Have mercy

I couldn’t sleep last night, due in part to an upset stomach, but aggravated and perpetuated by the fact that “Kung Foo Fighting” was stuck in my head.

Dear makers of ugly seersucker clothing,

Just make a flipping skirt, ok? Is that so hard?

“Indignance” is not a word, apparently.

Do you want to know how long the spell check and I wrestled over this one today, before at long last I realized that the noun form of indignant is indignation?
No, you do not. Trust me.
Apparently it’s Spencer and myself against the world on this one. I still don’t quite believe it, partly because I [...]

Tell the one about your computer’s built-in cup holder!

Wow. Mad props to the Tribune for giving the task of writing up “fast takes on Web news” to someone who apparently is woefully out of touch with the ol’ tubes. Click to read:

I mean, really. I feel like someone just walked up to me wearing neon parachute pants and suggested we order some ‘za [...]

I take it back; I don’t want it to be summer after all

Big round of applause goes out today to whoever had this room before me. Specifically, whoever thought it was a good idea to throw a cigarette butt into the radiator. I’m sure that’s not the only reason the A/C makes my room smell bad, forcing me to keep the window slightly open in spite of [...]

The carpet in the hallway is wet and squishy! … And now my feet are sticky. WTF?

My thesis topic is turned in; the advisor has been dealing out curt, ego-undermining emails on a weekly basis; and a niggling feeling that now is not when [...]

Supposedly I’m going to hear about my internship today

Sign that my unbelievably productive day yesterday was just covering up a massive anxiety attack: I was up until 2:30 this morning, doing nothing and lamenting having too much to do and not enough time to do it in.
Sign that today will be a good day: Chocolate chip pancakes and tater tots for breakfast

Tea stymie

I was hoping to buy some milk at the shop downstairs, so that I could have some tea and also some of the cookies I have been hoarding for the purpose. However, all the bottles have the date “March 28″ — this in spite of there being no milk available at all last night. This [...]

Shambles

Treating my wounded feet, I have discovered that there is no Neosporin in my so-called first aid bag. I repeat, I have NO NEOSPORIN. This is very inconvenient, as pretty much my entire game plan when it comes to nursing feet centers on the Neosporin.
Further inspection of the bag reveals that my once-impressive collection of [...]
