Merb getting rolled into Rails? Really? I guess it’s too early to be an April Fools joke… http://tinyurl.com/7l9p3v
Lately when I put on my huge hoodie, it’s like a Mr. Yuck sticker screaming “Keep away. I’m sick and gross.”

Made the coat exchange with @calophi. Success! However, my lungs keep on trying to cough themselves inside out. Assholes!

Oops. The post office closes at 1PM on Saturday?
I am trying to taunt Chris into doing the Macarena. It is not working. Peer pressure, why do you fail me?
Last night I fought light pollution in my room by throwing unmatched socks over all my gadgets’ LEDs. What have you done lately, planeteer?
Saw a pretty girl at subway wearing a megaman hoodie. I’m pretty sure I’m in love.

I think if we all work together we can bring “Information Superhighway” back into society’s common vernacular. This would be a good thing.
“HAY GUYZ I JUST SAW SOME LOLCATZ AS I WAS SURFING DOWN THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY.” See? I’m doing my part.
window plasticing is going worse than last year. 1) the plastic i got is too short? 2) hair dryer conked out after 1/2 of first window.
I got up from my desk for water + context switch only to find that the entire office has left for the day. This happens somewhat regularly.
