Random Tuesday – Spring Break is Here!


randomtuesday

Yes, it’s Spring Break on campus here and as always, staff members have to work! At least it’s quiet and I can get way ahead on my blogging. Because, you know, that’s important. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • Can I start out by saying that I couldn’t stop laughing for, like, five minutes after I read this: FIVE. My eyes were watering and everything.
  • Over the weekend I had a complete and total breakdown over money, so I did as promised and sold some ofย  my comic books on ebay. Le sigh. I hate to do that.
  • That said, I read about five tutorials about how to put a Paypal donation button on a blog and none of them have worked. Blah.
  • Not that there’s any reason people should randomly donate money to me. Unless they think I am awesome. I’m sure SOMEone thinks I am awesome…somewhere in the world…
  • ::Clap clap:: No more talk of money. It’s SPRING! Oh wait, what? It’s forty five and windy? What kind of Spring Break weather is that??
  • Has anyone ever figured out why a raven is like a writing desk?
  • I’m usually good at riddles.
  • Has anyone tried the cabbage method of drying up their milk supply? It doesn’t seem to be working for me…
  • My carpal tunnel surgery week has arrived. I go in on Thursday but I guess I won’t know my time until the day before. I don’t like the way that works. I wish I could plan ahead more but no, that’s not how outpatient surgery works, apparently.
  • I had better be able to use my hand a couple days after; what about the internet? What will it do without me??
  • When I was having my breakdown about money Saturday night, I had the strangest craving for chocolate milk. My mother must have given it to me as a child when I was distressed or something and I associate it with comfort.

 

I wish I had more random for you but my brain has turned to mush in the absence of a busy workday (damn you Spring Break!) so all I can do now is post Marcos, whom I know nothing about other than he is big, beefy and pierced. OMG, /isdead.

  1. Ok I’m ROFLMAO about #1. I’m sure glad it’s early in the morning at work and no one’s here to notice mascara running down my face. I love that website!!

    Nachos and Salsa = your chocolate milk comfort. My mom used to fix that for me when I was studying for a hard test. Every now and then when I’m feeling particularly stressed I start craving them.

    I’m sending good karma your way for carpal tunnel surgery! I know the procedure has improved by leaps and bounds, and I’m sure you’ll be back to business in no time!

  2. I sent the link to the auto correct site to my mom since she just got an iphone and she wrote back saying she should have peed before reading it LOL

  3. Geez, money woes, I’m sorry. Hope it gets better. I’m doing just fine with drying up milk supply by going on 2 week Asia trip, problem is I don’t want to – booo. The first time around, it just worked to not feed/pump for longer and longer periods of time. Good luck.

  4. Carroll admitted that there never was an answer to the question; he made it up without an answer. He did provide one possible answer years later after many requests from his fans for the answer: “Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are VERY flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front.” (“Nevar” = “Raven” spelled backwards. Carroll’s deliberate misspelling is often erroneously “corrected”, obscuring the point of the joke.) This is from the Internet Movie Database.
    I got to watch that movie this last weekend. I liked it. I also like the man candy–yum yum!

  5. OMG that first one is hilarious!

    I hate money. But only cuz I don’t have it.

    I’d so donate to you. If I had any money.

    You are totally awesome! And I am the authority on all things (and people) awesome.

    Good luck with your surgery. Apparently that’s the way outpatient surgery works, but only at your clinic. My outpatient surgery time was scheduled 2 months in advance. Sorry, didn’t mean to rub that in.

    I know what the internet will do without you-go through withdrawals. The whole thing might shut down and throw the world into absolute chaos because of it! You could usher in Armageddon! And the Zombie Apocalypse!

    Happy Tuesday!

  6. I hope your surgery goes well! And what’s the point of Spring Break if the teachers and staff don’t get it too? Oh, the injustice! It’s enough to make you want to schedule surgery! Happy Tuesday!

  7. *gasp* you had to sell comics?? I’m so, so sorry.
    I also died laughing over that particular damnyouautocorrect. In fact, when I first found that website, I had to drink extra water, I was crying so much from laughing that hard. I thought it was a fluke and I was just particularly hysterical that day; but no, every time I go back there’s at least one that has me in tears. The Megalosaurs in particular, slayed me.

  8. Also I think your paypal issue might be that you’re on wordpress.com rather than org? I’m not a WP person myself but I remember reading something about limited html if you’re not self-hosted.

  9. That Five Megalosaurus image is the best thing I have seen all day — thank you for sharing that!!!

    Good luck on Thursday!!! ๐Ÿ™‚

  10. Auto correct gets me every time too! Which is why I have disabled it, but now I second guess myself every time I’m not sure of how a word spells, so I enable it again… It’s a vicious cycle! ๐Ÿ˜€

    Here’s the easiest way to get a Donate button for your blog:
    1. Log into Paypal
    2. Go to Merchant Services and click on Create Payment Buttons on the left side, just under Website Payments
    3. Choose “Donations” as an option, and customize it to your liking and click create a button.

    You should have an html code to put on your site after that.

    I have had my donate button for 2 years and only 2 people have donated, one gave me $10 for my birthday and one thought it would be funny to give me a $1.. ๐Ÿ˜› So good luck! ๐Ÿ˜€

    I think Lewis Caroll (not even his real name) was high when he made up that riddle.. LOL ๐Ÿ˜€

    Thanks for dropping by my random! ๐Ÿ™‚
