Sayyyyy... That reminds me of another amusing anecdote...

[Error: unknown template qotd]To quote Margaret Cho:

"Mommy idea of heaven is biiiiiig buffet where you never get full and you never get fat. "
Table for two!

[Error: unknown template qotd]Well, I'm old, so just about everything they do is amazing. I was six or seven when my stepdad brought home a computer - one that was about the size of a present day tower and the keyboard was attached by a phone cord and folded up into the box itself. The screen was maybe 5x5. You had to know BASIC to get it to do anything. And now the only people who have to learn programming language are software developers, programmers, and the like.

I think the possibilities will be endless. We're already moving towards having your computer being your sole source of communication and entertainment. I think one day everything in your house will be networked - from your appliances to the a/c to the lights. I'd love to be able to map out a trip and upload it to my car that will be able to drive itself.

[Error: unknown template qotd]This question implies that you're ashamed of your "childish pleasures." I'm not ashamed of watching cartoons, liking to spin around in circles until I get dizzy, licking the bowl after I've made a cake, reading kids' books or anything like that.

I guess I thought I'd like housecleaning better. Most of the grownups I knew as a kid seemed to like it a lot.

[Error: unknown template qotd]Honestly, the burden of this lies on us to learn from this and do our best to change our ways. As for the government, I say they need to prosecute the heck out of the people who embezzled billions of dollars and who came up with the illegal practices that went on in the mortgage industry and hedge funds.

And then they can get on legislation that makes it easier for people to get an education, keep their job, care for their health, and have the paid time to take a vacation, care for a newborn, or focus on making themselves well when they're ill.

[Error: unknown template qotd]Well, it's actually Bren's earworm, but what the heck?

[Error: unknown template qotd]It used to be Scar Tissue by The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Now it's this:



or this:


I know, I'm a loser.

[Error: unknown template qotd]This doesn't really apply to me right now since I work from home, but when I do go into the office, I strip the second I get back home and get into a tank top or a t-shirt and pajama pants.. I like being comfy. :)

Ugh. It is so naptime. The worst part about taking a nap on your lunchbreak is that you have a time limit. :P

Scratch that, it's vaccuum time, do some more dishes time, and then naptime.

[Error: unknown template qotd]There aren't too many ways in which I'm NOT a better person than I was ten years ago. I was 23.

I got out of a horrible relationship, I'm more responsible - including fiscally, I've worked for the same company for over 6 years - and moved up, I care way more about other people than myself, I have much better relationships with my parents...

I weigh about 40 lb more than I did 10 years ago. Which is weird, because I've been about this weight since 2000.

[Error: unknown template qotd]Avoiding unpleasant things. I'm really bad about being lazy and avoiding the unpleasant tasks that need to be done. I'm going to try to take on a few unpleasant tasks a day without complaining - doing the dishes, the litterbox, cleaning the bathroom, etc. I can't start going to the gym right now because I'm sick, but once I'm better, I'm going to start walking, too.
