I hate GRE prep.

Weren't SATs and SAT IIs and APs enough for you, ETS? I've paid my dues. I'm spending way too much time being made to feel like a moron for not knowing how to untangle your accursed word-based math puzzlers and geometrical riddles. I have done nothing to deserve this.

Well. Actually. I suppose an interest in grad school is enough to warrant its own knock on the head--but I'd rather it be done by those who don't profit from my misery, or at least are nice enough to keep their profit hidden.

In other news, I may have a reason to switch my voter registration back to North Carolina. Heart you, state legislature.

Have you ever looked really closely at your shower curtain?

Half of our shower curtain is covered by novel cartoon frogs wearing various fanciful articles of clothing, hats, expressions etc. And as I was showering earlier today, I took a moment to examine what I guess was intended to be a hippie frog, or a 60s-to-70s transition frog, wearing a gold medallion bearing a peace sign. Thing was, when you looked closely at the peace sign, you notice that instead of completing the line that goes all the way down the center, like so:
...the design omitted it, resulting in this:



In other words, the frog on my shower curtain is wearing the Mercedes Benz sign.
