This is easy.

Sieving clay samples through a 75 micron sieve, trying to obtain 4kg, while wearing a mask and gloves, and receiving next to no instruction.

Glee. By now it's easier to believe that the show is a social experiment out of control than an actual attempt at quality entertainment, but they still surprise me. Like tonight's episode: Santana ( Read more... )

I don't believe them to be sins, really.

Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride.

It's impossible to not feel them.
