Joy and I were out on a date and she said she’d like to go to Publix to get brownies instead of eating the brownies at the restaurant. So on our way to Publix I was talking to Joy and getting ready to make a left hand turn. In the middle of my monologue Joy says, “turn your lights on” fairly loudly. In response, I turned my lights off and looked at Joy. At that moment Joy was turning from looking out her window so I looked out the window too and I saw two black guys in the car next to ours. Thinking that they had given Joy the reminder about the lights I gave them a thumbs-up and said thank you. At this, they both grinned, nodded enthusiastically, looked at each other, and drove off.

Yesterday at work I decided that it would be a good thing to start thinking of patience as a masculine trait. This is not to say that women cannot be patient or that women are not typically patient. Instead, I see this as being something of a standard of masculinity like strength, indifference, and the ability to hold in tears.

Today Joy and I went to Target to start our first gift registry for the wedding. This whole process is actually pretty cool. You walk up to a kiosk and fill out a number of electronic forms and then the kiosk tells you to go to guest services, where you get a few sheets of instructions, a catalog, and a scanner. Once you get all that you walk around the store scanning barcodes connected to the merchandise you want uploaded into your registry. Very nice. Very nice.
The fun part of all this is that I had chosen to wear a bright red polo shirt with white slacks and my Banana Republic dress shoes. As soon as I got this scanner, a provacatively dressed young woman walks up to me and starts asking me some questions about random things. To make things stranger Joy was missing from my side, which was a shock to me. So, to recap, I turned around from waiting in line at guest services to get this scanner and notice that Joy is missing. I walk a few steps and this girl is asking asking me seemingly random questions and she is really wanting some help.

Jessica Brar sent me this e-mail today. I thought it was “funny as hell,” and a good proof that even Chemistry can be subjective at times.
I don’t know if the story has any truth to it, but I don’t really think that matters — it’s funny if its factual or fictional!

I overheard someone for the hundredth-plus time remark, “They’re just trying to get more money!” This seems to be some sort of condemnation, but to me it is all just so funny. First, there’s the “duh man!” because the observation rarely ever needs to be made, and because most people are trying to get more money. The second thing that strikes me is the irony of the typical situation in which this occurs. Usually the person making the statement is someone who is paying the “extra” money and complaining about it in a condemning, self-righteous way. This is hilarious to me because if they were any different from whom/whatever they are condemning their loss of money would mean little to nothing to them and would thus not be worth a comment. Finally, the hypocrisy of this all is really funny to me. I get a huge kick out of self-righteous people who are inadvertantly being hypocritical. It’s something that we all do at some point in our lives, and it is amusing to witness such a typical-human thing.
Anyway, I’m done with talking about that particular recurring incident, but I have more to say down below about my my sense of humor and humor in general.
