Uh.

* What is the antonym for serendipity? I've been trying to figure this out, yet I can't seem to track down the right word, if there even is one. Maybe it's something obvious...like "Tuesday."
* I have discovered the importance of a good pair of black dress shoes. I'm usually not a person who would care about such things--frankly, I couldn't be bothered--but this conclusion comes to me as I see the soles of my favorite black shoes wear down and give the subtle suggestion that they're beginning peel off. These aren't old shoes, and they weren't necessarily cheap, so it is rather surprising. I'd like these shoes to last a while...they were uncomfortable for a while but now fit like a glove, and who'd want to see that effort go to waste.
* It's just occurred to me that I've yet to hear anyone cut the grass here. It's been nine months, and grass doesn't cut itself, so now I'm curious. It's a fairly sizable yard, front and back. Of course, now that I think of it, it's rather obvious. I'm gone ten hours a day...it clearly must be a heretofore unseen herd of sheep.
