"This mask is killing me!"
In honor of the fact that I am going to see The Phantom of the Opera [the current longest running show] on Broadway this weekend, I am posting this video of Will Ferrell on Letterman that I found randomly. He would make a funny Phantom, though I have a soft spot for Gerard Butler. Mmm, Gerard Butler. That movie version was hot buttered crap though.

What's the buzz?/Tell me what's happening
(Title of this post is a shout out to Agent 99!)
The building shut off the AC for some reason. The heat isn't on either. Anyway, during the day, I decided to open my window for some refreshing natural air, and a bug must've chosen to pay me a visit, as I had a buzzing guest 'round my head last night while attempting to sleep. The critter showed me affection by biting me three times on my hands. Why? What have I done wrong in my past life to warrant this? It's fall and not summer too, so all biting insects need to die off. I don't know what the bug was, but I looked it up, and I think it's a midge? Entomology is not my strong suit. Maybe Parker can assist me insect identification. Black, bitty, biting, buzzing.
On an irrelevant note, I was typing up a homework assignment and misspelled a word. Microsoft Word suggested I meant to type "peen" which sounds rather vulgar. I looked it up at dictionary.com and found out it is the opposite end of the hammer from the end you use to get nails into things. I guess you learn something new every day.

Terrible ten rude behaviors
While on JHU's website (don't ask why!), I stumbled upon this list of Terrible Ten Rude Behaviors. My comments are in italics.
1. Discrimination in an employment situation.
2. Erratic/aggressive driving that endangers others.
All right, I'll fess up that I have been guilty of this one. But not much now, as I am vehicle-free, the way to be.
3. Taking credit for someone else's work.
I'm pretty sure that I don't do this.
4. Treating service providers as inferiors.
I know how much patience is involved in providing service. Manners are key on both ends.
5. Jokes or remarks that mock another's race/gender/age/disability/sexual preference or religion.
Is it bad if you mock your own race/gender/age/etc?
6. Children who behave aggressively or who bully others.
As a former meek child, I actively dislike aggressive children and aggressive adults for that matter. Gah.
7. Littering (including trash, spitting, pet waste).
That's what trash cans are for!
8. Misuse of handicapped privileges.
Terrible!
9. Smoking in non-smoking places or smoking in front of non-smokers without asking.
As a non-smoker, this bugs me to no end.
10. Using cell phones or text messaging in mid-conversation or during an appointment or meeting.
Oh gosh, how bothersome. I've done it a few times by accident. Can we add distracted drivers to this point?
In other news, I got a flu shot today, and you should too!
