If you open the dishwasher while it is on delay start, it will never run.

argh. Roommates. Suitemates. Whatever.

Also, exams are crap. But everyone already knew that.

Usually I avoid talking about politics, but there are some times when you just want to get some things off your chest ( Read more... )

My brother and sister's birthdays went well. They seemed to like the presents I got them, anyway. I should be getting ready to go to work now, but I'm procrastinating as usual, so I will instead make a to do list:

Well. We had some lovely weather last night. There are tree branches down all over the place in the front yard.

So. It looks as though we will be having still more tornado warnings this evening. Hooray. I went outside to watch the clouds building, which was interesting, as some of them were directly over our house, moving quickly north. Another group of clouds were moving south, although it didn't appear to be moving as fast. I stayed outside until the ( Read more... )
