Yesterday my roommate closed her blog. She’d been blogging for over a year now, so I was quite surprised when she abruptly announced to me that she had decided not to blog anymore because it was taking up too much of her time (and life in general).
I thought this was odd timing as today I’m writing my first entry underneath my own name. It’s rather strange to me that as her blogging comes to a close, mine has just begun… kind of like turnover in a neighborhood. She moved out of Blogdom… and I moved in.

I run into a lot of websites, pamphlets, books, and other publications that have these Myth vs Fact pages. They are pretty interesting, but also usually very onesided. I remain unconvinced some of the time. After all, can’t it just as easily be said “One rather popular belief” VS “Our organization’s belief”?

Today is my the second birthday of my blog. Yea!
I should do something fun in honor of this event, like… posting ten of my favorite entries or something like that. I really wish I could know some of your favorite entries though.

I passed the sort test tonight!!! Finally!! That means I’ll be getting a $150 gift card to Best Buy and a $1/hour raise. I am really happy. I have been working on this for quite some time, but tonight I had a really hard night and so I stayed after work and studied, practiced, and took the test over and over again until I got the necessary 98% accuracy and 1200 pph (pieces per hour.)

Urgency is good and patience is good,
but both can be misused and lead to destruction.
This is the truth of many things.
There is a time to be patient and a time to be urgent
With wisdom and practice one knows the difference

I am always interested in tangential parts of history. I would have loved to get a PhD in history by studying business history. I am fascinated with all aspects of business, and I think that a history of business or even businesses in america would be fascinating and point to the rest of american history in the process (as business interests often overlap with political interests and decision making.)
In the extended entry I copied parts of an article I found in Slate. I copied part of it even though it is probably copywritten because I do not know how to refer people to it after it is moved around in msn’s webspace. Slate, please forgive me. Maybe it will help to know that I am publicizing your webzine. The article is credited to Teresa Riordan, and is entitled “For Pleasure: A history of the vibrator”

There is just so much to say about this. It is so country but so nerd all at the same time. I was thinking of getting one, but it is just too much of a gag.
I’d like to buy and program one for a friend, but while that would be fun I don’t know that it would be worth it and then there is also the fear that someone might actually wear it.
Fortunately, I do know a few guys who pride themselves in their belt buckles.

I’ve been on this Zone Bar craze since Joy had me try one of these back in February or March of 2004… I remember this because it was shortly before Southwestern, and I’d eat one or two of these things every day (excpet Sunday) for that entire summer.
After all that I still like them, so I thought I’d dip into eccentricity again, and write up what I thought about each flavor like I did when I went through my Healthy Choice Frozen Entree thing.
