Just in case Reid doesn’t miss California enough, here are a few pics I snapped recently of Googley desserts:

Meanwhile, Reid’s eating paan. Hopefully he won’t make it a habit.
I first heard this several months ago but never got around to blogging it. I was reminded of this story today when Koklynn and Charlene were discussing the fate of my hair.
Nelson’s sister told him that she would tell him a secret, but only if he let her paint his nails. Nelson agreed, and she painted his fingernails purple. After his nails were painted, she followed through with her end of the bargain and told him her secret: She didn’t have any nail polish remover.
Maybe I should create a “Nelson” category for my blog.
Anyone else ever have this iPhone bug happen to them? It’s happened to me before. It looks like one of those puzzles with sliding tiles.
The reason I took the picture was I thought this label was funny when I saw it in the store. It says “24 hour protection,” but that’s if you use it twice a day—each use lasts 12 hours. Is there any product that couldn’t be labeled as lasting “24 hours” under this system?
Update: Looks like I’m not the first to notice.
Lots of purple in this picture.
Oh boy, how do I explain this one? I told Mike this story at lunch* today and he advised me not to repeat it. However, I’m waiting for Beah’s clothes to finish in the washer so I have nothing else to do.
Sometimes I think of ideas, including jokes, while I’m still waking up. It’s at these times that I often come up with a creative solution to a problem at work or a great idea for a blog entry. But sometimes the idea is just silly.
This morning, for some reason I was thinking about the similarity of the words gaffe and giraffe. I thought it would be hilarious if I would make some incredible mistake, nay, a series of mistakes, involving giraffes. When the media covers it (in my half-conscious/half-dreaming state I must have thought I was famous), the headline could read: “Wysz’s biggest giraffe yet.” Get it?
I’m still giggling tonight just thinking about it.
*Lunch was awesome, by the way. Potstickers, bacon fried rice, some noodles, watermelon, and mini cinnamon cupcakes, which Mike described as “festive.” They did remind me of the holidays.

Because I haven’t seen any requests for advice in a while, this is a reminder that I’m still here for you.
Street View imagery is now available for Baltimore. I haven’t been back since graduation, so I took the chance to look back at a few familiar sights from my days at JHU.

I prefer Pepsi, but at restaurants, I order Coke. I do this because it’s more likely that the restaurant serves Coke and not Pepsi. So instead of setting myself up for disappointment the majority of the time, I instead ask in a way that will either get me what I ordered (satisfactory), or a pleasant surprise.
Here’s how it goes down when they serve Pepsi:
Me: I’ll have a Coke.
Server: I’m sorry, is Pepsi okay?
Me: Even better.
See, I’m happy, and so is the server, who went from feeling sorry to relieved to having a happy customer.
