I received a notice on Tuesday that there would be some construction going on in my psychology re­search lab office yesterday. So, I didn’t go to my office yesterday just in case they were still doing construction at the time I normally go in.

When I arrived at my office today, I encountered a nice little not-so-nice surprise.

They finished all the construction, but it seems like they thought it would be acceptable to leave massive brown streaks of who knows what on the wall and on the floor.

The worst part is that I use the office at the far end of this hallway as well, so I’ll be repeatedly walking through this gritty splatter of strange substance while I’m here…

I’m so nice that I got you a heart-shaped donut today for Valentine’s day.

I’m so nice that I even ate it for you so you wouldn’t get fat.

Amazon has this interesting feature called “Recommendations.”

The website analyzes your browsing history and recent purchases, and determines what other items you might be interested in purchasing. For example, if you tend to look at a lot of books, it will conclude that you are interested in reading, and suggest some good, high-rated books for you.

I recently ran out of toothpaste.

And what better place to replenish your toothpaste supply than Amazon, right?

I went ahead and ordered some toothpaste from Amazon because I didn’t really want to go shopping to a general store in-person. After completing my order, I returned to Amazon’s home page…

And saw that my list of recommended items was completely dominated by personal hygiene items.

Apparently, Amazon decided that, after my single (and first ever) purchase of toothpaste on Amazon, I must definitely have an interest in personal hygiene. So not only did it recommend even more tooth­paste (because the two tubes that I just ordered clearly weren’t enough), but it also suggested some Q-tips to go along with my tooth­paste (because toothbrushes are clearly only for noobs).

In other news, if you decide to have a baked potato for an evening snack and stick it in the microwave, try not to forget about it overnight.

Or else you might end up having cold baked potato for breakfast the next morning when you finally notice it’s still sitting in the microwave.

We’ve all made the AM/PM mistake – we intend to set our alarm clock for 7:00 AM, but instead we accidentally set it to 7:00 PM and don’t wake up until dinner is about to be served.

I accidentally made that error yesterday when I opened up appointment slots in my calendar. I meant to create a slot for 5:30 PM, but somehow accidentally set it to 5:30 AM. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice my mistake.

Even more unfortunately, someone ACTUALLY CLAIMED THE SPOT.

Why do people do this to me

Fall Out Boy was ranked as one of my top favorite bands when I was younger.

And they still are.

I was pretty disappointed when they went on indefinite hiatus back in 2009, but for some reason, just the way that it was publicized left a small glimmer of hope inside me, a tiny hint that, after some time of unwinding, they would be back.

And now they are.

This is probably the most excited I’ve been in quite a bit. Fall Out Boy was one of those bands whose music I liked 100% – every single song on their album appealed to me in some way. Of course, there are a handful of bands where I like almost all their music, but Fall Out Boy’s albums seemed to be as close to perfection as possible.

So how do I get ready for this? I’ve been listening to all of their old music pretty much non-stop since I found out about their return, reliving the memories of when I first started listening to them, and preparing me for the epicness that is about to come.
