Elephants 101

Melissa is an artist. She draws elephants. Beautiful elephants.

Then she asked me to draw an elephant for her. The result?
Weee! That's me on an elephant!

Monica took pity on me and showed me how to doodle one that didn't look like a dog. Her version is on top. Mine... well, it's not so much an elephant as it is, ya know, a mutant with a mohawk.

PS: I drew this stuff on Monica's iPad2!! Ooooo. Anybody wanna buy me a Julymas present???

Keep the Change (heh, get it?)

The other day I swung by a famous fast food chain to purchase some tasty schmacos before class. I love schmacos. I'm not one to branch out and try new things when it comes to food but in the last year I discovered Cheesy Beefy Melts. They're rather awesome: cheese, meat, sour cream, a little bit of rice so you don't feel so guilty. Delicious.

So before class, I swung by the drive-thru and noticed that the menu looked different.

Look, lady. I don't know the difference between a Cheesy Beefy Melt and a regular Beefy Melt with cheese, and I don't understand the difference between a meal and combo.

I ended up with a Beefy Melt Combo, which is a Cheesy Beefy Melt meal with an additional taco, and guess what-- a Beefy Melt is exactly a Cheesy Beefy Melt.

You would think that story ends there.

Today, I was driving down the expressway and saw a billboard for Cheesy Beefy Melts. It looked like this:


Why would you remove the adjective "Cheesy" from the thing's name, then use it across TWO billboards to market the thing?!

*sigh*

Hi everybody!

Sorry it's been so long. Things have been crazy in the real world.








Fortunately all that stuff is over (for now.) You know what that means? Time for...


Yaaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been keeping a list of awesome things that have happened since the last time I posted. I figure I'll sprinkle them here a little bit at a time.

So what's first on my totally excellent blog post list?? I thought since you all liked the story about Jeff so much, I'd include another one with him in it. I call it,
