It has been hot here this week -- High 80's-high 90's and so I met a friend in the new local mall to cool down.  It was a nice big bright mall with loads of stores I've never been in and will likely never go in.  You see, I am not really a mall girl.  The clothes don't fit, the shoes aren't wide enough, I don't wear make up or jewelry, don't have ( Read more... )

These are two comic sites that I find really amusing.
http://xkcd.com which talks about math physics, computers and other mostly funny geeky stuff.  (The recent bacon cartoon is from there.)

The other, I've found recently.  It is called Garfield Minus Garfield and the panels are exactly what the title says.  They are Garfield comics without Garfield ( Read more... )

Earlier in the week, Danny called from work to ask me if we had plans on Friday night; if we didn't, we did now. Valve was taking his group out to dinner and to Cirque de soleil to see their Corteo show in Seattle.  :o)

Dinner was at las Margaritas in Redmond and it was completely bland forgettable.  I do miss yummy spicy Mexican food. :7  Show was ( Read more... )
