As a general rule, I am too impatient to watch videos, online or elsewhere. Tragically, The Internets have trained me to need constant interactivity, and video-watching requires too many senses for realistic multitasking.

BUT! Meera linked to this and it has captured my heart.

Crest Pro Health

Me: Hey, Jen, can you do me a favor and start using this new toothpaste I got so it's gone sooner? It's really awful.
Jen: Dude, your toothpaste tastes like Pepto Bismol.
Jen: I was all, "whatever, no toothpaste can really be that bad, I've tried just about every toothpaste sample under the sun, hit me with your best shot, Crest," but oh man. That is some mad unpleasant toothpaste. It's … offensively bland. With an assy aftertaste.
Jen: It's still not as bad as the Citrus Blast Whitening Expressions (marketed by Emeril Lagasse, as in BAM! that's some gross-ass toothpaste) or the chocolate-flavored extra fluoride stuff I had for my braces, but it ranks pretty low.

Grant pointed this out. Fantastic!

Is there anything sadder

than a planeload of people flying from San Francisco to Chicago in mid January? Today, the temperature difference is just about 80 degrees.

Smooooth jazzzz

Orion: for those of you not here in the lobby with us:
Orion: everybody loves the sunshine
Orion: folks get down in the sunshine
Orion: the sunshine
Orion: GOTO 10

I found my diploma

lying in a brown, crusty snowdrift outside my building on the way to the airport. Poetic, UPS.
