I love when people think their music is playing through their headphones when it’s actually playing through their computer so everyone can enjoy it. I’ve been keeping track of who does this and what was playing.
I had an assistant once who did this all the time. She didn't listen to music though. It was always to soulful southern gospel preachers. Every once in awhile she inserted an "mmm hmmm." I didn't really like that. She sent a lot of emails, did school work, researched good deals on cruises and made personal phone calls too. I said a lot to her in my head but I'm an approval addict so I never really said anything out loud.

No less than three people asked me if they could buy my bike this weekend. I was incredibly offended and very shortly told them no each time. I don't think I've ridden it in three years. I probably at least should have asked them what they would pay for it.

I wish I had a pink bike with a basket on the front. I'm 12.7% sure I would ride it at least 3 times a day.

I just learned that May 4th, 1919 is regarded as the ideological origin of many important events in modern Chinese history. Its direct cause was the unequal treaties imposed on China after the First World War. This is exactly 75 years to the day before my great grandma forced me to eat two egg rolls. I think she must have made the egg rolls to commemorate this movement. She didn’t really seem like a history buff kind of lady but that's really the only explanation I can invent that explains why a grown up would torture a child in such a way.

The End

  1. Pink spray paint costs $3-$18 a can and bicycle baskets are $14-$24. You might be able to get the basket at a garage sale or resale shop even cheaper.
