I was laying on my bed with my head hanging off to the side looking at my floor when I stumbled upon an enigma: How do people make carpet? One might answer "Why with carpet making machines you silly boy...", but how do they make carpet such that there are no cuts in the middle of the room? Do they always make carpet in huge sizes, and then shape it to the floor? Are there actually divisions in the middle of the rooms and I've just simply been fooled by the masterful carpet craftsmanship of our times?
I appreciate my carpet very much and I hope you all don't take your carpet for granted. Imagine being a carpet, having parts of you constantly under the heavy weight of furniture, getting walked on 24/7, pee'd on, covered in grime and other unclean secretions. I propose today, October 2, as Carpet Appreciation Day. I will create a similar thread next year on this date.
So school has been pretty crappy for me, I'm not sure if I'll be able to pass some of my classes (damn this engineering degree). In fact, I'm not sure if I even like this field of study... but in all honesty I can't picture myself doing anything else. Oh, and I've also been eating a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches... the following is my recipe for a killer grilled cheese sandwhich:
Ingredients:
2 slices of bread, butter-topped are best
1 slice of cheese
Procedure:
-Insert 2 slices of bread into the toaster oven
-Set temperature to 450 C
-Let sit for 2-3 minutes until it begins to turn from light brown into dark brown (at this time you may also start to unwrap the cheese from the wrapper, this is known as dovetailing your tasks, an important aspect in cooking and life in general.)
-Place slice of cheese on one of the slices of bread. Close oven and let sit in there for 40 seconds - 1 minute.
-Take out bread, put on top of each other, slice with knife according whichever way you like.
-Now this is important!: Take each half of the sandwich and put them on their ends to form an upside down V. This makes it so that one side does not get all soggy.
-Eat, enjoy, and be merry.
I'm tired. You'll see more of me around :)
