Which idiot slices her fingers while she’s washing a can and attempts to look hardcore about it?

The index finger didn’t and doesn’t hurt, which explains why I didn’t notice until I got blood on my face. The little finger… is another story. I totally can’t bend my fingers and hold a pen now. I demand an extension for my essays! (Essays are typed, Vickie.)

Next episode: new layout for Vickiepedia. And then maybe one of the six entries sitting in draft. *crickets*

Dear Flying Spaghetti Monster,

I pray, when you boot me up from sleep mode next morning, please grant me the following plugin / software on my humble human body.

  1. Pronunciation checker:

    Ensign. Inventory. Lasagne. Lingerie. Nonchalant. I mispronounced all those words all these years?!

    (I’d ask for a grammar checker, too, but let’s start with the basics, shall we?)

  2. Search function:

    Search: my other stripy sock

    (I promise, I’ll search for more meaningful things and answers once I find my other stripy sock.)

  3. Strong and emphasis tags:

    That's manslaughter. Manslaughter! Get it? Hahahaha.

  4. Appear offline function:

    Was that a PUN?!

  5. Maybe also a lesbiandar?! Wow, let’s not be too greedy there.

Actually, don’t worry about any of the above. Please cleanse me of “Procrastination” because it’s a total RAM hog, and I kinda have 1 more mid-semester exam and 2 essays to hand in soon.

Have mercy on me, O FSM. RAmen!

There’s such a thing called the Project Triangle in project management. Fast, good, cheap — pick any two.

Project Triangle: Fast, Good, Cheap - pick any two

In my computer and Internet life, there’s such a thing as Vickie’s Doomed Computer and Internet Life Triangle. Computer, Internet, time — lucky if you get any. Strongest theory of all, never failed even once. (read more…)

I flipped to the last page of the exam paper and smiled triumphantly. The longest question of the whole exam, the one that’s worth the most; I knew they’d ask that over all other possible topics. Surely, if I had the four main points nicely in my brain at that moment, I couldn’t possibly forget any one of them after I did all the other questions? Totally no need to jot them down first. I mean, what are the chances?

Please don’t make me hate you more, brain.

Life is like a game — an (MMO)RPG, more specifically. With all the hardcore solo levelling I’m forced to do almost on a daily basis… Indeed, not without the best weapons, armour and potions…

Weapon of choice: Insecticide (Suicidal) + Electric Fly Swatter Armour: Gloves (Confidence +5) Potions: Coffee (Energy +5) & Hot Chocolate (Energy +8)

… I think I’ve finally levelled up and am one step closer to completing the main mission “Conquering Entomophobia (Surrender Is Not an Option)“.

But of course, there are always all these annoyingly distractive side quests: “Pr0n”, “Guild Wars“, “Wash the Dishes”, “Mop the Floor”, “Do the Laundry”, “University Assignments” — some more fun than the others.

No way! I didn’t just put “University Assignments” under side quests. Priorities, Vickie! Priorities!
