Is it just me, or is Hayden Panettiere looking more and more like a young Hillary Clinton these days? From thesuperficial.com.

toilet paper currency

28-May-07

In a society of bigger is better, toilet paper rolls are now bigger than ever. What with double rolls, triple rolls, even quadruple jumbo rolls, it’s hard to buy a pack of regular, single-rolled toilet paper. Which raises the question: just what constitutes a single roll of toilet paper? This question came to me when [...]

at least somebody’s having fun

05-Apr-07

My parents went to Las Vegas today. At some point over the last 2 or 3 years, they realized that it was futile to hold out on vacations in order to coordinate with my schedule and take family trips together. So on a whim, they decided to take a mini-vacation out west, specifically Las Vegas. [...]

itching for spring

15-Mar-07

Whenever spring comes around, there’s just something in the air that makes us want to be outside.  I’ve wondered about how people in California feel, if they get the same itch to be outside when spring comes around because their winters don’t really prevent them from being outside. Yesterday, walking all around, I saw people [...]

more random highway musings

05-Mar-07

We’ve established that Dunkin Donuts signs in the distance are better than mirages in the desert, but sometimes may still be made up. So here’s something else I noticed driving on the highway: cars travel in packs. It’s not noticeable until you blink those hazards and pull off and stop on the shoulder for a [...]

i want a pet turtle

30-Jan-07

If I could have one in my apartment, I would get a pet turtle, with a little aquarium that has water and rocks and maybe some plants so s/he can crawl all over the place and eat fish food and be happy and grow bigger. But then I think about how irresponsible I am, and [...]

non-denominational holidays

25-Dec-06

Most years, I’ll send out a box or two of cards to friends and family around the middle of December, and when I buy them, I always make sure to get ones that say “happy holidays!” instead of “merry christmas”. It’s weird because I inevitably always use “Christmas” when I talk about winter break, as [...]

OCD

24-Oct-06

The older I get, the more OCD I become, but all in all, it’s not exactly a disorder because I function perfectly normally, and my OCD-esque behaviors don’t affect my everyday life very much.  For example, I can’t stand my hands being the least bit unclean or sticky or covered with flour, for example, when I’m [...]

hmm…

22-Oct-06

Last night, my aunt was watching some kind of TV show where it was recapping this singing/talent contest and showing the highlights of the winners and top finishers.  She was especially enthralled with this one guy who has a falsetto that makes him sound like a woman and made sure I stuck around until they [...]

bathroom lines

20-Oct-06

We get to the Shanghai airport, and after standing in line for 1.5 hours waiting to get through immigration, I have to go to the bathroom.  Lo and behold, there is a line to the women’s bathroom.  Why is it that no matter where in the world you go, there is always a line to [...]
