Happy Birthday

Did you know it was Harry Potter’s birthday today?!?

Here’s a short fan fiction birthday story I found.

Shirt Shrunk

So last night I was wearing one of the new shirts I bought on Friday and it just seemed so small (and it seemed more than ample enough when I tried it on). How could it have shrunk that much?!? Today when I was picking up around the house I saw the tag sitting on the counter, it’s says ‘small’! The one I tried on (and the other one I bought) was a ‘large’. I feel much better now, especially since it turns out that only one of them doesn’t fit and since I didn’t actually shrink it, I can probably exchange it! :)

The road to East Lansing

Had a great day yesterday. Stopped at the Howell Outlet Mall, got the exact shoes I was looking for and some stuff I wasn’t looking for: shirts, sunglasses and some bowls. Weather was great until we got to EL then it was drizzly on and off :(

Got chinese (I love Charlie Kangs!) and ice cream and long islands and saw some friends we hadn’t seen in a while. Found an Egypt book on the discount rack at Barnes and Noble so I’ll be looking that over. Never did get those chicken wings I wanted though…

Ice Cream, Wings and LIIT

I’m off to East Lansing to get Chinese Food, Ice Cream, see the beautiful campus, get happy hour (Wings, Nachos, Long Island Iced Teas) and more Ice Cream. If you’re around we’ll be in P.T. O’Malleys at 4:30 for Happy Hour (Grand River and Abott) feel free to come by and I’ll buy you a drink (or two).

The Bermuda Triangle

You don’t hear people mention The Bermuda Triangle much anymore do you? It used to be such a big mystery…

The history future of the Internet

I’ve been thinking about this lately so I thought I’d bring it up again. This short film of the history of the Internet is kind of how personalized information will be presented to you in the future and some of the problems with it. I heard about this while listening to an episode Future Tense.

This is actually a shortened repost of a post I did a while ago, but like I said I’ve been thinking about it lately so I thought you should too…

Shuttle debris not unusual…

So I didn’t hear any news about there being some small debris falling off at the launch yesterday.

NASA said it would know by Sunday whether debris that fell off the space shuttle Discovery’s external fuel tank during this week’s launch damaged the spacecraft as it blasted into orbit. – CNN

They make it sound like it’s not a big deal. And if this wasn’t the first flight in a long while I probably wouldn’t think twice. But I’d really like the flight to go 100% perfect so the program can get moving again.

A new food meme

If I were a piece of food caught in your teeth, would you pick me out? What kind of food would I be? Would I be delicious even after I’d been trapped between your molars since lunch?
