Cake eaters

Yesterday I witnessed the most hilarious form of "I refuse to take the last piece" syndrome.

A building-wide email went out from a nice individual who brought in a whole chocolate cake from some function over the weekend. Of course, the early birds got first dibs. Personally, i don't really go for chocolate early in the morning.

Anyway, walked passed it at lunch and noticed there was one piece left. Then when I went to return my plate, I saw there was 1/2 a piece left. Then later in the day, 1/4, 1/8, and a I shit you not, 1/16th. Now honestly, who thinks leaving a slice of cake no thicker than a piece of paper is doing any a service?

I wish I had my camera, because it was pretty hilarious.

The Layout Challenge

I looked at a condo the other day. Wonderful building, great location... questionable unit. Not in terms of size or quality, but in terms of layout. This is the best I could do...

I'm wavering on putting a bid down dependent on figuring out a layout I really love. So I'm issuing a challenge. If you can re-layout this in a way that I love it, I will buy you dinner. You can edit the layout by going here.

Note that the little wall seperating the current living area from the dining area can be demolished.

I hope you have better luck than I did!

Took me long enough

It's amazing how time just seems to run away.

I was meaning to do this like, months ago. Aren't they beautiful?


The 2nd one (red) took about half as much time as my first one. Hooray for procedure optimization! Thanks Yuk for the art, the fact that they match looks incredible!

Working on something new...

The wheels are already turning...

Something's different from before...

Can you figure out what it is? = D

The Crafter

In keeping with this rather introspective summer, I took the Keirsey Bates personality test (one of the longer and more "respected" *koff* personality tests in existence). My result was this:

ISTP- The Crafter

You scored 36% I to E, 58% N to S, 62% F to T, and 63% J to P!

You do not approach strangers readily, but you have no problem leading. You are so sure of yourself, others are hesitant not to listen. Your type is known as the crafter, which belongs to the larger group of experiencers. You are likely a master of tools, including vehicles, musical instruments, and weapons. Most pilots are of this personality type. You are always on the go, you live for the here and now to follow your whims, and you share your type with 10% of the population. You don't feel very parental, but you feel your fraternal bonds very deeply.

As a romantic partner, you are calm and handy to have around when something goes wrong. You are very responsive to immediate and obvious needs in your partner, but are less comfortable with emotional ones. You are fun, playful, and adventurous. However, at your heart, you are something of a loner and will resist exposing your private thoughts. You want to be appreciated for your ability to size up a problem and solve it quickly. You feel most appreciated when you are left to do your own thing spontaneously.

This seems surprisingly accurate, and even though you can say that about a lot of these generality tests (or zodiacs, etc), this one actually seems adequetly detailed as well.

If you're interested in trying it, you can find a re-creation of the test here.

I feel stupid

...for repeatedly making the same mistakes I've made since I was 17. -_-

You'd figure after so much education, I'd have learned, but I guess there's some things they don't teach you in school.

That is all.
