"Guards! Bring me the forms I need to fill out to have her taken away!"
Guess what guess what guess what BULLET POINTED LIST THAT'S WHAT*
-- Tonight I tried cinnamon scones out of a can. You know, like a pop biscuit can. Found 'em at Whole Foods. They're not as addictive and sweet as my Super Lazy Cinnamon Rolls but they're less messy to make and probably better for me. Plus, not having the temptation to eat the entire tray in one sitting is a bit of a plus.
-- Watched Tangled the other night. Really sweet, great movie. Features a heroine that actively does shit instead of letting it happen to her, as well as a hero that has an actual personality and backstory. Flynn has the smoove rogue thing down WAY better than Aladdin THAT'S RIGHT, I SAID IT BITCHES. Also lots of great background details, and I believe it's the only time Richard "Jaws from the Bond Movies" Kiel has been hired as a voice actor.
-- Tried out a pattern for a small fingerless glove and didn't like the look much. Then I was using my iPad as a notepad and was frustrated that it kept picking up my wrist and making scribbles all over the page. PROBLEM, MEET SOLUTION. So now I look like a one-gloved dork while I work, but the note-taking's a lot easier.
-- I finally got my work to lend me an Android phone for testing, and it turns out Motorola Droids can't handle WPA2. I sure as hell am not lowering my home network security for work, so back to the crappy emulator I go.
-- My mom started turning grey when she was thirty (coincidentally, the same year I was born. Yeah, total coincidence). I realized awhile back that I'm now thirty-one, with nary a grey hair in sight. I wonder if this means I inherited my maternal grandfather's hair like everyone says usually happens? Even at 79 he wasn't all grey, more "salt and pepper" like. Part of me was looking forward to grey hair, I gotta admit. Between the acne, the round features, and the voice, I look a lot younger than I am. It'd be nice to appear my age for once. On the other hand ... woo I might not get grey hair for a couple more decades!
-- So, a few years ago Metro (the LA public transit system) rolled out a plastic RFID-based pass card called TAP. It was rolled out VERY poorly, and completely lacking the one feature everyone assumed it was for (namely, placing money on the card and having it debited whenever you get on a bus). Last Thursday when I went to buy a day pass to get to work, the machine told me it had expired. There was no warning, nothing printed on the card, nothing. So after buying a paper day pass I complained on Twitter to @metrolosangeles, because the guys who run the Metro blog actually read that feed. Metro then made a blog post about the issue, including my tweet (with a WTF edited out). That blog post was linked to by Streetsblog, Curbed LA, and LAist. So it's like I'm slightly internets famous, but not for anything cool. I liked it better when Grant Imahara retweeted me that one time, that made me feel more internets famous.
* Chicken butt is also an acceptable response.
