Booklist

Because I'm a geek, here's a list of what I've read this year. I'll keep updating the page all year, so I can finally write one of those "books I've read last year" posts when the New Year rolls around again ;) And if you really wanted to, you could click on the book covers and buy a book from Amazon, and I'll get a few pennies ;)

Check it out.

Oh, and happy half-birthday to me. Tomorrow it's off to a bachelorette party! Whoo! Hope I planned enough fun. I probably don't have to worry...drinks are fun no matter what, and I bet that's mostly what we'll do ;) Huzzah Leo!

Aux Fruits

Yesterday we received some lab supplies from a local company that obviously recycles. While I'm glad they reuse their old cardboard boxes, imagine opening a package where you expect boxes of glassware and seeing a box labeled "Biscuits aux fruits" (fruit bars). Not quite what was expected. And yes, we did get what we needed. Just in a strangely labeled box.

Also, the exceedingly complicated vcr/dvd-recorder combo that my parents bought because their old one farted out on them will now record. It records in poor quality, but at least it does something when the REC button is pushed. Which is more than what it did the first time I pressed it... I don't think I'd make a good tech support person. I can usually figure things out on my own, but telling others how to do it is something else. OTOH, my parents really need a computer of their own, and I don't think I'd mind showing them how to work a new iMac ;)

Guilty

...of procrastination, that is. See below for a good example of what my life is like (without quite so much going to the store, though)...
