Seeing how many parking garage/lot stubs I can collect before they annoy me.
Here’s where this insulting, degrading video to real geeks went wrong.
While some people in it are really geeks, most aren’t, and the inclusion of some is baffling. Being a popular user of a “new media” site, or being a “new media” celebrity, doesn’t make you a geek. There’s absolutely no connection whatsoever. This video tarnishes true geek culture with new-media celebrities because — surprise — it was made by new-media people, many of whom try to be cool by saying that they’re geeks (which, in addition to being far from the truth, is guaranteed to insult and frustrate actual geeks).
Being a good user of computers and internet-based services stopped being a geek-exclusive behavior a very long time ago. Geek culture isn’t something that a Twitter celebrity suddenly enters because Twitter was written by programmers and runs on servers.
I could rant about this for much longer, but anyone who can tolerate my tumblelog for more than a few sentences is much more likely to be a geek than half of the people in this video, so I’m preaching to the choir.
Couldn’t have said it better myself…
a reminder for myself
Can we talk about this later? via splan160
Bobby Bones is on the tumblr radar?? I’m sorry…I mean “popular stuff”.
Turkey Burger continued...
Since both my boyfriend and my bestie inquired about my turkey burger, I decided to give some more details. I buy lean fully-cooked turkey burgers from H-E-B and they only require 2 minutes in the microwave. For the last 10 seconds or so, I will put a piece of fat free cheese on the burger.
I’ve never really eaten turkey burgers before, and the taste took a day or two to get used to, but now with pickles, mustard, cheese, and tons of ketchup, I find them to be delicious.
Been eating turkey burgers this week.

Oh also, I spit apples pieces that he can chew at him, and yesterday it landed on his head and he couldn’t figure out where it went.

Lacey in a concerned e-mail about Muffins. WTF dude, don’t spit at Muffins! (via erinnicole)
Added Lacey note: I even commented to Rhonda yesterday, that’s it’s only okay to spit food while indoors if there is a dog present.
Got a pedi on my lunch break. Hardly feels glamorous with my color choices.
If you haven’t tried these, do yourself a flavor and pick some up.
Exaggerations
Friday night, I went bowling with a group of about 10 people. We split into two lanes and had a carefree time. Well, we start to notice that my roommate Rhonda is dominating everyone. She had the highest score by far. I started to remember that her brother and her dad play on leagues and maybe she has had more practice then everyone. I started to let everyone know about this little secret of hers.
Then she rolls 2 strikes in a row. Now I am telling everyone that she comes from a “bowling family” and she was born for this.
After her 4 strikes in a row, I start exclaiming that she comes from a bowling DYNASTY!!!
It was funny, because everyone believed she was huge into bowling and that she must practice all the time, when in truth, she hadn’t played in 2 years and has never played on a league (that I know of). So if anyone is reading this that I exaggerated her past to - her parents also did NOT meet in a bowling alley, or conceive her in one.
Happy Mother’s Day
I used to watch O’Reilly to maintain a healthy dose of anger. Now Glenn Beck is the one that does that. However anger turned to laughs as I noticed he was wearing a blue jean shirt.
Only one at the gym
