ZOMBIES ATTACK LAS VEGAS!!
I met this girl yesterday and 5 minutes of our 15 minute conversation was consumed by zombies. Meaning we talked about zombies; they didn't eat us.
So I entered her in my phone as "Rebecca Zombie." Part of me hopes that she and I don't talk for like 10 years, I totally forget about her and our conversation, and then she calls when I'm 37 and my phone says REBECCA ZOMBIE and I have no idea what to make of it.

Why is it mirrored? I can't really be impressed by your accomplishments at this point.

Good question. Taken with webcam, can't figure out how to flip. But even if we can't be impressed by the specifics, we can be impressed that they were all completed, no matter how banal (and some were).

If you've got MS Paint, you can open the image in Paint and flip it, then save and upload.

I've got two fake tanning products on right now, so I can't tell which one is stinging my left eye. Poor planning, Ricky. Poor planning.

Human Lie Detector: Basically People Suck At It
People make awful lie detectors. We all think we can tell when somebody is lying to us, but scientists have proven otherwise again and again. Researchers Michael Lewis and Carolyn Saarni left a group of five-year-olds in a room with their favorite toy and told the children not look at it. The experimenters left the room and came back after a few minutes. Hidden cameras revealed that 85% of the children looked at the toy, but only 38% of them admitted to doing so. Lewis and Saarni showed the kids’ parents videos of their children saying whether or not they’d looked at the toy. The researchers asked the parents to judge whether their kids were lying or telling the truth. The parents were right half the time—no better than chance would indicate
In another study, scientists showed participants a photograph of an extremely attractive person of the opposite sex. The scientists asked the subjects to convince their significant others that they found the model unattractive. Then the scientists asked the subjects’ significant others whether the subjects were lying or telling the truth. The significant others were right less than half the time. In a related study, University of California psychologist Paul Ekman showed videos of people either lying or telling the truth to professionals known for their ostensible truth-detecting abilities (polygraph operators, robbery investigators, judges, and psychiatrists). Ekman asked the professionals to identify who was lying and who was telling the truth. The pros couldn’t beat the coin flip test either.
Irony Defined: The Difference Between Strippers and Call Girls
Dancers pride themselves on not sleeping with guys for money; call girls pride themselves on not getting naked before large crowds of people. “At least what I do is in private,” they tell me.

EMERGENCY, by Neil Strauss, Author of the Game
Picked this book up yesterday afternoon and ALREADY on page 189. Neil Strauss, for those of you not familiar, wrote the #1 most entertaining book in the world: The Game. So far I'm most impressed with his chapter ends. He does that Dan Brown thing where you can't not go on to the next chapter.
Camp Anawana: Salute Your Shorts: The T-Shirt
Wore my Camp Anawana T-Shirt yesterday for the first time. Great success.
For those of you who don't know, Camp Anawana was the fictitious camp that the Nick TV Salute Your Shorts took place at.
One guy at the poker table asked me where the camp was.
One 8-year-old at Blockbuster pointed at it and said, 'That's my shirt!"
"No it's not; it's MY shirt," I told him.
"MY shirt!"
His mom apologized, saying, "He's got a shirt the same color."
This is, at the very least,
This is, at the very least, a creative way of giving me your age.
