i always did blur the line between helpful and just showing-off

A conversation between Susan, Jurgen (my boss) and I today while making delicious cakes:

Susan: I have to make a six-sided cake...what's this shape called?
Jurgen: An octagon.
Me: That's actually a hexagon.
Jurgen: Oh right. An octagon has five sides, yes?
Me: Eight.
Jurgen: What has five sides?
Me: A pentagon.
Susan: We should get you to write this out....
Me: Pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagon, decagon........(pause as I look up to see everyone giving me a Look)

The look that says, "We are going to put something gross in your coffee when you leave, because you're such a nerd."

Don't pretend you don't have time to sit around and watch stuff on the internet. I know you do.

Just because I never bothered to spell this out before, you need to be a fan of Zefrank. He made a video blog for one year, ending this last March, and it's amazing. You should go to the start of the archive, watch every single one, then stop.

If I can't marry Zefrank, I don't want to marry anyone.

reason no. 224.....

...that working in an all-girl metalsmithing studio is awesome:

because sometimes guys working construction in the neighborhood wander casually over to our large open door and ask if we perhaps have a specific tool that they could borrow because they do not have the right ones for the job.

And we say, "Maybe. How about you remove that shirt, first?"

TV Gluttony

A series of alternate titles for the shows "When Animals Go Bad" and "When Animals Go Bad 2", which Kaylen and I watched the other night after not having tv in 2 months. Because not all of the clips fit neatly into the show's catchy title.
