"I essentially have $15 to my name for the next two Fridays," I think to myself ( Read more... )

I figured out how to post YouTube vids to my journal... go me! I can just-a shortcut the code 'ere and cut and paste there... voilà!

Good to be able to laze around today. For some reason I haven't been able to my fill of "blah days" lately. ;-P

I cleaned a bit, read, and putzed on the computer a good chunk of the day; Jesus did the same. We finally took a shower and headed out to the nearby indie theatres to take in a couple flicks - Pan's Labyrinth and Curse of the Golden ( Read more... )

Probably the most notable thing of the day was the moment I got out of work and spent a few hours hunting for high-tech toys with bebi. We went to Kwan's to get some nummy Chinese first... the owners are getting quite used to seeing us by now, I'm sure. ;-) Love their pork fried rice, though I'm amazed at how little of their menu I've actually ( Read more... )

And so, life goes ever on. Nothing exceptional happened today save for the Compaq crapping out on la madre again... which really isn't all that exceptional, come to think of it. ;-) Thus, after work Jesus and I trekked over there to give it a good kick, then made some spaghetti to sup on afterward. It's becoming increasingly draining to go over ( Read more... )

Finally hauled out of the gilded cage and away from my mother's hobbling self. She's doing fairly well on her own now; it will be a week or two more until she can walk around with minimal external aid. Besides, I ain't gonna be the only one of her three kids to look after her. I hate being altruistic. >_Anyhoo, papito arrived this afternoon! ( Read more... )

"All things considered, it will only take a few tens of thousands of years at most before almost every trace of our present dominance has vanished completely. Alien visitors coming to Earth 100,000 years hence will find no obvious signs that an advanced civilisation ever lived here." ~New ScientistI often have strongly philanthropic daydreams of ( Read more... )

Again, another Lay-Z-Girl day fo' me. I sat around reading Eragon and putzed on the computer for a while. Then I went out and reclaimed my bed tray from the baffled girls working Target (after a little, they awkwardly profferred it to me and said "Here, you can take it." :-p). After all, who would try to deceive a Target store out of another ( Read more... )

Nothing too interesting happened today. I made some brioche - quite nummins, I must say. ^_^ Sat around on the computer for a good chunk of the day, then ran some errands in the evening. Got a space heater for my poor little bedroom at my brother's place in anticipation of the cold snap we'll be facing. Also got a bed tray, which the cashier ( Read more... )

Another shuttle venture today - la madre visited a friend in Wyoming, MN. I noticed, driving north and south, an absolute slew of billboard ads for the local FOX News radio station. I gave up counting after a while... it was truly ridiculous though. At one point, there was one ad for one host across the highway from another ad for another host, ( Read more... )
