Friday I learned that generalized itching without a rash can be a symptom of Hodgkin's lymphoma, so now I'm convinced that I have that.

Saturday I learned that season 3 of The Office is coming out on DVD on September 4. Season 3 was kind of disappointing to me, but I will still buy the DVD. They always have good extras. BUT GUESS WHAT ELSE. 30 Rock also comes out on DVD that day! Now that I'm excited about.

Today I learned the recipe for a "brandy Alexander:" 1.5 ounces of brandy, 1 ounce dark creme de cacao, 1 ounce of half and half or heavy cream, and 1/4 teaspoon of grated nutmeg. Brandy Alexander is also an awesome, awesome song off of Feist's latest CD, The Reminder. Give it a listen.

Remember that episode of The Office when they all went to a bar and played some drinking game about hiding a quarter? I thought they were saying "up chickens" and "down chickens," because I am an idiot, which seriously hindered my finding out what the actual rules of this game are. But thanks to some dumb luck and my generally overly-enthusiastic Office fandom, I finally came across this:

Jenkins, chickens...whatever. Also please note that the link is to a site called childrenparty.com. Haha. I guess Up Jenkins doesn't always have to be a drinking game. It sounds like it could be fun though.
