When I went to the student union a little while ago to buy half-caff. iced coffee and a "wite-out" pen to make my life a little easier (*), I noticed a woman who was wearing a floppy hat with feather along with a chemise, skirt, and bodice. I hope she was on her way to a Renn fair or SCA event or LARP something and not just traipsing around BU with unnecessary layers on a hot day because she's all whimsical and free-spirited and because the thrill she gets when people stare at her anachronistical threads is the only joy she has in life.

Of course, 15 years ago I would have probably tried to make friends with her. But that was then.

Two AP headlines in a row that look like they're from The Onion:

"Schwarzenegger Convenes Economic Summit."

"Ashcroft Begins Patriot Act Tour."

Headlines that actually are from The Onion this week:

"U.N. Factoid-Finding Mission Discovers Liberia About The Size Of Tennessee."

"Bush Diagnosed With Attention-To-Deficit Disorder."
