You know you live in San Diego when
It’s January, and you look at the weather, and it says 60 degrees, and you get mad.
I wonder what my parents think when they see the...
Dear Microsoft Excel
Most of the time I love you, but right now I want to punch you in the face. Why are you screwing up like this. And making my life difficult. Oh my god I hate you so much right now and I don’t know how to fix it and I tried turning my computer off and then trying again and you’re still doing it and I don’t know what to do cause I have to turn these things in on Tuesday and you...
If you can pronounce correctly every word in this...

Everyone’s gonna reblog this and be like, wow, cool I can pronounce words better than everybody omg.
Wow, cool I can pronounce words better than everybody omg.
But seriously? Kind of fun to read through it aloud and laugh at how absurd the English language is sometimes.

tarrinj asked: omfg you're so adorable.
WatchThis is for Tarrin, who is a black boy. And apparently feels like it’s really important for all of us to know that, because he’s posted the same photograph of himself twice in the last day.
This is also a video about nothing, so if you’re expecting great things…go elsewhere. This is not the video you’re looking for.
tarrinj asked: Hahaha, oh, my god, that's not even what I was thinking! My favorite part of your other video is when you say "but..", so just talk. I don't even care what -- talk about your day, your cat -- you just have a delightful voice.
tarrinj asked: Ya know, I was counting on more videos from you and I have been so far disappointed. :(
I miss eggnog :(
There's a little tiny bug following me around my...
My life is so hard right now.

Not super explanatory, but kind of neat to watch anyway
Can someone please explain to me
How on earth it’s week 4 already?
Watching Skins is so emotionally exhausting for me
I care so much about these people.
And also—I care so much about you.
I'm awake at 6:30 on Sunday morning
To drag my ass to school to work on a group project in the Light Lab. Because our TA thinks it’s fun to assign group work on Wednesday and make it due Monday. And because everyone in my group has such a complicated life that the ONLY TIME they were all available is right now.
Let’s just get this over with so I can come home and go back to bed.
So I was at work today
In the second class, which is 4-6 year olds. And I’ve been thinking about this job a lot lately and wondering if it’s worth it cause it’s only once a week and it’s Saturday mornings, but I dragged myself out of bed today to go.
And I’m standing there ready to go across the floor with two girls, doing tap.
And one of them, Nora, looks up at me and very...
I am not a music person
And this is not a music blog
But I asked Genius to make me a playlist when I was up at one a.m. editing a group project and this is what it came up with and I loved it. And then I may have ended up dancing around in my underwear a little.
The World Spins Madly On - The Weepies
Breakable - Ingrid Michaelson
Where Does the Good Go - Tegan and Sara
Always Love - Nada Surf
Speeding Cars -...
One a.m.
I’m finally done editing this group project and going to bed.
Who wants to take bets on whether or not I go to my 8 a.m. class tomorrow?
TMI Tuesdays?
Is that a thing? I feel like I missed a memo.
Whatever. We all know I like to talk about myself.
Shoot.
My roommate's making me red velvet cake
For no reason other than I wanted it, and asked nicely
This is why she’s awesome.
I got ten minutes into MTV Skins and couldn't do...
It’s awful. It’s so far beyond awful.
I might have given them credit if they had tried something new and daring and it had failed, but they didn’t. They ripped off the UK series literally word for word in places, and it falls horridly flat.
The acting and casting is awful. I don’t believe these people. I could do a fucking better job than that. I have two dozen...
tarrinj asked: I was listening to this podcast and they were talking about how a 'gut' feeling or any 'unexplained' inclination to one thing over the other is your subconscious giving you a round 'sum' of all of your previous experiences, and that your brain 'flags' or 'bookmarks' not your memories, necessarily, but how certain things made you feel and...

"Novel" #23: Blink
by Malcolm Gladwell
Ok, so this is nonfiction and therefore not a novel, but I read it anyway and I’ll do what I want cause I get to make up the rules for this game and so there.
I really liked this book. It talks about our subconscious decision making processes, and presents an argument that sometimes listening to our first instinct is more productive than spending hours deliberating and...

Boobs all over my dash this morning.
Le sigh.

Some women are keepers.
Porn makes me feel creepy, like I’m watching someone else’s private moment.
Like, I know that they’ve agreed to be on film and they’re totally into it or whatever, but it makes me think about how I’d feel if I was with a guy in bed and there was this peanut gallery of depraved...
