Hello! Just wanted to drop in quickly and share some funny things I've found while avoiding drowning in work.

For those of you who like Discworld, this website has pictures of a (wedding) cake someone actually made of the turtle with the world on it's back. It's AMAZING, and I can't even imagine how long it ( Read more... )

I think God is trying to tell me to go back to bed for the day ( Read more... )

Ah...after over a week of dial-up access, back to high-speed internet again. It does really amuse me just how much the world has changed, given that at this moment I'm sitting at the gate, waiting to board, and checking my e-mail. The airport now has free WiFi access throughout most of the waiting areas. It's just so funny how much things have ( Read more... )

It's good to know that I'm going into a profession whose opinion and research is so respected by the US government that it ignores changes made over 30 years ago. Gah.

So A. and I are watching the three Back to the Future movies, and it's very strange to realize that as of 2006, we are closer to the "future" in movie #2 (takes place in 2015) than when the first movie was originally made (1985). So in 9 years we're going to have flying cars and self-adjusting clothes, right ( Read more... )

I just need to share the love and songwriting genius that is my friend, shel99. An original creation, written today, straight from the lips (or keyboard) of the master herself, I bring you ( Read more... )

I think my brain has melted. I spent 6 hours in the lab today, modifying a database and doing data entry. The sad thing is that there were 2 other people there, and we didn't even come close to finishing, much less analyzing any of the data, which was the actual plan for the day. Of course, it's not just entering in the numbers, it's also ( Read more... )

I was walking to campus today and passed a woman with crimped hair. CRIMPED hair. I can't honestly remember the last time I saw someone with crimped hair. I didn't even think they *made* crimping irons anymore. Goes to show you what I know about fashion. Or something ( Read more... )

Well, it appears that spring may actually be here (albeit slightly later than in Tennessee or Kentucky - not that I'm jealous or anything). Last weekend we got the first flowers of the season coming up in our backyard, yellow and purple crocuses, and a few days ago I noticed two daffodils. The surprising thing is that they're still around, since ( Read more... )

There's nothing like wandering around someone else's apartment with a laptop, desperately searching for an unlocked broadband signal (on the couch? next to the window? in the study? on the bed?) Apparently people are starting to learn that a) they really shouldn't broadcast their network name, and b) if they do, they should put some sort of lock ( Read more... )
