Thing at home I am glad to be rid of #4: The steam heating in the Math buildings

It's a good thing I wasn't allergic to temperature changes.

Note to self

Don't forget Matt's birthday. Nick Grylls' and Allaina van Reeuwyk's birthdays are of peripheral importance.

Hooray for ICQ birthday reminders.

Delayed Reaction: Celebrities

I just realized that Tom Wopat played Bo (or Luke, I don't really care) Duke on "The Dukes of Hazzard"! I had no idea why the guy looked so familiar, or why he was famous, or why I had heard of him when they used his name and face on "South Park", but now I know. Hot damn.

I used to say that I didn't understand what people saw in Carrie-Anne Moss, and that I have never thought she was hot, ever. Well, I was wrong, because a few weeks back I found out that way back in the day she was on "Models Inc." and damn, was she hot in that show. So, just like that episode of "Mad About You" where Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt realize that they had met when they were kids, I am forced to eat my words because of something that happened when I was 12.

And to think I almost left a pile of sugar outside for them

You know, it wasn't so bad when they were just in my bathroom. Even when they started flocking towards some spilled milk in my kitchen, I wasn't all that distressed. But last night I got home and found that ants had found their way into my cupboard. I am down one box of stale Frosted Flakes.

I used to feel bad about wiping them up and washing them away. I'd try to pick them up and throw them outside whenever it was practical. I used to really like ants. I even wanted to buy SimAnt at some point in my life. But as Regan said, "Ants are fun until they get inside your house." And then they go and mess with my food. Well, that's it. From now on I'm a stone-cold take-no-prisoners mofo when it comes to ants.

Maybe I should try to capture them in a jar and make an ant farm.

It's a good day for funny stuff on the internet.

Said it once before, but it bears repeating

This warrants its own proper mention on this blog:

William Shatner doing "Rocketman"

I was reading some old South Park episode recaps the other day. When Wendy dumped Stan, Bebe told him to try to win her back by standing outside her window with a stereo playing Peter Gabriel. He then went to her window and played "Shock the Monkey". Just reading that made me laugh out loud.
