Thirteen Things to study instead of the 1933 and 1934 Securities Acts

1. The tiles on the ceiling
2. How my mouse cord got so knotted up
3. The slightly rough edge on the back of one of my teeth that my tongue keeps rubbing against
4. The blinking light on my wireless ethernet card
5. The sound of other people turning pages
6. Why there's so much dust in the little holes in my laptop speakers
7. How slowly the sun seems to set if you watch it through the window
8. My fingernails
9. The fingernails of the person sitting across from me in the library
10. Why the air conditioning vent is shaped that way
11. Whether I can make it to Ben & Jerry's before "Free Cone Day" ends at 8:00, and whether there'll be a long line
12. The zipper on my backpack. Zip open. Zip closed. Zip open. Zip closed.
13. The "No New Messages" message in the corner of my Outlook Express :)
