Also weird
When I was doing my interview at Pompei yesterday, I showed them my transit maps and said that I create transit systems as an excuse to diagram and create environmental graphics. Gaetane (whom I knew from working there before) laughed, so I said, “Yeah, I’m a huge nerd.” And she said, “No, I used to do that back at home.”
Secret transit supernerd soulmate?! Awesome.
I hope I get this job. :/
Sent my first invoice.
That was weird.
Doot doot doot.

Good news, the fellow I failed to say hi to also recognized me and didn’t say hi, for the same reasons of awkward/unsure/whatever. He said he’ll “say something for sure” next time he sees me.

Blood started pouring out of my arm today. In the parking lot of the plasma donation center.
I was walking to my car and all the sudden my arm felt warm and really light. I looked down and saw blood just gushing out from the bandage they’d just put on. Immediately I just started crying, profusely. I think that must be your natural reaction when you see that.
I got blood all over...

Reading this Cincinnati development strategy document for studio, and came across the term “never nesters.”
Akin to “empty nesters,” I assume this means people who never had kids, but are old. (The same sentence references young professionals and entry-level professionals, thus my thinking that the term refers specifically to older folks)
Still, the term “never nester” just sounds so…...

Is this the point where I should admit to the world that the Sweet Valley High board game was my favorite when I was 12?

If there was any doubt, now I’m sure of it; science has officially passed beyond my understanding:
Doctors insert woman’s tooth into her eye; cure blindness
How in the what?
Uh, did you read the article? Because that headline is retarded. What they did is amazing, but it’s not like they just pulled a tooth, shoved it in her eye, and ta-da! They used material from a tooth to...

He is alluding to the point I’ve been waiting for someone to bring up when people talk about how much universal healthcare will cost. We spend so much money on things we don’t need (say, a war whose original premise was false but whose supporters now try to say was worth it...
