• Class: Last day with reading.
• Thesis
• I picked it up and they had bound it upside down! Fortunately, it didn't take long to fix. After that I went to deposit it and there was only one error. Then I was finished! All done!
• Renter's Insurance: Went to get it.
• New House: Went to get the keys to our new rental place.

  I was trying to decide whether or not to go to Sabrina's wedding, but I was just so tired and there wasn't anyone to go with me.

• Class
• Probably should have cancelled it, but I didn't want to cop out. I was pretty delirious, but I made it through.
• Last Edits
• The abstract took me so long to do, especially for something so little. After that I finally got my thesis to the printers.
• Mall

• When Zachary Beaver Came to Town

• Good strange movie about a fat boy who was born in New Jersey and part of a sideshow who makes friends with some boys from Texas. I always enjoy movies that incorporate childrens' perspectives.

I survived a very dangerous trip today—I went to Wal-Mart.

I've been on the hunt for half-size index cards lately, and I thought they might have them at Wal-Mart. Even though I didn't buy anything at Wal-Mart last year, and I have the same resolution this year not to shop there, I decided this was serious enough business to give them a chance.

I didn't get that tense when I walked through the doors, but I did have this irrational fear that I would be spotted at any moment, setting off alarms and summoning security guards to hoist me out. Fortunately, I was able to complete my mission without being identified as an anti-Wal-Mart operative, and I was both happy and sad that they did not have half-size index cards.

It really was strange being in there. Something about it looked different than the last time I went into a Wal-Mart, possibly over a year ago. It struck me as cavernous and disorienting, but above all, hideously synthetic.

• Class: Race and biology.
• Thesis: Put all my bibliographical information into Endnote.

• Moe's: Talked to Mike Reed about how strange religion is.

• UU Forum: "Humanists must stand against pernicious things, and magic is pernicious."
• It's very interesting to me that this very atheistic humanist thread can coexist under the same unitarian universalist umbrella as the more spiritual people that attend the services.

• Thesis at Home: Accompanied by some The Hills and Making the Band.
