so i’m sitting at my desk in my office, in front of my computer with my book (discovery and decision: exploring the metaphysics and epistemology of scientific classification, by rebecca bryant), and i’m trying to finish my reading for class at 1:30. i just checked my email so i still had my hand on the mouse when i went back to reading the book. i got to the end of the page and instead of turning the page, I TRIED TO SCROLL DOWN.
maybe i need to spend less time at the computer.

hello fellow seattlite female. i found your blog via your metafilter profile (they call me salad spork over there) – I noticed we share a zip code – and i’ve been reading sporadically for a few weeks… but random question, were you at free scoop night at the u-village ben and jerry’s last night, like maybe 7:30ish? if you were, i saw you. if you weren’t, then either there’s someone that looks a lot like you running around out there, or i’m insane. either way works for me. ;)
I would totally bet that was lauren, since free scoop day at the University of Oregon, oh so long ago, was always tradition!
lauren, your book-scrolling-attempt is pretty funny. I *often* (so often, it’s scary) want to do a ctrl-f search in books for words, rather than searching by eye.
it wasn’t me, actually. and looking at her pictures i’m glad i didn’t try to go – u-village drives me crazy at the best of times; i might not have survived standing in line …
i don’t know where any other ben&jerry’ses are. :(
but i have some ice cream at home in the freezer!
I’d say it’s time to start reading eBooks so that your scrolling down will have the expected effect. The answer is MORE computers not less! =)

excellent choice of music, i must say.
The other day I casually tossed my cell phone on my desk. In my so-close-to-graduation haze, I then tried to use my cell phone as a mouse.
That’s one of my favorite Counting Crows songs!
Also, the bottle for Liquid Librarian almost looks like Crown Royal!
OMGWTF Liquid Librarian!
