I could not make a comment on that that would not be commonsensical.

I can relate to this on so many levels.

In a related note, there is some kind of mini-Chilli’s restaurant on my campus. There is a girl that works there named Sabrina. The restaurant doesn’t...
I already ironed them.
Ahh! A couple of days ago it rained super hard and my boots got soaked. I just now am wearing them again and they’ve totally shrunk. Also, I am wearing pants I haven’t worn in years and they are really tight, I’m going to have to go unbuttoned and hope no one notices because I’m too lazy to change pants. Everything is against me.

Things just got real.
I recently broke up with my girlfriend.
That’s right. I had a girlfriend. I bet you didn’t even know I did. We were together for three years and eleven months and I never even blogged about her once. I told myself that it was because I wanted to keep my private life out of my blog, but that was a lie. I even kept her existence a secret from some of my friends—some of my best...

Whew! Thanks to everyone who enlightened me on that one. I knew there was some kind of name for these things.

Oh my! It would seem I’ve finally found someone who is a bigger Pretender fan than I am. Their episode guide blows my little project out of the water.
And then fail the test.
It always amazes me how some people are born with the innate ability to only take down notes in class on the things that absolutely will never be on the test.
lilabird asked: I know so little about art! And often have such a hard time describing the feeling I get from it, so don't feel insecure at all!
Art history is definitely tough...I wouldn't blame you for dropping it as a minor! Not to mention so many people involved in the field are know-it-all ass holes. But that's just been my experience! What is your major, by the way?

Bones 5 x 16
In the flashback, Brennan is working on a skull of what she says is “Ardepithicus ramidus kadabba” (which is now considered a separate species, btw, but it’s ok because at the time of the flashback kadabba was considered a subspecies of ramidus), but the skull is obviously not from the Ardepithicus genus and instead the skull of a Cro Magnon. Jeez, talk about egregious errors.

I do.
Every once in a while you see a girl who is so beautiful, so marvelous, so everything-you’ve-ever-wanted-in-another-human-being, that if your life was a movie, you’d turn to your friends and say, “I’m going to marry that girl”, but you never do.

USGS Earthquake Notification Service →
I signed up for this the other day and it’s great. You can set it to monitor any part of the world you want and it will email you every time an earthquake happens. You can even set the magnitude so that it only notifies you of big ones, I’ve got mine set at 3.0+.

Thing That Has Always Bothered Me:
Families who eat dinner at the breakfast table, or vice versa.
This only applies to homes with a dining area and a breakfast one.

Fight!
Who would win in a fight between Hercules, Achilles, and the biblical hero Samson?
Keep in mind that Achilles was the perfect killing machine and impervious to any weapon; he killed more dudes in his sleep than the other two guys combined.
Keep in mind that Hercules once slew a lion that was impervious to any weapon.
Keep in mind that Samson was imbued with the power of God and once killed a...
