…and now we’re up to today
Monday, January 30th, 2006Mr. Whitney’s birthday was yesterday. Happy Birthday, Mr. Whitney.
We went bowling again this weekend. Otto did really well, even getting a spare at one point (though it’s thanks to the goodness of bumper bowling). Even though at one point I got a turkey, I only finished with a 101 and [...]
this one is from Wednesday, January 25
Monday, January 30th, 2006So I read Cell last night. (Yes, I still read actual books and yes, I read the whole thing in one night. I read first for plot and then again for subtleties.)
this one is from Tuesday, January 24
Monday, January 30th, 2006Teh Bourne Supremacyzar
Starring: Will Hunting, Lola, Eomer, Zeena Frome.
Plot: Boom! Lola gets shot! Morose Jason Bourne! Boom! Martial arts with a rolled up magazine! Boom! Eomer, no! Boom!
I’d seen the original, but it was such a long time ago I thought Joan Allen was in it, which was [...]
nothing matters but the weekend (dah dah dah)
Friday, January 27th, 2006So I’ve written a few entries but they are trapped on my flash/thumb/whatever drive, which is presently formatted only to work on a PC, which I do not have at home. So it’ll be a while before EXCITING CONTENT returns. Lo siento.
heh
Saturday, January 21st, 2006the most telling line from one of my employee performance evaluations, which I received on Friday:
Thankfully she seems to spend a minimal amount of time in non productive socializing.
Translates to: I have no friends at work.
My evaluation went well, otherwise – I got the raise I was expecting, plus it’s retroactive as of October, so [...]
I must remember
Sunday, January 15th, 2006….that 24 starts tonight. Go Jack Bauer go! It’s the only show that’s left of the three that I started watching the year Otto was born (the other two being Alias – which, while it is still around, I gave up on about a year ago or so – and Enterprise).
So we’ve been [...]
..and now it’s snowing.
Saturday, January 14th, 2006Pretty heavily, too.
saturday
Saturday, January 14th, 2006we were supposed to get more snow today (after temperatures in the high 50’s, low 60’s the last few days) but from what I can tell by looking out the window, it’s just raining. A quick look at one of the local news stations shows it to be 36 degrees though. Sigh. [...]
whee
Tuesday, January 10th, 2006Saturday evening, Otto decided it would be fun to take the tops off my contact lens case. Unfortunately he couldn’t get the tops back on, and one of the lenses fell on the bathroom floor. Rather than let us know what he’d done, he went back to bed and I didn’t discover the [...]
weekend wraupup
Sunday, January 8th, 2006I woke up this morning to a strange light outside. I couldn’t figure out if it was our neighbor’s halogen light in his back yard, or maybe a spaceship beam, then I realized what it was – the sun.
The town where my parents live has a fairly elaborate aquatic park thingy – a lap [...]
living under Tupperware, oooh, oooh, tell me now, what are we, supposed to do….
Wednesday, January 4th, 2006(with apologies to Bill Bryson. and The Kinks.)
I had a dentist appointment today – no cavities, yay me.
I updated my knitting blog to WordPress 1.5 because I was so damn tired of all the spam I was getting over there. I don’t think I’ll change this site, though, as I haven’t [...]
home ownership
Monday, January 2nd, 2006there was an interesting article in today’s New York Times, about the history of a particular house from its construction in 1925 to today.
[Our house was built just around that time (there's conflicting information as to when it was built). It changed hands several times in its first few years of existance, [...]
so i will write “2005″ on my checks until march
Monday, January 2nd, 2006On the advice of my sister (and my mother, eventually) I got a pair of Lands’ End All Weather Mocs and holy crap are these things nice. I’d wanted something less boot-ish than my pink Wellingtons (since sometimes I just don’t feel like being the Goofy Chick with the Boots You Can See From [...]
