I bet somebody up above gets a huge laugh out of human idiocy. I'm not sure if girls do this, but when guys get really pissed, we tend to lash out (physically). This usually leads to punched walls, kicked beds, or broken electronics. It's amusing, because this destructive rage only hurts ourselves ... it's like our first instinct when getting frustrated is to physically beat up on ourselves.

I found myself hurling a pen against the dining room wall this past Sunday (frustration). I'm not sure what I expected to happen (I guess I just wanted it to bounce off), but I sure didn't expect the new Uniball Vision pen to explode. All over the wall.

The next two hours were spent cursing my idiocy while furiously trying to clean the ink off the dining room wallpaper, the dining room wall (the dining room is half wallpapered, half just painted with some wood designs), and the hardwood floor.

For the Martha Stewart Home Living fans: if this ever happens to you, don't use a paper towel up... that'll just smear the ink. Use a sponge (it'll soak up the ink before it dries).

The wallpaper and floor are OK now, but the wall (which I saved for last, cause I figured I could always paint over the ink) is still severely smudged.

At least I got something to do this weekend.

Tony's recent garden-blog post is hilarious. If any of you are farming experts, do you think you could tell me what he's growing based on his pictures? He refuses to tell me (he'll tell me in three weeks), and I'm just a tad impatient. Help me defeat Tony!
