So, here's the deal.

I miss blogging. A lot.

There were a few reasons that I stopped, so we should probably explore those before we go any further.

- I moved and didn't want to close with "Much love from Queens."
Solution: We'll let that one go.

- Facebook took over for a while and I caved to Twitter.
Solution: Smartphone! Now that I can FB and Tweet everywhere, it frees up computer time.

- School started eating up large chunks of time.
Solution: I've learned time-management skills. It's weird. I study now too!

- My HTML skills disappeared. Like, completely.
Solution: Pre-made template. We're going minimalistic to take away all that pressure. Besides, who still reads blogs? And, if anyone does still read this, it'll be in a Reader, right? Right.

- I realized I have absolutely poor grammar.
Solution: Well, there isn't really a solution for this one. You'll just have to deal with it.

Now that those issues are resolved, maybe I can start up again? Let's see what happens! Next step, figuring out if I can post from my phone.

For the record, as of this very moment, Google says:

"Your search - Frappichinager - did not match any documents."

That's about to change. As of 9:45am this morning, this was my Facebook status:

"'Frappichinager' (frap-a-chee-nay-ger) Noun. An individual, aged 6-18, who consumes a milkshake that may or may not be flavored with coffee. Frappichinagers travel in schools, similar to fish. They may be identified by their concurrent use of iPods and cell phones, obnoxiously loud indoor voices, complete unawareness of their surroundings, and their inability to move the hell out of my way."

That's right. I invented a word. I bequeath it to you, the internets, as my gift. Use it as you will.

I've cut myself off Facebook and Gchat for a while because my assistant is out all week (because of which, I'm buried at work) and I have a final next week, so I really should spend whatever free time I have studying/working. But, I can't quit the internet entirely. (Seriously, I can't. I think I have a problem.) So consider my return to this blog, however temporary, as my methadone.

With that said, let's UPDATE!

- As I mentioned before, my assistant is out. That means I get to come in early, work crazy hard, skip lunch, and leave late. Today being a Tuesday, I get the bonus of going to class immediately afterwards. Awesome.

- An old woman got hit by a truck down the block from my office. It took her legs right off. I stopped bitching about my day after that.

- This site about Facebook privacy is worth checking out. Yay for privacy!

- I haven't watched this Ghostbusters video yet, but I love the idea.

- I love the irony in this story. I just hope it effects "Super Tuesday."

- I also love this article from the Onion. Specifically this quote: "No, they ran straight for the snack machines, and winded though they were, those chubsters polished off a dozen Ho-Ho's in no time flat, stuffing their mouths faster than kids I've met in Haitian refugee camps."

- This Lego movie about microbiology made me giggle. Yay science!

That's it for today. Maybe more tomorrow? If I really do get back into this, I should probably update the template a little. It's kinda outdated. By kinda, I mean a whole lot.

Much love from ~~Brooklyn~~ Astoria!

P.S. - We caught up on Glee last night. I dig the show, but I'd like to give a short message to the producers.

Dear Glee producers,

I have four words for you: "Creed, Nickelback, and Kid Rock."

Love, Todd.

I haven't posted recently, nor do I really plan on posting anything in the near future, but tonight is special.

Tonight's the last night that I get to say this:

Much love from Brooklyn!

The next post, whenever it comes, will be from Queens.

Senator Montgomery sent me this video in response to my recent email regarding the New York State Senate.

Updated UPDATE!

I just sent this email to a few New York State Senators who have been misbehaving recently. I sent a personalized version to my Senator.

"Senator,

The current behavior of the senate is unacceptable. You may not be the Senator for my district, but your behavior still affects me as a New York State resident. Therefore, I charge you with resolving this crisis immediately. Failure to do so will result in my actively and financially supporting your opponent in the next election cycle.

This email may not carry a lot of weight with your office, but I assure you, my campaign contributions against you can."

Now it's your turn. Tell those morons to get back to work here.

Much love from Brooklyn!

So apparently someone at the New York State Senate has this automatic blog search. At 10:36, *BNR* got a visitor from The New York State Senate in Wyandanch.

Score!

Yesterday, I posted that picture my brother sent me of my future child.

After I hit "publish", the Blogger confirmation page popped up. On the right side, there was a box of Google ads. I have limited knowledge of how Google ads work, so I checked Wikipedia. It told me that "Google matches advertisements to the content of a website."

Let's see what Google thinks of my blog!

(These are the exact ads. I copy and pasted them directly as they appeared.)

"Older Man Sex
Free to Join. 1000's of pictures of Handsome Single Older Men
www.BabyBoomerPeopleMeet.com

Wife Cheating? Free Trial

So yeah, apparently The Wife is cheating on me, I can't make long love, I long for love with Handsome Single Older Men, and I like little girl jeans.

Awesome.

Much love from Brooklyn!

I got this text message from Frost:

"Dude, I just saw this girl and she totally looked like she could be yours and The Wife's daughter. I got a picture too"

Then I got this picture:

Ha!

Texts with my brother:

Frost: 11 days... No post... are you dead or just out of ideas?

Me: Totally out of ideas. Work and school are killing my creativity.

Frost: Don't worry about it. You were never very creative to begin with.

Frost went rock climbing last weekend.

He didn't wear a harness.

He didn't wear climbing shoes.

...and he climbed it twice.

This is the second ascent

His friend gave up.

He said he got stuck. Something about "not having anything to grab onto" and being ridiculously scared.

But he made it!

Man... I really miss playing outside with my brothers.

Much love from Brooklyn!

Ken's Salad Dressing was on sale at our grocery store.

It's normally $2.79 a bottle. It was on sale for $0.79 a bottle.

Yeah, we bought eight bottles. We're awesome like that.

Dear Starbucks,

I love you. A lot. Seriously.

xoxo, -T-

-----------------------------

The preceding love letter was written because of this:

I received this coupon in the mail today just for belonging to their "Gold Card" membership. In addition, they've recently sent me coupons for a free iced coffee, free Tazo tea thingys, and a free birthday drink. Add those to the free drink I got with the membership and the 10% discount on everything in the store (which I use very often) and that Gold Card has paid itself off many times over.

Thanks again Starbucks. If you were a person, I'd hug you.

Much love from Brooklyn!

There was a street fair in Brooklyn a couple weeks ago.

I took a few cell phone pictures.

See, I told you there was a street fair. I ate a lot. Like, grilled corn on the cob, a massive Italian sausage sandwich, some pad thai, lemonade, and a couple other things. I love fair food.

When we saw this guy, I was positive we were going to have a Guinea Pig free day.

But I was wrong! (and I was so startled!)

Much love from Brooklyn!

This is what I do all day. I know you're impressed.

What I really have to remember for my anatomy finals:

- The corpus callosum and the corpus cavernosa are not the same thing. They're not even close.

Here's why:

Compared with...

This totally reminds me of the time in 9th grade Biology class when I confused the fallopian tubes with the Eustachian tubes. We were studying the ear at the time. I must have been thinking about something else.
