Malnutrition

I have an exam tomorrow in Nutritional Science, and of course I am studying right now. I can't remember the last time I was this uninterested in learning something!

Maybe that's a bad sign.

A purse blog, ha!

Blustery day

When walking on campus, how is that the wind seems to come from every direction? This morning, I was walking through a particularly windy area, thinking, "once I round this corner, it won't be so blustery!" But I was wrong. It was windier.

A few minutes later, I approached an area that looked nice and warm, sheltered from the wind but still in the sun. Amazingly, the wind was blasting even in that cove!

And now my ears hurt.

What the hell is going on here?

Happy birthday to my glasses

You'll have to excuse the goofy self-portrait, but I've had my glasses for a year now. Yes, I like my new identity just fine.

Tiny wearable clock

Yes, I deleted a post. Here's why.

A couple of days ago, I made a snarky post about hard-to-explain search requests over on johnzeratsky.com. Anyway, I deleted that post, for three reasons:

1. It wasn't very nice.
2. In the age of Google, nothing goes unnoticed.
3. I am a coward.

Every Super Bowl ad, online

Beware blatant idiocy.

(Actually, there were some rather good ads. But on the whole, they were dumb and even insulting -- especially those Napster ones.)

New neckwear spotted at the 142

My roommate Nick has taken to wearing his new iPod shuffle around his neck, as advertised. When I first saw the ads with people doing this, I thought, "what kind of a nerd wears a gadget around their neck?" but now I have to admit, it looks pretty cool.

(I was also skeptical about the prospects of people wearing the iPod mini on their belts, but they seem to have taken to that okay.)

Also, bonus points for Nick, because not only does he wear the shuffle around his neck -- he drops it in the BP when not in use.

By the way

Since I am a 13-year-old girl, I took this quiz a few minutes ago.

Turns out, I'm Kip (who's surprised?)

What's that look for? You're just jealous cuz I've been chatting with babes on the internet all day long...

Chocolates

My mom gave me a box of chocolates (left over from Christmas) the last time I was home. Foolishly, I put it on my keyboard tray (just to the left of my keyboard) because I couldn't think of a better spot. Warning flags should now be flying for anyone reasonable enough to see the problems with eating at the computer. Let's just say I am well aware of these problems (my sorta-white keyboard gives that away), but haven't learned any lessons.

Anyway, now I eat chocolates at the computer. In fact, I am eating one right now. This is probably having some deformative effect on my dietary habits, but that will be a thing of the past once I finish this box off. Which will be soon.

p.s. no Forrest Gump jokes allowed in the comments!
