I found a weird cellphone-lookin' thing lying next to our garbage can in the grass when I came home. I'll bet the garbage collector dropped it. I
called the City garbage pickup # and asked if anyone had reported one lost. They said they'd look into it and get back with me.

When I was a kid, I think my mother might have been taking advantage of coupons to buy cereal because she always had a cabinet full of different kinds of
cereal boxes. Because it was always like that when I was growing up, I always assumed everyone had a cabinet full of cereal boxes.
Then one time I spent the night at my cousin's house and the next morning, I was shocked to find a whopping ONE cereal box in the cabinet. And that's not all - my mother always gave us a semi-generous portion of cereal. But when my cousin went to get the cereal bowls, what she came back with were two very tiny bowls (no bigger than the small glass bowls I have for my cats), and she didn't even fill them all the way - only about halfway if that much. Then when she poured the milk, she basically put just enough in to wet the bottom of the bowl. 95% of the cereal was still dry. I thought maybe my cousin's family might just be really poor or something (though my mother constantly complained that we were poor, so I must've thought my cousin was really, REALLY poor), but then sometime in the future, I spent the night at a friend's house, and the exact same thing happened! Do I just eat cereal weirdly? Even if I eat a large bowl of cereal, I'm usually hungry again within an hour or two, so I know I'd never be able to get through the day if I only ate a handful of cereal for breakfast. Another thing that was weird about that second house is that when we ate dinner, everyone else but me would take a small forkful of something on their plate, eat it, then rotate the plate so that the next item was in front of them, take a small taste, then rotate again. They repeated this pattern until all three or so items were gone from their plates. It was very....surreal. |

One time when I was about 3 years old, I was at my babysitter's house, and her mother (who would have been about my grandmother's age) gave me some
Cocoa Puffs. Then, when I was done, she gave me more. I might have ended up eating three or four bowls of cereal. I guess she was just being grandmotherly,
but due to all those fairy tales, I was suspicious she was fattening me up to eat me. I think I ate at least one more bowl, though, even after that had
occurred to me.
I think those old stories were based on some universal fears. Anyway, there was one type of cereal I'd just put only enough cereal to cover the bottom of the bowl, and then maybe just enough milk to wet the cereal: Granola cereal. Maybe Fruit and Fiber (they don't make that anymore) There were a couple of times when I forgot and accidentally poured as much granola cereal as I would regular cereal. That's when you learn the reason the normal way is the way it is. Granola cereal is very difficult to eat, almost exhausting, and filling, and it would be a chore to eat a full bowl of it. One more thing on the cereal subject: In the beginning of the movie Friday, Ice Cube fills a giant bowl (like what we use for mixing batter for pancakes or brownies) with Captain Crunch, then realizes he has no milk. His father tells him he should use water instead. |

A few days ago I got a spam email with the sender name "Lizeth Marry". I assume this was coincidence and the spambot probably picked up the name from
either the RAU Gallery or DHN.
Then today I get a spam email with "RWAD" as the sender name. Do these spammers seriously think the best way to get me to buy their products is by pretending to be people that hate me? |

Play as a character that is TOTALLY NOT Yoshi, squashing enemies that are TOTALLY NOT GOOMBAS, in a game that is TOTALLY NOT a dumbed-down Super Mario Bros. And the end-level goals are TOTALLY NOT copied from Sonic.

I just realised I have better control over the left side of my face than my right. I can raise my left eyebrow and left cheek independently, but if I try to raise the right the left side raises with it. Bummer. |

I think I had to practice arching my eyebrows before I could raise them independently.
For my fingers, I can bend the pinky on my left hand while barely moving my ring finger. But on my right hand, if I move my pinky, the ring finger moves, too.
My left pinky independently bent. Might be a weird way of bending a finger, but I can do it, while I can't do it with my right at all.
With my right hand, if I bend my pinky finger up to this point, the ring finger automatically pops out. |

Going back to the finger bending thing, I thought there was someone who could maybe independently bend both pinkies, and didn't even think anything of it.
FO is telling me it wasn't her. I wonder if it could have been my grandmother.
I think I had to practice arching my eyebrows before I could raise them independently.I do seem to have a little more success with raising my left eyebrow and keeping my right down. |

I think we have a new winner for the "worst game name" competition. In an R-Type game, of all things.

That made me laugh out loud in the way that everyone else who works here is now going to think I'm crazy.

is the newer Scooby Doo any good?
it's on CN right now I caught it right when a oriental woman was declaring independance from a female woman who was probably her master who was dressed like a sorceress the student had a blade sheathed that the sorcerer threw with her projecting blades over to a ghost samurai samurai went super samurai and his face went alive in the reflection of the sword - moves to Thelma and some others on the roof of what looked to be a pagoda they talked about "oh no" ---then cuts to Shaggy and Scooby ....riding on the back of an enchanted dragon (that talked) dressed in full Gilgamesh body armor conversing about saving the day. .......I needed a break from all the action to type this Edit-- CN is playing rada rada now... Edit-- the character I described with the name "Thelma" is an incorrect description. The character is named Velma.

Anything with the name "Scooby-Doo" on it past the original series has a tendency to suck.
Well, except for maybe 13 Ghosts. And A Pup Named Scooby-Doo.

Crawl and I have taken several walks around our new neighborhood. There are a lot of really nice houses. It seems like a nice place to live.
A lot of people have cats. We walked past one house that had a black-and-white cat, and a brown tabby in the window, and another brown tabby with a while belly (looked kind of like Codie's Arlene) sleeping on the front steps. I've also seen a calico with a ringed tail running around the neighborhood and we saw her hiding under a car on one of our walks. |

I guess you have to be familiar with both Deep Impact and Little Prince to get it, but apparently the "asteroid" that is heading for earth is the
Little Prince's little planet.

...with the joke being that everyone loves the Little Prince, so it's horrible they're blowing him up, but there's an extra layer because the
original story also had a tear-jerker ending in which the Little Prince died.
