Slump

 I read in Lifehacker today about a 3-step process to overcome a reading slump. The first step was to start with an audiobook (while walking the dog or doing the dishes). The last step was to read a book with a deadline life before a TV or movie adaptation comes out. I do both of those things, and they don't help.

Yathzee

 Barb found a new way to win at her internet Yahtzee. She said it was a "revolution". I told you to mean "revelation".

Chip Bags

 It is funny how Barb, Laura, and Sarah close the potato chip bags differently. Barb does a triangle, and Laura rolls down the top. And Sarah makes the top into a ponytail.

Water

 

I was relaxing after doing the dishes before bed in my blue lounge chair with a glass of cold water and fell asleep and spilled cold water all over my pajamas.

Small World

 My Nigerian mentee's PhD supervisor is a professor at a university in India for half the year and at Carleton for half the year. It is a small world.

Crumbs

 

Last night I was eating some crumbs at the bottom of the potato chip bag and I dropped some crumbs down my shirt. Then I spent the next few minutes trying to get the crumbs out of my belly button.

Devil

 They say you learn something new every day. I knew the expression as "devil-may-care", not "devil-make-care."
