"Garfield is known for hating Mondays despite the fact that he has no job."

The above quote is from the Wiki article about Mondays. I thought this was the most important take-away point from the entire page. In celebration of that lasagne-loving cat, a Monday afternoon short list:

1) Remember those ladies who used to ask you to do surveys at the mall? I suppose the internet made them obsolete, but they'll always have a special place in my heart (mainly because my heart is eternally devoted to 1980's marketing ploys and tv sitcoms). They carried around clip boards and would hassle you while you strolled around the mall. Unlike most people, ten-year-old me thought these survey ladies were awesome, so I always tried to talk my mom into agreeing to take the surveys. The one time she finally broke down and did the survey, I was lucky enough to tag along and commit the entire experience to vivid memory. They led mom and I into a little room in the back of the mall. We had to watch five trailors for the third installment of "Alien" and tell which ones were our favorites. I felt like we were in on a big secret. Years later, I discovered to my dismay that Aliens 3 actually sucked. Big time sucked.

2) This made me laugh.

3) Today in the Trib, they ran a story about a 19 year old college student who hit by a drunk driver and died over the weekend. It was one of those typically depressing stories about what a good person she was, but her dad said something that creeped me out: "My daughter was the epitome of innocence." Please dad, if I die prematurely, don't tell people I was the epitome of innocence. I would be totally embarrassed... from BEYOND THE GRAVE!!!
