Tass and Enotsola
  • Plan to have no stylish girls.
  • Crazy about being able to lovingly serenade each other, except after meals, and after MacGyver.
  • Met on a gameshow.

Well, I guess that #tirnanoc could be considered to have been like a gameshow in some respects...

Quit having dreams where [livejournal.com profile] enotsola either doesn't care where I am or about being with me and doesn't want me coming over to his house even though we are next-door-neighbours, or where he actively goes off with two other girls at some sort of con/gather, telepathically saying that he's "not sure he wants to be with me anymore".

kthxbye.

I'm having a weird craving. I'm craving a doughnut. And not my usual Timmies maple dip or vanilla dip (I rarely eat doughnuts at home, heh). I want one of those ones with pink strawberry icing they have at Safeway. WTF?

To pay for printing in our computer lab, patrons have to use a thing called a "Cash to Chip" machine to add value to the chip on their card. Most people only want (or need) to add $1 at a time, so we are constantly breaking fives, tens, and twenties.

Consequently, we use up dollar bills at a pretty fast rate; I put $50 in each night for the next day, and when I count up at the end of the day, it's generally down in the $30 range (sometimes lower), even with taking in dollar bills from other sources (fines, disks, and the occasional dollar print card).

If that machine is not working, however, and everyone is having to buy $1 print cards until the guys from EFM come around to fix it, they all miraculously have dollar bills and we wind up with a surplus at the end of the day!

How does this work? Why do people have the dollar in one situation and need to break large change in the other? You'd think it would work out the same either way, but it emphatically does not. I don't get it.

[livejournal.com profile] tass: you know how when you log on to aim, the third message is "starting services'?
[livejournal.com profile] enotsola: Uhh, ya?
tass: i read "startling services"
tass: even though i know what it says
tass: it's like the way i always read "it is not safe to turn off your computer" or "it is unsafe to turn off your computer" even though I know the windows power-down screen says "now safe"
tass: but i wanna know what aim's "startling" services are!
tass: or maybe i don't
enotsola: maybe you don't, I'd think

There were some amusing "one-liners letters" in the Letters to the Editor spot in the Mercury today...

"No one has the right to stop Ralph Nader from running for president, but I would consider it a patriotic gesture if members of the Federal Election Commission pooled their money and bought the guy a new suit."

"I can't imagine why Governor Schwarzenegger needs six environment-destroying Hummers, but at least now I know why he was so intent on repealing the car tax."

"If outsourcing jobs is good for a nation's economy, then why aren't India and China outsourcing theirs?"

Hey! I got my first nonsense spam!

(emphases mine)

The things I put in bold are just really neat phrases. "Fivefold ventricle" sounds like a fancy part of a circulatory system. "Igneous collateral" - so is that when the property you left to guarantee something spontaneously combusts? "Carthaginian punitive" sounds like a strange verb tense or noun case to me. And IHNJ, IJLS "whistledither"!

It isn't a poem
Non curo. Si metrum non habet, non est poema.
"I don't care. If it doesn't rhyme, it isn't
a poem."
You are a type A personality. You like bright
things, you don't call in sick to work, and you
have devastating opinions about art.


Which Weird Latin Phrase Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Well... I'm sort of type A, sure. I do like some bright things, but I would more describe it as I like shining, glowy things. Neon doesn't really do it for me but I like metallic, prismatic, holographic, and things that glow in the dark. Calling in sick to work when I am, in fact, sick has, honestly, been something I had to learn it was okay to do. (Calling in sick just to play hooky would never occur to me.) I don't think that my opinions about art are at all "devastating" - I'm usually quite lenient. And as for the phrase itself, bull and shit. I've written lots of non-rhyming poems myself. My definition of poetry is circular: if it's poetic, it's poetry.
