I’ve been perusing real estate brokers for rentals for the last few hours just to stay abreast of some of the pricing. Ones that I’m using include:

I stumbled over an article published today about how Starbucks can actually help mom-and-pop coffee shops by opening stores nearby. However, in reading the article, it becomes quite clear that the author has never seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail:

Thankfully, Libby doesn’t wake me up in the mornings. (Thanks, Jenni!)
Since I still have an active staff account, I still get e-mails sent to staff and faculty members, hence why I’m able to post them. If they didn’t want me to do so, they should’ve killed my account when they had the chance!

Would you guess that Becoming a Man in 127 Easy Steps is the name of an upcoming play for Evergreen’s Performing Arts program?
Since I’m a member of Northwest Airline’s WorldPerks program after flying with them earlier this year, I get fairly routine marketing e-mails where they try to get me to spend the miles I’ve saved so far. Today’s e-mail had the following gem (emphasis added):
Use as few as 50,000 of your 5,052 miles towards the air portion of your WorldVacations package to Asia.
Seesh. A simple if(numMiles < 50,000) { do_not_send_email(); } would have sufficed…
