Intimidation
I’ve spent my post-grad break pretty much focusing on how intimidated I am by my own lofty goals. Following the problems of the economy doesn’t help— this is stuff I never used to factor in my decisions. And I realize— I just need to do what I need to do. If that means it’s harder for me than it would’ve been a decade ago, oh well. It is what it is.
I’ve...

Don't get it twisted!
I KNEW IT! I don’t eat Chex-Mix too often anymore, but last time I did, I noticed there was a lack of pretzels. Apparently, General Mills did downsize the number of pretzels— in order to cut costs. Thank you, Mental Floss, ever the source of relatively useless information.
I wish they’d make less of those waffle thingies… the actual Chex. They should take a cue from the...
Random Fact Generator
I practically got carpal tunnel syndrome from Mental Floss’s Random Fact Generator. Some of them suck, so I hope my rating of 1 star will kick out the bad eggs.
“Pepsi-Cola” is an anagram for “Episcopal,” which some believe the drink is named after. But then again, “Britney Spears” is an anagram for “Presbyterians” so we’re inclined to...
Suffering from some arrested development
… literally. S/S: What I care about at the moment is rather infantile. But I guess it’s okay to be immature sometimes.

LMAO. (Also, new Apple philosophy.)
I think I almost tricked my dad into getting me the new iPod nano. Sorta. Haha…
Excuse my materialism. But after I get hired, the first paycheck that doesn’t need to go to Sallie Mae, living expenses, apps/classes, savings and a donation… may go to one of those.
Also, I have decided to adopt Apple’s philosophy of self-obsoletion, minus the “corporate” part....
It's Morphin' Time!
I think I’m devolving. I’m part scared, part indifferent, and part content with it. Maybe I’m just morphing. Like the mighty morphin’ power rangers… Triceratops! Saber-tooth tiger! Tyrannosaurus! I love tangents. Expansion later.
Drudge Report: RNC was most watched convention.... →
Thus “beating a standard set by the Democrats” the week earlier. I feel the Dems are losing steam… but then, the RNC balloons have barely deflated. More light will be shed on what the true standings are after the debates. Eeep. I just want to know the outcome already.

Time to 'fess up
I think it’s funny that my dad and I both claim to be “Independent” voters.
But he’s quite conservative, and I don’t know the last time he didn’t vote for a Republican (although I think he tends to go for incumbents if they’re doing a good job). And I’m pretty liberal, rarely straying from a Democrat since I’ve been allowed to vote…

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist →
Michael Cera needs to play a different character than this… but looks like the kind of movie I would’ve really liked as a teen. (Wow, I can’t believe I had to say “as a teen.”)
