toasty | The Most Amazing Thing Just Happened!
https://fullandbye.wordpress.com/2011/07/01/toasty
The Most Amazing Thing Just Happened! And this time I mean it). July 1, 2011. I am now the proud owner of the world’s most awesome toaster. It is possibly the cheapest toaster ever; also quite possibly the ugliest. But I made it, and I am very proud. I then used my trusty multitool to bend the larger wire into two rackets, and then strung the smaller wire across the rackets. You can tell that I did not worry too much about symmetry. I believe the appropriate term for this aesthetic is wabi sabi. In non-t...

Trumpa-loompa revisited | The Most Amazing Thing Just Happened!
https://fullandbye.wordpress.com/2011/06/03/trumpa-loompa-revisited
The Most Amazing Thing Just Happened! And this time I mean it). June 3, 2011. I’ve done some more thinking about the Donald Trump–Oompa Loompa overlap, and I’ve stumbled upon something that I find quite remarkable. Granted, I have only once seen a single episode of “The Apprentice” but from this episode I gathered that the show follows this basic plot:. A series of contestants are selected through some seemingly random process and are given this once in a lifetime opportunity to impress the man. Possibil...

The Most Amazing Thing Just Happened! And this time I mean it). November 17, 2011. The goods as promised. This post will be long. So I’ve broken it up into some sub-headings! Trip home and matan’s wedding. What I’ve been up to in Jamaica, generally speaking. Some more abstract thoughts on development. Trip home and Matan’s Wedding. I did not really make my hourly whereabouts known, so on my first full day back (also my birthday) I shocked the shit out of both Heather and Winona by showing up randomly at ...

Pithy Thoughts | The Most Amazing Thing Just Happened!
https://fullandbye.wordpress.com/pithy-thoughts
The Most Amazing Thing Just Happened! And this time I mean it). This is a list of thoughts and observations about Peace Corps, Jamaica, and Development work. Expectations are disappointments under construction. (I read this somewhere…wish I had thought of it myself). Go to the bathroom BEFORE you handle any scotchbonnet. Washing your hands will not remove all the capsaicin and fire-crotch is WAY less fun than it sounds. Keeping hydrated takes effort. Kids, despite being adorable, are also little germbombs.

Motivation | The Most Amazing Thing Just Happened!
https://fullandbye.wordpress.com/motivation
The Most Amazing Thing Just Happened! And this time I mean it). When you are a Peace Corps Volunteer, you find yourself explaining your motivations pretty frequently. It is a fair question. Doing this requires a measure of sacrifice and a willingness to live with the compromise of putting distance between your friends and family in order to achieve friendship and kinship of a different sort. Even the most driven and talented people require some help from outside influences who can encourage their growth ...

The Most Amazing Thing Just Happened! And this time I mean it). May 22, 2011. Good lord Donald Trump is an orange, orange man. I would like to see his long form birth certificate. I wonder if original surname was “Trumpa-Loompah”. The resemblance is, in any case, striking. Also, I think my pac-man boxers were swept up in the rapture. This makes me sad.
