I was going to work, but then my mother called and set a record for the number of times I said, "Well, we both have stuff to do," without being able to get her off the phone. After that I had lunch, and whatever tiny bit of momentum I had was gone.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, Ginger, I do sympathize, I have so been there.
And yes, shopping for a new couch. Well, right now we're at the very beginning stages of seeing what's out there, since we haven't shopped for upholstered furniture for at least a decade.

I have mini bundt pans. I should really use them sometime again....
Nonian, that sounds like a very yummy supper. Sorry about the car!!
The Italian Job is on Showtime. But I'm supposed to be leaving the house soon. I hate when I get sucked into things...

All is well that ends in pizza.
I miss pancakes and waffles. It's not that I can't have them but it just isn't right without oodles of maple syrup. And all sugar free syrup does is make things soggy.
I also miss eating a dozen home made chocolate chip cookies.
Ironically I could probably eat them somewhat more often if my diabetes got worse and I had to start taking insulin to compensate.
So, I guess that's one of those "be careful what you wish for" things, isn't it?
Never mind. Nothing to see here. Move it along.
In other news...
It's 51 degrees outside here right now. Wooooooooooo! Heat wave!
I'm heading out!!!

In other news, Microsoft [link] continues it's tradition of stealing ideas and making them their own.
Microsoft Creates Weasley Clock
Microsoft has created a new digital wall clock which strongly resembles JKR's Weasley clock we read about and saw in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Rather than using numbers, the clock points to places like 'Home', 'School', 'Work', etc. This creation went on display yesterday at Microsoft's Techfest, an annual science fair which displays creations being developed in Microsoft labs around the world. As one person commenting on the article noted, they forgot the locations 'lost' and 'mortal peril'. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Stealing and making it their own? Looks like some geeks geeked out to me -- it's not like it's an actual product, or anything.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Sorry about the scratch, Nonian.
