- Dad got mustard on his beard, right under his bottom lip in the white part, and even after vigorous wiping, it was still stained yellow. I looked at it the entire dinner time. It reminded me of Tasty Pete's sloppy beard.
- Mom was talking about pop stars at dinner one evening, and for some reason she started talking about Beyonce, only she pronounced it "bee-yon-ss." It. was. so. funny. Later that evening, she tried to teach me how to properly pronounce the ladies name "Dawn." As it turns out, I cannot do it, and I wage you Texas kids can't either.
- During the course of my studies I stumbled upon www.sewerhistory.org. It's weirdly interesting and engrossing. Also in the course of my studies I found out about a condition/disease called "Toxic Megacolon." I hope I don't get it.
- Continuing on this train of thought, I went to see Lawrence of Arabia with mom and dad at the Paramount, during the course of which I warred against that very nemisis, Toxic Megacolon, in an historic bathroom. But here's the truth about that movie: I don't get it.
- Lastly, I have found out about a wonderful new activity. Once a month, a group of people gather at Fort Griffith State Park to star watch. Some people have enormous telescopes that they bring out and share. I cannot wait until next month because there is a supernova happening! I've been thinking about buying a good telescope kit but decided I shouldn't spend money, but just today I received an unexpected, enormous check from the city of Austin (I really don't know what it's for), so I might just do it. Dad got really excited when I asked if he'd help me build it. In preparation for my life as a stargirl, I've just returned from checking out several books at the library on astronomy, though I honestly don't expect my skills to advance beyond being able to identify the Big Dipper.
Space is just amazing.

If you have an iphone, you should definitely pick up the Star Walk app. Its worth the couple bucks.
