Just Wrote An Email In Japanese
Feel like my head is going to explode. Hopefully I got the grammar mostly right. You’d think that spending nine hours a day five days a week with people speaking mostly Japanese would make it a breeze, but no. Just, no.
Hoping the person I emailed is happy about it and emails me back, preferably not in Japanese, so that we can get together and in my bad Japanese and her bad English, talk about philosophy and literature and current events like snobby over-educated intellectuals.
Just what we needed: font angst.
It doesn’t even matter what you think. You know why, jagoff? Cause I’m famous. I am on every major operating system since Microsoft fucking Bob. I’m in your signs. I’m in your browsers. I’m in your instant messengers. I’m not just a font. I am a force of motherfucking nature and I will not rest until every uptight armchair typographer cock-hat like you is surrounded by my lovable, comic-book inspired, sans-serif badassery.
Enough of this bullshit. I’m gonna go get hammered with Papyrus.“I’m Comic Sans, Asshole” by Mike Lacher
Sorry, Comic Sans, my one true love is Times New Roman. First, best, and always, although occasionally I have a brief flirtation with Book Antiqua, and Papyrus (and Edwardian Script) are my go-to fonts for any sort of work that needs a bit of arm candy…

No, people. What you have put together is a list of the closest things the world has to Evil Genius Supervillains.
Mmm. These, I like. A lot.

![skaterboytae:
When a honeybee dies it releases a death pheromone, a characteristic odor that signals the survivors to remove it from the hive. This might seem a supreme final act of social responsibility. The corpse is promptly pushed and tugged out of the hive. The death pheromone is oleic acid [a fairly complex molecule, CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH, where = stands for a double chemical bond].
What happens if a live bee is dabbed with a drop of oleic acid?
Then, no matter how strapping and vigorous it might be, it is carried “kicking and screaming” out of the hive. Even the Queen bee, if she’s painted with invisible amounts of oleic acid, will be subjected to this indignity.
Do the bees understand the danger of corpses decomposing in the hive? Are they aware of the connection between death and oleic acid? Do they have any idea what death is? Do they think to check the oleic acid signal against other information, such as healty spontaneous movement? The answer to all these questions is, almost certainly, No. In the life of the hive there’s no way that a bee can give off detectable whiff of oleic acid other than by dying. Elaborate contemplative machinery is unnecessary. Their perceptions are adequate for their needs.

so… they ostracized bees. they removed them from their hives, whereupon they probably DIED. *sadface*](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4llqojM141qgpn9lo1_1280.jpg)

If you don’t follow football, many of the people in this fascinating video are members of the Dutch National Team.
This is probably a promo for the upcoming Euro Cup.

Treated myself to ice cream to recover.

…it’s really easy to get confused about who is posting. There are no handy little bubbles! And then you get to the bit about the Vampire Diaries and realize it is not, actually, Diane Duane who has a poker celebrity little brother and two new books coming out later this year.
I am not disappointed! But I am very amused.
I’m 23 and I get it. Horrible thing!Reblog if you’re old enough to get this
