I’ve got 99 problems and I think 83 of them are mosquito bites I received Tuesday night.

Oh god. The live band at the apartment complex pool party is playing a rendition of Oasis’ Wonderwall. With a saxophone solo. I cannot unhear this. This is what happens in the live music capitol of the world.

chels:
Pieces of this have been going around for a few days, and I finally got around to checking it out. Some of my favorites are:
“The time difference between when Tyrannosaurus and Stegosaurus lived is greater than the time difference between Tyrannosaurus and now.”
“If Earth wasn’t tilted on its axis, we wouldn’t have woodgrain, just ‘tree brown’.” Evidently, the axis of the Earth is...

Please figure out a way to kill all of the mosquitoes.

I want to adopt this as a template for my responses to all mis-addressed emails. If only I were a Finger.

There is nothing better than 100 Bullets. Nothing. Volume 8 was particularly devastating/amazing. Absolutely a legit piece of art.

Work has been a bit ca-RAAAAAZY lately, but luckily that only happens every few months or so, so I can’t complain.
But aside from work, I haven’t been doing (aka leaving the house to do) too much. When I get stressed out I tend to hibernate instead of going out and tossing a few back like a normal person. So, a list of things I have done (aka watched/read) lately:

Crazy bird story
OH the craziest thing this morning! There was a bird who either wanted to play with or kill Kima. Kima went to cross the driveway to go by the pool, I told her to wait, and while she was standing there this bird (not a grackle, like a sparrow type bird) flew down really close, like almost touched her back. So we stood there a little while and the bird did it 3 or 4 times, and it was squawking a...
