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.

~ma to the kitty!

Kristin, I've homework and Joe's wiped. We're not gonna make it over. :(

All of the trees in the work parking lot seem to have sneezed repetitively all day, and now my car is yellow.

I don't think it used to be.

Oh, man I remember that from Atlanta. You just don't see that in the North. They go on about pollen counts here and I just laugh and luagh.

Okay. See ya later, gator.

One of the residential streets I drive to work had reddish tree dandruff all over the road earlier this week.

I recovered all my Mary Kay business stuff back to the end of 2005 but I lost all my 2006 stuff

Yay, ChiKat, that you got most of it back! I hope the rest of the recovery wasn't so bad (did you get most of your portfolio back, too?). I must call you this weekend to see if we can get together sometime during your week off.

Now my cat is perched on the entertainment stand next to the TV, yowling at the books in frustration because she can't jump on the bookshelf and knock things off.

Why can't she? Did you block it? I find it hard to believe that cat can't jump on anything she wants.

I really don't like CFL light, generally speaking. It's too cool and pink or something

They make them in a much wider range of color temperatures now (and by "now" I literally mean I've only started seeing them within the past few weeks), so it's easier to find ones that match traditional tungsten lighting.

I heard that IKEA has some, although I couldn't find them on their site.

IKEA's CFLs are a really weird shape and don't fit very well in most lamps. (Even lamps I bought at IKEA, which is doubly irritating.) On the plus side, they are really cheap.
