Well, I thought it was about time.
I'm not ashamed to admit I've read every blog, that the second AKS sent us the blogger email however many Saturdays ago, I clicked to the site to lap up all the goings-on from Kansan folk. And since I've been biding my time. Today, trodding up to the newsroom to do a final desk-clear, I figured was as good a time as any.
And while I scrubbed the UDK-grime from the desk that will inevitably be re-grimed in a few days times, I discovered thus:
* The Post-it with "Send AKS to George Strait" that once stuck to the "Schooner Fund" pig
* My Vaupelesque to-do list for San Francisco. Included, "1)Make more corrections to Style Guide, 2) Google 'sanfran strip clubs' (for AKS) and 'sanfran dance clubs' (for Vaupel) 3) stay up all night." one of those proved to be a very, very big mistake.
* AKS's doodle/scratch paper with crystal-ball predictions on her future last name: "Amanda Kim Shaad, Amanda Kim Land, Amanda Kim Atkinson, Amanda Kim Rains ..."
* 27 packs of pepper, 11 packs of diijon mustard, at least 6 dozen napkins and two forks. (One with the prongs snapped off.) Thank you, Underground.
* Three-week old salsa from Carlos O'Kelly's. Disgusting to some, but oh-so-tasty when getting you through wretched Insider's Guide mornings ...
* Due dates for the 100 Years of the Kansan ... created in Feb., with run dates in May. Ah, dreams.
* A Steve Vockrodt "For Vaupel's Eyes Only" letter. In my bottom drawer.
* The last Kansan budget (which I'm keeping) and a crumbled Last Press Club poster (also keeping ...) Ah, sigh.

and yeah, i got a little sentimental pawing through all the budgets, papers, budget lines and scraps of reminders with things like "call so-and-so about the thingy-thing," which, i can only assume, didn't happen. but i still have my keys (not givin'em back just yet, Vaupel) and AKS, i DO plan to do steal that thing from vaupel and put it in that stuff we talked about. i'll post pictures. in the meantime, i'm fighting the woefully unemployed fight and looking for Quotes of the Day. And now that I've "broke the blog," i'll make sure to throw up bold flashing blog lines when i join the grad ranks and get a job. Until then,
TSIK (is that it, Kealing?): 1 hour
such a sucker.

Or you could just edit your blog and fix it. You have heard of editing, haven't you, M?

I'd just like to say that DONOVAN is the one who wrote my crystal ball husband predictions!

hehe, i can't believe there are only two forks left. Ash and I must have taken at least a couple hundred during the semester... The Underground never saw it coming. :P
