skyping with luke

i can't believe i forgot to tell you guys about this. on thanksgiving, when i was talking to my family via skype, my nephew luke was pretty confused. he couldn't figure out how he was interacting with a video of me. "is this in the past?" he asked me. "yup," i lied. he grinned and looked suspicious. "how?" he asked. "time machine," i explained.

he knew i was lying but still couldn't figure it out. to be honest, i don't know how skype is possible either. video chat is crazy and futuristic and beyond my realm of understanding. but i loved that luke's first idea is that i had recorded my half of the conversation in the past. kids are awesome.

my favorite saved by the bell episode

my favorite episode was the one where zach and slater got in a fist fight on the first day of senior year. i was all like "what the heck is your guys's problems? this is supposed to be the best year ever and you're blowing it!" but then (spoiler alert) mr belding's toupee falls in the punch bowl and the dance and so zach and slater laugh and decide to be friends again.

also kelly and jesse don't go to school there anymore?

that was a weird episode.

check expressions

i was ordering new checks recently and they had all these hilarious options for things you can have printed on your personal checks. i really wanted to get all of them. some of my favorites include:

• DREAMS DO COME TRUE!
• AND YOUR POINT IS?
• LIVIN' LARGE AND TAKIN' CHARGE

but they cost like $3 extra so i was like "No way hose A! Maybe when i'm a millionaire."

not my tax dollars

this guy's always going on about things he doesn't want his tax dollars spent on. i try to tell him that's not how it works but he just stands there with his hands in his pockets, shaking his head. he's nuts.

i like stuff like this

this is a video that my friend premstar made. it is really cool. i like stuff like this.

premstar is an actor and she sells really cool vintage clothes and stuff that you can check out here.

bajillion

i was writing an email to my friend dave faulk when a spellcheck dotted red line underlined a word i typed. "hmm," i thought. "must've put an extra L in BAJILLION." i retyped the word. the dotted red line appeared again. "this spellcheck must be on the fritz," i thought.

then, about a second later, "i'm an idiot," i thought.

bajillion is not a real word.

fudgicles: a poem

The fudgicles got mad
and that made me sad
So we went our separate ways.

google ads break the language barrior

google reads all of my emails to learn about me so they can sell me stuff. none of my emails are written in whatever language that ad is written in. so you'd think that google goofed up somewhere.

but you want to know the weird part? i UNDERSTAND what that says. i don't know how, but i do! and i really need that thing they are selling!

book review

there were some funny parts but a lot of it was pretty science-y and boring. i'd say, wait for the movie.

just your copper pot

this video is esoteric and silly but i like it. maybe you will too.
