Wow. I wanna eat some books! (Original link http://books2eat.com/ changed ownership…) Too bad there aren’t any places near me. And I probably wouldn’t go even if there were. >.> *doesn’t wanna go alone* I’ll just have to do it next year. Or … one of these years. (Hoping they stick around.)

childhood Toys R Us
I just had this memory flash of something from my childhood. For some reason I thought of the old old Toys R Us, the very back wall. I don’t remember what was there, wooden puzzles? Board games? Books? Something sort of boxy and flat like that. I seriously had not thought of that since … since the last time I saw that, I guess.
Now I remember the video/books section. I guess that’s what it was. Mostly I just remember the time we wanted to buy the Rugrats Christmas video (“The Santa Experience”).
I don’t know, it was just weird. There I was, working on a layout, and then flash, old Toys R Us. Trippy.
moo oink
You know that commercial where all these meats fall in a pile and some guy sings (?) “Oink oink … moo moo …”? I think it’s silly and I love it. XD
(It’s for Special K.)

line
Hmm … I meant to type “lion” into a search but I actually type “line.” O.o It made me think of that “lion/line cut” joke.
But anyway. I make typos, switching letters around or even putting in letters that aren’t anywhere in the word (which I seem to be doing a lot of at the moment), or missing letters. But I never type in (correctly) a different word than I was thinking. Um. Maybe I did when someone was talking to me and I was typing. But other than that. I just thought it was weird.
(I also rather enjoyed The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, which I saw on New Year’s day. :b)
UK
Been updating my joined fanlistings page again.
Is the UK a country or not a country? I remember first reading on fanlistings, “UK is not a country.” Then … I don’t remember what I thought. Maybe at that time I was still confused about the whole England/UK/Great Britain/Britain thing. :x One time I decided to look up on the internet if the UK was a country or not, or if England was a country or not… Somehow I ended up at a U.S. government website about all the countries in the world (so obviously I got wrong information because the government always has some conspiracy or another going on /end sarcasm), and it listed the United Kingdom, but not England. So I thought that was solved.
But … but, I saw on a few fanlistings today saying the same old thing, that the UK isn’t a country. So I got confused again (because I’m just not sure about things like that; I just know that I like Neil Gaiman XP) and looked up on Yahoo “uk not a country” and I … didn’t really get an answer. I guess it depends on who you ask, ’cause some people in England/Scotland/whatever the third one is (Wales?) will say they don’t live in the UK country? (this is online … so there are bound to be the less intelligent?) I don’t know…
Then I looked it up on Wikipedia and it said the UK is a country, but it didn’t say England is a country … but I don’t one hundred percent trust Wikipedia, because heck my brother can change those entries (nothing against him though, just … general … >b feeling), although I guess any incorrect information would be corrected quickly (because people like showing that they’re smarter than other people). I dunno. Just confused. Maybe I listen to other people too much.
Noelle, you said the UK was a country, right? And you hang around the TFL boards. Have you ever read anything about people saying the UK isn’t a country?
