Damn it. I think I just tripped a circuit or something by trying to use my microwave and George Forman grill at the same time. Or, at any rate, something happened and they both lost power. (Nothing else lost power. They were plugged into the same outlet.) I think maybe the grill overheated -- there was a bit of a burned plastic smell.

Guess I need to talk to the super about it. I'll do that tomorrow morning -- dinner's done, so I don't really need the microwave until tomorrow.

I've been working at this university for 13 years. Yikes!

Not at the same job - but still.

As you all no doubt are waiting on the next installment in the Ongoing Saga of My Feet, I can now report that Yes, Virginia, there was indeed a shard of glass in My Left Foot. I have extracted the wee beast, and now I shall take a celebratory nap free of migrating splinter anxiety dreams.

Am I the only person here watching Top Design? I think Kelly Wearstler may have outdone herself with her clothes and hair this time!

Weird, I thought I hit edit but I am going to leave the more complete post.

You know, I watched but wasn't paying much attention to the judges.

ION, I just found that I have a Kara Dalkey book that I would have sworn I didn't even know existed.

I'm watching, but I haven't seen the most recent one yet. I think overall these may be my favorite panel of judges among the Top/Project set, though -- they're so deliciously catty!

I started working at my current place in March 2004 so it's an anniversary for me! Since I've worked here I've had three different employers due to the temp issue. But I like the job but unless they make me permanent (which doesn't seem likely) I won't be here in 2008.

Allyson - congrats on the new job!

Congrats, Allyson!

I've been at my current job over 7 years. I started out hating it, then I liked it for a while, and now I'm back to hating it.

Here's a non-spoilery blog entry about Kelly's look: [link]
