Bill: I'll have a surprise for you. Actually two.
Me: Did you have both balls removed?
Bill: Yes!

Uncontacted Indian tribe spotted in Brazil →
If you look at the photos of the tribe it seems like they just had their worlds turned upside down and inside out by seeing the helicopter/airplane. It even seems that they’re trying to shoot it with arrows. Somehow I think the aircraft flying over could be the worst thing that could happen to them. Imagine seeing a giant flying machine without having a basic idea of the technology in the...

This is pretty cool.
I recieved this e-mail this morning: “Long Time No Search, annie! Once upon a time, you actively searched Rent.com for apartments. Then one day you stopped. And we were very sad…” Seriously? It’s because I quite possibly may have found an apartment.
I’m talking with my mother on the phone and she’s eating something crunchy and taking forever to tell a story. This is driving me insane.

This is my house and I have to defend it
In the neighborhood I lived in when I was a kid, there was a tan old lady with a long silver pony tail who used to walk through the streets, shuffling along slowly in her neon t-shirts. She was terrifying. That was until she cut her hair off to the proper “Old Lady” length. Then, she was like our very own Home Alone shovel guy. She chopped off that pony tail and suddenly you could...

Worst night of sleep ever.
For the first time in what seems like forever, my stomach doesn’t hurt or feel weird. It feels like nothing. A void. The absence of it feeling weird is making me feel weird!!
Thanks GG

Bloodfoot
This morning on my way to the bus stop I saw a stray dog ahead of me. He darted down an alley before I got to him but when I caught up with his footprints they were all bloody and that made me feel terrible.
I just left a voice mail for a client with my mouth full of banana. You have to get your kicks somehow, right?
I just called my doctor’s office to make an appointment (at 4 p.m.) and they told me that the system is already shut down for the day but that I could call back at 9 a.m. tomorrow. 1. Can’t she just open an excel document or something? 2. Must be nice to be a doctor. Tons of $$ and 7 hour days.
I definitely want to live to be 100. Can you imagine what 2085 would be like? Neither can I, so I want to live to see it.
boo!
I just went to Jimmy John’s for lunch and ordered a veggie sub. Upon opening it, there was tuna all over the inner part of the wrapper. I don’t think that anything could have ruined my lunch quicker than that. Except maybe the fact that the lettuce is all pinky brown. Gross. Disappointed!
"Talking Popcorn" Awesome. →
Back to the meaty board
I dropped a frozen veggie burger on my toe last night. Believe me when I say, it hurt like a bitch but I know that if I was defrosting real meat there’s a good chance it would have been a much bigger chunk that fell on my foot. I’ll stick to the veggie burgers for now.
Isabella Rossellini in Green Porno →
From Pop Candy: “Porno unfolds in short installments, each starring Rossellini as a different bug/small creature. In the clips, she wears funky costumes, talks about the sexual habits of whatever she’s supposed to be and demonstrates some of their bizarre habits. Go to the site to watch Rossellini behave as a praying mantis, spider, fly, bee, earthworm and more.” I can’t...
"Legalize it" ugh. →
I love this McSweeney’s interview with Alison Green who works for a marijuana lobbying group. I don’t advocate the use of drugs obviously but this interview makes it pretty clear that their objective is not like that of the stoners on your local college campus. A selection from the interview: “Q: Is there an office subscription to High Times? A: No. We’re not pro-marijuana...

Tofu.... →
I think I may foray into tofu territory this weekend with this recipe. I’ve never cooked with it but maybe it’s time!
keep fallin' on my head
What a beautiful rain this morning!
Because everyone thinks I am evil lately I made a list of things I like today. I realized that maybe everyone thinks that I am this way because half of what I like is hard to share with everyone else. The list is as follows (in no particular order): -Cooking/Baking/Food Blogs -Movies -Reading/Books/Libraries -Family & friends -A good “girl” talk -Music -Pens -A good photo -Animals...
Everyone, I promise you when I say this, I’m trying the best that I can.
Monday
I could not have had a less pleasant first phone call of the week.
“Some things you lose
You don’t get back
So just know what you have”

Return to sender
I received an e-mail today from a client who wanted to know how to access our site. In place of an e-mail address for me to follow up with him, he provided me with his home address. I don’t get it.
I just read a very sad case at work. I can’t handle sadness today!
Fat cat
I googled ‘pregnant cat’ because I didn’t know what one would look like and now I feel like a perv for some reason. I hope IT never sees that search!
Follow Directions
It bothers me when I call a client back and leave on their voicemail what number they should call to get the information they need and instead of doing that, they call me back and tell me they missed my call. I am predicting that I am going to call them back, get their voicemail again and stress to them that they need to call the other number that I have already given them without sounding like a...
Convert
I think I may have officially gotten over the fact that I really can’t have coffee anymore because I think I might love tea again. Although, I really wish they would find a way to make the bags without putting staples in them. If we can put a pig aorta in a human body we can make a tea bag without a staple.
