A great mystery of this election solved

The Wasilla, Alaska, Wal-Mart reportedly sells more duct tape than any other Wal-Mart in the state. I had a funny feeling I knew why...

And I may be right. There's an SCA Barony in the vicinity.

*waits for the media to find out and descend upon fighter practice*

Good news

I just received mail from the graduate program at UNL-Lincoln: they put most of their weight on the Verbal and Analytical sections of the GRE, not the Quantitative, so I can relax if I get a crummy math score. Now I can have breakfast and relax instead of killing myself trying to relearn geometry in the next two hours. ;)

Also, the electrician is coming later this morning to replace two damaged light bulbs, fix the overhead light in the kitchen, and check a possibly damaged outlet in the bathroom. Thank goodness!

GRE results

Verbal: 760
Quantitative: 460
Analytical: unknown because the essays are scored by humans

I'm not very happy with the Quantitative, but I spoke with someone at UNL who assured me that they don't put much weight on the Quantitative section for an otherwise qualified candidate. So once again my mad verball skillz will save my sorry behind compensate for the fact that switching from New Math to Old Math when I was ten basically wrecked my maths my weak math skills.

In other news, the dead outlets and broken lightbulbs are fixed on the house. It took the electrician all of forty-five minutes, and now I have a usable bathroom outlet again. Go me. :)
