today's stuff
Jul. 27th, 2011 11:36 pmI know that saying about one door closing means a window will be opening... but I don't expect it to be played out in my flist... I was unfriended by someone and friended by someone new on the same day. I didn't know either of them. Admittedly I do feel a lot better that I got both announcements together.
We watched the most recent episode of White Collar and it's still meh. But I really liked the line about palladium bullets being used to kill modern werewolves. That was funny.
I still haven't ported stuff over to my new computer but there is room on the desk for it now, so I can dual-team. It gets really confusing when I have 6 browser windows open. I need to actually convert. Remind me also that I need to find out if I can do wireless printing with my printer.
I used the donut pans tonight. With muffin mix from the store. I'm quite pleased with the effect so far. The bottom side does look like a donut, but the top turns out a bit flat & domed like from a regular muffin pan. I may have over-filled them during the baking because when they're upside down there's a well for filling, not a hole.
The other me is actually knitting something. *sigh* And not just Simon's socks. I want my thing done by Friday because I need it then for my evening plans... but I have things I need to do tomorrow because Friday got astonishingly full today.
I spent: 3.5 +.5 +.5 +.5 = 5 entire hours on the phone today. Some of it is Simon's SIL called. We normally talk seasonally and I left her a message in April because it had been a few months since we talked last. We had to cover everything all at once. Normally I spend maybe half an hour a week on the phone covering everything.
I did go outside today. And I took my vitamins. Tomorrow I should probably go to the store and do laundry and give up on my Netflix disc. Normally I wouldn't shop for food and do laundry on the same day, but I have to be up at 4am on Friday morning and will be out until midnight. I will be home in between there, but hopefully will be able to nap. I have been going to sleep about 1am lately and getting up at 7, so I'm already sleep debted. Good thing I've been taking care of myself otherwise.
Can I also add that I've stopped recording most shows on Food Network? Yeah. Iron Chef America... who cares who the chefs are, (unless it's Morimoto who I can't watch)? I want to know what the ingredient is. No point in recording something where they're cooking with fish. It seems like at least half of their episodes are some super sub-specific kind of fish. Those just get deleted. If you delete half the episodes unwatched and fast forward to the judging for the others, might as well not bother. We started watching Diners Drive Ins and Dives after the fourth time we skimmed across it live and Guy who is named after a miniature Oldsmobile was raving about somewhere near us. But if you look and the show descriptions it doesn't say where. And no one who lives in California is going to go to po-dunk Florida to eat at a diner. If I'm going all the way to Florida, I'm going to Disney World.
I searched for more free ebooks today. One of those 99 centers I had been considering was available free, so I grabbed it right away. But I'm still preferentially reading fic on my Kindle.
