The cycle continues!  In my last post I mentioned my theory about collusion between dentists, orthodontists, and oral surgeons, a conspiracy in which one specialist recommends a procedure that will fix one ailment a patient has, but create an entirely new problem that only another specialist can fix.  In my case, the braces that I had ten years ago ( Read more... )

In 2005 the summer antics and adventures of Angela are wackier than ever!  Join Angela in the passenger seat as she “learns” to drive stick!  Look over her shoulder as she composes seething e-mails to UPS, Mach Speed, and other multinational corporations that have recently screwed her over!  You, too, may benefit when she acquires first-name-basis ( Read more... )

So I just spent the last 17*pi hours doing math, and I needed an eensy-weensy distraction, so I checked my e-mail, and found "The World's Easiest Quiz" sent by my dad.  Enjoy, but don't expect to boost your self-esteem *too* much...

But I don't care that I'm a dork as long as I'm happy, and who wouldn't be just tickled pink if they got to experience the abundance of awesomeness that is: The Infinite Cat Project! No, I don't seek things like these out on my own; then I really would ( Read more... )

Damn. Damn. Damn. So, I ordered a $10.00 128 mb mp3 player. Well, it wasn't *really* $10.00, it was actually $50.00, with a $40.00 rebate, which when postage and handling fees and tax (lousy California) were factored in, amounted to a $58.63 charge on my debit card. But that was okay with me, because as soon as I received my little miracle of ( Read more... )

So I just finished my three-hour take home probability and statistics final, and it was more fun than being Nancy Kerrigan when she was hit in the knee with a lead pipe by fellow figure skater Tonya Harding's boyfriend before the 1994 US figure skating championships. But lots of things are more fun than that, so what's so special about my probstat ( Read more... )
