With regard to the Warped Tour causing crazy amounts of traffic around our office today:

"I wish the grass on my front and back lawns was emo, so it would cut itself."

I've been so stressed out the past few days.  So much going on at work, and totally behind on studying.  Ugh.  I feel a pressing need to do something...run, swim, bike...I think I'm developing an ulcer, or at least a tight little knot in my tummy that won't go away.

Hopefully I can chill out a little over some good Afghani food tonight!

...that my opinion matters more to him than anyone else on our team.

That was a nice pick-me-up after I spent 14.5 hours in the office today.  -__________-

I scoured nbc.com for a full video of the 2008 Olympics opening ceremonies.  Couldn't be found anywhere, or on youtube, or on Google.  What gives?  Is there something I'm missing?

One thing I love about California is how state law dictates that toilet seat protectors be available in every public restroom.  In other states, this seems to be a luxury reserved for the airports and a small handful of high-end hotels/restaurants. 

I don't know how you ladies (and guys?) in the rest of the country manage.  Do you lay down a bunch of toilet paper to sit on?  Do you just sort of hover over the seat and risk splashing/dribbling?  Do you (and yes, I've heard people admit to this) climb up onto the seat and squat on it, as if it were a squatty toilet in Asia?

This inquiring mind wants to know.

Sorry, I don't really mean "hick" in a derogatory way.  But I was driving home from work and found the road totally congested with row upon row of gigantic SUVs/trucks, full of corn-fed looking dudes sporting cowboy hats.  And dudettes--I even saw one girl with leopard-print (or maybe cow-print) fur covering her seats and steering wheel.

I couldn't bear wondering anymore, so I just looked up who was playing at the amphitheatre today, and it was Toby Keith.  Makes sense.

But seriously, I thought we were in Silicon Valley.  Where do these people come from?  Sacramento?  Modesto?

I was rounding another car in the parking lot today and stubbed my toe on the little cement stopper thing.

Yes, the same toenail I cracked open on Friday.

Yes, it bled again.  And hurt, a lot.

Yes, I think I'm okay, after immediately applying rank Chinese medicine, a band-aid, and ice.

No, I won't gross you guys out with another picture.

I think I should maybe trim it, but I'm afraid it will hurt.

This has been up on the fourth floor of our office for a while.  Megaman, rendered entirely in Post-Its.  Isn't it so fabulously nerdy?
