Why the hell am I wide awake at 4:30 am?!? I woke up about an hour ago and haven't been able to fall back asleep. I finally got up and made myself a cup of chamomile tea, hopefully that will kick in soon. I have two theories about why I'm wide awake right now ( Read more... )

So just after 10 I decided to turn on the TV to watch Futurama, as I had been doing most nights since the Daily Show has been on reruns. Then I realized that Futurama isn't on Adult Swim anymore. I probably should've realized this before since I watched a few episodes earlier in the evening on Comedy Central. This change is very weird, but ( Read more... )

Baking Cookies + Playing Volleyball = Great Night!

Well, except for the part where I hit the ball wrong and it flew off sideways and hit one of my teammates in the face, breaking his glasses. Oh well, it was still fun!

I so fail at this whole Livejournal thing. Apparently two people listed me as a friend, and I didn't even notice. (Hi Belka and Dan!!!) Then I noticed that I didn't get an email or anything when i got friend'd. Is there any way to see if someone friends you other than obsessively checking your 'manage friends' page ( Read more... )

Just when I think I can't get any more absent minded...I go and wash my phone in the washing machine. This is worse than the day I accidentally washed my checkbook. I've also accidentally washed a pen, getting ink all over my clothes. I'm afraid of what I'll wash next.

I'm surprised that I've never gone through the xkcd archives before. It's disturbing how many of them I can relate to. Like this one, I can't count how many times during college I was sitting at my computer at 2 am, my homework unfinished and ~15 firefox tabs open to various wikipedia pages. Though I could probably get a pretty good estimate by ( Read more... )

So I went out shopping for a few things this evening, and I picked up something on an impulse. A few things rather. Books 2-6 of Harry Potter. I was given the first one, but never got around to reading the other ones. So since the final book is coming out this week, I decided I should finally try to catch up. Hopefully, I'll have enough ( Read more... )

So a freaky thing just happened. I was browsing facebook at work, looking at some random groups, and I had just read a post by a dude named Andrew Toth. A second later the woman in the cube across from me (who coordinates where everyone’s desk is) was talking on the phone and said, “What about that Andew Toth fellow, he’ll be starting in July.” ( Read more... )

My sister got an internship in Iowa City for the summer. So I agreed to let her stay at my place for the days she was working. I found today that she will be moving in tomorrow. Looks like I'm going to have to stop strutting around the apartment naked :(

Since moving here to Cedar Rapids, one of my favorite places to go has been Nothing But Noodles. It was a great place to relax, enjoy a delicious meal (I usually got Pad Thai or Fettucine Alfredo), and read a good book. At lunch today, we were going to a nearby restaurant, and I noticed the Nothing But Noodles building had a new sign...for a ( Read more... )
