Sometimes I wish mold would grow quicker. I find myself cultivating a deep hatred for the food in the fridge.  I wonder if that odd smell is just how cold cubes of meat smell or whether it's been left too long.  I wonder if I'll die from eating it and how long it will take people to find my body. You can't really yell at a dead person for doing a ( Read more... )

Dear Capitol One,

I definitely applaud you for your choice of patriotic credit cards (Lady Liberty, American Flag, and Eagle (clearly patriotic, clearly unwavering) but I find myself wondering, as someone new to the credit card world and eager to display his Intense Love of America on a credit card, is Capitol One providing me with enough ( Read more... )

It's called "Little Mosque on the Prairie" and the Canadians made it. It's pretty grand. I really like it because it's just an enjoyable show to watch, and it always makes me happy to see what one can do with just basic shooting and editing techniques when you also have good writing to go along with it ( Read more... )

Since I'm out of the contest and have begun to care even less what people reading my blog think of my entries, I've decided to occasionally start posting the humorous and curious porn that I find all across the internet. As some of you may have noted in the past, I look at a lot of porn. A lot of porn. I like to pretend I'm a prospector, panning ( Read more... )

So the night that I failed out of the HBC (Hamburger Blogging Challenge), I was working on a project I've spent the last several days working on in chunks: a small guide to Berkeley - primarily food related. Well I was on cough syrup when I was working on one section, and fell asleep between 9 and 2, which is why I failed, but I've finally ( Read more... )

I have in my mind a list, and this list changes a bit from time to time, but it's of people who I think will succeed. I write this list down from time to time. I'm excited for the future (as I generally am) because the future will inevitably mean I can look back to the past (the present present) and see if I was right ( Read more... )

It's always been an odd thing to me that I can only buy Girl Scout Cookies during a particular time of the year. They come in and out of season. And that's the weird thing to me. Or perhaps it's not. Maybe - and here I most definitely mean "Why yes, quite." - The world is more magical than I give it credit ( Read more... )

I would like to recommend to you all, a little known book, sure to show up on the indie radar soon. The Dictionary (unabridged version (this is important!)). I usually like to finish books before I go around recommending them, but I'm really digging it so far. It's a very formal book, very structural, but not all too confusing. It's very linear ( Read more... )

Memorable moment of the week: When we almost broke into song, but then we didn't. It reminded me a lot of those videos you see online of those turn of the century flight machines, the ones that would begin to take off, but not well enough, and the just drag along the ground and humorously (pathetically) fall apart.

So, after posting my geography results yesterday, looks like a bunch of the other challengers did this as well, and I can't think of anyone who didn't beat me. So I decided to try again so I could at least do better. 50s not shabby, but it's not that good either. It's not that I'm super ign'ant (I am a little) but I've just always been bad at ( Read more... )
