Million vs. Trillion
davereed:
My last post reminded me of something my dad taught me:
To get an idea how much bigger one trillion is than one million, ponder this: A million seconds is 12 days; a trillion seconds is 32,000 years.
Now get this: It is estimated that in the Universe there are a trillion stars for every human being on planet Earth.
A baby platypus is called a 'puggle'.
One of the many beauties of Christmas
Having family/ friends who, though they may share pea pods with my parents on a weekly basis, I see only a few times each year, so they don’t know me well enough to buy me an actual Christmas present. Ergo: gift vouchers! Now, it may be said that gift vouchers are impersonal, but in my opinion giving the gift of shopping is never impersonal.

Balderdash!
I just wanted to say ‘balderdash’. Such a brilliant word. I really need to start finding ways of incorporating it into my daily vocabulary.
Have you met my friends, Chloramphenicol and...
Every time I put in my eye drops I can’t help but think they would make awesome names for my fists. Now I just need to get into a fight…
Bored and sad and lonely isn't a good combination...
Silly eye still hasn’t recovered from the surgery I had a couple days ago and so has forced me to waste away my youth on my bed, watching a high-pitched Hilary Duff movie that seems to be the most tolerable thing on tv at the moment, despite having been invited to multiple and far more enjoyable outings.
Alright, enough moaning. I am going to force myself to be more cheery, whether I like...
‘Sort of’ is such a harmless thing to say. Sort of. It’s just a filler. Sort of...

This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
