  • New toy, new toy! Two toys in one!

    As if the world needed more proof that I’m one amazingly geeky geek.

    I have one of these!

    The only downside is that it’s a bit bulky, but not really that much more so than my Palm m105 so I’m not upset about it. It weighs about the same as the m105 and my Nokia put together, which sort of makes sense.

    Hey Heather, I can play more games on my phone than you can on yours! Nyah nyah nyah!

  • That’s a neat idea, I think I’ll steal it.

    Inspired by the often-amusing efforts at Argephontes, I think I’ll start doing a Weekly Round-Up of some of the journals/blogs I read near-daily. If nothing else, it’ll give me something to write about on a slow news (Fri)day every week. Even better, I might learn to write more gooder words because I’ll have something to write about.

    Or something like that. I’m really zonked out today, please bear with.

  • Your word of the day: Megatofu

    An after-lunch chat…

    me: Lunch was very yummy, if you don’t count the evil nasty pseudo-salad.
    me: (Shriveled cranberries, sesame seeds and some wilted greens doused in vinegarette does not a salad make, folks.)
    friend: ew ew ew not what id call it either.
    me: Exactly. I took a few bites, then ate bread and waited for my megaburger to arrive. =)
    friend: megaburger, i assume that made you happy. two words that go well together…hmmm…mega and just about anything food related, now that i think about it.
    me: *chuckle* “Megatofu.”
    friend: well, although not that often, i eat tofu.
    friend: megabrussellsprout though, YUCK!
    me: Megatofu. *grin* It’s a fun word. Megatofu.
    me: Sounds like a Japanese corporation or something.
    friend: its the king of tofu production.
    friend: or it could have battled Godzilla in a B grade movie with terrible audio.
    friend: okay, I’ll stop

  • Probably not the key to a truly happy marriage.

    Wendi IM’d me this cute little link this morning. It’s clearly satirical, but cleverly done. Enjoy.
    Advice For The Young Bride

  • It’s Friday. It’s Five, somewhere in the world.

    I can see a time, far in the future, when I’m able to do several Friday Fives in a row. It will probably happen two days before the universe collapses in on itself, though.

    • Where were you born? – Ketchikan, Alaska. I don’t remember the place because our family left when I as only three months old. My earliest reliable memories are of New York City.
    • If you still live there, where would you rather move to? If you don’t live there, do you want to move back? Why or why not? – I don’t. I don’t. Er, I don’t. (Three questions? Does that make this the Friday Seven?)
    • Where in the world do you feel the safest? – At home, of course.
    • Do you feel you are well-traveled? – That’s an interesting question. Is the implication that I’ve been traveled, or that I have traveled? (Hmm, must get mind out of gutter.) No, I have never left the country, nor have I seen very much of These United States. I’d like to, though, on both counts.
    • Where is the most interesting place you’ve been? – I’ve been a few places of mild interest to myself, but I don’t think I’ve ever been anywhere of wide, general interest. I apologize for being so boring. *grin*
  • Why I’m not in customer service, Exhibit A

    friend: I’m working on the overnight team at Target. Unload the truck, stock shelves, all that fun stuff.
    me: Well, it gets you away from Joe Average Customer, at least.
    me: (I hate dealing with The Public. Gah.)
    friend: Indeed. I would end up killing all the customers, or “guests” as Target likes to call them.
    me: “guests” har har… I love corporate euphemisms.
    friend: lol, yep
    friend: I can’t help but laugh when the dayside people come in and start saying, “We need to get ready for the guests!”
    me: “Lay out the mines, the mortars and the gun enclosures! Make sure to string the barbed wire across the entrances AND exits!”
    friend: lol
    me: Hmm, I don’t think I have the right attitude to work the dayside shift at Target, ya think?
