Deven did well on this math test. But look at the dirty trick they pulled on question #2… poor Deven got sucked right in to the ol’ switcheroo and ended up with a crummy 94%.

Hang in there, Deven. Life is full of crap like that.

There is a horrible trend going on right now. That horrible trend is vampire fanfare. The worst part of this horrible trend is stupid books and movies featuring brooding teens with sleepy facial expressions.

Finding this movie case made my skin crawl, not because I picked it up off the ground but because it is for one of these trendy, stupid movies about unoriginal, angst filled, teenage vampires. I fear that the owner was just so excited to watch the movie that the case was thrown aside as the DVD was thrown into the nearest DVD player. But I hope that it was a gift from a clueless soul and that the DVD was disposed of somewhere else.

The panda bear is best known for getting frightened by a baby panda’s sneeze, and for taking its frustration out on a tree branch. What most people don’t know is that the panda’s diet is 99% bamboo, which is amazing.

I have never cuddled a real panda bear but would love to. I cuddled this one; a little dirt doesn’t bother me.

This new house owner had seven things to take care of… and managed to get the most frustrating one out of the way before losing the list. The rest of the items are pretty simple and were probably remembered later.

And check out that last list item as a reward for finishing the list. I can’t think of a better way to be welcomed into a new house.

Drawings of violence, aliens, weapons, and body modification were not part of this student’s assignment but should probably be given due attention. I wonder if he had planned on handing this in.

F.

My cell phone finds have entered the modern age. The media has annoyingly been referring to these as “smart phones”. (Media: please stop calling them that, and stop calling snow “the white stuff”)

I’ve never used a Blackberry… this is actually the first one I’ve even held. I don’t really care for it. The buttons are small, I don’t like the trackball, the screen is cracked, and it won’t make outgoing calls. I guess it would maybe just take some getting used to.

I hope Dawn has a sense of humour because Auntie Debbie sure does. I also hope Dawn is beyond an age where something like this might be traumatizing.

It’s kind of a funny card. However, the breasts look pretty fake. I for one have yet to see breasts with guitar string callouses on them. Perhaps I’m just inexperienced.

I hope you had a lovely birthday, Dawn. I can only imagine what it was like when Uncle presented the cake.

I found this baby bottle on the sidewalk by work. In the distance, a baby cried. Talk about distracting.

The baby bottle holds 236mL, which is perfect because that’s the size of one of those little cans of soda pop.

This lock was found closed and locked. I thought I would try ten combinations each day until I got it open. I started at 001. That wasn’t it. Then I tried 002. That wasn’t it either. By this point, I was already losing hope.

My friend Mark got into it within a few minutes. The combination was 432. That would have taken a while with my method.

I found this credit card on the bridge, with no wallet or person in sight. I don’t know why someone would carry just a loose credit card. Maybe it had been stolen, then lost. Those absentminded thieves…

When I got to work, I phoned the number on the credit card. After bypassing their scrutinizing security checks, I spoke to someone who took my name and number to pass along to the credit card holder.

I haven’t heard from the guy yet. Rude. I didn’t *have to* rescue his card and credit rating… and I don’t want anything in return. But a phone call, high praise, and a steak dinner would be appreciated.
