“This is why our problem is not just economic; it’s spiritual. We have mistaken...”

Amen.
Thanks a lot, hover dogs.
Damn it! Now I want to watch ‘The Neverending Story’ and ‘Return of the Jedi.’
This is kind of trite...but I like it. →
This came out of nowhere.
I don’t know why, but I really (REALLY) want Cheez-It crackers right now.
Update: AAAAAAaaand currently eating some. Thank you, basement vending machines
Chicago, you cruel mistress

When I was in San Francisco, the activity opportunities were endless. One day, Brittin, Laura and I decided to trot up to Sonoma on a whim, visiting three lovely vineyards and enjoying a lunch outside. Another day, I met up with my friend Ali, and we went to the Pier. We ended up walking back to the Mission — nearly the entire length of the city — chatting the afternoon away on...

It’s about damn time. I never understood why such emphasis was put on an arcane form of penmanship. They may as well teach architectural lettering… at least it is legible.
Well, this breaks my heart. My mother has beautiful penmanship. Her mother did, too. I spent hours as a child staring at her lovely, lilting letters and...

Yep, I'd have one of these. →
Gotta admit, this would make for a great party trick:
Pop ‘n’ lockin’, fool!

Helium walks into a bar. The bartender says, “I’m sorry, but we don’t serve noble gases here.” Helium doesn’t react.
I know, I know...but seriously...this is great! →
Aside
It has come to my attention that I make a lot of posts about food (at least five of the ten entries preceding this one, for example).
I take no issue with this whatsoever.
Corned beef hash is always a great idea in the morning.
Bacon, a biscuit, and an absurdly large coffee are also a good idea, though not so much when accompanying corned beef hash.
I’m not even finished, and I’m already so full that I feel sick (makes me feel like a real American). I’m going to eat the rest of this, damn it.
I’m committed.
I am genuinely distraught over this. →

Just did my taxes..state and federal. This is, by far, the earliest I’ve ever had them completely finished. I e-filed and everything.
I get $90 back from the Fed and $34 back from Illinois, which is very nice, especially since I owed money last year. Thanks, IRA.
My new ear piercing has finally started itching. I’ve dreaded this very much.
I’ll never understand why I’m randomly freezing at times. It’s like 70 in my apartment. Perfectly warm. I fucking hate my circulation. Maybe I’m going through the change? I mean…
I’ve been in a baking sort of mood lately. On Sunday night, I made sugar cookies for Jasmine and Jason. Last night, I made a shit-ton of oatmeal raisin cookies. Quite delicious....
I wish I could quit you, Failblog. →
And crying.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes.
Speaking of blacks…
I just realized that Monday is MLK Day.
Three-day weekend, bitches!!!!
*Ahem* I mean…free at last!
I had to wait an hour for the god-damned bus this morning.
It’s twelve fucking degrees outside.
I’ve been inexplicably anxious all day. I don’t get it.
Anyway…I’ve been lightly addicted to the following songs of late:
“The Man Who Sold the World” - David Bowie
“I’ll Believe in Anything” - Wolf Parade
“6 Underground” - The Sneaker Pimps (Per usual. I’m beginning to think I have a problem.)
