I always secretly, shamefully do memes on Facebook or here or wherever, but then I don't post them because even though I might think they're funny, there is still the awful, awful shame. Anyway, though, I did one of those "put your mp3 player on shuffle" ones, and got this result ( Read more... )

I've found that when I'm using the public library, I like to be as incompetent as possible. The other day I went up to the desk and said, "There is a book I returned that is still showing up as being checked out and now it says it is overdue and I can't return it because I already returned it and I don't know what to do." And the circulation desk ( Read more... )

I have been all obsessed with Hefner (the band, not the Hugh) lately. For some reason, it is good early morning bus music.

There is a good chance that tomorrow I am going to spend over 20 pounds sterling (I know I could convert this or figure out how to make the pounds sterling symbol, but the fact is that I really like to say pounds sterling) on ( Read more... )

So, I guess my car was stolen. I mean, I drove it to work the other day and then when I got out of work at 11pm, I kept walking up and down the street thinking I had just overlooked it. I am still sort of hoping that maybe it was just towed, but I've called the impound lot several times and I am inclined to believe that they really do not have it ( Read more... )

Today, in direct opposition to my whole world view, someone held an umbrella over me while I was waiting to cross the street. And, in the best possible situation of all, she was talking on her phone so I didn't even have to make awkward small talk ( Read more... )

Yesterday at work a little girl almost kicked me (she was practicing her kung fu moves by the travel books or something, i don't know), and she said, "Sorry!" and I said "No problem!" or something like that to relate that any ill will I bore her was just due to my general dislike of children and not tied to any one particular event. As I was ( Read more... )

I went to Clarksville for the weekend because I didn't have to work. It was mostly not exciting (mom and I saw Wall-E and I got the muffler on my car fixed for $50 instead of the $350 I was quoted here), but there is a new tunnel under the highway and we went to look at it and maybe drive through it while honking the horn. When we got there, ( Read more... )

So, is there a term for the phenomenon that, when you vocalize the fact that something is going well, whatever thing you just commented on suddenly just stops being good? Like, a while back ilikeseamus and I were on the bus, and I said, "This bus ride is going remarkably well!" and then the bus immediately died. The bus driver said, "I'm gonna be honest ( Read more... )

I kind of wish my parents kept a blog, because, when I am on the phone with them, they always have exciting stories about finding kittens or going to yard sales at the funeral home, whereas all I have to talk about is sweating a lot and the 'use the air conditioner or be able to pay the electric bill' dilemma ( Read more... )

So the problem with not writing an entry for a while is that when I try to write one I think, "well, after two weeks I can't possible just write something about how crowded the bus was last night, can I?" And then I just don't write anything instead, and then I feel bad because I kind of liked how there was a heavily edited and very incomplete ( Read more... )
