Get ya learn on

hy would my shift key be fucking with me when my computer isnt even a year old? Quality stuff here, kids.

Seamus has the most amusing books of useless facts and I thought I'd share a few to keep the spirit of learning positive on this here blog. So, lets all learn something together!

Did you know that:

Hard-rock music makes termites chew through wood at twice their usual rate.

Bloodhounds cannot smell the difference between identical twins.

It takes food seven seconds to reach the stomach.

Only an estimated 6% of Beatles autographs are real.

There are $680 worth of Ebay transactions every second.

One in ten Europeans was conceived on an Ikea bed (according to the company).

In 37% of Americans the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

About 8,000 Americans are injured by musical instruments every year.

More than 50% of the world's population have never made or received a phone call.

Everyone is color blind at birth.

My thirst for wine has never been mistaken for anything else. Anywho, there is a whole book of them so I could obviously go on and on.

In other news, school has been "meh" and I dont think I like my Analytic Geometry teacher but there isnt a damn thing I can do about it. My pool game has been OK recently, but nothing to brag about. Though, I have been winning matches recently and that has been nice. Things with Seamus are (obviously) splendid.

The possibility that he and I may move in together has come up recently. My roommates are expecting a baby in the next 6 or 7 months and will most likely want my room for a nursery. Seamus's landlord keeps getting scary looking mail from a mortgage company at his house, and last week there was a threatening notice posted on the door. Im not sure how long foreclosure takes, but I hope its about 6 or 7 months. Right now, we are keeping the status quo, with me mostly staying at his place (where there is a better TV, better cable and a better desk to spread the homework out on) and the two of us occasionally crashing at my place. My guess is that if we joined forces and got a place together, the biggest difference would be that we would be spending less money on rent between the two of us.

I need to get my sleep schedule back on track. Is it possible to make yourself be sleepy enough to fall asleep at a certain time? I guess thats what sleep aids are for. Also, my cat has decided that she is the only one allowed to nap during the day, as every time I try to lay down to catch a couple winks after class, she is all up in my shit, purring and kneading and doing anything in her power to keep me awake. I told Seamus that I was going to wake her up every time I caught her in cat nap, but he made the compelling argument that the likeliness of her grasping the concept of my revenge is very, very slim. And I guess just pissing her off would do no one any good. So she wins this time, but I'll get mine somehow. Mark my words.
