How does this not happen to me more often

I think I may have finally injured myself just badly enough for a loverly scar. About time… I’m such a klutz.  I took two big chunks of flesh out of my pinky trying to wash a glass. That I didn’t realize I’d just broken… If the two chunks were attached, this would definitely be stitch-worthy. It’s only possibly stitch-worthy right now, though. Keeps bleeding. Stop that! Ow!

I think you should pay ME

eHarmony’s 29-point personality profile is now a $50-value instead of a $40-value, according to their latest commercials. Says them. They like to make it sound like a limited-time offer, but since it’s always free, I put the value at approximately $0. Why does television have to lie to me? Act now, and we’ll throw in this fantastic dip-and-pour ladle. It both dips and pours. That’s a $47 value, yours free!

not suitable for human consumption

Dasani always tasted a little soapy. Now they’ve taken it to a new level of disgusting by adding fruit flavours. Mmm! Lemon Joy! Do not drink it. PS if you’re buying bottled tap water and you have an alternative, you’re an idiot anyway. I guess then you might actually like something as horrifying as the liquified evil I just drank. Anyway. New Jersey, your lack of cellphone reception disappoints me. No e-mail and no RSS makes Candice something something. Glad to be leaving your sorry state of a state.

I need to learn Japanese

Thank you, YouTube, for providing me with an endless supply of clips of Japanese television shows. I’m sure I would never understand what was going on, anyway… but at least it could make a little bit more sense if I knew the language.
