Potpourri No. 2

Tidbits o' the week:

• I was lightly hit by a car today. Well, we kind of hit each other. The driver wasn't stopping fast enough, but because she was slowing down, I thought she had seen me. When I noticed out of the corner of my eye that she was getting rather close, I figured she was just trying to be a jerk and make me nervous (I hadn't really seen her yet to see if she was sporting an attitude). When the car just kept coming, I realized it was not going to stop. I did a little jump/dance backward and fell over into a leaning position on her hood. All in all, she looked more distraught than I felt. If it weren't for my post yesterday, I'd be tempted to call her both a jerk and an idiot! But I'll refrain...
  
• Melanie just got over strep throat yet again. Somehow I've managed never to catch it, even despite our incessant kissing. How lucky can you get?
• Has anyone tried Hershey's new Take5 candybar? If you haven't, rush out and buy one today! It's absolutely nummy!
• Since you're going out anyway, why not stop for dinner at Ruth's Diner? C'mon, folks, I can't promote this place enough! Melanie and I went there for Valentine's Day (a couple of days early, technically) for the second year in a row. They have never failed me in their absolute delectability! I dare say their special of the day--a pesto pasta with chicken breast, mushrooms, and bell peppers (and onions, if you're into that sort of thing)--was absolutely scrumptious! Better yet, why not enhance your dining experience and take me along with you? Double your pleasure!
• I had two tests earlier this week. I got 96% on my Greek test, an absolute miracle given the scope of the test (a blogworthy experience in and of itself). As for my Deductive Logic class, I was one of five in the class to get 100%. Kudos to me!
• I just can't get enough indie rock lately. Quite literally, I've hardly listened to any music in the past two months other than the following: Hayden, Kings of Convenience, The Shins, Iron and Wine, Damien Rice, Lambchop, The New Pornographers, Death Cab for Cutie, Elliott Smith, and The Stills. There's not a loser in the bunch, so check your local library and give them all a listen!
  

Ciao for now!
