Oy Vey!

History papers drive me mad!

Yummers

Everyone knows that March 14th is National Pi Day. But does anyone know that January 23rd is National Pie Day?

Insects Are Prettay Clever

You know how like, cavemen used to get their protein from eating insects? Well these days, the people of westernized societies think that consuming bugs is an extremely revolting and corrosive act. Why is that? Maybe the insects of Northern America had harnessed the power of an abandoned alien laboratory from deep within the deserts and they used that energy to modify the human appetite?

Also...

Turtles can breathe through their butts. Tehehehe!

Kittehs Are Strange

Studies show that if a cat falls off the seventh floor of a building it has about thirty percent less chance of surviving than a cat that falls off the twentieth floor. It supposedly takes about eight floors for the cat to realize what is occurring, relax and correct itself. Meow!

Garden Gnome

I don't mean to brag, but I am quite the artist.

I Did It!!!

I finally bought premium M&M's!!! I got the Mint Chocolate flavour (sinfully good white chocolate mint wrapped in dark chocolate). They are deliciously creamy and almost worth the $4.99 price. Yummm. Next time I want to try the Triple Chocolate ones :D

Enough of That Mustache Stuff

Let's talk about cats. These lucky creatures sleep 16-18 hours a day. I am quite jealous.

Deck of Cards Mustache Update

I have recently found out the following information :

"Each of the suits on a deck of cards represents the four major pillars of the economy in the Middle Ages: Heart represented the church, Spades represented the military, Clubs represented agriculture, and Diamonds represented the merchant class".

Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, but I personally believe that clergymen are the least sexy of the afore mentioned professions. Hence, the King of Hearts is unable to grow a sexy mustache. Idk, it made sense in my head.

I Quite Like Mustaches

The King of Hearts is the only king without a mustache. How tragic. I can imagine the other three kings making fun of the poor fellow for his lack of masculinity.

This Week Has Been Bizarre and Wearisome...

Chocolate Perfection

I haven't eaten M&M's for several weeks. What is wrong with me?! I need to get myself to CVS and buy some. If I don't cheap out, maybe I'll even buy the premium M&M's. I've heard they are delicious and I've wanted to try them ever since I read their review from candyaddict.com . Omgsh, I have no idea which flavor I'd choose first.

*I just found out I'm blacklisted from the candyaddict website. Wha???

Thursdays

Thursdays make me super excited! It's the day I get a new Jake and Amir episode, and the day I can watch the newest episode of Skins on the internet, and the day that The Office and 30 Rock are on TV!!! And also I'm really excited for today's episode of Skins because it's about JJ, the most psychedelic character ever!

Apology

I am really ashamed of myself for doing so, but when I was little I killed snails for fun. I am sorry dear snails.

Grilled Cheese

I am quite the grilled cheese aficionado and am constantly experimenting with ways to make my favorite sandwich. I have tried using the traditional stove top method, as well as a sandwich grilling machine, a panini grill, an oven toaster, and my favorite; the waffle maker. The waffle maker is a bit messy but it presses the bread in all the right places. Yummm.


P.S. In the fantastic movie, Benny and Joon, I just love the part when Sam makes grilled cheese sandwiches using an iron!
