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!

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.
