I hate change.

And that, my friends, is likely what this Great Unease is all about.

^ The title of this post was the subject line of an email my mom sent me/Jenny this week…yes it is actually referring to fairytale movies on VHS tapes. But it seemed like a great blog post title, too, even if inaccurate.

Anyway! Happy Wednesday. Somehow my brain is convinced that August has only 29 days (seriously). Obviously…this is not the case, and September is not until Saturday…but this has my paranoid, control-freak mind absolutely SURE that something terrible will happen tomorrow and/or Friday. Since, you know, August sucks. I need to stop thinking this, because I’m sure it could/would become a self-fulfilling prophecy, but, whatever man! So this is your lesson of the day: August has 31 days. The End.

Just kidding. Here is your stalker tip of the day – some amazing reviews of one of my favorite teachers from many moons ago:
Barry Kolbe

My favorite may be this:
“Cool in his own way, a great helper and drawer of circles”

Spot-on! Indeed he was. But they are all pretty great reviews, he was completely underrated in my time. He taught my AB Calc class. Such a fan! Um, as for WHY/how I found this, I won’t even go into it. Long stalker story. THAT is THAT. What a great teacher! “BWK Approved”

Moving along. Continuing our FALL CONCERT SERIES 2012, apparently Smashing Pumpkins are coming back to Twin Cities this fall, oh yes. As Jeff’s Date For Life I am excited to attend this (provided we secure tickets), especially because I kind of love the new album. YEAH! Concert Roll Call: SP, Zelda orchestra thing, Caspian (really Minus the Bear). HOORAY.

Anil Dash just favorited one of my tweets, now I feel famous. (It was about Janet Jackson’s ‘If’, though, so…not really valuable discourse. STILL.) Woo!

Republicans STILL hate women and I STILL hate them for that. Especially Rick Santorum…gross! “Get off the stage before you lose us a million votes / he must be wearing a shock collar…oh wait” -some Repubs agree…

September is STILL the month of birthdays…fun all around!

Happily I heard from our other former Level 10 (Missy) last week!! LOVE IT. She had been traveling the world like a glamor fiend, whoa. Now she is back wanting to do adult gymnastics in the Midwest with me/Diana again. AWWWWWW! Diana: “oh Jesus…I’ll bet her $50 to catch a geinger from my couch.” LOL! We’ll see about all that…

I also heard from one of my sister’s BFFs last eve. It was very nice/gratifying to be able to talk to her and attempt to make her feel OK. I’ve had a lot of unexpected interactions with Jenny’s friends/almost-30-year-olds as of late. 30!

On that note (actually not at all)…adios friends!

ETA: I must now include this amusing line I read today: “Also I’ll hang on to the elephant until if and when you two work out the ownership.” Ha!
