Er, maybe? I dunno. Of course, that could be part of my difficulty in finding them; I'm using the wrong terms or something.

Options are confusing!

I mean, of course I like having options, but I have multiple things in my closet I can't quite describe in words. And I know a lot of words!

This weekend: Birthday dinner bash for the SO! Teaching Saturday morning. Then desperately trying to get the rest of the spring-orderliness done. It's not actually cleaning, more going through bins of stuff, getting rid of stuff. I'm still in floppy disc hell (thank goodness I don't have any old 5 & a quarter inch discs or data cassette tapes hanging around). Hope to finish that off. I'll probably wait on going through cds. My goal for this weekend is to get to the point where I need to work on the storage units.

Lots of getting materials ready for meeting with the builder, hopefully next week. And some regular work, probably, too.

Ooh, and Jessica, yay ceiling fans! Buy compact flourescent bulbs!

House accessories. How fun!

I have a pair of fake fishnets, which I wear with joyous abandon. Or at least without thinking they make boys think sex thoughts. They're just hose with a criss cross pattern on them.

Buy compact flourescent bulbs!

I tried! The candelabra base ones are a bitch to find, though -- two hardware stores I went to only had the 3W ones (15W equivalent), which is way too dim. I'm going to try Lowe's this weekend, and then start looking online.

(We'd actually bought a ton of medium-base CFLs for these fixtures, not realizing that they took candelabra bulbs, because we are stupid and don't know how to read. So now we have all these extras which we'll probably never use because CFLs don't burn out like incandescents...maybe I can sell them on Craigslist.)

Hee! Craigslist will probably find you somebody.

And yeah, those candelabra ones are hard to find. Here's some from Amazon, Buffista link, and I heard that IKEA has some, although I couldn't find them on their site.

I totally missed Fred Pete's announcement earlier. Much kitty ~ma!!

I just installed PostgreSQL on my PC and created a database. Then I started Apache on my Mac, and now I'm downloading PHP to it.

This is all very exciting. To think I mocked the friend who was going to spend the afternoon reading on VoIP.

Difference is, now I'm going to go finish watching Dirt. It's fun.

So. Left work early, since I've been working crazy hours on a crazy project.

Decided to stop and do a little shopping on the way home.

$300 later - oy.

But! I found the craziest thing. Pappadum pringles! I haven't tried them yet. Still - the hell?

(I need to post about some work stuff, some stressy and some encouraging. And I really want to post about a concert I went to last night. The current post, however, is brought to you by mild intoxication and heavy exhaustion.)

Aw, poor kitty. I can attest to long term....whatever care making them keep going strong.

This weekend, I'm doing chores. Laundry, cleaning...oh, I have to get quarters. And I have to MAIL STUFF. I swear, I need my own personal postal assistant. My hours are not postal hours. And, well, I am lame.

My ear canals are spasming. They do this sometimes. It's not comfortable. Not harmful that I'm aware of, either. But annoying.

I've put CFLs in the bathroom (4 bulbs) and one livingroom fixture. I'm ok with the bathroom ones, though that light took some getting used to. In the LR, I don't like it so much. But I'm still mourning my late lamented halogen. Now THAT was light.

I really don't like CFL light, generally speaking. It's too cool and pink or something. My bathroom is very yellow so that seems to counteract the pink. Though my hair still looks weird to me. The red gets washed out.
