Real nice.
“So Christian devotion correlates with approval for absolute evil in America. And people wonder why atheism is gaining in this country.” —Andrew Sullivan
Thank you, Mon.thly, for the new feature - a visual representation of my cycle*.

Glad you like it! Let me know if you think of anything else you’d find helpful and I’ll add it to the list.
“Such is the dilemma of the linguist, or at least the linguist who has any desire to reach anyone outside their—excuse me, his or her—discipline. A sizable group of people is partial to attending discussions and reading books about language. But what this group wants to hear is antithetical to what scholars of this subject want to say.”

Every time this is kicked up by shuffle, I have to stop whatever I’m doing. Completely.

Cover letters
| Jen: | What the heck do I put in a cover letter for this thing? |
| Heather: | Ugh, cover letters suck. |
| Jen: | They do. You ever see that South Park episode about hybrid cars? Everyone who drove a hybrid car eventually started to enjoy the smell of their own farts because they were so smug. That's how I feel whilst composing these things. |
| Jen: | "I am detail oriented! [fart] *sniffff* ahhhh" |

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. |
Orion and I spotted this in a Lucky last week.
