I CAN HAS JOB?

18Dec08

Yes I can.

January 5th, 2009 I’ll start work at Presidium. The job will make use of my technical skill set, something I wasn’t doing working for my dad & his pest control company.
Ironically enough, after making “one of the top two scores she’s seen on the tests,” the girl who interviewed me was someone I [...]

TV Observation

16Dec08

I just have to say, out of frustration from watching too much TV, that sexuality is in the face.

So many women out there have wonderful (or decent) bodies that are ruined with empty eyes and generic smiles. There are far more attractive bodies out there than there are those that can level you with a [...]

Relationships as a Job

12Dec08

Relationships are hard. It’s like a full-time job, and we should treat
it like one. If your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to leave you, they
should give you two weeks’ notice. There should be severance pay, and
before they leave you, they should have to find you a temp.

Bolivia Bug

12Dec08

As someone who crawls under houses, I would not be scared of this. It’s sooooooo cute.

However, a few House Centipedes have given me a scare or two.

A Scanner Dark Night

12Dec08

Yes, I’m getting cross-chatter.
There are many wrongs, but one right.
Your sins will be read to you ceaselessly, in shifts, throughout eternity. The list will never end.
D… Substance D. “D” is dumbness, and despair, desertion-desertion of you from your friends, your friends from you, everyone from everyone. Isolation and loneliness… and hating and suspecting each other, [...]

Green Shorts

Why am I posting this? The last line. It made me laugh.

Eyes & Lips Open

11Dec08

Kissing with your eyes open. Do you do it? If so, why? Isn’t it a bit creepy, it’s not like you get a clear view of the person’s face when you’re that close. It creates a cyclops effect of your loved one’s face.

Depressing Song Meme

11Dec08

Tagged by FightingWindmills, here’s my nomination for the most depressing song.
Barbara Manning, “End of the Rainbow” from the 1212 album.
I feel for you, you little horror
Safe at your mother’s breast
No lucky break for you around the corner
Cause your father is a bully
And he thinks that you’re a pest
And your sister, she’s no better than a [...]

Light on the Little Things

11Dec08

This morning, Julie calls me into the bathroom. Not to just look in the bathroom, but to join her in there and she proceeds to close the door.
“Look.“
“What?“
She was so happy. “The light. Doesn’t it set the mood better than the overhead light? It goes along with our pictures of dead people, skeleton keys & [...]

Doomsday Vault

11Dec08

Almost every nation keeps collections of native seeds so local crops can be replanted in case of an agricultural disaster. The Global Seed Vault, opened this year on the far-northern Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, is a backup for the backups. It’s badly needed — as many as half the seed banks in developing countries are [...]
