I have a nasty cold, and I've had this thing for a week now. I've been so miserable I haven't even been able to actually get any work done, and I have sooooo much crap to do ( Read more... )

Easter has the BEST candy.

HAPPY ZOMBIE JESUS DAY!

Alright. Who has heard of these guys and hasn't told me? One of you guys has to know. It's ok. I won't be mad. I mean, it's just an adorable Japanese indie band that played at SXSW and at the Bowery Ballroom last month, and if I had known about them I could have gone to see them. Why would I be mad?

I spent $15.00 on 10 Cadbury Creme Eggs yesterday. I bought all they had left. Now make no mistake, this is premium stuff.

She's not really my grandma, but she's really psychic. She's like my grandma though, and she loves me like a grandma, and I love her like a grandma, so that's why I call her my psychic grandma. ANYway, one day she said to me, "You know, you might have a wheat allergy. Try cutting wheat out of your diet and see if you don't feel better." The next ( Read more... )

Here is a poem I found in the OED:

Ephemera, n.

1. An insect that (in its imago or winged form) lives only for a day. In modern entomology the name of a genus of psudo-neuropterous insects belonging to the Ephemeridae (Day-flies, May-flies).
