My roommate had to hear my squeak when I watched the SAG memorial video.
How about a spoiler alert! Some of us are watching on DVR. :)
Beautiful

Its in the mid-70s here and BEAUTIFUL…YAYYYYYYY!!!
It’s downright hot today
Since after lunch yesterday, I have spent over 6 hours just highlighting excerpts from hundreds of pages.
For some reason they didn’t show this part on Boston Legal or Law & Order.
This post by Katie-Mac reminded me of a funny story about my sister.
When she was in like 5th grade, one of the questions on her social studies test was about how Native American tribes farmed in dry areas.
Obviously, the answer the teacher was looking for “irrigation.”
My sister answered “It was hard, but they managed.”
My mom argues to this day that my sister should...
Where to find Girl Scout cookies! →
postgradslump:
Just enter your zipcode, and it will tell you not only where to purchase the cookies, but the date & time you can buy them as well.
I was super excited about this until I realized it’s just or Pennsylvania. Womp. Womp.
It’s now 11:30 and I have done maybe 30 minutes of work today. Granted, I think I’ve earned this after working over 44 hours over the last 4 days.
Me: There needs to be a better way to buy theatre tickets. I was looking at the West Side Story presale and when i click 'best available', it keeps giving me seats on the very end of the row. Maybe those are the best, but how do i know the system's idea of best and my idea of best are the same?
Katie-Mac: yeah truth
Me: it should just pull up a map of the facility and show available seats and you can click on them, like picking seats on an airplane
Katie-Mac: yeah that would be better for sure
me: i should've saved all these thoughts for tumblr, i've really been tumblr slacking lately
Katie-Mac: yeah i didnt want to say anything but you suck
Meeting a midnight deadline with 4 minutes to...
My prior life as a journalist really came in handy tonight.
You know what they don't teach you in law school?
How to turn a 22-page document into a 10-page document to comply the the court’s page limit rules.
I’ve been totally tumblr MIA since Friday night. What did I miss?
Welcome to Waco
Random Waco townie to our Korean friend Pete: “So do you work in computer science?”
Heading to a rehearsal dinner at the Dr. Pepper museum. It’s ok to be jealous.
My boss just poked his head in and said I’m doing great work.
I’ve done like 90 minutes worth of work since I got here at 8am. Looks like I just got unintentionally guilt-tripped into busting ass until 5.

Welp, gonna have to find a new Chinese restaurant
I was leaving my regular lunch place today and there was an Asian guy standing by the door, so I looked at him and said ‘thank you’. Didn’t realize until I was out the door that he was a customer, not an employee, and that I’m just racist.

they probably were expecting you to wash her hair in the kitchen sink!
Hahaha, that totally never occured to me. I was just picturing my parents picturing me and The Girl showering together.
Gather around boys and girls, it’s awkward story time.
So last night, my parents came over to our apartment to watch the game and have dinner. While cooking, The Girl cut a pretty nice sized chunk out of her thumb. Later in the evening, she expressed concern as to how she was going to wash her hair.
At this point, both of my parents simultaneously suggest that I can do it.
I have...

I always love a great ‘how to’… click through for the full read.
Know about history and politics. Read about music. Read about current events. Take notes. Memorize them. Get interested in something. Hiking. Sushi. Cubism. Exude “Take me skydiving with you,” not “Milk makes me gassy.” Do not lose focus in the presence of others—you might repeat yourself...

mavieenrose:
and seriously - please don’t go to law school unless you really really want to be a lawyer. it’s not worth the money otherwise.
Yup.
My dad was a lawyer/judge which greatly influenced my decision to not go to law school. The market for lawyers has changed drastically since the over-hyped ideal that you would be like Tom Cruise in “The Firm”.
I couldn’t...
The NFL playoffs and ABC Family have provided for a great afternoon. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory earlier and now Aladdin!
Is there a reason that a federal judge getting murdered is just a throwaway line in today’s news?
If I could figure out how to record a video on my computer, I would make a regional dialect video.

how much did you give him?
None. He probably would’ve just spent it on booze and crack.
A little asian kid (like 2-3 maybe, I’m terrible with kids ages) just walked into my office and asked if I had any money he could borrow. What the fuck?
Vote for Mike!

Michael has been very inspirational in his journey in life; he was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome at an early age and has overcome that by maintaining good grades in school, making the honor role in several grades. His social skills have improved tremendously and he is a boy scout and has been for 4 years now. He also participates...
katie-mac replied to your post: But then there won’t be anyone left. :(
I think there is not a thing wrong with giving an aTm grad a chance. Much better than the other awkward people who you would have had me give multiple chances.
I want you to give awkward guys multiple chances because it’s hard to tell if they’re actually awkward or just nervous as hell because it’s the...

Guy in front of me at Potbelly just ordered mayo on his meatball sub. I put mayo on hot dogs so maybe I can’t judge, but that sounds really fucking gross.
Is it cheating to do a book on tape for 50 books?
I don’t really like audiobooks but I looked up Assasination Vacation by Sarah Vowell per the Illini’s suggestion and the audio book sounds AMAZING!
The music is by Michael Giacchino, the composer for Up! and Lost. And the cast of the audiobook, my god!
Conan O’Brien as Robert Todd Lincoln
Eric Bogosian as John Wilkes Booth
Stephen King as Abraham Lincoln
Dave Eggers as Mike...
watchingithappen replied to your photo: Book #1: Bloody Crimes: The Chase for Jefferson…
Try some of Sarah Vowells stuff she’s great at historical books + her commentary is sharp. Asassination Vacation about the other POTUS shot is my favorite.
Thanks! I’ll check it out.

I’ve found that I like buying books more than I like reading them so I’m going to use this 50 Books business as an excuse to actually read all of the books that I buy
