Top 5 Reasons My Wife Is More Hardcore Than I Am

5. In high school, she bought a guitar for the sole purpose of teaching herself how to play Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters”.

4. She supervises a bunch of industrial mechanics who call her “the little queen”, but NEVER to her face.

3. Though she understands subtext, she thinks it’s a waste of time and would rather tell someone off directly.

2. She’s used her diamond engagement ring as a weapon at least ten times more often than she has shown it off to her friends.

1. At least three different men at her workplace (at varying levels of seniority) have actively tried to take professional advantage of her (presumably because she’s a mechanical engineer who happens to be female and ethnic). They don’t work there anymore.

MAIL!

I got potato bread in the mail today, all the way from Florida!

I haven’t had potato bread in forever. I’ve got at least 2 flavours of jam, Nutella and brie to eat it with (not in the same bite… although maybe once for science).

Thanks, Cherylin!

When I posted about Missing e’s new keyboard shortcuts, I actually took a photo of my own keyboard with a DSLR and then photoshopped the icons in place and then clone-brushed the dust off of it.

Goddamnit, I’m having so much trouble focussing on my thesis.

One reason I wouldn’t want to move to the US

Your coke tastes terrible.

idsploder replied to your post: You know all those Chinese restaurants in North America that advertise ‘No MSG’?

I think a lot of people are allergic to MSG. Like my step-sister. Which is why she asked me to order the Chinese with no MSG the other day. Which I forgot to do. WHOOPS! Also, YUM!

That’s just it, though. Decades of medical research have failed to produce any clear or consistent link between MSG consumption and the so-called ‘MSG symptom complex’.

Williams, A. N. and Woessner, K. M. (2009), Monosodium glutamate ‘allergy’: menace or myth?. Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 39: 640–646.

What they neglect to tell you is that MSG makes tasty stuff taste even better.

Also, that double-blind placebo-controlled experiments have shown that MSG is safe, and reports of MSG “allergies” are blown way out of proportion…

and it’s tasty.

It’s amazing you have a wife.

The trick to being able to be a geek is marrying a geek.

I want to do something fun with these, but can’t figure out what.

I keep my laptops too pristine to sully with stickers, but it would be nice to slap these somewhere I’ll see them often.

Also, Crumpler has the best camera bags ever. FYI.

Thoughts?

About

I'm an engineer in my late 20s from the outskirts of Toronto, Canada. Don't let that scare you, as I am adept at pretending I'm "normal".
