Edwards is dropping out. →
I am disappointed that he didn’t have as successful a run as I had hoped. However, I don’t feel that I wasted time supporting him.
The World's Largest Swimming Pool →
I am not a huge fan of the structures, but that pool is ridiculous. “The pool uses a computer controlled suction and filtration system to keep fresh seawater in permanent circulation, drawing it in from the ocean at one end and pumping it out at the other… It is more than 1,000 yards long, covers 20 acres, has a 115ft deep end and holds 66 million gallons of water.”

Amanda: I wish you had Super OCD, so that you would keep the kitchen clean.
Kelly: I don't have the clean kind of OCD.

you down with MHC?
dihard: Just read this interesting article in Time Magazine about how romance is linked to smell. We respond to olfactory cues and in fact, smell helps us narrow our choices of potential partners. MHC (the major histocompatibility complex), a set of genes that controls the immune system and influences tissue rejection is especially critical. You jive best with a partner whose MHC is sufficiently...
Me: Do want me to put down beef or chicken? (from the freezer)
My Sister: Moooooo
“Screw you flathead.”

So... my iPhone is unique... →
This is hilarious because Star basically told me the same thing yesterday to try to make me feel better about the fact that my iPhone had been bitten by Penny.
Dick vs Asshole
Star: Isn't it more of a dick thing to do rather than an asshole thing to do?
Kelly: I think its an asshole move.
Star: I dont know, assholes are mean, but not intentionally, a dick means it.
Kelly: I disagree, assholes know when they are being assholes.
Star: Whats the difference between an asshole and a dick? There is some kind of difference, right? (turns to an unassuming Bunny)
Bunny (a bit taken back): uhhh, they're pretty much the same thing.

Top 10 Urbanism Blogs →
It is the beginning of 2008 and thus, time to review a few of our favorite sites as featured in our sidebars. Our first review centers around Urbanism blogs. The blogs are ranked in the order in which our editor finds them to be most relevant to the topic, by their visual appeal, and finally by the frequency in which they are updated. Of course this is a highly subjective selection and we welcome...
Dear Client X
Don’t sign a contract that says your roof is going to be removed, then four months later tell me you didn’t realize how much work was going to need to be done and that you didn’t know the roof was coming off. Don’t tell me you need to start putting piles down in January, but still haven’t decided if you want that wall located there.
“I think I have a little poop baby.”

Kelly: Can you put this in the drawer? (hands over iPhone cord)
Amanda: I will eat it. (proceeds to eat iPhone cord)
Crystal Island →
This new project of Norman Foster’s was approved for planning in Moscow. It is quite the ambitious one, no surprise there; housing 30,000 residents, museums, schools, theaters, etc. All under one giant glass crystal-like roof. Oh and they plan on making it sustainable as well. “Dynamic enclosure panels slotted into the structural framing allow daylight to penetrate deep into the...
It actually states the weather as ”Dreary”. I didn’t even know that this word was still in circulation.
In Miami we don’t have heaters, evident in the fact that I can see clouds of my warm breath spread out before me, inside the apartment.
It’s 50 degrees outside. Barely two days ago I was wearing a bathing suit and lounging on the beach. I’m cold.
