It is. Or, at least, that's what you think when you make popcorn, put them in a bowl, go get salt, salt the popcorn, shake the bowl so the salt gets evenly distributed, and just then an evil bastard bit of corn decides to pop, so the fountain-of-popcorn effect is maximized. Happened to me yesterday, and I spent the following two minutes picking popcorn off the floor while the cats were going nuts chasing it.
And what the heck is up with Metafilter? Seems every other time I go check that site, it's down.
Also, a bit later than the rest of blogland so y'all have probably seen this already, anatomically correct Hulk toy (well, as anatomically correct as a toy of a big green guy with ripped shorts can be :p). (via Just Orb)
And, because I'm bored and have nothing to do and the questions are fairly interesting, Friday Five in the extended entry.
1. Do you remember your first best friend? Who was it?
If you consider "best friend" as "the friend I spent most of my time with", the first one was this girl in kindergarten named Daniela. If you consider "best friend" as "the friend I was completely comfortable with, who I trusted completely and who got told everything", this guy I met some three years or so ago.
2. Are you still in touch with this person?
See earlier split-off answer. Not in touch with Daniela, lost touch after kindergarten ended because she went off to live in a different city. No longer in touch with the guy who was my best friend, either. Could get back in touch perhaps, but currently he's being the Look At Me I Am MAN I Can Tell You To Fuck Off And Then Ignore You Even Though I Had Sworn Up And Down You Were My Best Friend And I Would Never Leave You ball-less wonder, and I am not making an effort to get back in touch with somebody like that. No way in hell.
3. Do you have a current close friend?
Current close friends? Several. None I could really call my best friend, though, that particular hole still has to be filled (obviously... it's not been that long since my "best friend" turned fuckwit).
4. How did you become friends with this person?
*shrug* Talking with them? How do you become friends with somebody? There's no tried-and-true method, as far as I know, you just start talking and you realize you have things in common.
5. Is there a friend from your past that you wish you were still in contact with? Why?
Yes and no. Yes, because I liked that particular friend, no, because I didn't particularly like how he acted.
