The secret to a “Black v. Red” game on SimAnt is to do nothing at all. Just plop your yellow ant ass down on the pixelated pukey-olive dirt and watch your colony completely destroy the red ant colony on its own. What kind of game beats itself by default? No wonder my generation feels so entitled.

Friendship

Shannon: I wish you were here so we could go get a booth in Denny's and talk. Partly because I'm hungry, and partly because I like to talk and have no friends.
Me: Having no friends is better than having my friends. The last email from my friend Jeremy ended with "Heather, breast implants. Think about it. I know I do. Jeremy"

Jen: God damnit what is his name?!
Me: Botero?
Jen: YES. That's it.
Me: All the really suspicious Google queries in my browser history are your fault.
Jen: Yeah, I know the feeling. I'm pretty sure if anyone ever got ahold of my computer, they'd think I was some fetishistic pervert.

BBC: “A 73-year-old Austrian man has confessed to imprisoning his daughter in a cellar for 24 years and fathering her seven children, police have said.

Police said Josef Fritzl also admitted burning the body of a baby that died at the house in Amstetten, Lower Austria.

Mr Fritzl has been taken to court while authorities are caring for the woman, now 42, and her six surviving children.”

Dear God.

Dear Random Plastic Elephant on the Kitchen Counter This Morning, Whence camest thou, and was it sandy there? Were you once a fridge magnet? Where did your magnet go? And finally, are you trying to tell me something? Perhaps something about the Super U dark chocolate raisin hazelnut bar in the fridge? Well, you’re just going to have to find that magnet of yours because sitting on the counter like that, you’re rather ignorable.

Dear Random Plastic Elephant on the Kitchen Counter This Morning,

Whence camest thou, and was it sandy there?

Were you once a fridge magnet? Where did your magnet go?

And finally, are you trying to tell me something? Perhaps something about the Super U dark chocolate raisin hazelnut bar in the fridge? Well, you’re just going to have to find that magnet of yours because sitting on the counter like that, you’re rather ignorable.

“The scene to the right, the fourth in Hogarth’s progression, is titled ‘The Reward of Cruelty’. Tom is shown being anatomized (the evidence of his hanging shown by the noose still around his neck) as further punishment for his evil deeds.” —Jen I’ve never had so much macabre fun reading a thesis.
