Words … Does anybody have any words?
Wait, I think I’ve got it: STUD MUFFIN!
I don’t think the University of Colorado has ever been prouder.
Speechless
2011 University of Colorado Graduation: hats
Turns out, one of the most difficult things about the whole graduation process was finagling that stupid hat onto my head and then coercing it to stay in place.
Criminy!

Advice on achoos
Avoid sneezing at all costs when your mouth is full of oatmeal.
Just sayin’.
(Oh, and for those of you who frequent the University of Colorado’s law school library–you might want to avoid the south side, far left computer on the second floor …)

Earth Day, CU Boulder
Happy Earth Day everyone!
Have you gotten into the festivities yet by planting a tree or recycling something?
One thoughtful group of fraternity brothers at the University of Colorado was kind enough to hand out free coffee and hot chocolate. The vessel in which the liquid was being offered: Styrofoam!
Sigh. Really, guys? You do realize that’s going to go rot in a landfill for the next 873 years, right?

CU Sustainability Awards and the journalist who wants to cover them
Working on a pretty interesting story right now about the University of Colorado’s Green Labs program for the Daily Camera.
Unfortunately, everyone and their brother that I want to talk with is attending the Campus Sustainability Awards.
Congratulations to all of the winners, but please hustle your Earth-saving buns back to your desks. I need to talk to you!
Sigh. What are the freakin’ odds?

Womanly observations
Women living in Boulder have undoubtedly noticed the signs hanging on the backs of bathroom stall doors everywhere, always in prime view while peeing.
“Don’t flush your feminine products down the toilet as this causes clogging, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah.”
That’s old news.
What I find interesting–I’m debating about whether or not to start a spreadsheet in order to compile my data more formally–is the vast assortment of clip art that tends to go along with this particular admonition.
Sometimes it’s one of those female symbols … you know, the one with the circle and the arrow pointing out of it. If this is the case it will be, without fail, in some putrid shade of pink that’s supposed to be womanly, but mostly just makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth.
Other times it will be the standard “no” symbol, that vivid red circle with the line through it. You can use your own imagination regarding what additional clip art object is inserted into the center of said circle.
Last night, however, at CU’s Mackey Auditorium, I saw a decal new to my well trained eye: a hand with four fingers curled into a fist, while the index finger stood up straight. There were little squiggles off to the sides giving the obvious impression that the finger was moving back and forth in a blatant “Do not do this or I will send you to the moon” kind of indication.
They’re definitely getting points on my spreadsheet for creativity.
But what I found especially interesting was the unmistakable gender of that wagging finger: male.
“Odd,” I thought.
Mike, however, pointed out that it was likely to be a man who would be doing the unclogging.
Despite all of my feminist tendencies, I have to relent: Touché.
