Manipulating Child
That article about parents being less happy than single people? Yeah. Right here. Children are master manipulators; parents don’t seem to realize that, sometimes. (With their own kids, I mean, because it’s just harder to recognize when its your own. I’d assume, at least.)

No, seriously. I can’t keep from laughing. An excerpt to show you why.

Um, just reading the front page of this blog has made me chuckle out loud several times. A new fave - Google Readered fo’ sho.
It’s a food blog, PS.
Etymologic - The Toughest Word Game on the Web →
onemoretimewithfeeling:
“In this etymology game you’ll be presented with 10 randomly selected etymology (word origin) or word definition puzzles to solve; in each case the word or phrase is highlighted in bold, and a number of possible answers will be presented. You need to choose the correct answer to score a point for that question.”
I love studying word and phrase origins. This is a great...

My legs and feet are now covered in clear tape patches. It really does work.
I hate bug bites on my feet.

Interesting read.
Start Liking Everything
gtmcknight:
The more things you dislike, the harder time you will have in life. It is my goal to get over as many (unavoidable) things I dislike as possible as this will make life much more enjoyable/easier.
Food is an easy example. For the longest time I did not enjoy olives, tomatoes, mustard, spam, guacamole, and wine. Not liking cow tongue is one thing, but not liking tomatoes or mustard is...
Gonna check out of this place early. My eyes are glazed over. And it’s freaking cold in here.

Holy cannoli! I’m not the only person who says “holy cannoli!”.
Man, I really regret not wearing flats today. I really just don’t feel like wearing heels.
Dream: Furthermore, at one point I had to escape an airport tarmac as gas was overflowing and BOOM EXPLOSION happened. It was quite vivid.

I swear following @MarsPhoenix affected my dreams last night. In which there were people living on Mars.
G’night folks. Looking forward to it being Friday.

Priorities Revisited
A while back I posted some priorities I wanted to set for myself.
I actually think I’m doing pretty good at the minimizing and maintaining items.
However, one thing I’ve discovered is that I definitely prioritize friend time over all the things I want to maximize. Opportunities to be social definitely tend to put everything else on the back burner.
So, I need to start balancing...

This is such a completely awesome theme. Really.

A little tired. Glad it’s Thursday. Wish it was Friday.
Herb with LSD-like effects still legal -... →
Who the hell cares. Seriously. Obviously making pot illegal has worked so well in keeping it out of people’s (especially teenagers’) hands.
Thing I’ve learned this week: need to start exercising, again. Bah.
Now that I’m home, and not feeling stifled, going to try and get some stuff done that is active and not passive (sorry internet).
I am feeling irrationally stifled by my office job right now.

According to UPS, my friendly UPS delivery man has delivered my JCrew stuff to my house! DO WANT to go home and open packages right now.

This sounds good, but considering the disasterous outcome of my eggs-in-a-bun experiment (too lazy to insert a link to blogged incident)… I am justifiably nervous in trying it.
Mushrooms are pretty tasty… uh… fungi?

Drop Out Of School Now
johncarney:
Writing about avoiding college and the merits of dropping out reminds me of something I wrote four years ago:
Fuck the Schools: Ever since I can remember people have complained that we don’t pay teachers enough. When I was young I thought this didn’t make any sense because teachers only worked two-thirds of the year. In my teenage years I decided this complaint was crap because...

Melinda Gates: The most dangerous woman in America.
Any person who thinks that sending 100% of high schoolers to college is a good idea… Why?
Not all students fit into college. I think our college-focused nation has really been a detriment to both the students and the colleges. So many students are in college without a clear idea of why they’re there.
I say we bump up...
All I have to say is: thank goodness my eye twitch went away.
Listening to the bats squeak around in the back yard.
Do you ever get the sensation that something is stuck in your throat when you know nothing is stuck in your throat?
