I LOVE idioms and notice I use them very frequently. I've also noticed they can go out of style, I guess? You have NO idea how many people ask me what it means when I say "Lose my own head if it wasn't screwed on!" when I'm flustered.
*stares* Acceleration and gravity are the same thing? *boggles over this* #observationdeck
...I almost feel as if I should test this next time I'm on the train, but jumping up and down in a crowded train at rush hour is probably a poor idea... #observationdeck
What if it's decelerating or going up or down an incline?

I just have so many QUESTIONS. #observationdeck

Wait, it is? How? O_O

See, this is why I love this place. #observationdeck

I think the Bechdel Test is good in theory, but it just annoys me in practice. Kill Bill, for example, fails it because the women are all talking about a guy (they want to violently kill). I mean, it shouldn't be so black and white. Does context not count for something?
I have a question about SCIENCE. Also about trains. BUT MAINLY SCIENCE.

Okay, so, I take a train everyday to work. And today I started wondering... if a train is moving forward on a track and you jumped while riding inside it, would you land in the same place or would the train continue to move while you were in the air for that half a second?

Some very minor googling on my iPhone on the train ride home tonight didn't give me much in the way of an answer... (I was too exhausted to read and this is where my brain went today. I really wish I had payed more attention in science class...)

I love the idea of weaponizing my liberal arts degree, especially since I've found no other use for it except to be badgered into spellchecking and grammar checking the emails of my idiot coworkers.
Mrs. Pumphrey would be so proud that Tricki Woo won! James Herriot, meanwhile, is banging his head against a wall.
I always think it's so utterly charming how celebrities all go to pieces over the Muppets and similar puppets and talk to them like they're real people. It's so endearing. Sure, it's really a felt puppet with a talented person's hand up it's bottom, but they really come ALIVE and I just love watching the interactions. Fascinating and heartwarming.
Who needs romance and flowers and candy hearts that taste like poisoned chalk when I have you, Odeck?

Happy Valentine's Day. You guys are awesome friends! :D

"Life is pain, Highness! Anyone who says differently is selling something."

I don't know why but this enters my head on a DAILY basis. It's a spectacular line and I love the way it'd delivered in the movie. #observationdeck

Navy people? What do you have against people who are plain blue or turquoise? Are you anti-turquoise or something? #observationdeck
This should be the new Rickroll. I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD NOW. #observationdeck
Usually the most embarrassing thing for me is correcting someone's grammar or spelling and having a grammar mistake or misspelling in the very comment I wrote to tell them they were wrong. #observationdeck
