what is it about biking that makes you feel like a kid again? the freedom? the mobility? the wind on your face? it's great.

breakfast



i've had a banana and yogurt for breakfast every day since i started my new job. it's time for a change, but i don't know what. today i tried porridge with cinnamon and sugar, but that's just a stop-gap solution.

social graces


after listening to a song about parents forgetting their myspace page, kids finding it and being embarrassed by their parents, i finally deleted my friendster and myspace page. the last time i had logged into either was over 18 months ago.

i really hope i don't end up regretting the loss of my precious friendster data.

hypocracy


Some people think I fantasize about receiving an Oscar and ask me about the ceremony, but actually I don't care.

365 days every year, Hollywood nudges out interesting, original scripts in favor of blockbuster institutions they hope will sell billions to 14-28 year old males.

.2425 days every year, they pat themselves on the backs for "making art". Please...

concentration


My bus was sideswiped going to work today (felt like a pothole).

Then we had a meeting about the firings that will happen with work.

It's been a hard morning to concentrate on anything productive.

trashy tv squirrel report


**this is a weekday morning trashy TV squirrel report**
with the 50% lack of snow cover, the neighborhood squirrels are venturing further than the bird feeder to uncover hidden nut stashes.

tyra sets up an audience of single people and tranny's out their lover's in front of their lover's girlfriends on maury.

**this ends the weekday morning trashy TV squirrel report**

bathroom enigmas

in the bathroom, a slow-walking, germaphobic, 2-armed, 2-handed student:
* turned the facet on and off with his elbow
* dispensed drying paper with his arm
* then bent down to get his jacket off the floor where it had been sitting while he finished his business.

new language: -am


Quite often I find myself introducing people like: "This is my friend John. He loves dams and he likes ham".

But why do those two facts about John need to be separate? Isn't there a way to simplify?

YES! the suffix -am implies "and ham".

When added to any word, -am implies "and ham". For example: "This is my friend John. He loves damams."

It works anywhere:
* I love your babyam.
* She's a real thinkeram.
* The Louisihaman cheated on his wifam.
* Can I interest you in Green Eggsam, Sam?
* Forget about the Duchess of Buckinghamam.
* He served in 'namam.
