My favorite thing about the holidays
Cuties! They’re tasty, easy to peel, healthy and the small size is adorable. And at $5 for a crate, they make a great addition to the work holiday pot-luck. The only time invested is picking them up from the store, and they’re great for cleansing the palette while getting overloaded by homemade sugary treats.
However, I’m definitely missing the Darling Clementines I used to buy (I haven’t seen them in North Iowa for a couple years). Not just for the name, but they also came in a wooden crate that you could reuse if you didn’t let the last few Clementines go bad.
It’s alive!
Okay, I’m posting from work, but this is too hilarious AND it’s the last day at work before Christmas. There’s nothing going on here anyway.
Here’s a gift from my buddy Myles:
According to the story on the tag: Like his father, this mini macho stache has a moustache all its own — though it’s merely stubble at this larval stage. And as legend tells, this stache’s stache has a stache, but it’s so small an electron microscope is needed to see the tiny folicles. One day all of these staches will grow full and bushy.

Aaron and Dawn had a baby last week, and I’m so incredibly happy for them. PHOTOS! The kid is ADORABLE, Dawn looked gorgeous for having just given birth, and I can tell from the photos that Aaron hasn’t been happier. Congrats guys. I know you’re going to make amazing parents.

It’s been insanely foggy around here, and while driving this morning, I decided to take a photo. Don’t try this at home, kids.

And completely unrelated, but here’s an interesting site highlighting odd psychological studies. I was especially fascinated by the one where a neuroscientist studied his own brain after having a stroke.
Doodle boodle
In honor of the doodle-esque redesign, I scanned in a bunch of my doodles to share.
According to the Anna Koren Graphology Center, here are what my doodles say about me:
Geometrical shapes - Triangles, squares, pattern formations: organized brain, clear thinking process and planning skills, meticulous planning on one’s steps, efficiency, purposefulness.
Abstract shapes - Tension, difficulty and disturbances in concentration.
Repetitive shapes - Patience, perseverance, methodical, developed ability to concentrate.
Bars/crosshatches - A sense of suffocation, a need to escape, a desire for freedom, a feeling that his actions are restricted.
First official post at ruaarnold.com…
…and boy, is it boring. Redesign! Yay! Biiiiiiiig thank you to Derek for all his help and hard work in getting this thing up and running at the new address. Hugs.
Stay a while, stay forever
I just spent way too much time looking at this site. A very cool use of photography, illustration and flash. Gotta love the surprising bits of humor and interactivity as well.

“I want some cheesecake. Good thing marriage and cheesecake are not mutually exclusive.”
How I spent my day
Cutting a boatload of treble clefs out of paper for the annual Christmas decorating contest at work and listening to the Pixies’ Where is my mind? Yeah, I don’t know either.

What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany’s at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No. I go for the chandelier; it’s priceless. As I’m taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It’s her father’s business. She’s Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico but I go to Canada. I don’t trust her. Besides, I love the cold. Thirty years later I get a postcard. I have a son. And he’s the Chief of Police. This is where the story gets interesting: I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She’s been waiting for me all these years. She’s never taken another lover. I don’t care. I don’t show up. I go to Berlin. That’s where I stashed the chandelier.

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.
