Fact checking the Internet
It's always a good day when I can drop a little Snopes bomb in the comments of a Facebook re-post of some piece of idiocy. This evening it was my dad's cousin sharing a blog post in which someone re-posted, verbatim, the 1998 email debunked in this Snopes entry on aspartame. I mean, do whatever you want in your own life, re: consuming or not ( Read more... ) -
November Fools Day
Oh, hi, internets! I seem to have missed October entirely, here in DW/LJ-land. See, it's like this with my free time in recent months:- Playing stupid games like Candy Crush takes a lot of time away from..

It's Sunday, so I...
Have done nothing all day but play Facebook games and poke at financial spreadsheets. Whatever, my bills are paid, with more than $1.00 to spare, so I'm counting it as a win. Pierogies for dinner, with a side of delicious vegetables, for the second night in a row -- also a win ( Read more... ) -

That was a pretty good day

3 things make a post or whatever (an unnumbered list is still a list)
Hooray, my laptop is back, with a new hard drive to show for its adventuring! I fell asleep to the glow of its many system updates last night ( Read more... ) -
July, July!
So apparently it's not summer until my laptop completely craps out and I have to live without one for a week while the Best Buy Geek Squad send it off to their computer repair mothership. Fortunately, I have learned a) to always buy the 2-year protection plan so I can just drop it at the Geek Squad counter and not have to hassle with anything else ( Read more... )
