Apparently, my last name is most common in Hungary and France! 's neat to learn because the only thing I really know about my mutt-like background is that some of the folks in my family came from France. Never thought Hungary would show up though.

The World Names Profiler tells you where your last name is most common and even lets you drill down to the county level for some countries.



"FPM" is frequency per million. The site currently has data for 26 countries.

hurt myself! All of my whining for the past few days has not been for naught. I fractured a little bone in my foot -- the sesamoid, named such because it looks like a sesame seed.





When I woke up last Thursday, my leg was asleep, so I tried to stand up as quickly as possible to get the blood flowing. Clearly I'm a genius. I basically stood with all of my weight on my big toe and fell down. To make matters worse, later that evening I diagnosed myself as having a dislocated toe so I was going to try to pop it back into place. This lead to much writhing around in pain.

After not being able to walk too well over the weekend, I decided to go to the ER this morning. So now I have crutches, a boot, and drugs. Wheee!

It's your birthday. Happy birthday!

yes, you! viva la música pop... a c86 compilation

sounds like
--jangly guitars
--nostalgic sweetness
--lo-fi
--boy/girl harmonies
--infectious melodies

*list plagiarized from allmusic

i thought the track listing for the first disk matched up to the original c86 tape but i was wrong. this compilation has most of the songs (and most of the bands) but they're spread out/mixed up. at any rate, there are some gems to be found. "frans hals" is my favorite song ever right now.

How did I ever get by without wikiHow?

Let's say you're on a date, but you have to vomit, or barf in other terms. It can be gross to watch and unpleasant to do! Here's how to do it politely.

Steps

1. When you have to vomit, say you have to use the restroom, and go vomit in the toilet. Then flush the toilet and wipe your mouth. If there is a water fountain nearby, you would probably want to get a drink.

2. If no restroom is available, ask to be excused. Then, leave to find a bush, tree, rock or anything big that you can hide behind.

3. If you have advance warning, remove your shirt/dress to avoid a vomit spill mark. The embarrassment of being seen without covering is less than having a "vomit vee" down your front.

4. When you are done, wipe your mouth with tissues. If you have none, an UNUSED sanitary pad would work.

Nobody
by Shel Silverstein

Nobody loves me,
Nobody cares,
Nobody picks me peaches and Pears.

Nobody offers me candy and Cokes,
Nobody listens and laughs at my jokes.

Nobody helps when I get in a fight,
Nobody does all my homework at night.

Nobody misses me,
Nobody cries,
Nobody thinks I'm a wonderful guy.

So if you ask me who's my best friend, in a whiz,
I'll stand up and tell you Nobody is.

But yesterday night I got quite a scare,
I woke up and Nobody just wasn't there.

I called out and reached out for Nobody's hand,
In the darkness where Nobody usually stands.

Then I poked through the house, in each cranny and nook,
But I found somebody each place that I looked.

I searched till I'm tired, and now with the dawn,
There's no doubt about it-
Nobody's gone.

The art school blog got me wondering: have you artsy people ever done what could be categorized as an "installation"? Do they make you do stuff like that? And do you have pictures?


I'm kind of obsessed with the idea of them right now.







Makes me want to redecorate my cube.

You all know I love me a generator. Lift Magic allows you to perform plastic surgery on yourself. Or other poor unsuspecting people.

Apparently cosmetic surgery will make me look slightly Asian...
