Wanna give me a hand. 🤪

Absent-Minded Man by Jerome K. Jerome

This is a humorous story about a man named McQuae who is inattentive to anything around him. He can’t remember invitation details, appointments and even the women he were engaged to. However, when he finally gets to marry a jolly woman named Leena, his friend, the writer thinks that it won’t last long as he will forget about her too. After a considerable time, the writer unexpectedly meets his old friend McQuae, drenched in water on a rainy day. McQuae as always informs that he has moved to the new place with Leena and has forgotten all about it. The writer very calmly takes his friend to a solicitor and finally restores him to his wife.

The story is hilarious. Some of the conversations made me laugh out loud. The first part of the story was narrated in second person, which is the rarest in English literature. This is the only story I’ve read which has this style of writing. So, I enjoyed learning something new.

I didn’t like the fact that the character of Leena was mostly in the shadow of her husband, McQuae, the protagonist of the story. Although she was explained as a cheerful woman, we don’t see her express any such action.

If I could change anything from the story I would have added more detailed information regarding Leena. So that the readers can have a clear idea of how she was able to live with a man like McQuae for so long.

Other than the aforementioned point, I found the story genuinely amusing. It shows that how absent mindedness can put someone in absurd situations. I, myself, often get distracted in many occasions. Now, I have started to focus more on my surroundings. This story has taught me a fine lesson.

I’ve actually wrote this for an assignment where I was supposed to write about a short story I liked. But unfortunately, the teacher is making us write a review on the story SHE tells us. I was so excited about this assignment in the beginning. Now, I’m devastated.

Hi guys! So I thought it would be cool (and pretty nerdy) if I created an alien head-themed necklace (kinda like my profile picture 0_0)!

This is 3D printed like most of the other stuff I’ve got on my shop, and it’s hand painted using acrylic paints. It uses a double sliding knot to easily get it on and off. 

If you’re interested in seeing it for yourself, you can check it out on both my Etsy and eBay shops!

In case y’all are interested, I’ve set up eBay listings for the Crash Bandicoot necklaces, too! Unfortunately, I can’t combine them into one listing, but I’ve got links for each separate one here.

Crash Bandicoot 3D Printed TNT Crate, Nitro Crate, and Wumpa Fruit Necklace Series

Inspired by a childhood favorite of mine and its recent remaster, Ive created three Crash Bandicoot themed necklaces! The necklaces in this series include the TNT Crate, the Nitro Crate, and Crashs favorite Wumpa Fruit. The charms are 3D printed using PLA plastic filament. Each piece is individually hand painted by myself using acrylic paints. Charms are attached with a silver-plated necklace chain with a ring clasp for easy adjustment. Necklaces are available individually, but you can also purchase them in pairs or the whole set for a discounted price. Please note that neither I nor my shop is affiliated with the Crash Bandicoot brand or any development company associated with it.

So this has been something I’ve been putting together for awhile now. 

I’ve loved the Crash Bandicoot game series since I was a little kid, and still play them to this day. I wanted to commemorate the recent release of the “N Sane Trilogy” with something special. So, I’ve released a new Crash Bandicoot themed necklace series to my shop. 

The series includes three necklaces: the TNT Crate, the Nitro Crate and the Wumpa Fruit (I may be adding more in the future). The charms are 3D printed (as usual XD) and hand painted with acrylic paints. 

I’ve wanted to do this for awhile now, and I’m so happy with the final results. If you want to take a look at them for yourself, you can follow the link on this post. All support is really appreciated!

Even in my work outfit my Nerdom shines through!!!

My family is objectively cooler than yours, and if you don’t think so, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of coolness.

SQUIRTLE NOOOOOO

MY RAVENCLAW NECKLACE CAME TODAY!!

To children, the world and everything in it is new, something that gives rise to astonishment. It is not like that for adults. Most adults accept the world as a matter of course. This is precisely where philosophers are a notable exception. A philosopher never gets quite used to the world. To him or her, the world continues to seem a bit unreasonable- bewildering, even enigmatic. Philosophers and small children thus have an important faculty in common. The only thing we require to be good philosophers is the faculty of wonder.

Sometimes I’m talking about my cat and someone is like, “Gallifrey, what kind of a name is that?” And I’m just like, “He’s named after the planet of the time lords.” And they just look at me like I’m crazy.

Me: Man, Harry Potter is so dreamy.

Friend: Yeah, Daniel Radcliffe is pretty hot. He needs to ditch the beard though.

Me: No no. Not Daniel Radcliffe. Harry Potter.

Friend: But-

Me: Shhh... Harry Potter.

This year I had a Spanish teacher named Ms. McConnel, which was really difficult for me because for the first couple weeks I kept accidentally calling her Ms. McGonagall.

My dad has a shirt with this and I want one. The OG geeks will get it.
