I just realized that I haven't eaten since, like, 2. Which explains why the screwdriver is making quite an impression on me. Stay tuned to see if I start burbling in increasingly random ways.
But we had a huge brunch! Huge. I'm still not hungry. Plus we ate tons of of prime rib on Christmas Eve. Oog.
How is it only 9? Maybe I'll go kill some pixelated monsters for a while.
hmm.
yay new stove - that would make me happy.
sadly - i got DH ( ok this was an us present ) new wine glasses - they don't fit where we hang them - which is the best and safeplace to be... so we will have to modify the wine racks...
I went out with my sister today and did our traditional going to the movies--but seriously, it's gotten ridiculous out there. Ten years ago we started doing this, the movie theaters tended to be pretty empty. Today we tried to go to a 1pm movie, got there at 12:30, and it was SOLD OUT! So we bought tickets for the 4pm Dreamgirls instead, and went to see Sweet Land at the arthouse theater (which was still pretty empty). Sweet Land is about a mail-order bride around WWI era, going to Minnesota Norwegians, but she turns out to be German (gasp!). It was interesting, but a little odd. Dreamgirls was great fun, and the audience was all into it, cheering and clapping after half the songs...I was a little annoyed at one point though, because while I know they record the actual soundtrack singing later, they could make it LOOK like they're singing--but no, during the big "I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" scene, she was barely breathing. You can't sing that kind of big diva song without some breath, girl. Make it look real.
Ha! After several days of trying, I've managed to connect to my Mom's wifi network. It turned out that I had to enter in the
hexadecimal
version of the password. How anti-intuitive....
I think I gained 48657137 pounds. Send help.
It turned out that I had to enter in the hexadecimal version of the password.
I think I had that same router once. We had an unsecured network....
I think there is some type of WiFi encryption that requires passwords in hex. Most, of course, don't.
Allyson is me, only with a great book contract.
Allyson is me, also, but with a book contract and probably not tipsy.
