Won $100 out of the penny slots, but I sort of wish I hadn’t. I may have won some money, but I’ve lost the right to point out how completely and utterly stupid you are to expect to win a dime out of a slot machine.
For the remainder of Lent, I am giving up use of the phrase “in this economy…”
Happy 3² day!

I’d love this stupid job if I had more to do all day. Internet, you are getting boring.
I can now say that I’ve eaten grasshoppers. Thank you, Travel Channel. Without your programs I probably never would have thought “I should order the most ridiculous thing I can find.” It was interesting. I probably won’t do it again though. Not a fan of exoskeletons. They are...

Someone left the cake out in the rain :-(
(oh god why do i like this song, it is ridiculous)
What is wrong with a plain old rake?
I can’t wait for it to snow, so the Monday morning leaf-blower madness will end.
Then again, they’ll probably drag out a snowblower.
This kinda blows.
I am becoming a book snob
If one more of my friends tells me I need to read those vampire twilight books I will punch them in the mouth. The only thing those books have going for them are the covers, and you know what they say about those…
A mess
How the heck did I get bug bites in November? It’s only one batch of bites, so I doubt it’s anything living in the apartment. I’m pretty sure these happened outside. But I’ve got three of them right on my forehead (one of which is big and ugly), and one right on the inside of my elbow. Between them and the super purple bruise on my other elbow I really look like a winner...
Subway art project?
What the heck is going on between DeKalb and the bridge? I saw this lit up area behind some wooden slats a little while ago and I thought maybe it was an abandoned station (which would have been cool enough if it were the case). But today I was standing and facing it as I passed and I saw rocketships taking off and stuff. There’s a series of paintings back there, and the slats make it look...
Halloween in NY
I got called a cracker for the first time ever, it was awesome. I’m going to live in NY forever. But I’m never going near another parade again. I think I broke an “elbowing people” record.

Should have been born before the printing press
Took over that poor guy’s job today.
His spreadsheets are making me dizzy. He’s got everything color-coded and things all neatly checked off and yes/no all over the place, and saves a new copy every day.
I leave post-its and handwritten notes all over my desk. When I run out of space I hold it in my head.
This is going to be a mess.
Confession Thursday
Guilty of thievery in the workplace -

"Quaint"?
I think I just got insulted for living in Brooklyn.
Oblivious
I got on the wrong train yesterday. Something in my brain must have shorted out. I looked up, thought “that’s not my train,” looked back down, and stepped right through the doors. I was halfway to Bay Ridge before I figured it out.
In related news, A Confederacy of Dunces is the best thing I’ve read in quite a while.
Please 'splain
I keep thinking that if I read things about the collider real slow and squint and maybe even sweat a little, maybe I’ll start to understand. Then again I didn’t do so hot in my “physics for dumbasses’ class six years ago, so I don’t think there’s much hope that I’ll ever comprehend the thing.
Crossing my fingers for strangelets, either way.

let me tell you about my morning banana
if the fruit cart guy gives you a banana discount in the morning because you are a repeat customer then it may be a sign that you are eating too many bananas
these extra nickels make my pockets look fat
Thanks, new job
I never wanted to be that douchebag that shows defensive palms and says “I didn’t make the rules.” But now, I am that douchebag.
TV is so dumb
“Accelerated production schedule” was not a phrase that came up when they called me for this job.
Tumblr-ing from work
Holy crap I have a desk.
More flies than a dumpyard
Somebody please solve our housefly problem. I found a pair of them having relations on our bathroom sink this morning.
Preferable solutions do not include hanging flypaper.
