"Ooooooh, oooooooh Creepy Girl. My Creepy Girl!"
I owe a big Thank You to alleynyc for turning me on to Ideal Bites. It's a great daily newsletter that gives you tips on small things you can do every day to help the environment.
For instance, did you know that a desktop computer can release 1500 pounds of CO2 a year? There's a program called CO2 Saver that helps manage your computer's power settings when it's idle, and let's you know how much CO2 you've saved from going into the atmosphere. I'm going to give it a try myself, although my laptop powers down when I close it at night. If you have a desktop that you leave running 24 hours a day, it might be a real asset!
And did you know that screen savers also waste energy, and with newer computer screens, are completely unnecessary? The things you learn!

Oooh, here's some fascinating Buffy vs. SPN meta by the ever fascinating yourlibrairian! I'm only a casual viewer of SPN at best, so some of the details escape me, but this is still a fascinating read. Check it out, and make sure to feed back!

Hee. I'm watching MST3k's treatment of Catalina Caper. GAWD what an awful movie! It's hilarious even without the running commentary -- those are always the best MST's. And Little Richard! Hee! It's weird that he hasn't changed much in the intervening FORTY YEARS.

So I ended up not going out today, because my dad took the Toyota and offered to pick up my meds after work. Who am I to turn down a chance to be lazy? Especially since tomorrow or Wednesday I'm going to have to sit a the blood draw place for three hours waiting to be stuck like a pin cushion. See, thanks to my inbred Puritan ancestry, I am a pasty, veinless wonder. Whenever I go to have blood done, or go for my Crohn's treatment, they always know to call in the EXPERT VETERAN phlebotomy nurse to set me up. When I was last in the hospital, I had two veins collapse, and another got Phlebitis later. Which means it basically got clogged due to damage done to the lining by IV needles.
Because I am delicate. *somehow keeps straight face*
Anyway, everybody else in the blood draw place takes five minutes, while I'm sitting there going, "Ow. Ow. Ow," and watching dozens of people come and go before I'm finished. *sigh*

Hey, you know how I was angsting a while back about writing Gunn? Well, viciouswishes debunks the top ten excuses for not writing him.

For some bizarre reason, I have Jan & Dean's "Dead Man's Curve" stuck in my head. And in typing that, I realized, I don't think I own a copy of The Outsiders on DVD!
Please don't ask me how those two things are related. It's a synaptic misfire of some sort, I'm sure, having something to do with Brylcreem.
And another vaguely related random tidbit, I dated a guy in high school whose father used Brylcreem and wore a duckass hairdo.
