Gee whiz, what has happened since last time? I have continued to do random tasks at work, which is nice because random tasks are at their heart still tasks. I've spent the past several days being the temporary replacement Heidi. Unfortunately, just as creme brulee (I refuse do do accented characters without a mac, and even if I had a mac at this ( Read more... )

So, the quotes inspired by VH1's 100 greatest child stars ( Read more... )

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later--I finally had some work to do at my job on thursday. Granted, it did only take about 2.5 hours even employing warehouse rules and deliberately getting lost in covington. Best thing I learned at the warehouse--work as slow as humanly possible unless you are directly assisting a customer. It's a lifesaver ( Read more... )

So Wednesday I was driving around, and I realized that I have misidentified the rug shop of hurricane sign fame. Due to some unfortunate penmanship and and a poorly pronounced story on the TV news, I called it Bob Roux's oriental rug shop, when, in fact, it is actually the sarouk shop. My apologies.

I've been sorely remiss! I left airbag_128 off of the list of people I met up with last friday. Oops. But since then, some other stuff has happened. I spent most of the weekend assembling cabinets from IKEA for a family friend. Mildly interesting to do, not so interesting to talk about. Sunday was the big christening for the cousins. I had to shave, so now I ( Read more... )

Either that or reformat the hard drive. But all of the cds here at home are conveniently missing, so the universal solution is ( Read more... )

So it's been a while, but here goes. It's been an eventful week. Tuesday I finished up with finals, and then the hut raid was on. I called Private Sub Loot(location$) and gathered in some free stuff from the lab that moon buggy is abandoning. Signage, swords, all kinds of cool stuff. It made me think about the junkyard--I still need to get new ( Read more... )

And now, without further adieu, the 24 hours of ENG 423 ( Read more... )

I turned in the first term paper today. Only two more to do before next tuesday. I still have to read the book for one of them. Stupid scarlet letter. But if anyone's interested in how a comparison of All is true and Richard II argues for viewing history as socially constructed, boy do I have the paper for them. I even worked in a Monty Python ( Read more... )
