For this Flight of the Conchords gem to be funny and not only painful as Fergie’s … humps have inured us to the ‘what the fuckness’ of lyrics like this.
Notes:
I miss wearing/being able to wear overalls. Er, ‘dungarees’. I do not know that Jemaine does so, but the subseuent HAMMERPANTS keep [...]

I skipped Twitter, but decided why not try Plinky? I don’t quite know what its appeal is, but I’m letting my mind pick its own bizarre structures.

I went to the Virginia DMV last week. I know to expect a long wait. No big deal, regular annoyance. But I heard the woman inputting my application data say a day and a month that were one digit off from my birthday.
I called her out on it. She looked at me like I’m somehow [...]

Have I mentioned that the SBOE of Texas has been scaring me? Chichi mongreenus!
But things are maybe gonna be alright. The update is that the science has made it past the first vote.
Admittedly, my God-feelings are squiffy at the extended moment, but science education is science education. Onward!

Whenever I see letter letter letter number letter (letter), I pretty much assume it is or was someone’s assigned UVA email handle.
The gloriously (passive-)aggressive and really quite necessary letmegooglethatforyou.com – I actually went to find out who was doing this and making the monies off it and saw rmm5t down at the bottom. Asking questions [...]

Half-way though reading this entry on lovely Language Log about how Obama is not the 44th American to take the oath even though he is called the 44th president, I quiet-yelled, “CLEVELAND!” and shook my fists at the screen.
Living alone has it benefits. Now, when my crazy is shared, it is shared knowingly and willingly, [...]

We watched it at work on the projector in the break room. Some folks not keen on it and went out for lunch to avoid having to hear it. I don’t personally understand that. Maybe it’s something like how I hated the Miami Heat in 2006 and still try to avoid them and Dwayne Wade.
Only [...]

The AARP sent me a membership card and application during my senior year of high school. Twice.
Once when I was 17. Seventeen – not even an adult. Jailbait. They sent me another one right after I turned 18, which I was already having a bit of a freakout over. I brought this card in to high [...]

I am not sure if My Mom is a Fob is as funny to non-FOB-parented’ folks, but I LAUGH so freaking hard and my friends and I pretty much identify with all of them. So CUTE.
Had dinner with high school friend, his workforce substitute, and workforce substitute’s friend who is a second-year now. (Cute.)

Thank you, tonight’s The Office. I often wonder if I should put the call bell back in my car to ding at pedestrians and cyclists so they know I’m coming. But man… I wish I could smush frightening creepy co-workers* against a fence with my carbaby.
*I’m probably luckier that I don’t have any. =)

Sometimes when I see the Netflix ‘Things People Are Watching Where You Are’ category, I want to punch us in our collective smug city countenance. Just a good *pop* to the face. Seriously, Charlottesville – way to hump the list of stereotypes.
Still, it’s often not a bad place to be. =)

Anytime anyone was taking a shower, their away message said “so fresh and so clean clean.”
I’m wondering if for the subset of people who have laundry days, that Dr. Horrible is their new OutKast and that they are now Twittering or using fb status updates or GTalk* to say, “laundry day… see you there … [...]

When I was five, my mother’s father fell ill. I can’t remember what it was. I don’t know what he died of, if it was directly following this hospitalization or if it was on the tail of a subsequent. I don’t know. I remember only that we flew to Taiwan, that my mother carried me, [...]
