mumbo jumbo

hello.

my name is inigo montoya.

just kidding.

it's actually carrie hamilton.

but sometimes i go by myrtle.

which is kind of like inigo montoya, except that it uses different letters. and fewer.

anywho. speaking of myself, i learned an interesting fact the other day in sunday school. apparently, there is a disorder listed in the dsm called narcissistic personality disorder. however, it has recently been removed since basically the whole usa has it. i was amused by this. oh, facebook... how you have transformed our world.

another interesting thought: have you ever considered the weirdness of how one of the key ingredients of cookies is an undeveloped chicken or two? i was thinking about cookies today (something i do often) and realized how bizarre that is. except it's kind of not really that bizarre, but it is. and i'm talking about the fact that a chicken goes into cookies is weird, not the fact that i think about cookies a lot. although maybe that's bizarre too.

ok, as a good american, i'm now going to go think about myself... and cookies. maybe even take some pictures of myself eating cookies, and then put them on facebook. yeah, that's a good idea.

COOKIES!!!

on second thought, maybe i should get some sleep.

:)

random

i have no time in my life. therefore i have not the time for a real blog entry. but i do have the need for a momentary break. not that i really ever write real blog entries. but someday...

my jeans stretch out a ridiculous amount after one wear. they fit when they come out of the dryer. and then they almost fall off three hours later.

my phone is weird. for some reason, it thinks i mean to type "28" when i really mean "at." i don't know why. i certainly use "at" more than i do the number 28. i think i must have used 28 once, and then it saved to my phone memory as the preferred word. so then another day i typed the word "what." and it came up as "wh28." really? really. also, every time i try to type the word "yay," my phone freaks out and won't recognize it. it thinks i mean way or wax or yaw. so i have to spell it out. and it NEVER SAVES. yet the number 28 did.

Really??

If you think that i can't spell...

the end.

for my friend who likes bugs.

ok, so i was looking at some strange college courses available across america, and i decided that heather needs to take this one:

Far Side Entomology

Oregon State The comic strip "The Far Side" featured a rich universe filled with interesting animals and bugs. Far Side Entomology professor Michael Burgett uses the comic strip as a teaching tool to explore interactions between humans and insects. About the course, Burgett says "The anthropomorphism in the cartoons makes an immediate connection between insects and people … Students take those connections farther, connecting to ideas and relationships they wouldn’t have imagined in a straight systematics course."

ideas

bad idea: storing guitar picks in the small tin in which i store pushpins. (or storing anything in a tin of pushpins.) had some trouble trying to get them out. ouch.

bad idea: switching the location of cups and plates after about 20 years of continuity. i can never ever remember which cabinet we keep the cups in. i open the wrong one ALL the time. and it's been at least three or four years since they have been switched.

bad idea: women's rugby.

good idea: putting hot curry powder on fried eggs. mmm mmm. i might be addicted.
