Another night in the lab...

I just heard a tube drop (finally) so I guess I won't be blogging so very long. It's been one of those nights where you just kind of twiddle your thumbs and look up random stuff on the internet. Lately I've been going to http://www.cracked.com/ (the website of a funny magazine I used to read in my teens) and looking at all their top X number of something or other. Like this one:


Most of them I knew of already, but it was still interesting. I still don't understand how a sci-fi book based religion can take itself seriously in this day and age. I mean, I think the only reason all the other mystical/mythical religions are still around is because they have huge sections about being tolerant, and who can't get behind that idea?

Then there was this awesome one:


and one more:


In lighter news, the rift that was sitting uncomfortably in my family seems to have utter up and disappeared. Which is nice to be past that drama, but is still a little confusing. I'm not going to question why it went away (likely it had to do with me finding a house that was built in 2000), but suffice it to say that it did.
Maybe I read too much, but I've been told that my vocabulary choices stick out like a sore thumb. Which I find funny, because I can go from "precisely this" at one moment to "uh...like...iono" at the next. It's just inconsistent, and I don't know if it's one of those points that make me seem like a pretentious asshole. But I hope that with a little bit of roommate madness starting in May that maybe it'll all even out.
Top Ten Things I Will Not Miss When May Rolls Around
10) My personal space. If I get the house I'm looking at, I will have a luxurious master bedroom that I can run away to whenever I get overwhelmed. Or..uh...angsty. I'm sure it's going to come up at some point. It always does. But I will still have plenty of the personal space.
9) People upstairs making ungodly amounts of noise, or children running up and down the length of the floor.
8) Having to be quiet and not dance to my heart's content for fear of waking the people sleeping below me.
7) Lack of counter space, pantry space, and parking spaces.
6) Nights/days where nothing is going on and nobody's in town, so I just sit on the couch and veg way longer than I should.
5) Loud blaring music coming from a building across the way. Not to say this won't happen in a house, but at least I've got some thicker brick walls in between.
4) Not being able to put on my toe shoes whenever I have a whim to.
3)Disgusting smells wafting through my air vents whenever some idiot upstairs (I assume) tries to cook and inevitably fails. It's usually the smell of warmed-over-to-burnt ass, sometimes with a tomato sauce kick.
2) Time Warner. That expensive shit is going to GO.
1) Alarm clocks that people forget to turn off that happen to go off at 5 AM-7AM. Every morning. Never getting turned off.
