the past revisited

A few interesting things happening in the last few days. I was interviewed by Dru Sefton, a correspondent for Newhouse News Service. The Topic? My Favorite Pillow, a blog entry I made a couple of years ago about my nineteen year old pillow and how I was finally giving it up. It’s a little bizarre that blog entries from 2003 are suddenly getting me in touch with interesting people (and you know who you are). Dru is writing an article about the findings of a UK researcher who opened up old pillows and found all sorts of disgusting goodies inside (fungus, etc). Mmmm. Makes me wonder if I was sleeping on muck. To the girl(s) that want to sleep on my pillow(s): I do not own the aforementioned My Favorite Pillow any more! I swear I have four brand new pillows purchased this past July. I’ll show you the receipts. No, really.


In other news, I’m going to post the rest of my Longfellow Elementary School photos. I’ll post student line-ups as best as I can remember them later this weekend. This is an excellent way to see me turn into a cute little nerd in a matter of seconds. Scroll down and be amazed.

Looks like I barely remember any of my third grade classmate names. Did I ever mention the time that Emil (first row) convinced me that it’d be a great idea if we sneaked out of school instead of going to the office for talking in the lunchline? Wow. Bad idea!
