correction: i recall that a few days ago when i posted my last blog about the red grapes i said that the grapes' kidneys fail due to the large amounts of alcohol that some of them consume (or become). i meant liver. i know what you were thinking: "haha fool! red grapes don't have kidneys!" yes i know. i meant liver.

four quarts. every day. according to a recent study, the average person swallows four quarts of snot a day. i did not actually read this study but heard some ecstatic customers in starbucks remarking about it the other day while they were reading the daily newspaper. wow. that's a lot of snot. there are a couple of things i would like to know. number one, i would like to know where i fall on the snot-swallowing spectrum. if four quarts a day is an average, there must be people who far exceed the average. and, is there a guiness record set for this yet? because i think this is one i would like to work on. additionally, i would like to know how this measurement is taken. did some nobel prize-winner invent the snot-o-meter? and, if so, how does it work? let me know if you know the answers to these questions.

this brings us to another subject. jeanna and i are rock stars. yesterday we drilled holes into walls and put up bookshelves and kissing pictures. today we measured and hacksawed non-adjustable (stoopid ikea) curtain rods and put those up. then jeanna was a rock star by herself while she did something cool and unexplainable with this shimmery gold fabric i found and made them into curtains. when i get more kissing pictures up i will take pictures and post them somewhere so you can see how freaking cool my room looks. i feel so domesticated. i want to be on trading spaces.

earlier today jeanna and i went to the Y to work out, and we were noticing that in the little mirrored stretching area where we both do our free weight routines that there are an ever-increasing amount of those exercise balls you do stuff on. i can't remember the technical name for them. but whatever. it seems as though every time we go to the Y there are more of them there. i don't think i've ever seen more than two people using them at any given time, and i think there were about 10 of those suckers in the area. and i'm pretty sure they don't have classes in that room. it's pretty small. my theory? that the balls are mating and that the youngsters aren't old enough to separate from their parents. our Y is a ball baby factory.

i have to go do some homework, but i want to congratulate brother luck for winning the second round of their BOTB! the final round is being determined by an online vote, so i need all of you who read this to support them. like right now. go here, click on the box next to brother luck after you listen to their sample and realize that they are freaking awesome (or just take my word for it and click on the box), and then check your email right away and click on the link that hard rock emailed you to confirm your vote. you can vote once for every email address you have. i think it ends tomorrow, so hurry up!!!
