Let's get this right out there: It rained today. All day. It was that sort of day. I went to class, I came back and I...napped.
The rest of my day was...
My life. This is what my life will look like for the next few months.
...homework.
So, how about some randomness, then?
You know what's weird? Chinese toilet paper is three-ply. This is mostly weird because everything else is so...let's say cost conscious. Seriously they will hand you boiling water in the THINNEST plastic cup you've ever touched. It's micrometers between you and scalding. But, the toilet paper is thick. First of all, it's not soft, at all. Do you remember primary school and those long rolls of butcher paper teachers had in order to distract you with drawing time? It's like that, maybe slightly less thick. But its three-sheets of that. Also, it isn't perforated, so mostly it looks like our bathroom has a roll of jagged streamers sitting on the counter.

...Cthulu wearing a beret. This may have something to do with the fact that I'm currently reading "At the Mountains of Madness" by H.P. Lovecraft. Maybe. I'm enjoying the novella: Lovecraft manages to say so much while saying so little about saying so much. He describes everything in such detail, while simultaneously revealing nothing. It's like
When I was searching for a picture of Cthulu, I ran across this:
Family Cthulu. Makes as much sense as the regular strip.
Yep, I think that about sums it up.
Incidentally, a search for "beret" turned up photos of...berets. (*cough*)
Hayden
that is quite a jaunty beret on cthulu.
