If all economists were laid end to end, they would not reach a conclusion. -G.B.Shaw

Out of all the senses we have, you'd think that the sense of smell would not trigger the most memories. But it has been proved time and time again to me that smells bring back the past the most. For example. I walked into the bathroom this morning and it smelled strongly of shaving cream. My mind instantly went to elementary school when we would spray our desks with shaving cream and write our vocabulary words in it over and over. It was my favorite day for vocabulary of the week, since the other days we either had to write them over and over, or color something that represented them, or write them over and over in different colors. Woo!



I was always fond of vocabulary. I definitely felt out of all my friends that I had the best vocabulary and was always the best speller. But as Word came along, and spell check was heavily used, my precious skills fell by the wayside. :P



Softsoap reminds me of kindergarten- in the days of the clear bottles with the pictures of dolphins or lions in the background. And sometimes I catch a whiff of something that smells much like the hospital, a smell I despise since I was kept there for (what felt like) most of my spring semester of my kindergarten year.



I have also noticed that if you are thinking about a steaming cup of java at the time, skunks smell like coffee. So the next question you ask is, So why do you drink it? Well I personally find the smell of coffee very comforting. A friendly hug on a cloudy day, a roaring fire in January, or a refreshing breeze on a summer's day. sigh :)



Can I take a moment and just reiterate how much I love Harry Potter? While this sounds like a contradiction from the last post, I mean the books. I would so much rather be reading the seventh one right now than anything else. That or looking for stuff for Vienna. I'm not sure I'm ready for it to come, because as soon as it comes, it'll be over. And I'm really enjoying the anticipation right now.



I think I should start a twitter roll, since everything of interest I find, I find there. So here goes...



-Me and Rob actually found this on IMDB last night, but Meg Cabot posted it too. (If you love Will Arnett, Jimmy Fallon, or Judy Blume, you'll enjoy this.)



-Greg Grunberg posted a vid of fun you can have with an air machine.



-Apparently they haven't kept Crabbe very busy, since he finds time to grow pot.



-And I'm not sure why the world is so focused on what Obama wears... but don't we have more important things to worry about?



-Time has a cool slideshow of the eclipse that happened in Asia yesterday. I'm personally fond of number 13. (turn around bright eyes!!)



-Speaking of Total Eclipses, I may have already shown this vid, but I can't get enough of it. :D I really wish they would do more recent videos.



-Umm and I can't believe that colleges are really trying out Quidditch teams...



-Oh and Loveless Cafe here in good ol' Nashville, TN created something called Piggy Popcorn. If you know me at all, you know I love me some bacon, but this is going WAY too far.



-I hope if I was ever in a crash like this, there would be as many Good Samaritans ready to help me out.
