Add this to the list of DH's "done while drunk" stories =P

Only Living When Dying

Why is it that people only get around to living when they find out they're dying? (Guilty, btw).

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture

We now pause for station identification...

I am alive. At least, for the moment. Finals are over on December 7th. Ask again once my hangover clears on the 9th.

Seven Things

Seven Things About Me

1. I have a lot of sock yarn, especially since discovering I can handpaint my own and sell it on Etsy.

2. I talk too much when I get nervous, all the time thinking that I am making a complete ass of myself and yet still unable to stop the insane verbage falling from my mouth at a million miles per hour.

3. I say "Seriously" way too much.

4. I immediately think "where the hell did she learn that?" each and every time my daughter repeats whichever curse word I said last.

5. I have to run far, far away from my family once a week, just so that I can miss them.

6. I drink far too much coffee, which explains alot.

7. I am irrationally terrified by any weather capable of producing tornadoes, even though I live in an area where hurricanes are far more likely.

I don't know if I can come up with 7 more people. Consider yourself tagged. Please let us know 7 things about you.

The Third of May

It's now officially my twenty-ninth birthday and I'm here to make a guilty little confession. I'm desperately working to get my final design project finished and I've intentionally replayed the same episode of Project Runway countless times for no other reason than to hear Tim Gunn say "Make it work."

So what funny little things do you do when you find yourself running face first into the brick wall of a deadline?

In Theme

Keeping in Friday's theme of things that were not made to go together... Star Trek and Star Wars each have their own run-ins with the Monty Python crew.

Four Twenty

In honor of Four Twenty, Gilbert and Sullivan will now remix that old favorite "Baby Got Back" (because you must be smoking something to come up with stuff this silly).

Freaky Friday

In the process of making a comment on someone else's blog I pulled up Wikipedia to look up and make sure that I was citing a bit of internet "law" correctly. Reading the article led me to further "laws" and adages common to the net, and I thought I'd collect my findings here.

Godwin's Law: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."

Quirk's Exception: intentional invocation of Godwin's Law with the sole intent to end a thread results in Quirk's Exception, rendering the invocation invalid (see the Wikipedia article on Godwin's Law).

Benford's Law of Controversy: "Passion is inversely proportional to the amount of real information available."

Brooks' Law: "Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later."

Dilbert Principle: "The most ineffective workers are systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage: management."

Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity"

Ockham's Razor: "Explanations should never multiply assumptions without necessity. When two explanations are offered for a phenomenon, the simplest full explanation is preferable."

Stigler's Law of Eponymy: "No scientific discovery, not even Stigler's law, is named after its original discoverer."
