september 7, 2000.

Last night we liberally dispersed some of the stickers that came with my Powerpuff Girls videotape. Now my note-taking folder has Bubbles racing across the inside in a frothy blue streak and Buttercup is on the front, her frown and slogan ("fighting the forces of evil!") neatly topping the Acadia crest. And although they explicitly warned me against putting stickers on my laptop, I think I'm old enough to determine which adhesives would damage the plastic case. Besides which, I know how to use nailpolish remover to get rid of the tell-tale stickiness, so in April no one in the administration should be the wiser.

For the record, I've covered the IBM Thinkpad logo on the front with the girls shooting up from Professor Utonium's hand. And Bubbles zooms to the right of my mouse imputs. It makes me very happy.
