Speaking of Awesome Television

I knew there was a reason I loved Animal Planet.

I'd rather play flip cup

Classy television from our friends in the far east.

Being Bono from the Zoo TV years, and dressing like Bono from the Zoo TV years are very different things.

Yo, Ho, Ho and a Bottle of Rum.

Best. News story. Ever.

Lost

I have NO idea where my car key is.

Now, I know that I've been a bit out of sorts lately, but I don't think I have ever, in my life, legitimately lost my car keys. Sure, sometimes you misplace them, they're in a jacket pocket or under a couch cushion, or maybe even in the freezer (yes, I looked there, too, to no avail), but completely and totally lost? Vanished?

I tried to think back through the last time I used my car (yesterday). I was on campus for a group meeting. I drove home, parked in the driveway, walked into the house, and then... a big, giant blank. None of my roommates has seen them.

Fortunately, I keep a spare right next to the door, but now I am down to one clicker, which just makes me a little nervous. One clicker? What if I lose that one, too?

And worst of all, I'm wondering what's next. If I've become this scatterbrained, what's to say I won't lose something even bigger, like say a school book, or a whole purse, or even Casey??

Actually, I did, in fact, lose my wallet on my way home from vacation this year. Phone, credit cards, debit cards, blood donor card... all of it. I left it sitting on the toilet paper dispenser in a gas station bathroom just south of Richmond, Va., and didn't discover it was missing until I had a massive frosty craving two hours later. Fortunately for me, a nice lady in the bathroom brought the phone to the attendent, who got about tracking me down by calling just about everyone in my address book. The best part of all was calling my family, still in South Carolina, and learning that they knew I'd lost it before I did.

The point isn't that I'm completely absentminded. The point is that the key is AWOL! Does anybody know where to look? What happens if I dropped it outside, and someone scoops it up and starts my car and drives away? Thank God it's a stick--I'm betting criminals drive only automatics.
