Quick poll: How do you feel about owls?
It seems that this is a polarizing issue. I know a large number of people really love owls but that others hate them with the fire of a thousand suns.
I’m just curious where everybody stands.

Shameless self-promotion
I just remembered yesterday that I had started a 365 photo project back in December. Whoops. There’s a month gone! So I’ve started uploading photos from my Europe trip as a project re-boot, and then I’ll start taking new ones starting today. If you’re interested in supporting a mediocre photographer, the link is here.
If you think it won’t be too boring, I’m...

Hypothetical Question
Years ago, when I was on blogger, there was a thing set up that they called “Flash Fiction Friday.” How it worked was that one person would write a prompt every Friday morning, be it a starting sentence, or a collection of words to use, or whatever, and everyone who wanted to participate would write a short piece and post it to their own site by the end of the day Monday.
Say I was...

Now this is just getting a little ridiculous.
I just had the missinge warning pop up on my work computer. I don’t have missinge on my work computer. It’s not there. You didn’t detect it. Quit terrorizing us, Tumblr, for pete’s sake.

If anyone's looking to learn a language
I highly recommend LiveMocha. I’m having so much fun. Besides the fact that the lessons are good, you can interact with actual other people. People who are fluent in the language you are trying to learn will review some of your lessons and offer assistance.
Also, if you’re so inclined, you can review the lessons of people who are trying to learn English. I love this. I get to be an...

I DON’T KNOW WHAT THIS IS.
People have been doing this to me all the time lately and I’m starting to go out of my mind. Give me all of the information, all at once, all at the start. Don’t give me one piece at a time and then get exasperated when I don’t have answers. I’m not in your head, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Who the hell is Demián Bichir?
Did anyone actually see The Iron Lady? Or are we just giving it to Meryl by default? Why are there only two original song nods? Why are there only nine picture nods? KUNG FU PANDA 2????

Uh ... my apartment door just opened by itself.
Now I’m going to be paranoid about ghosts for forever. I don’t even believe in ghosts and I’m scared of them now. Better believe that deadbolt is latched now.

Follow up question
If I attach the cover separately, do I have to format it like it was an actual business letter, with the company’s address and/or my information and whatnot on the top?

What's the proper protocol?
When you’re emailing a resume and cover letter, do you just type the letter in the body of the email and attach the resume? Do you attach them both in separate files? Or in one file?
What’s been your experience? It’s been a long ass time since I did this.

This is an actual conversation I had tonight
Me: So, SC had its primaries today, yeah?
Him: Yeah, and what? Ron Paul is in 4th?
Me: I'm unsure. I know that they're calling it for Newt.
Him: Well, if Ron Paul doesn't win then we're all screwed.
Me: Yeah? Well I hate to tell you but I don't think it matters much who wins the Republican primary.
Him: Yeah, well. If Ron Paul doesn't win be prepared for war.
Me: I'm sorry?
Him: Yeah, it'll happen.
Me: Even if Obama wins.
Him: Yeah.
Me: War with whom?
Him: Pssht. Pick a middle eastern country.

Thanks for the tips, ladies!
It’s like Tumblr is the big sister I never had!
It was easier than I expected, but I still have some stuff to practice. The ends, mostly. Those are a bit of a mess. And my hair is suuuuper frizzy (too much color, I’m sure), so I got it dry but it didn’t look pretty. I doused it with Oscar Blandi jasmine mist though (thanks, Birchbox!) and that fixed it mostly right up. That...

Just call me On-Star
My best friend has the worst sense of direction in the history of the world. He can barely find his way out of his driveway, not to mention follow any actual directions.
He’s on a road trip to visit his sister in Pennsylvania. He asked if I could be on hand tonight to help him if (when) he gets lost.
He made it within two miles of her house before he called me and said “I’m a...

Does Everyone Still Hate Katherine Heigl? A... →
The responses to this are spectacular.
“America’s love for Katherine Heigl defies all logic. She’s not particularly good at anything and she keeps getting cast in the same movie ad nauseam. I feel like it’s the universe has Punk’d us. Someone has to stop her. Please refer to my tweets.”
This may sound harsh, but I think we should put her in jail. Not like “Actor...

Dammit, Hulu
How many times do I have to tell you that the Mitt Romney ad does not apply to me before you get the hint and stop showing it to me? What’s the point of asking if you’re not interested in actually “tailoring my experience”?

elizabethanne:
people who say “I hate the snow. I hope it doesn’t snow.” You live in the north east. It is winter. It is going to snow at some point. If you don’t like it, move to the south.
But be prepared that when you move to the south and it get’s cold, everyone and their mother will say “you should be used to this, you’re from the north.”
Which is almost as annoying...

Fun with advertising!
Sometimes I really wonder what the hell is going through some business owners heads.
In the stuff I’m working on tonight I’ve come across my favorite pediatric dentist, whose phone number is (555)-PEDO, and a firewood company named Carolina Morning Firewood.
They should really run these things by a panel of 12 year olds, or at least those of us with that level of humor, just to make...

Or at least I imagine it would be to someone watching me do it. Because it’s practically impossible. Luckily I got one with extra good adhesive, because I had to take it off three times before I got it right.

I've found a surefire way to get yourself out of...
Forget, when you come home on the coldest night of the year, that you had turned off the heat to save electricity during the day. Have it be 59 degrees in the apartment when you wake up.
I was out of the house in 12 minutes, but not before I tweaked something in my neck. I tweaked something in my neck from shaking from the cold and now I can’t turn my head.
I win this day.

Dave asked me how one would make mustard BBQ sauce
Good lord, man, I’d have no idea. You greatly overestimate my culinary skills. I like to make it the old fashioned way, by going to a restaurant.
I can tell you there’s usually cider vinegar in it as well as the mustard. The one on Simply Recipes seems to be decent, and the one on DiscoverSouthCarolina seems interesting at least, with beer as an ingredient.
Next time I come up to...
