Just a quick plug for Brynn Shepherd's redesign of her website, Flying Paramecia, which was featured on no less than five CSS and design galleries:
It's cool and, dare I say it, nifty. Go check it out.

Recipe: Quick Salad
A quick salad that I came up with the other day. Note: I don't use measurements like teaspoons and tablespoons, etc., because I don't know how.
1. Chop two leaves of romaine lettuce into chunks about an inch wide, put in a bowl.
2. Dice a half tomato and a half pear, arrange over lettuce.
3. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Top with red wine vinaigrette dressing.
This works really well if you can find those fresh, crispy pears, but normal pears work fine as well. The salad should end up kind of sweet.

I'm Quite Serious
I absolutely refuse to get into a theological discussion with anyone (outside of my family, best friends, and significant other) unless that person gives me $20 to keep until I've decided that they've said something new and/or enlightening, at which point I will return it to them.

A Healthy Sense of Self-Crappiness
When I wake up every morning, and regard my scrawny, gangly body and my rather unremarkable (some would say repulsive) features, I typically content myself with the knowledge I've devoted myself, more or less, to developing and sharpening my mind.
And then people like Natalie Portman come along.
Natalie Portman's psychology major from Harvard completely obliviates what small sense of self-worth I have. There are, of course, many Harvard psychology graduates, but none with such gorgeous looks and poise - indeed, few other actresses look as good with a shaven head, proving it's not all makeup.
She speaks or has studied five languages - five! She's co-authored two research papers that were published in scientific journals. She's a vegetarian (okay, that one probably only interests me). And she portrayed herself as an angry gansta rapper on SNL. Wikipedia's term, not mine.
That's when I get a sudden surge of "wait, what have I done with my life again?".
