Back from Delaware
We’re back from Rehoboth Beach…back to the land of sales tax. It was so nifty seeing stuff ring up for exactly what it said on the tag! My Torrid clothes were here when I got back, and I think they mostly fit. :A: isn’t too sure but I like them. The skirt and pants were … Continue reading
Homemade Ice Cream
Today is our last day of house-sitting for my in-laws; tomorrow they come home from Disney World. I hope they got us nice presents! (I’m only half-kidding…I don’t expect presents for house-sitting, but I do want something because hello they went to Disney World!) They have a giant two-quart ice cream maker, so today we … Continue reading
Chocolate Blog
If I started a blog about chocolate, I would probably call it Chocoblog. (Yeah, a site exists at that domain already…but check out the last updated date!) But instead, I’m looking at ChocolateCurb: The Chocolate Blog, which is a frequently-updated site that covers everything from cookies to cacao. In addition to recipes and chocolate-related videos, … Continue reading
Don’t Bother Thinking
I was having a hard time posting a comment about this in a friend’s journal, so I decided to post it here instead. This is just venting about the message board at the Video Relay Services Consumer Association website. As far as I can tell, people who post over there feel exempt from the requirement … Continue reading
New Sidekick 3 Skin
New Sidekick 3 Skin, originally uploaded by woofiegrrl. When I bought my Sidekick 3 after we got back from Alaska, one of the first things I did was buy a new skin from MyTego. I had gotten my previous skin from them as well, it was a rainbow skin, and I was very happy with … Continue reading
Tiredville, Population Me
Ugh, I am just so tired today and tonight. I woke up with hives and swollen eyes this morning. In fact, I basically fit Cute Overload’s Rule #21 – eye capsules – but in a kind of gross way. Yesterday I interpreted at Kings Dominion, at the guest services office. It was actually kind of … Continue reading
Creation Museum
I’ve heard of the Creation Museum a couple of times before, mostly just news articles announcing its existence. But then I heard an article on BBC’s Newshour that really brought home for me just how creepy this place is. They include audio clips from some of the museum’s exhibits, and interviews with one of the … Continue reading
See Far
I’ve always thought that photography using telescopes was really cool. In addition to getting a really close up picture of your neighbor in their underwear, you can take super-close pictures of wildlife, and even get a better, longer look at the stars than you can get even by peering into the telescope! There’s a lot … Continue reading
LiveJournal Phone Post: Bluetooth
MP3 Phone Post (244k, 1m18s) “I want to keep this short because I want the service to be automatically able to transcribe it but I am making a phone post through my new blue tooth headset & I just want to see how the sound comes through & I tried to do this last night … Continue reading
Design Resolved
Whew! Thanks to Dan getting my debugging juices flowing, I got the design issues on my webpage resolved. I had a lot of time to do that today; Thursdays are normally my busiest day but half of my clients weren’t there! I am really looking forward to the switch to VRS though. I’ve notified my … Continue reading
