So much for growing my poor fingernails back out, I’m cooking again. It doesn’t really matter, I suppose. Long, elegant fingernails are prone to get muck wedged underneath them when you’re cooking, anyway, and that’s not only unsanitary, but no longer particularly elegant. Quite the opposite, in fact. I won’t go into the details.
All I [...]
This site was down last night. It’s not as if I’m losing money or anything, but it’s still frustrating. I use Frihost, which I think is the best free web hosting community available (250mb space, 10gb data transfer/month), but free is free. The wonderful people who run Frihost have other things to do, such as [...]
So, who else gained five pounds yesterday? I spent most of the evening drifting in and out of a turkey-induced coma, which caused me to goof repeatedly while attempting to sew together the pieces of an afghan that I crocheted months ago. Not exactly the best way to work off an excess 2200 calories. I [...]
Hooray! I have batteries for the camera again. Rechargeable batteries. Four of them. I am going to attempt to keep track of how long the batteries last, and figure out whether they save me a significant amount of money. Obviously, they will at least give me a smaller ecological “alkaline battery footprint†in the local [...]
I am going to say something blasphemous and awful.
Brace yourself; I’m female, and I hate shopping. I really do. Shopping sucks. It sucks hairy, unwashed ass, unless you are shopping for things you don’t really need, with money that you can afford to fritter away.
Shopping for necessities blows chunks. I hate shopping for things like [...]
I have got to do something about the way this site looks. It’s reasonably pleasing to the eye. In fact, it’s utterly inoffensive. Which, of course, offends ME. I want it to be weird, but not too creepy, and somehow achieve this feat without loading it down with graphics and causing it to load slowly. [...]
I have GOT to get some more batteries for my camera. I saw a pretty snake in my garden today, but a picture would be vastly preferable to a thousand words. A video of me jumping three feet in the air because the snake in question startled me screechy would be even better.
I really didn’t [...]
Hooray! I felt like warmed-over hell yesterday, but I stuffed myself full of zinc and vitamins before bed, and now I merely have sniffles.
I really should get out more, if not having the flu is cause for celebration.
Or if it’s the only thing I can think of to write about in my (thankfully new and [...]
My head hurts, and my throat is dry and scratchy. I am NOT hung over, so this is a bad sign. Something else is wrong. You know it’s bad when you FEEL like you’ve been out drinking all night after a sedate evening at home. That means flu.
God, don’t let it be a double-ender virus, [...]
Sometimes I can’t say what I think.
I pride myself on being balls-to-the-wall up front about what I think, but sometimes I need to bite down hard on my sharp tongue to keep from losing a job or a friend. I don’t always succeed in doing so, and the consequences usually aren’t worth being right.
I like [...]
