this is my friend, Mr. Stay-puft

There are just some times in life when it would be convenient to have an endless supply of miniature marshmallows.

um...yeah...that's hilarious

I have just discovered yet another living example for the term "waste of space".

friday near 5

A co-worker gave me a keychain, attached to which is a mini duck PEZ dispenser. It's fuzzy, has dangly arms and legs and is currently perched under my computer monitor. I have named it Howard.

my hero of today

I went to Potbelly's to get lunch. There I encountered a girl with Swiss Miss braids who was sitting on the balcony playing Weird Al's "Eat It" on an acoustic guitar.

I know URL, but what am I?

Mom, Yahoo is hiding my important messages and won't let me get them!!!

"Many of us leave the TV on when we go to sleep. Some of us do it only when in hotels. But why do we do it? Why did we do it as kids? Why, when young, did we take the greatest comfort in falling asleep under the dinner table with guests all around? Or on the coarse couch while our family watched a movie? Because we don't want to be alone when we leave the waking world?"

rebarbative!

bored games

Hershey's Kissables bear a strong resemblance to the game pieces from Sorry!.

Happy Hand Full of Goldfish Day!!!

inside joke

Sometimes when I'm on the train, or waiting on the platform, I'll randomly think of something that makes me laugh. It's obvious that nothing funny has happened, nor am I talking to anyone at the time. At this point I have to wonder if the people near me
a) take no notice
b) notice, but understand from having done the same thing themselves
c) think I'm a hallucinating psychotic escaped mental patient
d) think they've missed something
