my brain is exploding right now. this is amazing.
Didn’t somebody already do this and call it a library? And isn’t that one free?
Hooked on Phonics worked for me!
I don’t think this counselors first language is English but she spelled Psychiatrist “Psiquiatrist” on a client discharge form.
Last night I was thinking what it would be like to never look anything up on Google for one month. Then I realized how many times I’d have to go the library and read reference books and I’d have to buy a pretty big dictionary and buy a lot of city maps.
A novel idea but let’s face it, the internet taught me to be a lazy researcher.
Is is just me or do apples taste like shit this year?

“During his 1992 campaign, at the end of a long day, McCain’s wife, Cindy, mussed his receding hair and needled him playfully that he was “getting a little thin up there.” McCain reportedly blew his top, cutting his wife down with the kind of language that had gotten him hauled into court as a high schooler: “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a...
My extended family is not close. We see each other MAYBE once a year and don’t call each other or wish each other Happy Birthday or send Christmas cards (this includes aunts, uncles, cousins, one grandparent and depending on the year, one parent).
Last night, I was talking with my mom about how I don’t really like family gatherings and how much I hate having to attend weddings of...
Everyday I wonder to myself why they let stupid people use the internet.
If you create an account for something, don’t you always use the same username everytime so that when you get to a site you’ve visited before you can say to yourself, “Ah, yes. My username is always _____ so that I will never forget it”?
People will e-mail me for their company ID to access our...
Sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, sniffle, sniffle, sniffle, sniffle, sniffle, sneeze, sniffle, sneeze, sniffle.
I’m getting a cold.
Awesome.
10,000,000 strong and grooowing.
Flintstone’s Vitamins unmistakably taste like blood.
It is 8:41 AM. Our company is trying to win a very “big” client who is touring our office today and the clients logo color is orange so we’re supposed to wear orange today (I didn’t). I mention what time it is because we just got an e-mail that said there were orange treats in the kitchen that we could have. I figured there would be some oranges to eat and since I like...

I had to convince myself that I was not dead this morning because I have had the Free Credit Report song stuck in my head all morning and the only time that should happen is if you’ve died and gone to hell.

Come on everybody grab your bike and sing along.
God, help me.
They should offer the choice to purchase how many ounces of a drink you want. I only wanted a sip of Sprite and now I have 18 more FL OZ. to drink.
I voted early on Monday. I was sick of the election a while ago but now I really wish it was over.
I like toast.
I do not like that today is crawling along like a sloth.

Today has been good so far. The bus pulled up right as I was walking up to the bus stop and I got a seat that happened to be blowing warm air on my feet the whole way to the train.
WTF, Broccoli? →
This is creepy.
Last night I fell asleep fully clothed (with my slippers, jeans and a cardigan on)! What an awkward feeling.
If I told you the extent to which my bad luck reaches, you would not even begin to believe it.

Does anyone know where I can go to play skee-ball in Chicago?
There is a Chuck E. Cheese off of Fullerton.
Edit: There is also Dave & Buster’s downtown and Sluggers on Clark.

Jesus, the internet allows you do some really creepy stuff.

Cabel Sasser discusses all the superb little design touches he came up with for his wedding. This actually makes me want to get married.
Olivia - this looks like the kind of wedding you would have rocked, as the photog. I like the pixels. Very modern and sweet at the same time. Perfect for the techies (who is all three of the people who read this blog).

Letter found in Prescott, AZ →
This is a cute letter and it makes me miss being young and thinking that you can just swear off love and crushes and never date.
Abby, wherever you are…good luck. Let me know if it worked.
