I have only one thing to offer you, and not all of you will care

Hey, check it out. Harry Potter has a very nice jawline. He’s still paler than I am and his eyebrows could climb the Empire State building, but he’s growing up okay.

I only have time for this one tiny little thing

This is for Sparky.

Going to bed now

I started a post today on my work laptop when I didn’t have internet access. To get it, I’d have to turn on my work laptop, wait the half-hour for it to boot, and then wait another five minutes for Word to open. Not worth it. It wasn’t that great anyway. Something about getting up early and being sleepy. It wasn’t done, but still. It can wait. But I really did get up early and I really am sleepy.

For the Doctor Who fans (who are up to date), here’s a neat timeline (from here via The Daily What). I’m being careful not to look at the very bottom. Still not caught up.

No time to chat

In between memorizing steps for how to solve different types and systems of equations and doing practice problems, I browsed my usual sites. Just a little. When I needed a break. Since I still have some stuff to do, I’m going to bombard you with links. Good ones, I promise.

From Catalog Living, this caption cracked me up.

From reddit, a letter from the Kentucky Commissioner of Education to a superintendent explaining why, yes, KY schools will continue to teach evolution as part of the biology curriculum. Go Kentucky!

From a Nathan Fillion tweet, don’t get my hopes up about Firefly, man. It’s not nice. But could it come back? Could it really?

Last, the funniest thing I read all day was from Corey’s blog. The 2nd Harry Potter movie has been renamed permanently.

Still studying, but it’s not enough

It’s a poem, but it might as well be a tongue-twister. Check out this link and then tell me how many words you can’t pronounce (or aren’t sure of). Five for me (all words I’ve only seen in print, never said out loud).

Then which way do we go? THAT WAY!

I don’t mean to turn this into a look-at-the-funny-pictures-on-the-internet kind of blog, but sometimes I can’t help myself. That’s been happening a lot. Besides, it still counts as inane. No false advertising here.

(From reddit, where I have been spending too much time.)

Sunny days

Zannah — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 13:53:48 +0000

My moods are tied way too closely to the weather.* I woke up to a bright and sunny (and cold and windy, but who cares when you’re inside?) morning, was in no rush to get up, and had tea and pop tarts. (Mmm…pop tarts.) Then I found the funniest thread on reddit about mispronounced words, I’ve been laughing my ass off for about 20 minutes, and I can’t imagine why I wouldn’t start every day like this.

*This is not entirely true. There are plenty of rainy, snowy, or otherwise gloomy days when I am happy as a clam (usually because I’m snuggled up warm and dry with a book).

Born in the wrong country

Today we have a very special Christmas message from the Aviation Department on the HMS Ocean, using one of my favorite Christmas songs and a couple of Love Actually references.

Looks like the British Navy would have been more fun. (From The Daily What)

I’m still here

I will eventually get back to using words in my blog posts, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen tonight. Have some comics instead.

I didn’t see that coming. Comic from here.

You’ve got to go to the page this came from to see the ideas he rejected. I like the first three.

Let’s all move to Scotland

A story (an article, but it’s a story) for Jess and Mom.

(Thank The Bloggess for it. She tweeted the link.)
