I don’t understand how I slept for fifteen hours and I still feel tired. I need to start taking vitamins or something.
I loooooooooove sleep, but I usually find that if I sleep for more than 12 hours, I’ll be groggy/tired the rest of the day.

Fascinating. I’d love to try out the Kindle someday — I’ve never even gotten my hands on one.

2nd best Queen song ever? Under Pressure

First best? Don’t Stop Me Know
Truth.
Second’ded.
Ooh, that’s a tough one — but I think I’d have to agree. “Somebody To Love” is a REALLY close third for me, though.

I have mixed feelings about text messaging
justinesamantha:
ledenes:
I’m sure I don’t have to go through and explain why text messaging can be a wonderful thing (getting around awkward phone conversations, swiftness and brevity, etc.), but I just got a text that epitomizes everything I hate about text messaging.
Here it is, verbatim:
Ahhh boooo lol ight that’s koo. Nex time u gota cum wit ud.

Nerd Lesson of the Day: e.g. versus i.e.
exclamation:
capucha:
saramcpherson:
E.g. means “exempli gratia” or “for example,” and should be used to indicate examples. E.g. should never be followed by a straight definition. Incorrect: “… tempeh bacon (e.g., fake breakfast meat)” Correct: “… awesome things (e.g., unicorns, Thor, free WiFi, etc.)” I.e. means “id est” or “that is,” and should be used to define something. I.e. should never...

Barack Obama… and his standing bet with his daughter on keeping her cool when meeting the Jonas Brothers.
Holy hell, I love this man.
That just made me smile from ear to ear.
If it wasn’t so tacky and awful, I’d totally get an “Obama is my Homeboy” t-shirt.

You Heard It Here First, Thursday Edition
caro:
rach:
You know what’s going to be rad? Martin Scorsese’s show for HBO, Boardwalk Empire. Well, he’s just producing it. But it’s about the seedy underbelly of Atlantic City in the prohibition era, and if anyone has been to AC now, they know that with even more saltwater taffy, less geriatrics, and some forbidden sauce, that place must have been the total sex during its time. The heavily...
