Day 631: Buzz, good news and one

So the new Google Buzz is obviously attempting Facebook-like qualities and I'm trying to decide how I feel about it. So far, I'm using it as much as I used to use Facebook (which isn't much). I'll probably be de-Buzzing myself soon because I can only imagine how much crazier Buzz is going to get.

Anyway, my auspiciously amazing friend Nicki got into her first grad school! I'm sure many more acceptances are on their way but I thought I should share the good news with all ... four of you. Haha, one of whom is Nicki, but that's besides the point.

Lastly, I found this in my e-mail...

 

Hilarious? Yes. True? Most definitely.

...and I found the image to be quite appropriate for life. Applying to schools is a lot like baby-making. It only takes one. For schools, one acceptance removes a lot of stress and pressure. For baby-making, it just takes one good swimmer to latch on to the mothership and a new life begins. More often than not, one isn't the loneliest number so much as the constantly-sought-after-but-not-always-attained number. But, I can see how that wouldn't make such a catchy song.
