Oh, The Things We Consume
Thanks to the World Of Mysteries (an awesome blog I check out to pass the time while work is slow in the office), I have now been enlightened on the amount of salt and sugar found in some delicious foods. Read “30 Terrible Salty Meals” and “Harmful Drinks in America” to see what I mean. It gives the sweetest and saltiest foods in several categories & their equivalent foods that we would probably never consume in gross amounts. Luckily, they also give healthier equivalents. Hint: you might not be happy afterward. I wasn’t when I found out about Starbucks White Hot Chocolate or Auntie Anne’s pretzels :(
Gilt Groupe →
gilt.com
This web site should be called “Guilt” instead. It’s officially the gas that fuels my shopping addiction. SUCH GOOD DEALS! If you love shopping as much as me (& that’s quite a bit), I think you should join and at least give the deals a look over. I think you need to be referred to join, so feel free to use my link sign up & look around. There’s new deals every day and they’ve got awesome designer brands at steep discounts aka AWESOME.
Chinglish
Gotta love the mix of Chinese and English to form Chinglish. Just a sample of this awesome mixture found in Asia. Apparently it’s a big problem there, and Shanghai feels the need to “clean it up” according to this New York Times article. Click on the picture for more of the examples included in the slideshow or on the link to read the article. It’s actually quite interesting to see how they’re attempting to resolve the problem and where they think the roots lie.
A Lament for the Class of 2010 →

I appreciate articles like this for keeping it real and telling it how it is, but they also scare the shit out of me when I have to think about life after graduation. I can only hope that things in the worldwide economy (esp. in the U.S.) will get better in the next 2 years.

I refuse to believe this is true. Hello Kitty will always be a personal fave. She can never be replaced, not even by the gazillionth generation of Pokemon.
6 Episodes Down
& Only a little over a week to go until the series finale of Lost. I finally found time to catch up on all the episodes I’ve been missed over the last 2 months. It feels good to be caught up. Hurrah for Lost marathons! Boo for the show’s quickly approaching end. Admittedly, I’m still pretty confused (although, thankfully, not as much as I used to be)
SUMMAH
It finally started at 10AM this morning after my last final.
It’s about goddamn time.
Celebrated with Mexican food & margaritas… before noon.
Lapsed into a coma after lunch b/c I got up at 6:30AM this morning.
Ricket Gervais show tonight!
Packing & major chillage tonight.
Work, more packing & moving out tomorrow.
Oh, this is the good life.
Oh hey, Junior year! Oh hey, sun! Oh hey, fun!

Happy Mother's Day
So many applicable secrets on PostSecret this weekend in celebration of Mother’s Day. This is only one of the few that I also share. I know one day I will reach that point, so maybe I should learn my lesson now.
