i'm at the station babysitting the board during a volleyball game. (this is mostly irrelevant, but helps to set the scene.) i realize that i am thirsty and some water would be a nice thing to drink. i head to the water fountain, but as i pass the coffee station i realize it would be nice to have a cup of water. so i stop to grab a cup ( Read more... )

i've decided to expand my music options. my phone has a radio tuner which i love in theory, but in practice it only works if i have headphones plugged into the phone, and it only picks up local stations, and those two factors together are a bit limiting ( Read more... )

i sure hope rpatz and kstew can work it out. if zack and vanessa managed to survive that whole sexting scandal [for a couple of years, anyway], hopefully these two crazy kids can weather the storm as well.

i have another 50 dollar travel voucher from delta airlines that i need to use before september.

continuing my stellar streak around sharp objects this week, last night i stepped on a box cutter blade. just the blade. it was lying on the floor. no idea why. this is why i, when i put knives in the dish drainer, they always go in sharp end down. i don't care if it ends up dulling the edges eventually, i'm pretty sure doing it any other way would ( Read more... )

My fave is Wake'N'Bake: really good pot, and really good coffee on a lazy weekend morning. Sigh. :)someone [somewhere] just mentioned this and suddenly i was like 'novel new concept!  why have i never done this?'  and then i remembered that my weekend mornings are never this unscheduled.  or they weren't.  one thing i am enjoying about my current ( Read more... )

The Russian put a down payment on a 47" LG LCD television. It's on layaway at Walmart. And a fluffy gray six-year old cat will be delivered to the house by a local rescue organization on Monday. (We saw her picture online yesterday, and then went to see her at a pet fair today. We'll get to foster her for a few weeks and then see if we want to ( Read more... )
