Thursday Thoughts

Thoughts lately:

1) There's a basic misunderstanding about libraries and bookstores. We're not arranged the same way. So, for example, when a kid walks in and asks me where they mystery section is, I kind of want to stab myself in the face.

2) Smart people do really stupid things sometimes. I was cooking and freezing pumpkins this weekend and realized after putting the pumpkin in the Pyrex and the Pyrex in the oven that I hadn't added the water in the pan. I like to do things the right way, so I added the water. Yeah. Even as I heard the shattering that preceded the POP of the pan exploding (inside the oven and right in front of my face, btw) I thought to myself; "Huh, what I just did was really stupid. I even understand the science of why this is about to-" KA-BLAM!

3) If you accidentally search for "pumpkings" instead of "pumpkins" it will really skew your Google results.
