It thinks that drinking all of that iced coffee was a bad choice ( Read more... )

Ian just informed me that he saw a Chick-fil-A in/near Ontario, California. Which is good, because I'm not sure I could live in a place bereft of Chick-fil-A.

So, it's ten in the morning. I've completed the tasks that were waiting to be completed yesterday. Mom and Ben are coming up for lunch, and I'm eating a scone.

I was reading this article about myspace being down because of power outages and bum back-up generators. The rest of the article is about how servers are better prepared now...blah ( Read more... )

I figure I'll leave my borrowed copy of this month's Harper's Bazaar on our little pile of newspapers next to the commode ( Read more... )

I walked to work this morning. I almost slept in and drove in, but after one bout of "snoozing" (dumb-looking word) I rolled out of bed to shower for the first time in two days. When I lived in the attic last year I was showering twice a day--but I lived in an attic and desperate times call for many showers ( Read more... )

Every few months or so (every year?) a group of office depot salespeople show up at the GA Center with some of their vendors to peddle their wares to the support staff of varioius departments and office on campus. I don't *really* need to know about Post-it(TM)'s fancy new product development, but I do like free, maybe-not-the-freshest-ever ( Read more... )
