My Halloween costume:

This is pretty much dead on how I am feeling this week:

Top 5 hard words to translate:

1.) Mamihlapinatapai - a look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start.

2.) Schadenfreude - pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others

.... That's actually all I have... I've known about Schendenfraude for a while (as should any other person who roots against the Yankees), but Mamihlapinatapai is a new one. I digg it.

First day of work today!

Seems like it'll be a good time. First day I walk into my plant and who do I see? the brother of the guy who I had been living with for the past 5 months. Pretty crazy if ya ask me.

But yea, that was the highlight of the day pretty much. A lot of paperwork and "getting me into the system." That's a lot of what this week is going to be.

Oh, and I'll have a daily starting time of 6 AM. That won't be fun. Oh well, that's what ya get for being the n00b. As a final thought, today made me think of this. And yes, having true life events make one recall an xkcd does make one a major nerdburger.

So does using the word "one" instead of "me".

XKCD gets even cooler

The creator of famed web comic XKCD may just win the entire internetz one day. Not only does he have the nerdiest web comic ever, he struck pure gold with his comparison websites.

Learn what the best, funniest, fairest, and cutest thing ever is by venturing to their respective websites, giving a few votes of your own, then reading the respective top lists to learn what really is the Best Thing Ever.

For the record, the current best thing ever: being outside at night in the perfect temperature. Can't argue with that much...

This is too perfect

Why yes, of course I lol'ed!

RIP Gary

Oh and p.s. there is no reason it should be snowing this hard in March.
