my mom’s argument against piracy is “well what if you wrote a book and one person bought it and then hundreds of people got to read it for free and you didn’t make any money!”

The only thing 'flat' about me is my note
Late at night, I sing jingles from the 80s and 90s while strolling around in my knickers.
I really want to make a Mentos commercial during these nightly rounds.

Am I missing anything?
I booked my mum’s and my flight to England. I’m looking into what I need to do for my iPhone to still use it abroad to some degree. From what I could Google it seems I should turn fetch off under “mail, contacts, calendar”, turn airplane mode on, function strictly on WiFi, and utilize the Skype app.
Anyone who has been abroad recently, would you recommend getting an...

In Case You Missed It of the Day: For his latest dead-on impersonation of a musician, Jimmy Fallon mashes up David Bowie and Tim Tebow and calls the unholy union “Tebowie.”
[lnwjf.]
I’ll give it to Jimmy, that was amazing. I especially liked Jesus’ reply.

new pet peeve
The abuse of the word “never”: I never heard back from you; You never want to go out; You never return my calls; etc. I believe you need to use the word “didn’t” or “don’t” (depending on context) because if you never heard back from me we wouldn’t have an email chain of correspondence between us; if I never went out I would not have a social...

Hand Holdin'
I have a song I sing to myself at work. It’s to the melody of the “My Buddy” Doll jingle and it goes “hand holdin’ / hand holdin ’ / hand holdin’ by me”.

I'm not an American Football fan....
But I’m a Scott Fujita fan. He’s no longer on the New Orleans Saints hence I do not care about next Sunday.

A physician or medical provider...
Should not give you a 100% guarantee that a treatment or surgery will cure everything and that there are no risks or side effects. Most stable-minding, ethical providers will debrief you mostly on the risks and will discuss alternative treatments, and anyone who will render services like injections or surgery without evaluating you physically should be avoided (not counting emergency surgery...

Woke up early on my last day off...
… to clean out our on-site storage unit only to find that another key-holder (one of the other units or the landlord) broke their key in the main entrance to the individual storage units, so we can’t unlock the door.
Cue applause. Thank you everyone for your lack of trying to fix the damn thing.

Dr. Jackman
(Spoilers) My prediction of his origins before seeing E5 and E6.
If he’s not a descendant of Dr. Jeykll and he’s not a clone, then he’s a descendant of Mr. Hyde. Cause he himself stated he never drank anything or took any experimental drugs.
Although I’m not sure what’s going on with his “mum” Sophie. Probably did fake her own death, and she’s...

Focus your energy on yourself
I was personally told by my WiiFit that I’m obese (back when I used to regularly use it), but I also know that I’m fat AND muscular - I’m bigger than some people, I’m smaller than others. I cycle five miles every gym session without any tears and I pamper my body by going to the gym AND eating what I want. It is my body not anyone else’s, and I will worship it how I...

There better be a resolution by E6 otherwise I’m going to feel unfulfilled. This show is was brilliant!

It’s not even the editor-in-chief like I thought - it’s a writer for the magazine. I went through some of her other tweets and…. (TW: racism and sizeism)
… she’s also someone who thought Aisha Khan staged her abduction “to get out of some bizarre arranged marriage”. Wow, racist and sizeist!
It would be an Ivy League educated yet...

Got into a Twitter brawl with someone
I’m guessing she’s used to saying “science supports..” and getting away with it cause she cowered when I asked her to cite the source. I can’t tell if she’s more of an ICP or TEA debater.
She then spewed FA H8 disguised as comments about “health” all through her tweets.
Leave “science” to us geeks as we know how to reference and...

Whip the cream cheese topping, I'll get the...
Mum and I had a discussion about the original run of Doctor Who versus modern while cooking yesterday. She thinks The Doctor needs no companion.
Me: Which Doctor are you talking about?
Mum: the old man. THE Doctor.
Me: There have been eleven, Mum.
Mum: No. There’s only one Doctor.
Oh Mummy, I almost heard “because I say so” as the basis for your opinion. ;)

Most obnoxious Christmas tradition...
My dad went to high school with this guy Richard. Richard and his wife Jan have been family friends for as long as I can remember. Their youngest son slept with half my high school and is now married to a girl that led my husband on for a few years. Anyway, their family holiday tradition isn’t a Christmas card. No, no. It’s a family newsletter written by Jan (the matriarch) and the...

St. Mary's Church of England Academy →
I was set to go here before my parents “tried again”. I used to wear the shirt for this school as a baby-tee back in the 90s.

Blue Lagoon Waterslides
As I mentioned on one of my other entries, there was a very small waterpark in the next town over that my elementary school frequented as [it], the local bowling alley (defunct and demolished), and the local skating rink (defunct) were the few venues nearby that didn’t cost an arm and a leg to go to.
Blue Lagoon was off of Pena Adobe Rd (38.33615,-122.016086) and is defunct; however, if...

There's going to be a season two?
Really? H-o-w? I thought this was supposed to be a mini-series?! It’s good but please don’t drag it out - I don’t want to treat this like Heroes…

Cookie press to impress
Picked up this bad boy at Michael’s for sale and with an extra coupon.
What kind of cookies should I make: eggnog, peanut butter, mango, sugar, … What?

We're all alone in the end
I saw Buttahlove’s reblog of the “Dreams of a Life” trailer and I began to spiral- I researched Joyce Vincent like crazy and all I could do to not cry like a youngin’ was keep looking… I was disgusted with humanity.
Joyce’s death and ‘invisibility’ made me angry as well. I hate everyone - well, I should say I’m coming down from hating...

Nan, put the kettle on
My postponed Japanese honeymoon time range looks as though it’s becoming a mother-daughter return to the motherland.
Mum told Nan about the idea and now Nana is super excited. I think I should follow through no matter what.
Hell, last time I was there was 16 years ago… I won’t have time to get my BP so my US Passport will be fine - I need to do the footwork though. :-/
