  • I’m In Love With Mr Clean Magic Erasers

    November 21st, 2009 by Jeremy

    I haven’t blogged about this yet but I was cleaning the house today and had to break out the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to get some crayon off of one of Tyler’s chairs where he colors. Barbara, you were right they are great at taking crayon off of the plastic chairs.  Any way, I took the chair into the kitchen and saw the kitchen sink which has always been a little on the brown side even though it is supposed to be white.  I did a few quick wipes and instantly the water around it turned brown.  I scrubbed with it some more and the more I scrubbed the more white the sink got.  My old house had tile floors in the main entry way and all of the way back to the kitchen.  The magic erasers are great at cleaning the grout between the tile.  I’ve also used the erasers on the shower floor and they work wonders there as well.  So hopefully you don’t just take my word for it, go out and pick some up today!  After all they don’t call him Mr. Clean for nothing!

    Dreams

    I’ve decided to keep a dream log/blog and you the world can help me decipher each dream.  Has anyone ever done this?  I find dreams fascinating.  The interesting thing is they make sense when you first write them down but then when you go back and look at them they seem very odd don’t they?  My all time favorite dream is when I was suddenly able to fly.  I flew over Disneyland (I was a kid) and flew through the Matterhorn.  I woke up and I had fallen asleep in front of a fan.  I’ve had lots of dreams as a kid that I have fallen down a cliff or ledge (has been years since I’ve had that dream).  I’ve had reoccurring dreams and again as I kid I had lots of dreams of chasing the school bus because I was late to the bus stop.  Even as an adult I still have dreams I didn’t study hard enough or didn’t’ get enough time to study for a test.  I’d say I have more dreams than nightmares (90% are dreams and 10% nightmares).  I also think I tend to dream more after going through something traumatic or during a stressful time.  Have you noticed any patterns in how you dream?

    November 11th:

    • Video arcades were in my dream last night several times.
    • I was walking down a path and it was raining really hard.  There were boards covering the walkway that let the rain through.  As much as I kept trying to get out of the rain I couldn’t.

    If Words Were In A Popularity Contest

    November 20th, 2009 by Jeremy

    WordCount™ is an artistic experiment in the way we use language. It presents the 86,800 most frequently used English words, ranked in order of commonness. Each word is scaled to reflect its frequency relative to the words that precede and follow it, giving a visual barometer of relevance. The larger the word, the more we use it. The smaller the word, the more uncommon it is.  For instance if the word Jeremy was in a popularity contest I would be ranked #7,521.

    Check out some of the following I’ve tried:

    • The = #1
    • Me = #72
    • God = #376
    • Safeway = #22,415
    • California = #4024
    • Illinois = #21,125 (for Jill)
    • Dog = #1276
    • Cat = #2,532
    • Man = #142
    • Woman = #393
    • His = #27
    • Her= #36
    • Love = #383
    • Hate = #3,107
    • Basketball = #19,433
    • Baseball = #12,548
    • Live = 561
    • Die = 1,840
