I almost went out to buy lunch. Instead I drove to a mostly empty car park, read a little, and lay and mused a little.

Came back and ate at my desk. It was okay.

If only the co-worker one over wouldn't keep sighing plaintively and muttering "Oh god, oh god, Jesus Christ" under her breath and then rubbing her face loudly.

Until her, I hadn't considered one could rub one's face loudly.

Ooh. Time to get my LCD widescreen TV repaired, and try out the picture-in-picture feature....

I don't know how Greg and his terrier did, I just saw their picture on the website. Go to Friday's "around the Tampa Convention Center" Gallery -- he is the second picture.

catching up on Golden Globes:

Another adorkable photo of Sandra Oh. [link]

Hmmm... any Somervillains want to go to IKEA during the Superbowl?

I mostly just watch The Word. Don't hate me. It took me a long time to take to TCR.

Perkins! Eat your lunch! Do something else outside.

Perkins, cure for boredom = a walk outside. Maybe getting a magazine to read while you eat?

Jesse and msbelle are wise, but sadly, it is kind of grey and yuck out, and I am not wearing good walking shoes. I think I shall have to bring or wear some tomorrow. I am eating my brought-with lunch though, so that's something at least.

I discovered today that my previous instinct to avoid red meat TV dinners was spot-on, as my beef portabello lunch smelled truly vile when cooked. Picked up grilled chicken and broccoli from a local deli instead, and the cashier guy undercharged me by $2 after correcting a $5 overcharge. Good food tastes even better when it's cheap.

I mostly meant outside of the office, not necessarily OUTSIDE. Run an errand or something.

I avoid chicken tvdinners. Too often the chicken tastes off to me.

Advantage of following a hairstylest through 3 salons over 7 years: when you call and she's all booked up, she tells the scheduler to cram you into a corner of her schedule.

So I can stop being annoyed with my hair. It is really too long for this cut now.
