So I have a silly confession to make. Whenever I’m feeling particularly loser-ish about something, I Google it because inevitably I’ll find 18 million articles about other people who feel the same way, do the same thing, etc. Goofy, I know, but the Internet is full of weirdos. The more weirdos there [...]
Can’t remember whose blog I saw this on, but it is guaranteed to make you smile.
Thanks 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.
Check 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 [...]
Oh 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 [...]
Anybody 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! 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.
I 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. [...]
Live from London: ZOMBIES.
I [heart] CNN.com. Mwah!
Yes, 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.
8 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 [...]
Man. 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 [...]
I 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 [...]
10 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 [...]
Sorry 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 [...]
Bwahahahahaaa…go read this. The pictures, by the way, are teh awesome.
There 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.
I’ve had a huge headache all afternoon, so this Toothpaste for Dinner comic is all I can muster for a post:
I 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

Less than two years ago it looked as if Gov. Sonny [...]
I 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 [...]
Last 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 [...]
Here’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, [...]
Hey, 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 [...]
I 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.
This 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 [...]
No 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.
Did 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 [...]
Firstly, 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 [...]
May 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.
Sorry 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 [...]
So, 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 [...]
So 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 [...]
This 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
Alright, 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, [...]
You 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 [...]
Since 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 [...]
I 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?
I saw this story today (that was a link). It’s horrible, but it still made me laugh.
I 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.
The little car that could
If 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 [...]
While 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”).
Saucy squeezes
Somebody’s figured out my life EXACTLY:
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 [...]
You gotta check out this website. After I read through it, I was completely speechless. Some of these are funny and some are unspeakably sad.
