Friday Random Ten--Pre-Hiatus Edition

This blog thing will probably be mostly on hiatus while Wild Thing and I visit the Midwestern branch of the extended clan. I can't wait to get out of this maritime climate and sit baking in that good ol' 95 F heat.

If anything particularly interesting happens and assuming I can remember my blogger password, perhaps I'll sign in once or twice, but otherwise look for a report on the trip sometime after June 21. This summer promises to offer increased levels of cuteness, and as I enter the final stages of dissertating I'll be looking for new and improved ways to procrastinate, so I should be posting a bit more often once I get back.

In the meanwhile, here's this week's instalation of the love-it-or-hate-it-or-just-don't-care-about-it random ten.
