I want to be a digital organizer, but I’m also a folder nesting whore and things get out of sight out of mind to easily. I find my daily tasks and todos are much more effective if I write them down in a small notebook that I always keep in my bag.

When I first played Mass Effect I thought it was silly that I could give Shepard a first name that would never be used, so I tried to come up with the absolute dumbest first name I could think of. Turns out BanjoShepard is available on practically every platform, so it became my internet persona.
The pictures are correct, but they don’t show how traffic can back up for miles before the merge point with everybody sitting in just one lane, and some guy who has taken it upon himself to police everyone else’s “manners” swerving to block anyone who dares to the the open lane and “cut in line.”
When I was on the fence about teaching English any longer, a friend of mine encouraged me to try software development because “[I] know languages, and [I] like to build things.” I still feel a lot more comfortable with a saw and clamps, but I think he’s right.
I’ll add “The Great Automatic Grammatizator.” It’s my favorite by far, but I like all of the stories in “The Umbrella Man and other stories.”
When you wake up early after a snowstorm and nobody has gone out yet it looks so beautiful. The snow also dampens sounds, and it makes the sound of people shoveling their walks a little magical. Then six hours later it’s just dirty, and annoying.
I was accused of plagiarism in a college history class. Out of the four page paper, a single sentence came back as a high match to an article I had never read. The sentence was really generic too; something like “Skywalker light and sound became a leader in the industry.” I plead my case to the professor, and he believed me, but he still knocked me a letter grade.
Not truly classical, but Copland is my go to. For a single work, I could listen to Dvork’s 9th forever.
Locally biased, but I’ll die defending a burger from Runza as the best burger you can get in a drive through. I think it’s the bun that really sets it apart; it’s so soft.
I always assumed the lighter color of a giraffe was the default or background color and the spots were abnormally dark. This is throwing me off because the spotless one is the same color as the spots would be.
I think I meant buy. I’ve edited the comment. That said, after rereading the story last tonight, the reason they buy the rights to authors names is to eliminate competition and maximize profits.
This reminds me of the short story “The Great Automatic Grammatizator” by Roald Dahl. In the story a machine is invented that can write great stories, but it’s creators go around buying the naming rights of authors so people will actually not their books.
Aldi has Frosted Mini-wheats that keep don’t get as soggy and hold on to the frosting longer.
I used this system more than I care to admit and never had significant problems with it. My biggest issue was when trying to modify an existing item on the ticket.
