Balls In The Air

before you text...

I don't understand this PSA (is it a PSA?)...but it made me giggle. Watch and see what I mean:

world aids day

twihards

So true...

never a dull moment

I call this one "Heist, Interrupted..."

as if there were any question

Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test...

Modern, Cool Nerd

52 % Nerd, 74% Geek, 26% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!

Congratulations!

true dat

SO true!  iPhone has changed my life, or at least how I use little pockets of spare time...

toxic

It has been a crazy few months...

Without going into a lot of detail, many circumstances and situations that I've either witnessed or been a party to have brought me to a place of deep retrospection as of late.  Perhaps a smattering of "OMG I'm going to be 40 in a couple of months!" thrown in for good measure...

At any rate, I've reached a decision.  (here comes a sports analogy-- ready for it?)  I've decided to enact a "three strikes and you're out" policy for the people in my life.  Excluded from this rule will be family members-- you don't have to like your family, but you do have to love them-- they're yours and you're stuck with 'em.

But for everyone else?  I can take a lot, and believe me, I have.  A WHOLE lot.  But there has to be a line.

What is a strike, you ask?  Well, it's kind of like the old definition of porn, "you'll know it when you see it"

Goodbye, Toxic Persons.  Unfortunately there's no room for you-- I have too many good things in my life to waste time with the bad.

timely

The husband and I watched the final episodes of Arrested Development over the weekend and were sorry to see it go... neither of us had watched it when it was originally aired, and really weren't even aware of it at that time.  (note to The Powers That Be... wouldn't that be a BIG clue as to why it didn't get ratings?!)

Anyway, while perusing my blogroll I came across a post entitled "The Timeless Wisdom of GOB Bluth" and squealed with glee-- a little bonus AD moment!  Enjoy!

suits me

I've decided to test drive the newest TypePad offering, Micro.  I think this will better suit my blogging style while still allowing me to do the occasional rant at the old place (newly renamed "Bigger Balls."  Cute, eh?)
