Somebody please take him to the aquarium
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008Can’t remember whose blog I saw this on, but it is guaranteed to make you smile.
Some of us take coffee very seriously
Thursday, June 12th, 2008Thanks to Tracey for pointing me here. I hung this up in our breakroom yesterday:
So far it’s not working very well. I’m still finding empty coffee pots that people are not refilling. Motherflippin’ TIGERS, people. FEAR THEM.
Dose of science for the day
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Check out these videos made by my friend in my old lab at GSU. The first one explains a bit about the research, and the second one was made by my friend. It’s kind of funny (even though I hate the song he chose). I miss my crabs (no, not THAT kind [...]
I rap about witches and trolls.
Monday, April 14th, 2008Oh man, I can’t believe I haven’t written about this. Go to YouTube right now and search “Flight of the Conchords.” Flight of the Conchords is the best thing to come out of New Zealand since I don’t know what. Josh, Tracey, and I spent about 2 hours one night watching all [...]
Blogging for people too lazy to write whole posts
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008Anybody out there use Twitter? I’ve heard of it before, but in a moment of boredom I decided to sign up for it.
The microblog version of Gnomograms
Maybe I will keep up with it, maybe I won’t. But that’s the charm of the internet: there is always a way to waste time with it.
(Permanent [...]
Happy Leap Day
Friday, February 29th, 2008Happy Leap Day! I am trying to get Josh to buy me this as a Leap Day present.
He’s not going for it, though. But I am determined to wear him down. Oh yes, I will get my emu baby IF IT’S THE LAST THING I DO.
Man Stroke Woman
Monday, January 7th, 2008I have to give my friend Tracey full credit for introducing me to Man Stroke Woman, a sketch comedy show from the UK. It has the guy in it who played Shaun’s best friend in Shaun of the Dead, and it upholds my view that everything is funnier with British people in it. [...]
Savvy?
Monday, September 17th, 2007Work has been a whole basket o’ drama in the wake of The Great Remedy Crash of 2007 (Remedy is the name of the software we use to keep track of customer data). Also we were short-handed again today so my brain is toast. I can’t summon the mental faculties to write much [...]
A little (un)deadpan humor from CNN
Monday, August 27th, 2007Live from London: ZOMBIES.
I [heart] CNN.com. Mwah!
It are Friday
Friday, May 18th, 2007Finally! This site is worth looking at again. I found a theme that was much easier to edit. With a few clicks of the mouse and a few tweaks of the stylesheet, voila. My gnome-wrapped-in-CAT5 had to go, unfortunately. I couldn’t find a way to squeeze it in neatly. [...]
Thoughts about nothing
Monday, May 14th, 2007I had a whole bunch of serious things I intended to write about today, but it’s Monday and I don’t quite have the energy for it. So here are some random thoughts instead:
I have lost 3 more pounds. Go me! I have never been so proud of myself in my whole life.
I [...]
I broke Rayd
Tuesday, May 8th, 2007Yes, I’m the one who broke the Rayd main page because I am an idiot who can’t read. But I fixed it! Except for that little doodad in the upper left corner. I don’t know where that came from. Consider it my gift to all of you.
The big move!
Friday, April 20th, 20078 posts shy of 200, I am moving this blog. I’ve had two blogs for awhile now. Some friends of mine gave me some webspace a long time ago, and I had a neglected, often un-updated blog over there. This blog has been my pet into which I put all my posting energy. I originally [...]
Internet gems
Thursday, April 19th, 2007Man. I have started clinching my teeth in the past week, mostly at night but sometimes during the day, too. Does anybody know of a good remedy for that? It’s so bad my molars and jaw muscles are starting to hurt, and I’ve completely chewed up the inside of my mouth.
So I [...]
The world sucks, but here are some webcomics to make it all better
Wednesday, April 18th, 2007I have been at a loss for something to write about the last few days. I’m sure the rest of the blogosphere is chattering away about this week’s events, but I doubt I have anything original or thought-provoking to add. I will say I’ve been unnaturally bummed about this shooting business, considering I have no [...]
Mmm…Jello
Monday, April 16th, 200710 days left at the University! Let the countdown begin!
Boy, I have got my work cut out for me for these next 10 workdays. I probably shouldn’t even be blogging, but my brain doesn’t get in work mode until 9am. That leaves me an hour to goof off and guzzle my coffee like it’s going [...]
You mean…you really *can* be a scientist AND a Christian?
Wednesday, April 4th, 2007Sorry I didn’t post anything yesterday. I really couldn’t come up with anything that would be worth your time to read. It was an mind-numbingly boring day yesterday. I was in the lab by myself for most of the day. Let me tell you, when you are in a room without [...]
I find anything with cats in it particularly hilarious
Monday, April 2nd, 2007Bwahahahahaaa…go read this. The pictures, by the way, are teh awesome.
Eek.
Thursday, March 29th, 2007There are definitely some crazy mofos on the interwebs. I’ve never read her blog, but I came across the link on another blog I read. Very disturbing and not for the faint of heart.
Before my head explodes…
Saturday, March 17th, 2007I’ve had a huge headache all afternoon, so this Toothpaste for Dinner comic is all I can muster for a post:
The nanny state
Monday, March 12th, 2007I was going to post something else today, but then I saw this article, which I’m reposting below since the AJC is sometimes weird about allowing access to their articles.

Booze laws highlight GOP struggle over less government

Toothpaste for Dinner
Friday, March 9th, 2007I have a new favorite webcomic. I’ve come across some of these comics before, but I’d never really bothered to check out the site until the day before yesterday. The site? Toothpaste For Dinner. I spent a lot of time perusing the archives and laughing hysterically. Maybe for some of [...]
Props to the double X chromosomes
Thursday, March 8th, 2007Last Sunday, I went to a baby shower for my friend Jenna. She’s having a baby in April. I volunteered to cook for the shower. When I volunteered, I thought there were only a few people coming, but in the end I was told to plan for 30. I’ve never cooked for that many people [...]
Hold onto your socks, it’s a weekend recap
Monday, February 26th, 2007Here’s an interesting website that you can use to waste time. It’s a site that lets you go back in time and see what your favorite websites used to look like. I spent some time perusing the September 11th archived sites from CNN.com and the like. Interesting, but creepy. Really creepy. So creepy, in fact, [...]
LOST is lost, pretty much.
Friday, February 23rd, 2007Hey, so does anybody besides me still watch LOST? Just curious. After last night’s episode, however, I may not be watching for much longer because, geez. Talk about boring. Boring and also lamer than FDR’s legs (sorry, couldn’t resist). An entire episode dedicated to Jack’s tattoos? Seriously. I [...]
Funny bunny
Friday, February 16th, 2007I was surfing the web tonight and looking at knitting stuff when I came across the most awesome picture in the entire world. This, my friends, is an Angora rabbit.
I can’t stop laughing. Three cheers for Wikipedia. If you would like to see more Angoras, you can go here.
Some guy says what I’ve been thinking for the past 6 months
Tuesday, February 13th, 2007This article–written by a scientist for scientists–may interest some of you. It’s a little on the pessimistic side, but I’d have to say it sums up EXACTLY my feelings/thoughts about why science is not a feasible career for everyone.
A few lines I particularly enjoyed:
“Young Americans have generally woken up to the bad prospects and absence [...]
I [heart] my crabs
Monday, February 12th, 2007No time to write, so this one goes out to my crabs. You know, the blue ones who live in tanks that I do experiments on. Maybe you should go read the previous entry if you are confused.
CNN.com: doing its part to create hypochondriacs
Tuesday, February 6th, 2007Did you know that CNN.com has an ENTIRE section dedicated to the ways you and your family could possibly die in a tragic accident? I didn’t, either, until now.
It’s called “Danger Zones.”
Today they have an article on how dangerous Easy Bake ovens can be. And also? They have a quiz you can take where you [...]
Linkapalooza!
Wednesday, January 31st, 2007Firstly, I was reminded tonight when I saw a picture of a badger (posted on Your Mom’s on the Internet, go check it out) how much I LOVE THIS VIDEO. You gotta watch at least until the snake part. In the category of “Things That Make Me Giggle Uncontrollably So Much That My [...]
Long live the interweb!
Monday, January 29th, 2007May I introduce you to…
Your Mom’s on the Internet
Several of us have started an internet scavenger hunt, and we need more recruits. Go read the blog–it explains everything–and join us because the internet is one big freak show full of crazy pictures to be discovered.
You say "fascist," I say "facets"
Friday, January 26th, 2007Sorry about that last post, but sometimes a girl’s gotta vent. I could vent again today about another injustice I suffered at work today, but I really should draw a line somewhere with the whining. Instead, I shall focus all of my outrage towards the greatest spelling/word-misuse error I have ever seen in my entire [...]
You say “fascist,” I say “facets”
Friday, January 26th, 2007So, um, I’ll admit: I’m a spelling snob. May I share this little nugget with you.
The background: I’ve developed a recent fascination with beekeeping. Why is a story for another time. I randomly googled “beekeeping in Georgia,” and I happened to come upon the Georgia Beekeeping Association’s website.
The Error: While perusing the site, I found this little [...]
Mmm, snarky needlepoint.
Tuesday, January 16th, 2007So nothing much exciting to report on today. Let’s hear it for MLK Day and a free day off from work. I could’ve spent it doing something constructive, but instead, I slept in, played a little Zelda on Josh’s Wii, upgraded our aquarium, ate some really good sushi, did some laundry, and knitted a little [...]
“Drive by: Miami-style”
Friday, January 12th, 2007This is for anyone who thinks David Caruso’s one-liners are cheesy beyond belief on CSI:Miami–especially his say-a-line-then-put-on-sunglasses delivery. I give you…Carusoisms! (Sorry, I couldn’t embed it).
Carusoisms
"Drive by…Miami-style."
Friday, January 12th, 2007Alright, so I can’t think of one cohesive subject to write about today, and so I give you…Random Thoughts!
My coffee habit? Totally out of control these days. If you’re counting by 8oz cups, I am probably on Cup #4 by now. It’s only 10:30am. Every addict needs to blame something or someone for their habit, [...]
Oh snap, it’s linear tetrapyrroles and a VW commercial
Friday, January 5th, 2007You know what I like? Linear tetrapyrroles, that’s what.
That’s bilirubin. It’s in your blood, in the hemoglobin. I don’t really know what it does. I just wanted a nice picture of a linear tetrapyrrole. You might be asking yourself at this point why I have this sudden fascination with linear tetrapyrroles. Here is my response:
Saying [...]
A New Look
Saturday, December 23rd, 2006Since everyone else is making their blogs look nice and updated and all, I figured I’d join in. Josh updated this to the new version of Wordpress, and I found a nice, new template to go along with it. I haven’t finished categorizing everything yet, but hopefully I’ll do that soon. I also can’t figure [...]
CNN.com article
Thursday, December 14th, 2006I came across this article on CNN.com today. It’s not exceptionally deep, but I still thought it was right on.
What the hell happened to Christianity?
Attack of the Plastic Jack-o-lantern
Friday, November 10th, 2006I saw this story today (that was a link). It’s horrible, but it still made me laugh.
I (heart) my Escort
Wednesday, November 1st, 2006I was looking up some stuff because Josh and I are getting new car insurance, and I came across this review of my car. It made me laugh, and it describes my little Ford Escort perfectly.

I made the switch
Friday, October 6th, 2006If you would kindly look to the right-hand side of the screen, you will notice some new features to my prolific yet somewhat boring blog. I have upgraded to Blogger Beta, and so far, it’s really working out for me. I have much love for the “labels” feature–I’ve seen it on Wordpress and other blogging [...]
Everyone loves a saucy squeeze
Saturday, April 15th, 2006While I was in Australia, they showed this commercial a lot, and it absolutely cracked me up everytime. You may or may not think it’s as funny as I do, but here it is (click on the one called “Squeeze Sauces”).

What I do everyday
If you’re a grad student, trust me, these comics are right on the money. I’ve spent several hours reading them and then just cracking up. It’s good to know that everyone else feels as depressed and stressed as me. The guy who writes them is comin to [...]

Tuesday, May 10th, 2005You gotta check out this website. After I read through it, I was completely speechless. Some of these are funny and some are unspeakably sad.
