Friday Randomness : Star Trek
|
I t's a thing we do. As we watch movie previews before the feature presentation, JD and I will hold up our hands and give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down. It's all very Ebert of us. Most often our thumbs are the inverse of each other (he prefers car chases and buildings that explode) because I--clearly--have better taste (I love subtitles and movies that make me cry). While recently at the theater, just after the Star Trek preview ended, our thumbs opposed each other. You don't want to see THAT, he incredulously asked.
Bless his heart. I wasn't sure which category he fell into at that moment... |
| Though he'd deny it, JD is the type of guy who'd wear this sweatshirt... |
| My husband is also the guy that'd pay extra to get a cup of coffee that looked like this... |
| This probably stems from the fact that he dreamt of sleeping in a bed like this as a kid... |
| Regardless of how strange my husband is at times, I love his geek streak and hope he'd be the type of dad to do this one day... |
    
W e were at dinner with a wide array of food in front of us. Most of it was unfamiliar, but I dug in with confidence. Minutes later, the waiter dropped by with a full description of the Malaysian fare on the tips of our forks. And this is the chicken meatball, he said pointing to the plate I had taken a bite from.
You mean these noodles, I ask.
Yes, this is a famous meatball, he replies.
It's flat and looks just like noodles...
But it's not noodles, it's meatball.
He probably muttered crazy American under his breath, but I was too stunned pay attention.
And just like THAT, 20 years of vegetarianism is sullied due to a chicken meatball that looked like noodles. Don't ask me how, but it just did. Either that or I really am a crazy American who can't tell the difference.
Here are a few things on the web I found to help cheer me up in this week's installment of Friday Randomness...
GOSLINGS!!! |
| There are the kind of cards I send... |
| I think they're making fun of us... |
| Be prepared for an overload of cuteness... |

Friday Randomness : Me + My Bad Ideas
|
S ometimes I come up with ideas and I think they're pretty awesome. But that's only because I work alone in my office. If I had, say, human interaction on a normal level, I might realize my ideas are better left in my mind. Except for this one idea. I thought about inventing stickers I could place at the bottom on my feet when I have to take off my shoes and walk through airport security. When I don't wear socks, I want to scorch the bottom of my feet after walking through the metal detector. I mean, how many toes had been where my toes were planted? Ick.
So my idea is to make slips of paper for the bottom of my feet that I could peel off and throw away after my X-ray walk through. Sort of like Post-It Notes for your feet. But cooler.
Oh and then I had an idea for germ disinfectant for your clothes. It'd be like Lysol for your jacket. Because how many times have you sat next to someone you're sure is going to give you SARS?
Back when I was in high school, I wanted to invent graph paper on Post-It notes for my math problems. I still think this is a good idea.
I guess my invention ideas revolve around germs and Post-It notes, but really...one of these might be a hit. Okay, probably not, but I'd like to believe one day I'll come up with something you'd want to buy if you're up late one night watching an informercial. BUT WAIT...THERE'S MORE...!
Speaking of informercials and major wastes of time, here are a few things I found on the internet that made me smile...like this device you can make personalized pieces of toast with. Dear JD...please don't forget to take out the trash. Love, me |
| I'd likely buy this as a poster. My humor is questionable, at best. |
| I have no idea why, but I'm smitten with these push pins...die. |
| I want to buy a pair...immediately. |

Friday Randomness : Distractions
|
N othing screamed I have my life together like cradling an open container of cookie dough as I walked my dog a couple days ago. I was so overwhelmed with everything that had to be done, I turned to my good friend Betty Crocker for some emotional support. She's like my bee eff eff these days. The good news is that it's FRIDAY and I'm looking forward to ringing in the weekend with a bang.
Or another spoonful of cookie dough.
|
| WHO PIE-CHARTED MY LIFE?!?! |
| Oh, wait...what? You mean this little ole thing here? Well, I might just call this heaven... |
| Oh, you know...just finding things to plan for pretend parties I'll never host... |
| I have no idea what's going on in this picture, but I've decided I want to be this guy's friend. |

Friday Randomness : Valentine's Edition
|
I can't believe Valentine's Day is just two weeks away. I realize it's a commercialized day to express your love, but the chick-flick-loving portion of my soul still appreciates a day dedicated to the thing I love the most: amour. Valentine's is also a perfect day for marriage proposals, so three cheers for keeping us wedding photographers in business.
Just keeping it real, Internet.
I'm not a I'd-love-a-dozen-red-roses-and-heart-shaped-chocolates kind of girl, but I do love quirky expressions of love. I, however, think my husband and Dwight Schrute share similar Valentine sentiments... |
| If my husband gave me this bar of chocolate, I'd probably {re}fall in love with him... |
| And then my husband would respond like this... |
| Maybe it's the wannabe crafter in me, but this Valentine's scratcher coupon might be a fun project to create! |
| I actually emailed this cartoon to my husband because it's pretty much THE STORY OF MY LIFE. |
