I’m nuts for this Q&A website, Fluther!  I’ve been asking and answering questions all week.  It’s really fun, informative, and addicting.  You should check it out!

While checking my gmail I noticed an ad on the right hand side that said “Rectal Bleeding? Learn the pros and cons of rectal bleeding at blahblahblahblalhb.com”

Really? There are PROs to that? And why was that advert on my gmail anyway? Sometimes life makes me laugh.

Summer is here! Theoretically speaking, at least.  The weather seems to be a bit fickle in that it was fucking 50 on Monday and now it’s close to 80.  But it’s all good as long as the students are going home I love it!  This time is truly my favorite time of year, I’ve decided.  Screw AC in the car.  I’d rather let the breeze keep me cool.  Although, the pollen slapping my nostrils around is a downfall & the yellow dust on my dash is really not attractive.  Imagine me driving down the road, windows down, radio on, with one of those cotton masks across my face.  I might just do that to see what kind of bizarre looks I get from other drivers.

My birthday party was glorious! Thanks to everyone who came with bottles of wine to get my sloppy.  Next time we have a game night, though, we might really ought to play some games.  Ya think?

I just wanted to say, very quickly, the following:

A) I have just about the most amazing husband ever.  Seriously, kids, I have eaten at a lot of places & had a lot of people cook for me, and Patrick is seriously the best. No kidding. This comes to mind as I fork a bite of last nights left overs into my mouth.  He made delicious spicy sausage with black beans and some OH so tasty coconut basmati rice with rosemary bread on the side.  mmm. . . m. m. mm.

B) I love tea almost as much as I love PKM.

C) I am a geek. That is all.

As you probably know, because of my inability to eat a dish without taking a fuzzy cellular picture of it, I LOVE YAKISOBA! So today when I saw on Boing Boing a blog about someone selling a Felt Yakisoba creation on Etsy, I was very excited! Not excited enough to buy it… but definitely to post a picture!

It’s unfortunate that the Felt Yakisoba looks a lot more appetizing than the actual dish It really was quite good.

I get a bizarre sense of satisfaction, bordering on perversion, when my checkbook balances down to the penny.  It’s really, REALLY, a good feeling knowing where every cent is going. The whole idea of rounding up in your checkbook is a great one.  I built quite a padding doing that for a while.  However, I’ve found that even with the “Keep the change” feature that Bank of America offers, I can’t round up.  It just throws me off.  I love my precious pennies too much.  I mean, figuratively speaking, of course.  If I had my way, I’d be done with pennies all together.

Oh well!

What do you do when a friend has an ugly child?  I mean, obviously you just STFU about it and smile politely when the pictures roll out… But seriously, there are some fug kids out there. :/

This post has been brought to you by the obvious.

In the sixth century, Pope Gregory handed down a list of “seven cardinal vices.” Now the Vatican has issued an additional seven “social sins.”

You offend God not only by stealing, taking the Lord’s name in vain or coveting your neighbor’s wife, but also by wrecking the environment, carrying out morally debatable experiments that manipulate DNA or harm embryos,” said [Bishop Gianfranco] Girotti, who is responsible for the body that oversees confessions.

The seven social sins are:
• “Bioethical” violations such as birth control - CHECK
• “Morally dubious” experiments such as stem cell research - CHECK
• Drug abuse
• Polluting the environment - Sadly, CHECK
• Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor
• Excessive wealth
• Creating poverty - I create my own poverty by working at UGA, so CHECK

The original deadly sins:
• Pride
• Envy
• Gluttony
• Lust
• Anger
• Greed
• Sloth

“A doctor friend of mine gets high on his rotations, but I never do, because while I can function for the most part, I tend to forget a lot of things and act like a jackass. I have to take calls from patients at home after work all the time, but that’s not really a problem. The thing about weed is that you can sober up for a few moments at a time. You can focus on one thing for, like, 45 seconds, but then you get distracted by the TV or by how pretty your candles are or something.” Source: timeout.com

I’m a little bit shocked by this article in Time Out New York. It was supposedly written by an internist in a New York hospital who gets high EVERY DAY. What do you think? Click to read the whole article.

Okay, seriously, why can I not visit any site on the internet without running into some scantily clad, big busted, wide eyed, sailor moon chicks?  I mean, I get why people like anime, and I even get why people like naked anime, but why are there so many friggin’ adverts for it on every single site I’m trying to look at while I’m at work? It’s a tincy bit annoying.

That is all.
