It wasn’t the best day for writing, but I did get this in an email as a diversion.

Well, not quite. I was thinking about the fall television shows that I liked so much last year. While chekcing out websites for the new schedule, I came across this gem. I watched “The Starter Wife” this summer on USA. I can’t tell if they are creating new episodes, but I hope so. They have a lovely, little game called “Whack -an-Ex.” I’m sure you’re thinking what’s so fun about a game based on Whack-a-Mole? Well, this little game lets you upload a photo and make adjustments to it, so you can really whack your ex. I’m not very good at video games, but it’s fun. I think I’ll keep working on my score. I need something to take out all those frustrations.

If you’ve got a rotten ex or several, go play. You’ll feel better.

I wish I had a photo. Someone defaced a Starbucks billboard with the new slogan “Let’s meet at Starbucks.” So what did they do? They removed just enough of the “B” to make it an “F.” I was in tears laughing while driving. My son thought I lost my  mind, until he saw it on the way back. You can find this sign between San Mateo and Redwood City going north on 101. I couldn’t have said it better. But then I’m not a coffee drinker.

Here’s another video. If anyone can tell me the significance of this short animation, I would greatly appreciate it. Opinions are appreciated as well.

This is how people react to acknowledgements. No one seems to be able to really take a compliment or a thank you and yet they feel unappreciated. Hmm.

It seems that I can’t figure out how to embed a video on Wordpress due to needing to active php curl (sounds weird to me and I don’t want to deal with the host at this time), so the link will have to do.

It’s fixed now thanks to a new plug-in that actually works. Enjoy!

Another comic from Phd comics…

Finally an explanation why the jokes I find funny almost no one gets. We were a funny bunch in grad school, but that humor just doesn’t work outside chemistry graduate school. So now in social situations, I don’t tell jokes. No, alcohol doesn’t help. In fact, I can speak even more coherently about chemistry with several drinks. I do have my limit though. Coherent, then sick. So it goes.

While I find this graphic hysterical, I’m sure that anyone who hasn’t been to graduate school doesn’t get it. That’s what an advanced degree will get you…confused stares and people thinking “dork!” or worse:  saying it aloud.

I got tagged over at Yoga Coffee Outlook. So how this works is you Google your first name and 8 different words. I highly recommend putting them in quotes like this:  “Liz needs”. The 8 words are:  needs, is, likes, wants, gets, says, does, and eats. Then enjoy what comes up on Google.

Here’s my morning entertainment all laid out for yours…

Liz needs… real love (no kidding!)

a MAN! (now how did they know that?)

needs to not keep candy on her desk (wow, seems they’ve been peeking into my office)

Liz is… working

Liz likes… it hot (hmm…wonder what “it” is?)

to talk (yes, I do)

In that search, I also got “Liz sizzles,” which is why quotes help.

Liz wants… to be on TV (well that depends. No way would I go on TV in one of those reality shows. Not even to get a man.)

Liz gets… a girlfriend (maybe I should reconsider the man)

lucky… with a Pressley (weird, but I’ll take lucky any day.)

Liz says… “Shawn Connery has absolutely the sexiest voice on the planet.” (don’t think so, but okay)

she can’t help it (help what?)

I’m amazing. (Oh, if only. Actually I know people who think I should say that or would at least agree.)

Liz does… some late night reading (all the time)

Liz eats… boys

balls (both titillating answers. Thank you Google for providing fantasies for me and anyone else who reads here.)

Some experiments should never happen.

Ever seen a refrigerator like this? Even workplace refrigerators can get this disgusting.

Another trip down memory lane…

Boy am I glad I don’t have to sit on a couch like this again. Although we had a couch like this in our office, it was too gross to sit on. It was nearly impossible to get off (or out of) the couch once you sat down. Ours was probably a dumpster save. The answer to the question above…NO!!!

Need a little laughter? Check out The Onion for their women’s issue. Oh, and check out this article if you’ve ever realized how crazy, messed up your love life is (NWS). Now, why do I know the feeling?
