I've made an important decision in the life of my blog. I've decided to stop paying attention to the statistics page. This is because all I get from looking at the stats is a feeling of discouragement. It tells me that, on a typical day, I might have 8 people who have stopped by my … Continue reading The Stats

Grown-Up Quiz
I have no shame when it comes to stealing ideas from other people's blogs. I used to do it all the time on my old blog. Back in the day, I had this crazy idea about blogging every single day. It becomes hard to come up with new things to write about if you're posting … Continue reading Grown-Up Quiz
Listening to Tolkien
Disclaimer: I'm possibly going to anger a significant portion of geek culture. And that's because (spoiler alert) I'm going to complain about The Lord of the Rings. Now, before you grab your torches and pitchforks and track down my IP address, just know that I'm not setting out to offend anyone with my opinion here. … Continue reading Listening to Tolkien
Being Mocked By a Poster
See that? That picture there with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels? The one that looks like they're pointing and laughing at you? It's like they're literally saying, "Ha! We got you to pay good money to see a really bad movie! All because you felt some ridiculous sense of nostalgia! Suckers!"
The Windshield Crack’d
About a month ago, amidst the snow and ice that blanketed southwest Virginia and allowed me to take an eleven day vacation from school, I got into my car and noticed a small crack in my windshield. It began at the bottom of the glass and extended about six inches up on the passenger side. … Continue reading The Windshield Crack’d
This Is the Last One About My Wisdom Teeth. I Promise.
Yesterday afternoon I made another trip to the oral surgeon's office. This time, the appointment entailed a simple follow up. They just wanted to take a look at my mouth and see how the healing process was progressing. I also got the syringe that everyone's been telling me about. The one that squirts water into … Continue reading This Is the Last One About My Wisdom Teeth. I Promise.
Did You Lose Your Glasses?
A little more than a year ago, eyeglasses were not a part of my regular wardrobe. Then I saw an optometrist who let me know my vision was no longer as perfect as it once had been. I used to pride myself on having 20/20 vision. My 30s, it seemed, were catching up to me. … Continue reading Did You Lose Your Glasses?
The Recovery Process
A week ago, I mentioned that I would be having my wisdom teeth removed. In case anyone was wondering, that was a true story. Last Thursday, I visited the oral surgeon and he removed all the wisdom. Now I only have my looks to rely on. I was nervous about the whole thing. I'd never … Continue reading The Recovery Process
Inefficient Ghouls
I found this little gem on the internet at some point in recent history. As you can plainly see, it's an attempt to explain why it is that ghosts walk through walls. They're just following paths that were familiar to them when they were living. Buildings and floorplans change, but these restless spirits are none … Continue reading Inefficient Ghouls
An Excess of Wisdom
Kids, I'm a little nervous about something. I have an appointment with an oral surgeon in just two days. That surgeon will be removing my wisdom teeth. All four of them. It's an operation that I've been avoiding for six years, when I initially found out that two of those teeth were impacted. During those … Continue reading An Excess of Wisdom
