your hamster richard

This article will always reaffirm that yes, your life isn't as bad as waking up on Christmas expecting the stereo you've asked Santa for only to see your hamster Richard alone and dead in the box... or having no option other than a yellow custard-like blob for dinner.

It is hilarious and real. Happy Friday.

It seems like all you need is .50 to get a cool toy either with or placed into your ice cream cone. I really hope it's the latter, in which case, Heritage Farm Ice Cream & Restaurant would hands down be the best ice cream place in this state. It's hard to beat toys in ice cream.

swagger like us

Sitting in the car listening to M.I.A. and waiting for my roommate. I was looking out the window at a busy intersection a couple of hours ago and saw a man holding a large fountain soda cup for change. Usually I'd write him off as a con artist or a man homeless because he spent all his money on alcohol (clearly, the glass is half full). But then I thought about where my change usually ends up-- in a jar at home or lost in random drawers, bags, etc. It's never been something that I've noticeably missed or placed much value in.  So, I think I'll hand over change from now on; and there's always a small chance that the people asking for it could genuinely need it.

Cheeseburgers, fries, onion rings, coffee and oreo frappes. So awesome.

Highlight from this day: finding one of those elastic sticky hands that you used to chuck at walls. Fact: she found it.

Haven't read the article yet, but this title deserves its own post.

Seen en route to work. Even the Canadian geese won't go into the water.

not a real word

I know "unincriminating" is not a word. But, it could be. Making up this word is really my way of getting past the fact that someone already has "incriminating." I'm no badass anyway, so this is all very fitting.

Main point: I'm starting this blog so I can keep in touch with two awesome friends who are moving to Deutschland because apparently emails, facebook, myspace, twitter, gchat, and skype just aren't enough-- having friends is more meaningful when everyone else knows about them. In all seriousness though, they are legitimately cool so you should check out their site.

Happy Easter and welcome.
