The self-teleporting carrier bag, and other annoyances

Posted 07-29-2009 at 02:56 PM by Donk
Stress is a major problem nowadays. I deliberately keep my life as calm and stress-free as possible. On the other hand, man is a problem-solving animal and a life without problems brings on its own form of stress. My solution to the dilemma is to set myself tasks both small and large, something where the possibility of failure exists – for without failure, there can be no success.

The crazy paving on our driveway had become increasingly crazy over the past few years with some...

Scary Story!

Posted 07-24-2009 at 11:41 PM by freeztar
While huddling around a bonfire in a Georgia summer night, some friends were discussing ways of entertaining themselves. One friend suggested "Scary Stories". And we ran with it...

The first story was about a man with a golden arm. I can't tell you much more than that because I kinda zoned out half way through the 20 words per minute storrytelling.

Nonetheless, the story came to its conclusion and everyone waited to see the epic failure of an ending (whatever...

Camassia quamash

A Note on Summer Jobs...

Posted 07-08-2009 at 05:03 PM by Mercedes Benzene (A Peregrination of Life in Notes)
It's official. I'm working PGxHealth doing lab support starting July 20th, and I'm very excited.

I start my job at Brookside Gardens next Monday July 13th (also my birthday!). This *should* just be a weekend job, and it'll need to be since I'm working my other job during the week.

I also just got back from my trip to Williamsburg, VA. I really think everyone should go there if they're interested in American History. This was my 4th time going to Colonial Williamsburg,...
