Jimmy, waiter from the South Portland Governor's restaurant
Yes, its a cheesy local family food chain, but its good eats with big portions, how American right? But the highlight was Jimmy, waiter extraordinaire. He has energy, charisma, and walks the fine line between amusing and annoying when it comes to the waiter-customer relationship. He tends to fall on the amusing side if you just let yourself go with it. Be responsive and not a grumpy bastard and he will be great. Hell, he called Joel "cupcake", and if you know Joel that is damn funny. He works there Wednesday to Sunday 11 to close. He let us know that!
Not procrastinating
It seems amazing that doing things ahead of time leaves you time to goof off and just enjoy yourself later on and not stress about deadlines. It's hilarious how I never seem to do that.
The random text message
People who have whole conversations over texting is just going to give them hand cramps. But the random quirky funny text is always a pleasant surprise on your phone
Emails & voice mails from Jen Blood
If you do not get them, then you are missing out. Because not only are they well written, they are a hoot. You get a glimpse into the quirky genius that is Jen Blood. Someday, I will transcribe a voice mail for the blog. There is often some kind of singing involved or an elaborate scene about her fabulous future. She is at no lack for imagination.

Complete with headshots and videos! It's exciting! He is my favorite extra in the whole world. Plus I have very incriminating pictures of him. Rich in a box. Rich in a Niagara Falls hotel room with harlots. Rich in my sister's bed.
Peanut butter and celery
A classic from childhood that is extremely satisfying. Its the crunching that is the best part. Eating an obnoxious vegetable is reviving the 6 year old in me that blew bubbles in my milk. Ok, ok, it was last Tuesday, but at least I did not spill it this time.

First of all, Cookie, good call on giving props to The Governor's and celery with peanut butter. I'm skeptical about this avoiding procrastination thing though.

Katamari Damacy
It's a quirky Playstation 2 game from Japan that defies description. You basically roll a sticky ball around the world collecting items as you go in an attempt to please the eccentric King of the Cosmos. No explanation can do the game justice, you just have to play it. It's highly addictive, easy to pick up and play, and sells for a reasonable $19.99.
Frankenstein's Day
This is a tradition I started at USM a few years ago. It's basically a February 14th alternative for anyone who thinks Valentine's Day is nothing more than a shameless marketing tool for the candy and card companies. Participation is whatever you want to make of it. I recommend wearing an article of green clothing, handing out homemade Frankenstein-themed cards to your peers and, if you're feeling generous, give them bolts from the hardware store in place of candy.
Curb Your Enthusiasm on DVD
Each season is more ridiculous than the last and every episode is a barrel o' laughs.
Y, The Last Man
A fantastic comic that tells the story of an unexplained phenomenon that wipes out every living thing on the planet with a Y chromosome except for one man and his monkey. We follow his quest to discover why he was spared and see how the world might function if women were suddenly in charge (for instance, only 5% of the world's airline pilots are women.) Y, The Last Man tells a compelling and original story that would make a terrific series for HBO if anyone with some connections is reading this.
