit to my school, which will be described separately)
2. Trip to DC/Northern Virginia
3. My visit to Fox Mill ES
4. Adventures in Reston, VA

Scones
The scones I love best are always getting discontinued. My local Starbucks no longer has cinnamon chip scones. The Green Bean, my neighborhood “healthy” bakery/lunch place, no longer has vegan chocolate chip scones. (I’m not vegan, but the vegan scones are saltier for some reason, and I prefer my chocolate chip scones on the salty side.)
All of these changes are giving me trust issues. It’s like, I’m afraid to fall in love with a scone, because i never know when it’ll be wrested away from me forever. Oh my beloved scones, why do you keep leaving me?
I’m not talking to you, Starbucks Oat and Fruit. You’ll do in a pinch, but– no offense– I just don’t think we’re meant to be.
