Do you...

keep your cereal atop your refrigerator?



I didn't realize this was common practice until I noticed David's family kept their cereal on top of their fridge too. When I lived at home in Cerritos, we always had a bunch of cereal on top of the fridge. Always my favorites... Cookie Crisp, Cocoa Puffs, Crispix, Frosted Flakes, etc. In my old condo, we had one of those built-in refrigerators so we weren't able to put cereal above it. Instead, cereal was hidden in one of the cabinets. Maybe that's why the cereal would sit in there for months at a time uneaten... out of sight, out of mind. Also it could be because I started buying healthier cereal (like honey bunches of oats) which were still good but not as enticing as a bowl of cocoa pebbles.

Some advice.

Never trust anyone who is too insistent on your trusting them.

Is it hot or cold in hell?

credit to gerry for the laugh... which BTW was much needed after today's disappointing laker's game.

Is Hell Hot.. or Cold?
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term.

The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.

Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell,then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

Yesss...

I finally got my garage remote signal thingie saved on to my remote opener buttons thingamabob on my car. Yessssss...

I've been trying since September 1! Since the day I got the remote... Benzes are notorious for having super retarded remote buttons that take forever to program. If you call their roadside assistance, one of the first teleprompt choices is if you are having trouble with your remote button opener pusher thing. So anyways, I have 3 buttons on my rearview mirror. My old apartment has two separate garage door buttons to go in and out so I saved those to #2 & #3 because I was having problems with #1. Even after repeatedly resetting all the buttons, nothing would save to #1. It was really retarded because it totally threw me off- on the Denali the garage signals were saved to #1 & #2 so it was hard to keep track which one was which because I switched cars so often. So when I moved I was thinking it would be super awesome if I could save my new garage signal to #1 but I'd kind of try half-heartedly because I knew #1 was having problems. So yesterday just for fun I tried it (with feeling too- I closed my eyes and concentrated) and it WORKED!

I was so happy I squealed out loud.

I realize that most of you probably don't care about the mechanics of my garage remote but if you know me at all, then you'd know what a big deal this was for me. I've been trying for 3 months. Seriously.

I get pretty giddy when I get home and I press #1 and it works.

New Pinkberry Mix

I was a daredevil yesterday. I tried out cocoa pebbles on my Pinkberry. So I had a medium green with cocoa pebbles and granola. Wow.

You know what I realized with Pinkberry? It's one of the rare foods that I thoroughly enjoy eating until the very last bite. Since the Pinkberry on Sawtelle opened up last week, I've gotten in the habit of stopping by on my way home from the gym everyday. I eat it in the car on the way home (since I'm usually stuck in Olympic traffic anyway) and I have to say I have gotten quite good at driving with my knees.

Well, yesterday I was eating my new concoction in the car on the way to Centinela Pet Feed on Pico. I arrived in the parking lot with more than half of my Pinkberry left. I didn't want to bring it with me while I bought dog food but I didn't want to leave it melting in the car either. (Which it probably wouldn't since it was like 54 degrees outside) So I decided to sit in the car and finish it real quick before heading in. As I was enjoying each bite, I subconsciously reached out my hand and turned down the volume knob. Then I realized... why did I turn the music down? Was I enjoying my Pinkberry THAT much that I needed to turn down the music to concentrate on tasting?

Yes, I take my Pinkberry very seriously.
