I love reading the translations of instructions. Doesn’t matter if they’re for the proper use of a lamp or how to construct a bookshelf. Whenever I come across and instruction manual or guide sheet that has both French and English on it, I always read the French and compare it to the English. I figure that this helps me in two ways: it reinforces/rebuilds what I learned about registers in my Continue reading →

I brought what’s left of a head of lettuce in to work today to eat as a snack. Sometimes I can’t believe the number of people who stop and poke their heads into my office when they see what I’m eating just to ask, “Is that lettuce? Are you eating it like an apple?” Half the time I reply with: “Yes, it’s lettuce. Yes, I’m eating it like an apple. Yes, I do this often. I am normal.” But sometimes Continue reading →

This could just be me, and knowing my own particular brand of insanity, I’m leaning towards some of this is just me whereas normal people have watered-down varieties of this, but sometimes I just have these spontaneous urges to do random shit. Like I was reading through blogs and my eye caught the nail polish on my desk and I suddenly imagined picking up the bottle, opening it, and Continue reading →

Okay, the world isn’t insane enough. Here’s something to make it more insane: Squirrel Fishing. Oh yeah, the world needs more squirrel fishermen and women. Heather and I are thinking about trying this out our office window. We just gotta get us some nuts (or become nuts, hehe).

      When one is with an umbrella, one thinks only of the umbrella and not one’s environs else the umbrella may be snatched away by the frivolous wind or, if not lost to the gusts, be inverted and Continue reading →

Behold, the creation of a warped mind! It is genius, pure and simple genius which has brought this image of great importance to light! Behold the tenebrous lines, the ancilliary blue, the erudite marshmallowy message! All hail the wondrous right-handed arm-hand thing which has created such a monstrous beauty! Can your bereaved minds and sallacious souls suckle at the spittle of it? Continue reading →

I’ve read the history of the Post-it Note somewhere before, but I don’t feel like finding it and linking it here for the purposes of making an amusing yet educational post. Rather, I’ll ramble and you suffer, k? K. At any rate, I was looking at my desk rather than working on the thesis (Damn you, writer’s block, damn you!), and I realized that half of it is covered with Post-it Notes (Yes, Continue reading →

What sort of technocological adfantges hoobyjoobs will they come up with next? Lookit! It’s Gahooyoogle!!! And um, the spelling crazy is from lack of brain cells and lots of silly inside jokes with Holly about not being able to speak right, like saying stuff like “tumescence” wrong and “redding wing” and stuff like that. Bleah. Go Gahooyoogle something! Make it your new pick-up Continue reading →

Cold sucks. I don’t care what people say about “Well when you’re cold you can always put more clothes on but when you’re hot you can’t take anymore off” because that’s a bunch of bullshit. I never get so hot that I feel horrible rotten sick whatever. I don’t get too hot; it’s just not possible. At least, not here in Hoosier-land with its 90 degree whether and 100% humidity. I might get Continue reading →
