bits & pieces 08.05.09
Lately I’ve been coming across a whole bunch of stuff on these fabulous intertubez that I’ve been saving. I don’t know exactly what I’m saving them for, because they really don’t each warrant a separate blog post, but I just like them. So there. Anyway, my blogging friend Mariel over at Fresh Thought Soup does this cool thing called A Few Thoughts, and she kindly gave me permission to borrow and modify that idea just a bit in order to get rid of some of this brain clutter. Basically, this is a (not so) glorified link dump.
So I’m just going to do a few at a time so as not to overwhelm.
- So, like, what was your favorite ride of all?
OMG it was totally 1001 Nachts. I LOVED THAT RIDE!
You loved it, huh? Well, why don’t you marry it then??
Hey!! Awesome idea!! - Speaking of amusement parks, check out Environmentaland, which recently opened in Hollywood. Nobody Rides for Free.
- This dude got an unpleasant reminder that it’s not nice to cheat on your wife — with three other women. The woman in the picture needs to get acquainted with a flat iron. All three women will surely be getting acquainted with the inside of a prison cell. Let’s hope none of their cellies have access to Krazy Glue.
- Apparently, real men wear pink. If by *real men* you mean Brad Pitt and David Beckham. And yes. Yes, I do.
- Happy birthday today to Joseph Carey Merrick, better known as the Elephant Man. That movie made me cry when I was a little girl, and my horribly insensitive father and brother made fun of me endlessly for it. Yes, you two, I do still hold a grudge.
- You probably know that Ninja Kid wants to be a chef. Lately I’ve been extolling the virtues (and positive cash flow!!) of orthodontics. Turns out I’m barking up the wrong tree. Of the 15 most lucrative college majors, 12 of them are engineering degrees. Time to dig out the math flash cards. Drill, baby, drill!
- Finally, stop working overtime already! Wait, what was your name again? Where am I?
Hope you guys like this feature. If you do, tell all your friends! If you don’t, keep it to yourself.
This was great. I don’t know where you find so many wtf-worthy links, but the entertainment is pretty great.
I saw the article about engineering degrees a couple days ago. I briefly thought I should have stuck it out in mechanical engineering. Then I remembered I failed physics. ::sigh:: Here’s to law school. It better be worth it.

I like it
I do similar things with posts I star in my Google Reader and just posting unfinished drafts. I get all kinds of ideas, but follow through is not my strong suit 
I can’t think of an inanimate object I would marry…

More power to single mothers!!!
Thanks for the shot out, I often wonder if anyone is ever out there!
Also, I read you anticipation of law school post… Yeah, I am feeling the same way… It’s crazy. I don’t remember feeling this way about college… I think it is all the scare tactics we keep hearing about. Hopefully, law school doesn’t live up to the hype. Hopefully, it is just “fashionable” to make law school out to be worse than it is… hopefully…..
