micaturtle and obsessive0514, I swear to god I am still writing your prompt fic. Just still caught up in some real life stuff at the moment and it's taking up a lot of my computer time. DON'T KILL ME. >_Yesterday was one of those unexpectedly awesome days, in which the kids in my class apparently had deemed it 'be nice to the teacher day.' A couple of my favorite kids ( Read more... )

Saw this yesterday: Printer produces personalized 3D chocolate. This is a 3D printer that actually prints chocolate. Goddamn, that is cool. You can come up with your own design, and have this thing choco-print it for you. How awesome is that? I want one of these in my own home. Instead of writing people letters, I could write them candy bars. They' ( Read more... )

So, this week could have been better, but it also could have been much worse, so I expect I should be thankful for that.Spent a lot of  time looking at tires for my car and agonizing over prices. Finally went with Wal-Mart's. Later, I went to get the safety inspection and a piece of plastic from the bottom of my car door fell off.

Me: "Wow, that's ( Read more... )

My dad and I share a complicated relationship. I love him because he's my dad and I have fond memories and he does stuff that shows he genuinely does care about me, but I also hate him for doing such a shitty job at this dad thing and trying to break my self esteem and just in general being a dickface, so Father's Day stirs up all these complicated ( Read more... )

So, last night before bed I was fortunate enough to spot a spider the size of a golf ball scurrying around my room. And when I say scurrying, I mean sitting blithely on my carpet, staring at nothing and apparently chilling. This thing was pretty much baby tarantula size. I stuck a jar over it, slid a piece of cardstock under the jar, and flipped ( Read more... )

You know, I was thinking for a second that it would be kind of fun to have an entire library dedicated to useless information, and then realized a second afterwards that we have this thing, it is called the internet. Although it is a fact that porn clogs up the wheels of self-education quite a bit.

My boss should just get a new damn air conditioning ( Read more... )

Tuesday is always the worst, seriously. I feel like I can handle a Monday, but Tuesday is such a letdown I'd like to fill it with something nice. (As opposed to, you know, work.) Fortunately, I seem to have slept a hell of a lot last night, so I am in a good, wakeful mood this morning. Yesterday I was seriously groggy and felt like a member of the ( Read more... )

I thought that this article from Offbeat Bride was very good: Blind Women Get Married, Too It's a look at the ableism inside the wedding industry, from the point of view of a blind woman and her own awesome plans for her wedding ceremony. As an ablebodied person, I can't imagine what she goes through on a daily basis, and her stories about trying ( Read more... )

Okay, someone go ahead and tell me why I had a Toy Story dream during my one hour nap on break. A sad, depressing Toy Story dream in which Woody is apparently one of the last toys standing (like usual), and there are a couple others with him like Hamm and Potato Head, but it's definitely a different owner than Andy or Bonnie.

And for some reason ( Read more... )

So today wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was, which is wonderful, and I received a beautiful sandwich set of milk glass teacups and plates with a grapevine design from a woman who did not want them. Also, it is thundering heavily outside, which is always cool ( Read more... )
