Random Tangents, Take Two...

Tangental thoughts

I can see my desk! Sweet! This is definitely an improvement. The floor's a little cluttered now, but that's alright.

I'm writing a report, which is fun times.

Oh, so last week I had some "fun" with the car. Aka I got a flat, then proceeded to disengage the muffler AFTER the flat was fixed. And then I had to wait another several hours for a tow truck. Thank you to all the nice people who were there and/or helped out :) And/or understood that the lateness of said event required my sleeping in and showing up late for work the next day.

I have purple sneakers again! They are fantastic.

Now to do other important things.

Perpetual messiness, as they say

I'm sitting at my computer and just looking at all the piles of stuff I have everywhere. And thinking about the piles in my room. And in a computer lab.

I'm an organized person, so the piles pain me a bit, but I need that little kick to get going. Or a large chunk of time. I think this weekend may be conducive to cleaning and tidying.

It's a nice little break, you know? Filtering through all the stuff you've got lying around, just waiting to be chucked or filed or posted. Or finding things that you forgot you had. Oh look, a cheque! (Just kidding. I knew it was there).

Busy as a bee

Been very busy, but not had too much (or too much time) to blog.

I'm looking for a good recipe to use a giant zucchini in; maybe zucchini bread? I've never actually had zucchini bread.

Time for more sleeping soon; it's not overrated.

This Groove is Out of Fashion

Brian Eno and David Byrne have a new album coming out: "Everything That Happens Will Happen Today". You can download one of the tunes from their website. Good times, and a throwback to the style of the Talking Heads.

I've had pasta for dinner for the past three days because I had some delicious homemade sauce and wanted to finish it. So good.

Made a trip to the library. Picked up Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess' "Stardust" (loved the movie, hope to love the novel); Neal Stephenson's "Zodiac"; a novel by Mark Leyner (the title of which escapes me right now); and some movies I've meant to watch but never got around to.

Whoever said "out of the mouths of babes" got it right; children are oft quite insightful.

Someone made Dr. Horrible - the My Little Ponies version.

Intriguing stats.

Fin.
