Ballistic Jaw Propulsion of Trap-Jaw Ants →
Saw this as part of IFC’s Short Attention Span Cinema. To capture the 145mph mandibles of the trap-jaw ant, the filmmakers shot 100,000 frames per second. — courtneyc An insta-fave!

I went to Mass with the family on Christmas Eve. It was the first time in a long time I had gone to church. It made me remember all the things I like (and dislike) about Mass. These are the things I like about Catholic church: Monotone prayer recitation - hilarious when you actually pay attention to what we’re saying, “…we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your...

Bible-bashing dying out in Kansas →
Says the BBC’s Washington correspondent. — link found on stever-’s tumblr “In the airport cafe they have introduced nutritional advice next to their meals: the fresh strawberries are described as containing no trans-fats - which is a relief, I suppose - but only in Kansas could it be a surprise.” I know I’m pretty stupid because I’m from Kansas, but at least I...
experiment
I currently weigh 144 pounds and am 5’8” tall. I think that’s a pretty healthy, normal body weight. I am going to loose 10 pounds and see what that does to my features. I will probably gain the weight back after my experiment, but I just want to see where the weight comes off. Hopefully not my butt.
HAHA!
I sent a text post from my phone last night, but something happened and part of my words never made it to tumblr. My post was supposed to say, “In all seriousness, watching middle-aged couples dancing is my favorite type of people watching. Not because it’ funny, but because it’s fun.” (it’s fun was missing) Simon reblogged my error, adding, “By monday, posting...

“For life, my friend, is no paragraph. And death, I think, is no parenthesis.”
– My sister, Katie, on the phone quoting e.e. cummings. Katie and I have a sort of game that is usually done in movies where English majors and lit types try to out-quote each other. Our game is similar, but we mainly stick to poetry and sometimes Shakespeare. And I take it back that we’re...
“We’re talking about frigid temperatures paired with cone chilling winds that...”
– From Mischa’s post about Chicago winters. I think she meant bone chilling winds, but cone chilling winds works, too! I love typos that end up working either way. I took cones to mean boobs, by the way.

I don’t like this, and will be changing the licensing on my flickr photos.
“Do you have our friend Jake Lodwick’s email? I have a very exciting...”

on the phone
Katie: "Ass dat jus' don't quit." I love that.
Andrea: You should reblog my thing.
Katie: Why
Andrea: Because it's awesome.
Katie: What's awesome, your post? Should I just say, "Hey, I'm reblogging this because it's awesome.
Andrea: Because I'm awesome.
Katie: OK, are you coming home for dinner? We're eating roast.
Andrea: Yeah, see you after 5

To me, the word admonish sounds like a synonym for praise.
Brian Brown is in NYC
brian brown: What's Jakob Lodwick's number?
me: You two going to hang out?
brian brown: I'm going to kiss him.
me: HAHA! Better spank him, too.
Watch This video is from a year ago. I explain how to win at Scrabble. Heather, Langston, Carl, and I played Scrabble last night. Carl won and Heather got last. She sux0rz even though she’s an English major. I lost because I was not allowed to cheat.
weather scientist sounds better than meteorologist
The weather scientists say we’re going to have an ice storm this afternoon. The last time Wichita, KS had an ice storm, most of the city was without power for more than three days. I work in the corp comm dept at the electric company. It’s like an episode of West Wing here today. I’m the female version of Josh Lyman and my coworker, Erin, is C.J.
