And a B.L.T. Extra B. Hold the T. Don’t forget the mayo.
I went to IHOP today for breakfast. Never again. Easily in the top ten worst decisions of my life. Starting with the coffee. Continuing with the mediocre pancakes. Ending with the womp-wompest bacon I have ever sampled.
Chain restaurants baffle me. I mean, somewhere along the line, they were good, right? Good enough to be expanded...

I loathe non-Greeks who judge the Greek system. →
Fashionista’s headline: “‘No Frumpy’: Cornell’s Pi Phi Forbids American Apparel Leggings, ‘Gross, Plastic Shizzz’”
My reaction: STFU.
These “dress code requirements” are clearly for a few days out of the semester: recruitment—the interview process by which potential new members learn more about the sororities on campus, the houses...

BBC News - California 'protects' Apollo 11 landing... →
California has named a new site a state historical resource - despite the fact that it is not on Earth, never mind in the US state.
The site where Apollo 11 landed on the Moon in 1969, the first US landing, is now included on the state’s register.
…
Wait. They can do that? Does this mean California (and the U.S.) has dibs on annexing the moon?

Gremlins 3 in development, set for 3D? - Den of... →
MarketSaw is reporting today that plans are afoot for a Gremlins 3, which is set to be made in 3D. The site makes it clear that the project is still in the very early days, and is a brand new film rather than a 3D retrofit of the original. But given that Ghostbusters is coming back for a third instalment (also now likely to be in 3D), it seemed almost inevitable that Gremlins would follow the same...

Divorce is in. Even swans are doing it. →
During the past four decades 4,000 pairs of Bewick’s swans have been studied at Slimbridge, with only one previous couple moving on to find new partners.
…
First suspicions of the rare event were raised when male swan Sarindi turned up in the annual migration from Arctic Russia without his partner of two years Saruni and with a new female - newly-named Sarind - in tow.
The...

Maybe more like one Oxy away from Rush Limbaugh?
Just a suggestion. I’m sure Jon Stewart’s writers will read this and slap themselves asap.

Okay, what the fuck? We are apparently having a thunder-snowstorm.
I noticed that happening outside, too! How the hell does it go from 50s and rainy on Monday to 30s and thunder-snowstorms on Wednesday Thursday (corrected 10:05 p.m.)?

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MY FIRST TUMBLR FIGHT AND I UP AND WENT TO BED AND MISSED IT.
Or not, because I don’t care that much. STILL.
Seriously, my Tumblarity would have skyrocketed. Where the hell is that crazy contraption when I’m actually popular?

Things to note that I never knew about credit cards (because I never pay my balance early), but are probably totally obvious: paying your balance early will not open up credit for the amount of the balance paid until the first of the month. Well, balls. However, the very nice dude in the bookstore shared with me the secret of using your student ID to charge books to your account, which...

Snug as a bug in a pub - The Boston Globe →
That’s right, wear your Snuggie to a bar, perhaps several bars. And drink.
….
Scenesters who complain that Boston’s behind the times have a legitimate point this time. According to snuggiepubcrawls.com, 62 cities held such crawls last year. Even Scranton, Penn., beat us to the (fuzzy) punch.

So the question is: to go or not to go?
I hate this, but there are three things my body...

Wah.
Ingest anyway. It’s worth it.

Can I hear Obama speak without the clapping and laughs?
That, and these overgrown children who sound like they’re booing. Am I the only one hearing booing? Oh Jesus, they need to grow up. When I’m more mature than you we have a problem.
At least they’re not awwwwww”-ing.
p.s. I think Obama needs a nap.

I mean, this is pretty much the political equivalent to the Oscars, right? Anyone who’s anyone is pretty much there. Why aren’t they dressing to impress?

Frank would almost be hot if he wasn't so smarmy.

Almost.
Also if he didn’t live at home with his parents and if he didn’t practically eat New York’s toes on national tv.

And a woman asked everyone on the seat to slide down, but there wasn’t quite enough room for her to sit comfortably, so everyone just looked at her. So she sat on the woman on the end (yes, she SAT ON HER) and the woman she sat on proceeded to apologize to everyone else, who responded, “Honey you didn’t do anything wrong. She sat on you because she knew she couldn’t say...

I long for a gun that shoots tomatoes...
Precisely for the next time I get stuck behind someone who doesn’t stop when turning onto a new road and then proceeds to drive ten miles under the speed limit, stop to let everyone and their freaking mother turn (almost causing accidents when the other drivers intend to turn left) and swerve into my lane when I’m turning and he is not. And, somehow, I must have been in the wrong...

Particularly when one pregnancy is faked and the other is the knowing result of adultery.
And this is the show that won the Golden Globe for best TV comedy? Doesn’t sound particularly funny.

I suck at decisions. I shouldn’t even be thinking about going anywhere but my wanderlust refuses to be ignored.
