Random thoughts on big coffee mugs

Although I am certainly not opposed to large amounts of coffee, especially when I am falling asleep at my desk, I have come to the conclusion that much like small paperclips, large coffee mugs are useless.

1. the circumference alone makes your coffee cold in double the amount of time
2. it takes up a lot of useful desk or table room
3. while at breakfast with friends you unwillingly play peek-a-boo behind your cup every time you take a sip.
   

Are you kidding me?

Its not the fact that these people received mysterious laptops that bugs me about this article on Yahoo! odd news. Actually they all had my respect for being so careful, that is until I read this last sentence of the article:
"The state's auditor was also tricked into rerouting nearly $2 million meant for vendors into bank accounts set up by what investigators say is a Kenyan-based fraud ring."
Really? Doesn't everyone know about those frauds? I probably don't have nearly as much education as that auditor and yet somehow I know....I wonder if that person had a job the next day.

I wish

I sometimes wish I had the power to deflate people's car tires with my mind when they do one of (but not limited to) the following:

1. Cut me off and then drive slow (I would of course move out of the way before the deflation)
   
2. tailgate me and then get all super pissy pants and speed around me (thank Carrie for the pissy pants term. She is a treasure trove of excellent terms)
   
3. shout things to me when driving by (Catalina Blvd. is the College Ave of Point Loma/OB so there are a lot of college idiots)
4. Misuse the merging zipper affect.

I imagine these people all smug in there ridiculousness and then BAM! a nice slice of humble pie and their prideful smugness crumbles before them.

Spoons

Did you ever have a favorite spoon when you were a kid? The one spoon you always looked for in the drawer when it was your turn to set the table just so you could make sure to get that spoon. The one with the pretty flowers. Not that it was any different function wise than any other spoon but it was your favorite.
Confession: I have two now. Selfish? yes.
I think I could literally get rid of all my other spoons and be content with just the two. One long tea spoon and one wide soup spoon. They certainly are shaped different than the other spoons in the house but there is absolutely no real reason they should be my favorites. They just are.
There was no reason for this blog. Just my thoughts on spoons.

Exactly, well to some extent.

So I read this on CNN the other day and thought to myself, "good point"
You should read it too. Its hilarious.
25 Things I Didn't Want to Know About You
and before I am labeled as the hater of facebook, which I am not, facebook and I are pretty tight (if I could add facebook as a friend I would be all over that), I would like to point out that I do in fact want to know 25 things about some people but don't really want to know it about those people I added as friends because I can't say no to a friend request. Even if I don't really know them or I knew of them when I was in high school. Okay okay, basically if you are reading this or if I have ever actually, legitemetly hung out with you in my life time then you are indeed not included in the 25 things I didn't want to know about you.
And now I am rambling.

Old memories

I was talking with Jenni and Wendy the other night and somehow it came up that Jenni doesn't remember when she was four. It made me wonder how far back can people actually remember? Are there statistics on that sort of thing? Am I the only one who wonders about these things?
I know I rembember things from when I was four and there is one specific memory of a camping trip and slipping halfway down a steep hill that my mom says I was like three (Jenni disagrees). Does it seem weird to remember things when you were that young? I guess there is really no point to this blog except to say I am just curious of how far other people's memories go back.

Oh and Ps. this is the last day of NaBloPoMo! YAHOOOOOO! I made it!
