I Had So Much Fun Getting To Participate With Kurt Baumeister’s Six Ridiculous Questions Series Over At Vol. 1 Brooklyn That I’m Going To Share The Link To It Over Here

I had so much fun getting to participate with Kurt Baumeister’s Six Ridiculous Questions series over at Vol. 1 Brooklyn that I’m going to share the link to it over here.

Since I don’t have much to say beyond that, here’s an animated gif of Danny DeVito.

Also one of peanut butter.

The Internet Again Does Not Disappoint

Once in a while, I like to make sure that the Internet is as bizarre and often pointlessly infinite dump of human consciousness as I imagine it is. A few times it disappoints, but rarely. More often than not, no inane thought I come up with is not already represented. Today? It’s the latter. Today I wondered what would happen if I did a Google image search on “toilet paper hot dog.”

Yup, still weird out there.

Spiders Are Unwilling To Meet Me Halfway

People say I shouldn’t kill spiders. I say that I’d be less likely to kill spiders if they wore tap shoes. Are the spiders willing to meet me halfway on this? No, no they are not.

Spiders are so lazy.

Wut?

Wut?

If you can afford large and flashy stands then make sure that there are several standing. Towards the gym irritated

as well as want to bear in mind it to myself. Isn’t any much nicer

thought/feeling?

Spam comments can be so surreal.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Shannon!

As for the rest of you, you can find something else to do instead of my blog today.

My To Read Shelf Is A Bit Out Of Hand And My Wife Is Starting To Notice

My to read shelf is getting a bit out of hand and my wife is starting to notice. To stop me from book hoarding, or to curb it, I’m only supposed to have one shelf on a bookcase as my to read shelf. Sometimes I put a book or two on top of a full shelf or a book or two in front. Currently I have two stacks of books on top of a full shelf and two stacks in front. This is after some recent attempts to get down a few books.

My wife noticed.

Luckily, she was still kind of just poking fun at this point. Sort of. There was a hint of warning behind the laugh. I mentioned how this was due to getting a care package of five free good sized books from a friend working marketing at a press who knew I review anything I read, taking a month to get through Poor Fellow My Country, the two book clubs I belong to, the 18 day trip to Australia we took where I only read a little on flights, books from Christmas bookstore gift cards I hadn’t been planning on, and one purchase of two “books” (one in two hardcover volumes and the other a set of ten hardcover) I’d been wanting off of one of those longest books in English lists. She kind of understood, but the unstated concept was to watch myself.

She didn’t realize that I had my next two books I was planning to read sitting on a nearby table under the book I’m currently reading.

I Wonder How I Missed Trailer Park Boys Like That

I wonder how I missed Trailer Park Boys like I have. I’ve been seeing memes involving them and some references for a couple of years, but only for a couple of years. No more than five at the most. I don’t remember hearing about the show before that. Anyway, like I do sometimes, I decided to watch some of the show (binge watching a season and a half in a night) so I’d get what the memes were about. That’s when I find out that the show has 12 seasons stretching back to 2001. It’s 18 years old. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard more about it, particularly more than only back a couple of years like what I remember.

Maybe I just didn’t know anyone who was into the show.

Valentine’s Day Is Coming

Valentine’s Day is coming. Better get your mashed potatoes ready.

What? How do you celebrate?

Still Too Cold

Still too cold. Supposed to warm up later. Hasn’t yet.

It Is Too Cold Today

It is too cold today.

Thank you, that is all.
