just thought i'd share

In this blog post I present to you, dear readers, two inspiring/amusing things I happened upon in the last 24 hours.

First off, an inspiring image stolen from my friend Alyssa's blog (sorry it's kind of blurry, I made it big):

Second, an amusing video as watched in American Heritage recitation yesterday (maybe that class is useful after all):

It's a song about a baby monkey riding backwards on a pig. I don't know why I think it's so funny, but I do.

Do you have anything you want to share? :)

I sort of don't have time to write anything because I'm supposed to be finishing up a 15ish page paper that's due tomorrow (I'm on page 4). But, I just couldn't stop myself from sharing this card that I bought as inspiration from the used bookstore next to Zachary's in Berkeley:

Okay. I'm sure as heck going to try.*
391 paper, you are about to get burned!

*When I showed this to my friend Sam he said, "Seems like a dangerous thing to tell a chemist." hahahaha, good thing I'm not a pyromaniac.
