“Eureka!” -said no one ever in this century. Probably. Seriously, I don’t even think the people in labs who score scientific wins say that anymore. They probably say “Fckkk ya!” coupled with a couple victory fist pumps during those “aha!” moments when the results support the hypothesis or a solution becomes crystal clear. However, after Archimedes ran from the public bath with the same brainblowing epiphany about density that bores.. Read More
Eureka Effect: What that IS.
(Eureka Effect, continued): Apparently, the “Eureka Effect” is actually a two phase process. And it’s not the process that’s so complicated – it’s us. We overthink the shit. First, we’re at an impasse – we think we’ve explored all the possibilities and say dumb contradictory shit like “I know for a fact it’s in the house, but I’ve looked everywhere” when we misplace our keychain. This thought and verbal affirmation.. Read More
Tea, Serenity, and Jason Voorhees
After kicking scripts outta my medicine cabinet, my tea cabinet kicked its game up a notch. Specifically, it took on a life of its own for the past five and a half months. It started out simply enough: some chamomile, the seasonal pumpkins, peppermints, and chai. Then, as my newfound unsullied senses began to heighten, I found myself rediscovering the tea aisle of Wegmans all over again. I was just.. Read More
The Path to Pathos is…
This short-story idea came to me recently. I don’t take it terribly seriously (as you can probably tell by my Disney media additions), but I thought about actually writing it more as I’ve had trouble changing some bad habits that were leading me into a cyclical distress abyss (BTW that’s my real definition of Hell – feeling all trapped in miserable machinations of our own making). And while I watch.. Read More
Walkin’ Into InterWebs ♪
I spend about blahbety-blah percent of my life online. Let’s just assume that figure’s high. And it’s got a nine in the first digit. And there’s, like, three digits. But it’s sort of nuts when I think about it – not just in a lament-modern-society-slaves sorta way. No, I mean I’m realizing that only about half of that time’s spent doing actual work. And when I say half, I mean.. Read More
Panic Chick: Don’t Knocker It Til You’ve Fried It
Sometimes, when mildly annoying shiz happens in life, we just have to sit back and laugh at ourselves – particularly our own reaction to it. And then release it to the public to laugh at us too. Like, okay. You know how in horror movies, the girl (who’s wearing one of those bras the Victoria’s Secret lady has to go all the way to the back to get because they.. Read More
Taste the Painbow
And now, for another edition of random acts of cruelty. I came across this gem at some point while meandering through memery and other assorted forms of mental masturbation – A hidden camera to capture the reactions might have been even better. However, as a considerate person, I totally identify with why the prankster opted not to. I mean, when I replaced my Moutain Dew in the work fridge with.. Read More
Catfish: My letter to Nev
Deeeear Nev, That is your name, right? You don’t say it enough – so I just want to make sure before I proceed… Anyway, I’m writing you because I’m totes in love with this chick I met online… but I have some apprehensions. You see, I can understand that she doesn’t like to video chat or whatever. Not everyone’s into that. I get it (and also I was willing to.. Read More
So… this exists
I have nothing to say other than: 1. Wicked witch of the West and the aliens from “Signs” can now respectively conquer Oz and Earth. 2. Dudes can stop freaking out about keeping their crispy white shoes or hats in top form. 3. Will this work on my walkway and parking space this winter? Or windshield for that matter? 4. Hosts can properly prepare electronics prior to interviews with Russell.. Read More
Pipe the fkk down!
Inconsiderate ass-grabs. Who? Oh, just my neighbors. Since I moved in years ago, their foot stomping and kid shouting was consistent and annoying right away. I met the chick, though, and she seemed nice (a young grandmother) enough. She watches her grandchildren for her daughter, so I tried to have some sympathy for a woman managing a bunch of disobedient little shits kids. Before long, however, the domestic quarrels began… Read More
