More confusing than Allen Greenspan skiing backwards down a black hole made of Laffer Curves.

Lately, I've been into using coupons for stuff. It's amazing what is out there.

The past two fridays, kellix and I went to Borders and got some free coffee with this coupon. Tasty. We had to get a loyalty card, but eh, whatever. If you actually wanted to buy something, you could use this.

Last Friday, we also went to Lenscrafters and got a free ( Read more... )

Yay, I'm a girl! At least I'm the crazy fight'n one instead of the non-crazy havin' sex with people for money one.

For kellix - Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science. In specific, a link to a paper I thought she'd like entitled What the polls don't show: A closer look at U.S. church attendance from the American Sociological Review ( Read more... )

I have poison ivy or some other such thing on my arm. I think I got it from trimming our bed of English Ivy in the backyard. It sucks because it's itchy but I can't scratch at it. We got this locally made herbal poison ivy balm at Bloomingfoods, and it helps a little, but it still sucks. Even after spending the majority of my childhood outside ( Read more... )

Yay! I figured out how to get DJ Morgana podcasts again. I had lost them for a while, but after borrowing Kellie's iPod for a little while, it all became clear.

I subscribed to Kiplinger's Personal ( Read more... )

We got Tiberius a Gentle Leader headcollar. It works like a charm. He no longer tries to pull on the leash when we walk him, and he walks right beside us instead of zig-zagging from one side of the street to the other. We also don't let him urinate anywhere outside of our yard, so he doesn't think the entire neighborhood belongs to him. That ( Read more... )

On Sunday, jrbl and anami dropped off a doggie to live with us. He used to live with Joe's brother Chris, but needed a new home, so kellix and I said "what the hell" and took him in. His name is Tiberius (named after the evil Captain Kirk, evidently) and he looks dead-up like a Flat-coated Retriever, although we're told he's actually a mix between a golden ( Read more... )

Mowed the grass today. Packed stuff for the vacation. Ate dinner at Lennie's. I might have an ingrown toenail (just in time for vacation!). I have a ton of errands to run tomorrow. Our cherry tree has little green cherries on it, and the new peach tree we planted a couple of weeks ago has golf-ball sized baby peaches. Peas are up in the ( Read more... )
