Overdue Fees

Yesterday I got something in the mail. From the library. And it said something along the lines of "Your book has been overdue for more than 28 days" which made me freak, then I remembered I'd checked it out before we left for somewhere and totally forgotten about it. Whoops. 'At least they only charge a dime a day, I mean, I can probably dig up 2.80 in change' I thought to myself, and then I continued reading the notice. What was the fine? $17.99. 18 dang dollars. I went temporarily insane, raving about how they never called or emailed me about the book, and it would probably cost less to claim that I'd lost the book and pay THAT instead of 18 dollars. So I hunted it down, searched all over my room, found it under a pile of school crap on my dresser, and checked the price: $17.99. So. That actually made sense… yeah. I'm hoping to have that straightened out tomorrow soon, tomorrow I'm getting my wisdom teeth out. But it reminded me of my favorite comic strip, Pearls Before Swine:



Yeah, pretty much.

It's 3am...

and I just died laughing:

why? Because it is 3am.

P.S. I wrote an entire post about a tour of a biochemical research lab I went on last Thursday, and it magically disappeared from everywhere-I know because I've spent the last several days looking everywhere for it. Yeah.

Too Much Caffeine

I can relate to Stephan* here....

*Stephan Pastis is the author of this comic strip, Pearls Before Swine. He puts himself in the strip sometimes (as in the last panel) :). And for those who don't quite get it, the comic isn't normally that... shaky XD.
