I’m thinking the truck drivers are on strike. They are driving along 405 honking driving slow in the middle lane. I love living right next 405.

They were protesting high fuel prices.
Either my desk is too little, or I have too much work to do. I think it’s a little of both.
Lunch Review! Simply Asian Noodle Bowl vs Trader Joes Equivalent
Simply Asian Noodle Bowl- Garlic Sesame Flavor
- Price: $2.39
- Noodles: Pretty good. Real skinny. I like skinny noodles.
- Flavor: Kinda bland.
- Other: Lid was hard to peel back! Oil packet was hard to open. Ended up getting oil all over my fingers!
TJ’s Noodle Bowl- Garlic Flavor
- Price: $.99
- Noodles: Just fine.
- Flavor: Yum!
- Other: I like this one, but man, “Spring Onion” flavor is gross. It taste very chemical-y.
Winner? Clearly TJ’s! Less then half the price and way more delicious! Also, more functional packaging.
Both are way better then the Cup O’ Noodles I was eating in 9th grade.
Gas Tax Holiday
According to James Hamilton, a professor of economics at the University of California at San Diego, the benefits of a temporary tax moratorium would probably go to oil companies rather than consumers. He said states that suspend gas taxes are able to respond to rising demand more efficiently than the country as a whole, because gasoline supplies can be easily transferred from one state to another.
“Prices would certainly rise to the market-clearing level,” Hamilton said. “I would expect the price to go back to very close to where it was before, in which case consumers would not see any benefit.” - The Washington Post

I’ve been meaning to post about this for awhile now! Catherine and I had a Mini Food/ Degrassi Spring Break Movie party. The mini foods were excellent and adorable. The Degrassi Spring Break Movie was kind of a let down. Turns out it was just two regular episodes in a row. Plus, neither of us are really caught up on Degrassi so we didn’t really know what was going on. Jay and Manny are engaged? Wha??
Anyway… heres more pictures of mini foods.
Uh. You know what are cute? Baby hedgehogs.
The Oregonian has lost 33,307 daily readers.
Weirdly, this is about the same number as Portlander’s who only have cell service.
Interesting.
You know, I signed up for a free trial of the daily Oregonian like three weeks ago. It has yet to show up. What is the deal??? I want my crosswords!
Doughnuts
You know what’s embarrassing? When you are trying to make a serious point and you mean to say “do not” but for some reason it comes out “doughnut”.
“I doughnut want to go to The Old Spaghetti Factory. The free spumoni is so not worth it.”
I’m not the only one this happens to, right?
