Anyway!
I was reading the CNN headlines on my phone, and lines longer than my screen scroll by at a pace that is equivalent to the release of Guns 'n Roses Chinese Democracy (and I wonder: did I really just go there?). The first headline read "Hundreds flee new rash of Oklahoma..."
Commence: "there's a RASH attributed to Oklahoma?" Although it didn't seem too unreasonable, I changed my mind and concluded it was H5N1 and that I was going to die. Luckily, it's just the raging fires...in Duncan.
PHEW!
I think I should have picked a better topic for my capstone presentation. If anyone else is interested though, feel free to ask me about the decline of rhetoric and, more specifically, oratory documented in Tacitus' Dialogus de Oratoribus. Ten points to the person who doesn't catch narcolepsy.
