Comme d'habitude
ATTENTION: I love coffee, I don't like olives. Below is a ridiculous (and quite frankly disturbing) amount of Robert Downey Jr. stuff with randomness and life's minutiae in between. I support FC Barcelona. Don't say I didn't warn you ...
People shouldn’t ask me for help in moving
Because I will end up stealing the following—
- An Iron Man 2 Operation board game.
- $3.45 in coins (which I collected from random cracks and crevices as furnitures are moved and floors are broomed).
- A lighter.
- A caseless DVD copy of Zodiac.
- Basically anything RDJ-related.
- A toy clapper.
- A pillow pet, which was technically mine in the first place.
I shouldn’t be this excited over my new Iron Man toy but I am.

Logical Conclusion of the Day: Also, as noted by Redditor Hank_Scorpio_77, Batman Begins was released the year Obama was sworn in as Senator (2005).
Election over.

orb01 asked: I want to tell you for such a long time that your blog is the most awesome RDJ's blog in Tumblr, srsly ;v;! and... I saw your tags on Liam Neeson post that you miss kadeart, so I told her and she want me to tell you that she's freaking miss you too! but her internet kinda sucks oTL
Thank you, I’m very flattered :)
Yeah, I miss kadeart very much. I always loved her posts — both RDJ and Liam Neeson and then there’s her amazing art. She’s one of the very few people who, even if they don’t update for a year, I can’t unfollow in the faint hope that she’ll suddenly pop back. Which she has done every now and then.
Thanks for telling her that I miss her. OH AND PLEASE TELL HER TO COME BACK!
He talked about Tyler’s senior year in high school. “I would characterize him as a child growing up,” he said. “He was getting more into being fashion-conscious. Now, this kid, he had to dress for orchestra—since he was seven, he was wearing suits and ties. But he was getting more trendy, in the last year or so.” Jane Clementi recalled that, not long before his death, Tyler had bought a spectacular new pair of glasses—bright green on the inside of the stems. His father said, “He was definitely trying to express himself.”
They never saw any sign of depression, and can’t even see it retrospectively. “As a parent, what it says to me is that what you think you know, you don’t know,” Joseph Clementi said. “And that’s a hard thing, because we all think, I know what my kid’s up to. You don’t.”
On the night Jane Clementi learned that Tyler was gay, she said, “I told him not to hurt himself.” Not long before, a girl from his school had committed suicide. “We had talked about it briefly that summer, and for some reason that thought came to mind. And all I said was ‘Don’t hurt yourself,’ and he looked me right in the eye and he laughed, and said, ‘I would never do anything like that.’ ”

foque replied to your post<span >: <em >Surely I’m not the only who —
oh i do it all the time. super fun
Isn’t it fun?!
One time I booked a hair appointment and I used the name “Helen,” which happens to be my favorite, go-to name. But I forgot about it so when I showed up at the salon, they couldn’t find my appointment until I remembered that I used a different name.
Next time I’m straight-up going to use “Robert” and say my parents were hippies, hence the boy’s name.
Surely I’m not the only who —
when asked for your name in the coffee shop — uses a completely different name, just for shits and giggles.
Like today, after ordering some overpriced mocha-flavored coffee:
Barista: Who do I make the coffee out to?
Me: It’s Robert.
Barista: I’m sorry?
Me: Roberta.[a few minutes later]
Barista: [shouts out] I have a mocha capuccino for … Roberta?
Me: That’s me.
Oh technology.
Today is the first day that the clinic (where my dad works) is starting this new electronic medical records system. Basically it means the patient’s chart is entirely on the computer, everything is typed instead of written, prescriptions sent electronically to the pharmacy, etc.
My parents aren’t very computer-savvy. I mean, they know how to go online and all that but … come on, my dad types using his two pointer fingers.
So he runs the night clinic. They stop taking patients by 10pm.
It’s now 12:45am and he’s still not home from work.
My mom is certain it’s because my dad is taking forever in typing things out or figuring out the system.
I’ve always thought that medical students are somewhat useless. The attending physician can do what a student does in less than five minutes, obviously.
Now … now I finally realize we might actually be kinda helpful. I mean, as a student, I do the extensive histories, type that out and all the findings, and I’m good at figuring out different medical record systems (most students are).
I told my mom that if dad wants, I’ll come to the clinic with him tomorrow night to help him out.
He just needs to practice.
My cat … he’s not cuddly, doesn’t like being picked up, definitely not a lap cat. He never sleeps next to me or anyone. Not that he’s a cranky bitch (not at all) but he’s kinda aloof and does his own thing. I joke that he has personal space issues.
Then again, don’t most cats?
So to see him sleeping on my bed, right next to me, as I read (and use Tumblr) over the last four hours … that’s pretty amazing.
I know this is a one-off, and that’s why I took a picture.
