  • Cleaning Jag

    From time to time I get on a bit of a cleaning jag. For instance, today I was going to run a load of dishes and wipe down the sink. I went from that to wiping down the fridge and the dishwasher itself as well as cleaning the inside of the microwave (a job worth doing, no doubt about it).

    So now I’m sweaty, tired, and have a bad case of prunefinger. But hey, cleanliness is next to… somethingsomething… right?

  • Ah, bliss.

    Happiness is…

    …not having to get up at five-something in the morning on a Saturday.

    That will be all. Thank you.

  • Let sit in what?

    In theory: You follow the instructions on the box, heating up your frozen entree in the microwave and then, as indicated, “let sit for one to two minutes.”

    In practice: You get your food out of the microwave as soon as it’s hot enough to eat so that the three people behind you in the lunchroom queue don’t string you up by your toes for obstruction of mealtime.

  • Wandering in a daze…

    Today was a bit hazy. Why no, I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep last night. Sleeping away seven hours or so out of the middle of the day sort of screwed with that a bit. This is why I’m going to bed at about 9:30 instead of my usual time of… er… later. Ahem.

    Tomorrow I’ll have something more coherent, and maybe even interesting, to post. Tonight, however, I’m just letting you know I’m still alive. Until tomorrow, then, I bid you good night!

  • Blogathon 2005: The Finish Line

    Blogathon 2005 is over. I made it. So did a bunch of other brave, foolish, wacky souls. Go, us! And now, bed. Good night… or day, whichever you prefer. Don’t nobody go tryin’ to wake me, y’hear?

    I’ll tidy up the ring and webcam code and other stuff… later. Like, Monday later. It’ll keep.

  • Almost there? Really?

    I don’t know about you… okay, I may not even know you… but if you’re anything like me (namely flat out exhausted) you’re looking forward to crossing the Blogathon finish line.

    But hey, I did it. I raised somewhere in the area of $150 (there were at least two “premature donations” that didn’t get sponsorship credit), and I stayed awake long enough to do it. Another half hour and I can go to bed. Luckily, bed is about three feet away. Heh.

    After the finish-line post, you won’t see me again until some time Monday. I’m sure you’ll manage. See ya!
