chicken soup:

Oh, no, you shouldn't have linked to that site, Suela! I'm going to spend the evening looking at puppies and wishing I was in a position to adopt. Particularly this dog: [link]

He's totally right up my alley. I want a Staffordshire Terrier so badly.

The iPod was b/c of the news. It is to save me from having to travel without one. and also to save me from taking my laptop on the trip. we will now use the iPod to hold some DVD entertainment for mac.

In case you haven't used the video iPod before, if you are planning on using it to watch video, know that that reduces battery life from about 13-14 hours (for music) to about 2 hours (for video). Personally, that was a bit of a surprise to me, and I'm happy I didn't have to make that discovery on a long flight.

Oooh, Rotty/Golden mix sounds like a winner to me.

Consuela, that dog is beautiful. And, he looks like he needs a good Buffista to love him.

Doggie!!!

(also not helpful, I know)

(Oh well)

I just went back to sleep for alomst three hours. YAY me, except for the whole laundry thing I should have done.

The last sixteen hours of Natter can be summed up as: Doogie! Doggie!

Livejournal is still largely down. And now, some twelve or thirteen hours after we first got in here and mentioned the problem, they've finally put up a 404 saying the thing about the power implosion. Ah, efficiency.

I mean, I'm not trying to crack on them when they're down, but honestly--all this talk about new services and better site management under Six Apart, and they don't even have a proper contingency plan? Or a useful, and continually updated, way of notifying its "millions of journals" that things are down and they're working on the problem? Feh.

I really think Sonic should stop advertising in markets where it doesn't have any restaurants. It's just cruel.

We're ordering Chicago style pizza for dinner instead.

My motivation seems to have fled in the face of the huge piles of laundry I have to do.

I agree with you on the Sonic, Cash. It's MEAN.

When I was in San Antonio the other week, I had Sonic for lunch TWICE. Mostly because I like their cranberry limeaid. MMmmmmm. And onion rings. And corn dog!

I'm sleepy. I shouldn't be. And I just caught up on like, 800 natter posts, so I'm still back on Halloween thinking "mmm, candy". Darn you all!

I've actually managed to do some laundry. And dishes (which needed it badly.) And a bit of tidying.

I got 30 books for $10 at the library yesterday. If I get myself washed and figure out what I'm taking for potluck tonight, I may go get more.

But I didn't actually want to do any of this. I wanted to be a lumberjack! No, that's not it. Ah, yes. Sit and read Sourcery, that was it.
