dcp, wow, your senior high year was a lot more interesting than mine!
I saw roadrunners today. Running on the road! Away from my car!!!
Note: they do not go "beep beep."
[edited to make whom I was addressing evident]
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

Second post of the day, and it's about food again. I've had a rocking food day. (There was sea salt on the tomato/feta omelette this morning, by the way. Mmmm. Sea salt.)
For dinner I had, wow, some amazing mozzarella wrapped with a slice of prosciutto plus yummy tomatoes and basil in balsamic/oil. The cheese was so. good. Oh, man. Delish. The entree was veal - good but nothing to exclaim about. But the dessert. Creme brulee cheesecake. I didn't choose it, and I didn't really think it would work for some reason. I was very wrong. It was just... creamy/sweet perfection, a lovely, balanced blend of two perfectly lovely desserts. And the crust. Don't know what it was, but I think I fell in love a little.
Also, the restaurant, which is new - first time there - is about five minutes from home. Mwah-ha-ha.

The quiz said I was 63% punk/rebel. I really just was not.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
senior high year
The upside was that I didn't have to have a room-mate the rest of the semester. Perfect for a loner like myself.
Roadrunners are neat. And quick. I've never managed to get a good picture of one.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Drama nerd 69%
Geek 44%
Prep/Jock/Cheerleader 44%
Punk/Rebel 31%
Goth 25%
Loner 19%
Ghetto gangsta 19%
Stoner 6%
I love that "Geek" and "Prep/Jock/Cheerleader" tied for second place. Also, "Drama Nerd" should probably be more along the lines of "Arts Nerd."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So very cool! I once had a coyote cross the road in front of my car, but no roadrunners. I know which I'd prefer.

Anybody here?
See Nutty worry needlessly. Worry needlessly, Nutty, worry needlessly!
I have packed much, and then got fed up with it and have several mostly-organized piles for morning. Due to Flatmate Space-Cadetry, I ended up packing and cleaning the vast majority of the public space (especially kitchen). Thus I feel justified in forgetting to handle any of the bills being transferred till, you know, today.
The dust bunnies are legion. Nothing like moving to bring out one's obsessive-comulsive traits. That goes double when Careful Bob the Muppet is one's new landlord, a man who wears his anal cleanliness on his sleeve. I think I foresee renaming Careful Bob as Scooter, what do you think?
The Red Sox game is in the 7th now, and all game long the broadcasters gaga about a potential Manny trade. Very irritating. At least we are winning (knock wood). The pitcher on the mound is Chad Bradford, a guy who looks like he is skipping rocks rather than pitching baseballs, and with a name like that he always earworms me with the rhyme about Yon Yohnson who lives in Wisconsin.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

No.

Also, you're going from creepy basement Bob to careful muppet Bob? I presume that's an improvement.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think the subtraction of creepy is always a good. Whether careful muppets cause their own issues is up to question.
Also, it will be nice not to have screaming-at-each-other-in-Portuguese neighbors on one side, and idiot college boys who party at 2am on the other side.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Late start to the day. I did manage to get out and make it to Home Depot & there I got the pipe fitting I needed to reconnect my kitchen sink, and a new light fixture for my dining room (which meant a new non-dimmer light switch). I was able to do the sink fix with only a little difficulty, but I was thwarted in my attempt to change out the wall switch - it won't turn on now and I've rechecked the wires three times. Looks like I will be returning the combo light switch/outlet and getting a straight light switch. BASTARDS! It makes me want to scream EAT IT BOB VILLA! which really makes no sense.
Anyhoo, with the sink re-connected I was able to run the dishwasher and that makes me happy.
