So I just worked all weekend towards a today deadline, only to find out last night that the deadline was extended to next Monday.

But despite that, I'm in a surprisingly good mood. Or maybe because of it--I got an enormous amount done, and don't have it hanging over my head any more. And I just spent some time uploading about 50,000 Legend of ( Read more... )

Fortunately, although there was some coughing and eye watering and we had to open a window, last night was not that time. I had a bottle of Szechuan peppercorns that I bought when I had $10 left on a gift card at Williams Sonoma after Christmas (Penzey's has them ( Read more... )

1. It is RAINING LIKE A MOFO. I believe the official meteorological term for this weather is "crappy." Since it's more or less been raining and gray and cold since Monday, all I want to do is crawl into a hole and stay dry. We're in for some major storms today and this weekend, and I'm wondering how lame of me it would be to bail on several ( Read more... )
