Playing With Food

As I was cutting up vegetables for the salad tonight, I never thought about doing this with them:

Feel Like Dancing?

I stumbled upon this video--hope you enjoy.

So Behind The Times!

The Volokh Conspiracy finally got around to posting this fun little link today. Boy sent it to me a week ago. Tsk. It was also really quite late with its news about the cartoon primer I'm sure you all remember--the one where stick figures explain the subprime mortgage crisis.

I guess it's nice that whatever else is going on, at least I'm ahead of the curve on important things.

Yet Another Distraction

Because you cannot have too many fun things to do on the Internet(s). (Warning, safe for work but deadly for productivity.)

And there's only so much political news you can ready, apparently.

Need Distraction In Class?

Try feeding the world. Great fun--who knew a big vocabulary would be so, er, fulfilling?

GirlChild is entirely to blame for telling me about it.

It Must Have Been A Night To Remember

I was searching Craigslist for an answer to my dilemma--I have to go to a flea market or estate sale for my negotiations class and, let me tell you, this is so not the week for me to be doing that, for a multitude of reasons.

Anyway, that explains what I was doing poking around on Craigslist. Now I wonder what this person's excuse is? The ad (with phone number x'd out):

Lost. Very dark green Audi A6. Pink child seat in rear. Orange parking permit on Mirror. Drank to much on Friday and cannot locate my car. Police have no info, and I am desperate. If you can verify plate number, please call xxx-xxx-xxxx and I will meet you at the location with a cash reward. Thanks.

I Have Personality

I had to take one of those on-line personality evaluations for a class. Here are the results.

ISTJ -  "Trustee". Decisiveness in practical affairs. Guardian of time- honored institutions. Dependable. 11.6% of total population.

Free Jung Personality Test (similar to Myers-Briggs/MBTI)

I'm not sure what to think about this. I hate these tests. Does this mean I'm a decent and honorable person? How would it know? The test doesn't ask important things, such as do you like chocolate, or revealing things, such as how often do you go to bed without brushing your teeth.

Bulbous Bouffant Redux

A long time ago I posted a link to Bulbous Bouffant, which is a marvelous little piece for anyone who loves the sound of words.

But tonight GirlChild stumbled upon an even better version--a fabulously illustrated version. Enjoy!

Seven Things About Yours Truly

LL decided that I needed to spend some time avoiding class work and LR duties.

1. I can tie a cherry stem into a knot. Yes, the way you think. It’s a great party trick.
2. My best time at Sudoku’s hard level is 3:31.
3. I met my husband at a fraternity party. I was seventeen, he was in grad school.
4. I startle extremely easily. There’s nothing I can do about it. I feel bad when people feel bad for startling me.
5. My favorite flower is lily-of-the-valley. It has grown in every garden I’ve had, except for in Florida.
6. I cry when I’m furious, and clean when I’m devastated. I scrubbed bathrooms the day my grandmother died. But when I’m just depressed, I neither cry nor clean.
7. I despise bananas. They are a curse upon the face of the earth.

I've no idea who to tag with this meme. The likely suspects have already been tagged. Have at it, if you like.

UPDATE: I have no idea what happened to the formatting of this post. Sorry about that, hope it's fixed now.

Literate And Nerdy

When you have nothing to say, post a quiz.

What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Literature Nerd   Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works. It's okay. I understand.
