I posess distinct affinity for tasty foods, the English language, wit, computer programming, and for the absurd.

A couple of things in no particular order.
  • The water coming from the tap in my apartment occaisonally smells strongly of marijuana. I guess now we know why I giggle more when I am particularly hydrated.
  • The neighbor with whom I share a wall is playing The Rolling Stones rather loudly. I am playing The Fiery Furnaces. It is one of the strangest mixes of sounds I've ever heard.
  • This is my first complete day off in a long time - no responsibilities at all! I've read the entire Questionable Content archives. Time well spent; thank you J. J.
  • Fact: It takes about 3 thick coats of Mod Podge to get paper mostly water-proof! Now you know!
  • I haven't written anything in a long time. This is slightly disconcerting. (Well, nothing unless you count a C++ program which asks the user to input their age, and replies with a snarky comment about whether or not they should be consuming alcohol. Hey, it beats "Hello, World!", right?)
  • I am shopping for a new car, adding to my already numerous fiscal worries. (I'm working on some sort of estimate describing how much beer I cannot buy while maintaining financial responsibility in lieu of purchasing an automobile. (Man, I would get so much programming done... (No, I do not subscribe to this hypothesis. (Or, in fact, most of his hypotheses...(Hypothesi?)))))
Wow, that last bullet had a lot of fucking parentheses at the end. (I maintain that those words should be "hypothesi" and "parenthesi." Firefox's spell-check disagrees.)

And now, some pictures of things I don't really like!:

A pigeon!
(He looks extremely concerned, which is a little bit cute, I guess.)


A bidet!
(I mean seriously, what the hell? Fellow ladies, just take a goddamn shower or something.)

Note: The Google Image results for "pigeon bidet" were entirely disappointing, even with SafeSearch off.
