Book shopping was on the agenda this weekend, and how!  We went to five book shops in less than two days.  Five!  It was awesome.  In that time I managed to procure two very old (circa 1916) books, one on The Great Philosophers and another on The Great Musicians.  They look superbly antique and I love them.  I also found a copy of The Adventures of ( Read more... )

Please tell me what is wrong with the following letter:

Mrs. Johnson,

Attached, please find a check request for lighting and mirrors previously discussed with Tricia.  Please note that the amount requested for the McEwen Lighting Studio wall fixtures is a 50% deposit.  The balance in full will be requested when the items near their completion ( Read more... )

I am excited about denture cleaner.  I bought some (generic Target-brand) Efferdent today!  I dislike wearing my retainer all day, but I dislike even more when it has that gross retainer-y taste.  I would even take the plastic-y taste it started out with over this.  So, after driving all the way over to Mesa today to drop of an unnecessary CalGrant ( Read more... )

So, yesterday I found out some pretty good news...  I got accepted to UCSD!  Hooray!  All of the work, and the transcript fiascoes, and summer school, and running around has finally paid off!   I can't wait to sign up for classes and to get this year underway.  I also cannot wait to start looking for a new job.  Now I just have to see how much ( Read more... )

Today, I had a donut.  Actually, I had a donut and a half.  Egads!  I haven't partaken in Donut Friday in months!  I had a Croissant Saturday a few weeks ago, and the past two weekends I succeeded in Quiche Sunday, but I somehow managed to quell my want for Donut Friday for a good long while.  Until today.  I haven't even wanted a donut in a while ( Read more... )

Once again, my man hands save the day.  Two of my co-workers, one male and one female, just came out to request my help in opening a bottle of white-out.  I did it almost instantly.  Why have you given me such strong hands, oh Lord?  Is this the secret to my life's purpose?  Maybe someday I will go on a whimsy adventure and discover the truth...

It seems Hillary and I have something in common...we both had a breakdown yesterday.  I feel her pain, although mine isn't really due to my passion for America (though it has been much elevated since reading I Am America, And So Can You, a nominee for the prestigious "Stephen T. Colbert Award For the Literary Excellence").   Anyhow, while Ms. ( Read more... )

Ok, so I didn't make a mistake; at least, not this week.  It was really more the phlebotomist that made a mistake.  Yesterday.  While I was trying to donate blood.  I stress trying, because by the end of my appointment, I was unsuccessful.  You see, yesterday was probably at least my 12th time donating blood.  And in all of those times, no one had ( Read more... )

This is what they say, or at least, what this guy says:

Some of his ideas sound a little nutty to me, like excluding all Independent Behaviors, but some of what he says does make some sense.  Great.
