I just hate it when people come in the room like that.

I like Garfield & Peanuts, too.

I only just realised that.

Yay, people who like Garfield and Peanuts!

I wish I could share with you guys the funny words mixup/confusion that happened in my conversation with my sister and father.

<--- Waiting till the day when someone comes knocking on my door with the keys to a brand new Prius C.

Ugh, thank goodness thanksgiving is almost over. It's my least favorite holiday by far.

just heard a good piece of advice.

Never reason with a fool.

In the spirit of the day, I am thankful for my beautiful family that brings me joy by their presence. I am also thankful for good friends, and everyone who enriches life in their individual way. I'm a lucky gal.

I got a big day ahead of me tomorrow!

We don't even celebrate it in my country. I'm a little jealous of that, but then being annoyed at how it's EVERYWHERE just because it's American and the US is a major country who's infulence or somehting is all over the world is the same as someone who doesn't celebrate Christmas being annoyed at Christmas being EVERYWHERE just because it's a famous and tradional time that many people and many religions celebrate and stuff.

Whatever annoys you, there is always something you do that annoys others. I just made that up just now.

We recently imported Hallowe'en into the Netherlands. The kicker is that we already had our own religious equivalent of it in the form of 'Allerheiligen' (literally 'All Hallows'), while the tradition of kids going by the doors to ask for sweets while carrying lanterns was merged with the celebration of Saint Martin (celebrated mostly in the northern part of the Netherlands) on the 11th of November. Similar to how the popularity of American culture helped introduce Father Christmas to Dutch Christmas celebration tradition, even though we had already been celebrating the holiday of Saint Nicholas on the 6th of December.
The introduction of Hallowe'en into Holland is mostly commercially motivated, as it will typically cause a great spike in the sale of sweets, pumpkins, novelty costumes, and general handicraft products like glue, paper, etc. In other words, as is typical here in the Netherlands, it's all about the 'cha-ching'! The kids love it, and just go along with it.

Lalalala, surfing the want ad sites looking for a job...

Lalalala, listening to some Tony Toni Toné....

i saw an ad for a product called "the official brooklyn lantern" in the TV today, and it is a device that has LED lights in it that can be switched on to light up a room during a blackout.

i was almost tempted to buy it until they said that the LED lights would shine for 100,000 hours.
i rang every electronics company i could think of and asked them if they sold stop watches that ran for 100,000 hours and they said "no", so i decided that i could not accurately measure how long they would stay lit, so i could never verify their claim to my satisfaction.

sometimes it is better to say less in commercials.
