i had a package to mail today. it had a prepaid label. i walked to the post office and used the tape they had on the counter to tape it shut. i waited in line to give my box to the lady behind the counter. i waited some more. i got to the counter. the lady said she couldn't mail my box because the prepaid label was for parcel post and the tape i used to close the box was for priority mail. i asked if i could tear off the tape and use some other kind of post office tape. she said no, i would have to go buy some packing tape. i bid her good day and threw my box in a wood chipper.

i was googling "the cure" and accidentally typed in "the cute" and found this page. i like that they're battling the forces of evil on the internet, whether they know it or not.

being awake for 36 hours is a fun challenge. traveling for 12 hours overnight is not.
neither is 92 degrees with humidity.

oh those spunky south koreans.

someone remixed the radiohead song "nude" by using old PC hardware to make the sounds. skip about a minute into the song to get past the boring static.

you know what's annoying? wearing sandals and getting a bug bite on the bottom of your foot, right in the middle. i believe they call it the arch of the foot these days. not a good place for something itchy.

salt should not be an ingredient in toothpaste.
crazy all-natural toothpaste companies.
