Moving to blogsome!

Ok everyone, move on, nothing to see here! After 3 years @ blogger, bloggerandme has moved to the land of enhanced customizability. Update your bookmarks!

The new URL is stardotstar.blogsome.com

Please pardon the stock images while I figure out how to customize. Also, I haven't found the blogsome login page yet so there may be a slight delay before I am able to post.....

Going up the wide open sidewalk Hilary thought about how many times she had defeated the building and how many times the building had won. Champion swivel doors: 1, Hilary: 0. Even the bacteria on the brass on the doors had won. The security guard wasn't sure that he could let Hilary in.

In a dream that morning she had trudged up the square square stairs and fell asleep on the edge [name deleted]'s fictional bed. Now any time [name deleted] talked there was a halo effect of the mint comforter cover to deal with. Hilary glared bravely at her reflection in the elevator doors, not knowing who might be standing there when the doors opened.

word of the day

In a Sentence: Adroit is one of those combo pak vocabulary words because you get both adroit and maladroit out of one root word.

Sometimes I Worry

Sometimes when [name deleted] is the last person I spoke to before going to sleep and is the first person I'm going to see now that I'm up, I worry that [name deleted] and I might be spending too much time together.

At least it doesn't seem to me like we are, or ever do, but I think that there might be applicable social rule. Now you don't see me rushing to look up that rule.

Let's Just Say

Let's just say that there appear to be no unwanted toppings on the pizza, although I seem be allergic to condiments.

automagically

I'm feeling better this morning due to the magic of drano. Last night my bathtub water was at tsunami level, staying in place on surface tension alone. Now surface of the tub is gleaming with a coat of mild skin irritants.

...

Wouldn't it be hilarious if I renamed this blog "the petri dish?".

Because I hate it when people get all Dr. Phil about not letting their problems define them. I mean, the spirit of not letting problems define you is right on point, but I just don't want to be the thousanth person to go:

I'm not letting this setback define me!

You know, like I think I'm saying something new and snappy? And then my friends would go:

Yeah, be strong.

No matter what happens, I do not have to talk like Dr. Phil. It's boring.

Example of a faulty mental model (Norman):

But what if we get bored while the salad is in the oven? Hilary inquired.

not to my recollection.

However, I do recall heeding the natural sorting of the leaves into random piles at the abandoned Ford-McGraw plant: phusimorphism?

...

And when the doorbell tolled I realized that I am naked. At first I was trapped in a clean bathroom and then I got scared, and then bored. Now I am trapped in a dirty bathroom making a Faux Hawk in the bubble bath.

the hard sell

Current status: Trying to get fjr to go in with me on a pair of lizards, which we would house on 10 to help control the outlaw cockroach population. It's part of my 3-step plan to suck up to Margaret.

Dear Thor, thank you for the shirtless man who cooks for me.

Your final grade in ENG 3060:

"It is not born,
it does not die
having been,
it will never not be;
unborn, enduring,
constant, and primordial,
it is not killed
when the body is killed" (bhagavad gita 2.20).

some girls

Did you know that some girls view their friends as boring placeholders to pass the time before they get a boyfriend? And he's always a mook, but she adores him, and she wears this revolting yellow ribbon in her hair that bounces as she carries out a festive snack tray while he and his buddies play poker.

Nothing makes me quite so sick as watching an All-American ponytail girl babying her mooky boyfriend.
