I just made crepes with my new crepe pan. They came out all crepe-y! Like real crepes that you buy from real crepe makers. After the first crepe mush disaster I got the hang of flipping them over and it was really easy. I think tomorrow I will try out my aebelskiver pan. My computer doesn't know how to spell abelskiver and neither do I. I just ( Read more... )

Somebody loves me, and I don't even know them! I guess Ryan's relatives really love him. Because a wedding present came today! And in the package was a crepe pan and an abelskever pan and a crepe making set which includes a crepe pan (yes, that's total 2 crepe pans) and a crepe turner and crepe mix. Guess what I'm making tonight? Crepes! Well, ( Read more... )

So I went to the sleep doctor, and he said "your case is very interesting." You don't want to be interesting to doctors. That's not a good thing. So during my sleep test through the entire night I got absolutely no REM sleep and hardly any deep sleep and I wake up a lot and move a lot. Getting no REM sleep is a pretty good explanation for why I' ( Read more... )

I had a sleep study several weeks ago, but the first appointment they had for me to come back and get the results was end of September. So I was really confused when I got a call yesterday to confirm my appointment for today. I don't know how I got an appointment for today, but I'm not complaining. So hopefully later on today I'll get to find ( Read more... )

The radio said "The business world's gaze will be on Ben Bernanke" and I heard "The business world's gays will be on Ben Bernanke." It was mildly hilarious, so I thought I would share. I can't get pictures of gay men in business suits tackling the head of the Fed out of my mind. Now, back to work.

We got a wedding present! Getting UPS packages that you weren't expecting is so much fun I almost wish I hadn't asked for money. Except not really ( Read more... )

It is a little funny to me, when I say things ungrammatically on purpose and people ask me I tell them I'm regularizing the language, but here I am trying to be an editor and which makes me all grammar prescriptivist. I regularly use "they" as a non gender specific singular third person (why don't we have a specialized word for that?), and here I ( Read more... )

I had a very strange dream. I was at some place that was kind of like an amusement park but the entire basis of it was that you rent costumes. I guess then you go on rides in the costumes? I'm not entirely sure. But there were racks and racks of costumes, and you could change them throughout the day, but it costs money, and the rides cost money ( Read more... )

I got even worse on the GRE this week than last week. So that was my 2 chances. Maybe they will let me tutor SAT instead. I could get a qualifying score on that really easily. On the positive side, I just got called for another interview next week. On the down side it's for administrative assistant job, but at least the pay is reasonable.

I didn't get the homeschool teaching job I was so sure I was gonna get. I don't think I'm going to get the techwriter job I just interviewed for either. This afternoon I'm off to Kaplan to see if I can get 780 on the math GRE. I'm fairly doubtful, unless I get lucky. Maybe they'll let me tutor SAT instead. And then I'm stuck in Santa Barbara ( Read more... )
