MY MOM WILL BE HERE IN A WEEK
[joyful screeching]
A SURVEY FOR THE AGES
(Not really. Just a plain ol’ survey.)
Think of your last ten kisses, were they with the same person?
Yup.
Who was the last person you were under a blanket with?
Nate (and Jazzy).
Did anyone see you kiss the last person you kissed?
Nope.
Who was the last person to call you?
My mom.
Have you ever kissed someone inside a vehicle?
Duh.
How are you feeling?
Like a failure. As always.
How does your hair look?
Absolutely terrible. As always.
Would you ever try being a vegetarian?
Sure. I don’t eat much meat, so it would be easy to give up.
What do you carry with you at all times?
My external hard drive and USB, which have backups of all my stuff. I’m super paranoid about losing all my stuff.
This time last year, can you remember who you liked?
My husband.
Have you ever gone out of your way to make someone happy?
Sure.
Any plans for summer?
Working. Panicking. Being sad. The usual.
Do you believe teenagers can fall in love?
Sure?
Will you be in a relationship next month?
Haha, hopefully.
Does sex mean love?
WHAT KIND OF DUMB–
What are you doing for your next birthday?
Nothing special, hopefully.
If your girlfriend/boyfriend broke up with you tonight, where would you go?
I don’t have a girlfriend or boyfriend. I have upgraded to HUSBAND, yo.
What are you wearing on your feet?
Nothing.
Have you ever had feelings for someone who was seeing someone else?
Indeed.
What are your plans for tomorrow?
Work. Groceries. Baseball.
How old are your siblings, if you have any?
No sibbies.
Is your birthday in less than 6 months?
Nope.
Would you rather get stuck on an island with your ex or a python?
…what if my ex IS a python? DIDN’T THINK OF THAT, DID YOU
Do you get upset over the opposite sex easily?
I get upset over EVERYTHING easily.
Do you live closer to the desert or a body of water?
Water.
In school, are you one of those people who often get nominated for Homecoming courts, etc?
HAHAHAHAHAH no
LAMINAR FLOW
This guy’s absolute adoration of laminar flow is so freaking awesome.
Is…is this how I am with Leibniz?
Yo
Cespedes had a “ranch incident” and broke his ankle, ‘cause he’s a Met and of course he did.
I shouldn’t have laughed so hard at this, but I did.
Goodbye, My Sweet, Sweet Kilogram
So today is a historic day. Why? The kilogram has been officially re-defined to be based on a fundamental constant of nature rather than a physical object.
Since 1889, our bro the kilogram had been defined by “Le Grand K,” a small platinum alloy object that was kept as isolated as possible (to try to avoid any increase/decrease in its mass) and was THE definition of the kilogram. Whatever Le Grand K weighed, it equaled a kilogram.
And up until today, the kilogram was the last of the SI base units to be defined by a physical object rather than a fundamental constant. But that all changed today when the International System of Units officially changed the definition of the kilogram to be in terms of the Planck constant.
Y’all might be like who gives a poop, but this is seriously cool and historic news. We redefined a basic unit of measurement today. How often does that happen? The last time we did it was in 1960 with the meter. Now the kilogram is actually constant and is not in flux with the minute changes that take place with a physical object.
NNNNNF THAT’S JUST FREAKING COOL I LOVE THIS KIND OF STUFF
It’s also kinda sad. The uniqueness of the kilogram always made me happy and made it my favorite of the base SI units. It still is my favorite, though, ‘cause of its history.
Anyway.
(Yes, I’m fangirling over an SI unit, what’re you gonna do about it?)
Canadian League Baseball: Week 7 Summary
Here are the standings at week 7! We’re starting to see a little bit of separation now.
Poor Yukon and Yellowknife. It’s too cold up there for baseball, haha.
‘Murica Truckin’
OH SHIT
American Truck Simulator is getting a Washington state expansion!
That means Seattle, Spokane, and…maybe Pullman??
SUPER COOL I NEED IT
Edit:
It looks so freaking pretty, holy crap.
Next they need Idaho. I bet a lot of people would be like “lawl, why the potato state, there’s nothing there!”
Um.
- Yellowstone
- Craters of the Moon
- Rocky Mountains
- Shoshone Falls
- Hells Canyon
- The Lewiston grade (super cool for truckers?!?)
I think all of those things would be cool.
Anyway.
Yeah, all the blogs aren’t posted yet.
HAHAHA so remember when I said these blogs would all be posted by mid-May?
I’m a big fat ugly liar, aren’t I?
To be fair, there are 650+ of theses backed-up buggers. And I’m working on it.
Maybe by the end of the month? Sorry I’m such a disappointment.
(Edit from mid-July: LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL)
HmmmMMMMMmmm
Hahaha, I found this movie terrifying as a kid as well.
Edit: aaaaaand of course they’re making a sequel this year. Nothing is safe. Humans are terrible.
Dear Kitten:
Okay, this is cute as hell.
“Vacoom.”
Young man / why you wearing a frown / I said young man / SHIT’S ABOUT TO GO DOWN
(It’s the May List)
- THE BLOGS ARE COMING, I PROMISE
- What in the name of the seven holy fucks is this music video?
- It’s my brain as of late:
- It’s been two days without a Mets game and I am in freaking withdrawal.
- My skin looks really clear in this picture. It also looks like I’m completely out of fucks. I kinda like it (at least as much as I can “like” any picture of myself).
OKAY BYEEEEEE
Canadian League Baseball: Week 6 Summary
Here are the standings at week 6! I should make a document or something of the 25-man rosters for each team so that anyone who is interested (which is probably just me) can see where all the big players are in this fake league. I could put a link to it on here or something.
Adventures in Calgary
Today Nate and I adventured to a new part of the city on our walk and I remembered that I’m really bad at re-applying sunscreen to the backs of my hands after I wash all the sunscreen off the fronts of my hands (‘cause I hate the way it feels).
That is comically horrible.
I have to teach on Monday, which means this weird-ass sunburn is going to show up over the projector. Awesome.
‘Sokay, it’ll tan out in a few days and then I’ll be left with a weird dark patch of skin on the back of my otherwise pale hand…which is…even more attractive…
But anyway, we did almost 18 miles and it was great. Walking in 70-degree weather in the sun is way better than walking in the cold, blowing snow (which is what we were doing last weekend, haha).
EEEEEEEE
I MIGHT HAVE NEWS IN THE NEAR FUTURE BUT I DON’T WANNA JINX IT SO YOU GET A CAPS LOCK BLOG OKAY BYE
EigenLOSER
Man, I really need to update Eigenblogger.
Not only the blog posts, of course, but like everything else.
My “About” section could use a bit of a re-vamp; my “100 Things” list most definitely needs to be updated.
I don’t think I’ve updated my “365 Songs” page since 2017, despite the fact that I’ve still kept up to date with getting a new song daily.
Life’s rough.
Maybe once I get all these garbage backlogged blogs posted, I’ll update everything else.
Stay tuned, I know you all are on the edge of your seats.
Absolute Unit(s)
This makes me abnormally excited. I don’t know what it is with me and the SI units, but I dig ‘em, man.
And let’s be honest: I searched “kilogram” and read every related bit of info that came up, ‘cause the kilogram is my bro.
Roomba Rambo
Hahahaha, oh my god.
This Roomba is like my internal dialogue.
“I’m a Roomba! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK”
A Thought:
I propose that they officially change the name of Big Ben to “Large Benjamin.” It just sounds so much more British.
Also, “Big Ben” sounds like a name that bullies on the playground would come up with.
This is why I have no friends.
Canadian League Baseball: Week 5 Summary
Here are the updated current standings for week 5! Simulation Syndegaard is still hurt. Simulation Zack Wheeler is also out for the season with a ruptured ulnar collateral ligament, which sounds pretty gnarly (and sucks ‘cause his ERA was 1.70 so far).
I suspect the reason that Vancouver is doing so badly is because they’re all freaking sad that they have to play in Vancouver.
Hoof
Go see Endgame, it’s good.
You probably won’t have to walk 16 miles through the snow to go see it like Nate and I did (‘cause, you know, it’s freaking May, why shouldn’t it be snowing?), but go see it anyway.
I FORGOT TO MENTION…
I got a huge tax return this year. We’re talking $8,700.
What in the actual hell, Canada.
A good portion of that is going to the furnace/water heater we just had to replace, but what about the rest of it?
(Can I buy a Theremin?)
Uhhhhh…
So remember like two days ago when I said I’d get my blogs posted by the 15th or so?
Haha, now I have to follow through on that. I have 650+ blogs and have none of them up in the queue. Gross.
To be fair, though, that’s really the thing that’s kept me from actually posting these things daily. I just…I just don’t like the process of uploading them.
Sometimes it’s quick and easy—copy and paste the Word doodad version into the WordPress doodad thingy, click “Post,” and done. But if there’s any formatting at all I need to do (or, heaven forbid, upload pictures!), I’m like, nah.
I know, I know. That is the most pathetic thing to complain about. But I’m doing it, so there ya go.
(I’m also writing this blog to help procrastinate against working on getting all the back blogs posted, so great start on that whole thing.)
Eigenblogger: 13 Years
HEYOOOOOOOOOO so I’ve been blogging for 13 years now!
That’s quite a while, don’t you think?
And I guess now that Eigenblogger’s 13 years old, it’s officially a teenager…which leads me to the terrifying thought that if I’d had a kid just as I was finishing high school, it would only be 13 now.
Yikes.
But it’s a blog, not a kid, so I’m cool with it.
Thanks for sticking with me, y’all, even though I suck at posting these things.
Here’s to another 13 years!
IT’S A BLOG POST HOLY CRAP
Hey, nerds.
So unfortunately for everyone involved, I am not dead. I am instead very much alive and have been pumping these daily blogs into a Word document that is approaching 300 pages.
I finally have a span of about a week where I can breathe before diving back into work, so I’ll be using that time to prep said Word document blogs and actually post them here, where they belong. As if anyone cares.
Anyway, that’s gonna take some time (there are like 650+ of them, no joke). But I figured I’d post today’s blog prior to all the other ones just to give my subscribers a bit of a warning that there will be a BLOG FLOOD in the next half month or so.
I’d actually recommend unsubscribing until, say, late May so that you don’t get bombarded with notifications.
Hell, unsubscribe permanently. I would.
I’m a failure.
But yeah, here’s the warning. I’d say unsubscribing and then coming back on…May 17th should be plenty of time.
Okay bye.
