On my way to work this morning, I saw a license plate that read “PADAWAN” and actually said out loud, “What a dork!” Then about half a second later I realized that just for knowing what the license plate meant relegated me to dork status, too. For those non-dorks out there, Padawan, is a Star Wars reference to a Jedi in training. I’d elaborate, but I think I’ve already established myself as a big dork.
Ouch! Slashdot reporting that 50,000 IT jobs have bit the dust in the last year. Can you say “cloud?”
Today has been a movie marathon. First I went to see The Dark Knight; then came home and watched The Mothman Prophecies; capping off the evening with my latest Netflix movie, Live Free or Die Hard (I’m actually still watching it - I like to multitask). Yes, this post will get to the ice cream part, promise.
I decided to break out the Moosetracks Ice Cream, but my freezer was apparently too cold, so I thought I’d set the ice cream out and let it thaw a bit. Well, “a bit” turned out to be like an hour. Oops! Ah, but there’s a silver lining! For those who know what Moosetracks ice cream is, you’ll know that there are little tiny chocolate peanut butter cups burried in the ice cream, like little nuggets of heaven. And when ice cream is melted, they are much easier to find! I’m sure just buying Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups would be much easier, but fishing for them in ice cream was kinda fun. :)
Shocking visual representation of how many plastic bottles we waste. Learn more at http://www.container-recycling.org/plasfact/bottledwater.htm.
When we are born, it is called a birth day. When you get married, it is called your wedding day. So, I have a couple of questions that have been nagging me…
Why do we celebrate “birthdays” but not “weddingdays?” For weddings, we celebrate “anniversaries” because it’s the anniversary of our wedding day. Duh. So, why don’t we celebrate the anniversaries of our birth days? Or, conversely, why don’t we celebrate weddingdays (all one word)?
All I’m asking for is a little consistency; is that too much?
These are the things I think about some times.
