Busing

There was a period in my life that I now like to refer to as The Bus Bin Days. This was the first year that I shared an apartment but had my own bedroom. Since I spent so much time in my room, I would eat all my meals at my computer desk. Because I sometimes lack forethought, or because I only go to the kitchen when I'm looking for food, dishes and glasses could accumulate in ridiculous amounts.

Aparantly I either have an iMac that runs
Windows or I don't have a CPU. Hmmm...

On day I had a brilliant idea. I had and empty milk crate.

Aaaaahhhh!

I collected all my dishes and plates and bowls and crap in it and was able to take it all to the kitchen in one trip. I was a genius! So I cleared a spot on a little table in my bedroom, placed the empty milk crate on it and proceeded to place all my used dishes in it as I used them.

Soooo many dishes.

My bus-bin was born!

Days or weeks would go by before taking my bin out to the kitchen to wash. Roommate started to notice that one day the dishwasher would be empty and the next 3/4 full. She noticed that we would be nearly out of dishes in the cabinet but they were no where to be found.

Finally, she one day came in my room looking for the vanishing dishes.

 I explained about my bus-bin. At least my dishes are making it out eventually?

Bus bins are a-MAZING!

We then spent the duration of the year playing a fun game where I would try to empty my bin at least once a week and when I took too long, I was yelled at.

Somehow we managed to stay friends.

Go Science

I just want you guys to know that, since I forgot to do this before I left work Sunday, that this post took extra work to be done and it's all so I don't let any of you down. At home my options to do Tuesday posts is to a) take a full screen shot on my PC and then crop in Paint (yuck) OR today I got my old-as-hell Mac charged up and used it to do them instead. If you don't have a Mac you have no idea what I'm talking about so just take my word for it. Anyway, now I remember why I was so eager to buy a new computer last summer when my old PC died (I killed it actually) and all I had was my G4 Powerbook (they stopped making Powerbooks). In short, my new Lenovo ThinkPad was a worthy investment. Moving along.

@tommyjohnagin

Stand-up comedian. Hilarious. Was totally robbed last year on Last Comic Standing. Check him out in this here video and on his website. And follow him on twitter if you like comedy and who doesn't?

Now in Tumblr world, I don't have anyone new you should be following so I'm just going to show off that I made this "screen-shot-scene" and it's been reblogged and "liked" all over the place. There's nothing like piles of useless emails from Tumblr to make you feel poplular. Oh and if you wanted to find me on Tumblr, since I've never actually posted it on here, this is me. It's kind of like my TV Thursday posts except everyday and with less text.

That's right, 277 notes since last Friday and counting.

I know what you're thinking. And yes, the name of my Tumblr page is almost as brilliant as the name of this blog. I don't know how I do it either.

I'll try to find some new awesome people to follow for next week.

Coffee and Legos

First and foremost I have to tell you that today is an extra special exciting day because Katherina over at 100 Miles Highway (you may remember she was a guest here a couple weeks ago), is hosting ME on her blog! Go there now and see my photo tour of my trip to Japan.

Now, onto Tumblr/Twitter Tuesday!

Legos on Tumblr
Your one stop shop for all things awesome and Legos.

@Starbucks
You may not be interested in random Starbucks news but they also tell you about any promotional events going on that you WILL NOT want to miss.

Keep Cool My Babies

Even if you don't love him like I do, Conan and Team Coco are definitely worth the follows. Quality comedy inside! I'm starting to think my Conan obsession is getting out of hand.




@ConanOBrien

Team Coco on Tumblr

I scoured the internet and could not find a clip of Conan saying "keep cool my babies." Oh well, sucks to be anyone who will never be able to understand this post's title.

Stay Classy for Breakfast

I have almost no way to make titles for these that make any actual sense. I like em.





@TheFray

I unfollowed most of the bands I was following because they didn't have anything good to say. But The Fray sprinkles in fun every once in a while and doesn't barrage me with band information I don't want. I've never been to Chipotle but I gather it's a big deal that they no longer use a silver wrapper.

ilovecharts on tumblr

I've only seen this movie like 1.5 times and this is still awesome. I love the plaid circle.

What's Better than Bruce Campbell and Caburry Eggs? Answer: Nothing.

The Daily What on Tumblr

Holy fuck-balls. [Sorry if that offends anyone.] I will be making these so soon! Watch for how that goes on my recipe day (Friday).


@Jeffrey_Donovan

Heck yeah Sam Axe movie!

Tumblr/Twitter Not-Tuesday

2nd late post in a week. Sorry to anyone if you noticed. Everyone who didn't notice, well you should pay more attention to me because, well, why wouldn't you. I've been a little off my game for the past week and will do my best to do that less or not at all. At least not twice in one week :) Also, if you notice that I have links to things that have nothing to do with seemingly anything, (such as the one above), That's just my way of taking you with me on the tangent filled journey that is my train of thought. And I thought it might add some fun for you guys!  Moving along, I bring you, this weeks: Tumblr/Twitter Tuesday.


Just like a lot of things such as blogging and other stuff I can't specifically think of right now, I'm about 5 years late of these newfangled things called podcasts. I blame it on not having an Ipod and my incorrect understanding that you could only listen to them with an Ipod. Or atleast I just never thought there was anything of quality that I would be interested in. That was until comedian Greg Behrendt tweeted about the podcast he does which I fell in love with immediately.

So much randomness, so much self-deprecation, so much hilarity. Available on iTunes of course and also here for direct download. I should warn you that there are a bunch of inside jokes now which can be confusing so I recommend going back to the beginning if you like this week's.


If you like the Gilmore Girls and are Tumblr you must follow:

If you're not on Tumblr, its time to join so you can follow lukesdiner. Nothing but Gilmore Girls picture quotes. It's exactly what my Tumblr feed was missing.  You're welcome.

I "Like" Demetri Martin's Doodles

I follow stand-up comedian @DemetriMartin on twitter, and when he started drawing pictures like this one:

he started tweeting the links for them. They're pretty awesome so check them out.


I found this:

on Tumblr. They're not real but, holy crap, they should be.  Someone start a petition to get Facebook to get these made. Just think about how useful the "Dislike" one would be for girls when they get hit on in bars. Originally found on 9 gag.

Blog Post Titles, Like Email Subject Lines, Are Hard.

I'm swapping Tuesday's and Thursday's themes because my schedule will better accommodate them this way.  The 2" of ice I drove to work in an hour ago... SUCKED.

Expecting Two Feet of Snow

Found on:

More paper animated videos by @ericpowerup found here.

Birbigs' Hand Door Knobs

Today I'm just gonna dive right in. Enjoy!
<---(This was actually a Thursday)





Awesome thing I found on Tumblr:

Article found here.

One day I WILL have these in my home. Or not. Okay probably not but I can still dream. Plus, I'm pretty clumsy so I bet I'd be constantly bruised on my hip bones from walking into them. So maybe not such a good idea.







Awesome thing I found on Twitter:

Mike In A Window

I don't know how I didn't know about before yesterday, but one of my favorite stand-up comedians, Mike Birbiglia, is LIVING in a Macy's storefront for a week promoting Downy's "Clean Sheet Week." Definitely the most amazing thing I've heard in a while. The only thing that's not awesome about this is that it's not happening in a city near me so I can't go knock on the glass like in an aquarium. I might even do it thrice.


That's all for today. The only blog news I have for you is that as you could see up there ^ I did in fact create logos for my themes. I clearly have too much free time. Tomorrow is Recipe Day. I haven't chosen a recipe to feature yet but I promise it will be a doosey.
