A Few Things

Firstly, since Sarah Palin was given the vice presidential nomination all the recessive “Fargoesque” aspects of my voice have come to the fore. I have always pronounced “bag” and “beg” the same way but since all of this news coverage I’ve caught myself saying “Eh?” more than a few times in a very disturbing way. This hilarious video of comedienne Sara Benincasa imitating Sarah Palin should give you an idea of just how bad my accent can get when its reinforced.

Secondly, I helped my mother haul a mattress home from Sam’s club the other day. After several pretty outrageous circumstances that involved me holding onto the mattress while leaning out of the car for almost an hour, I used my cramped hands to undo the bungee cord that held it in place. Well, funny thing. The cord slipped out of my hands, hit me straight between the eyes, and snapped my glasses in half and left me feeling pretty concussed. I realize this was a sign from God that I am supposed to “man up” and get moving on Gray Bolt.

Also, why is it that every time I embed a video the spacing gets screwed up for all paragraphs following the video? I would really like to know this.
