The things that go through my brain.
At my last company, one year they changed our health insurance partner to a new company. This new company had a program where you could get a free pedometer at the beginning of the year to track the steps you take everyday, and it allowed you to upload your data to their website, which then [...]
Today, my friend Souha and I were talking about the Successful Black Guy and Ordinary Muslim Man memes that are going around. Those crack me up so bad (pretty much all those in that genre of meme make me laugh a lot) and I got to thinking… They need an “Average Suburban Woman” meme! Truth [...]
I kind of have a secret love for spam messages. I really do hate them, but there’s always something so hilarious about it all – particularly the spam comments that WordPress filters out for me automatically on my blog. I have the option to review my spam comments on here before I trash them for [...]
(For Jim. ;D) I’m tired of weather forecasters and news agencies over-sensationalizing winter weather threats. Snow happens every year. So does ice. EVERY DAMN YEAR. I’m all for preparedness, but don’t tease me with promises of “THE WORST STORM SINCE 1996 ZOMGGGGG!!!” and give me 2 inches of snow with a smidgen of freezing rain. [...]

You may remember a few weeks back my post on engineered diversity. Well, apparently this version of mocked-up fake diversity is no stranger to the toddler world. I guess it was too much trouble to get an actual group of toddlers to pose together, hm? Meh. I guess everyone knows that toddlers are naturally intolerant, [...]
1. Asians are good at math. I don’t understand where this came from, but everyone always wants to cheat off of poor Wei-Chang in algebra class. Asians are supposed natural mathletes, but why? I’m sure all Asian preschoolers are up at the crack of dawn practicing their multiplication tables, but does this somehow make them [...]
First off, Merry Christmas!! Anyway… I get thousands of emails a day asking how to make a haiku. It’s really easy, and sometimes you can make a haiku without even realizing it. Haiku are sneaky little bastards like that. (I blame the Japanese and all their sneaky magic.) So, for all of you that are [...]
Today is Christmas Eve. I thought, “I bet I can find a Christmasy example of fake diversity!” So I started trying to figure out search terms that I couple put into Google Image Search to yield the best results. I decided on “Santa’s Elves”. Surely there’s some overly contrived photo of multiethnic elves out there, [...]
1. Wonder Woman. Any super hero that’s a chick, has super jewelry, AND drives an invisible flying car is awesome in my book. Plus she’s a brunette (more like black-haired with blue highlights – what’s up with that anyway?) and being a brunette myself, I always respect fellow brunettes. And best yet – SHE’S AN [...]
