That's rough, Strega. Good luck.

Things I wanted to put in my review and didn't, part 1 of a series...
I'm supposed to rate myself on things like this:
I kept people appropriately informed at all times"I attempted to keep people informed, but their ability to process what I'd said was sometimes questionable."

Guh. The second picture is the most adorable thing in history, I think. Eyelashes!

I quit. I mean, at this. For right now. I finished one stupid form, I think, and am half through the second. My epic "I've been here for a decade and until this year never thought of quitting, and for the past six months it's all I think about" essay is on my PC at work, so I'll de-crazyify it tomorrow.
I wish I had something more interesting to talk about. Hm. Oh! So I found out my new(ish) microwave is a lot more powerful than the old one. I found this out by making popcorn. And walking into a kitchen that was full of smoke a few minutes later. Turns out that 4 minutes on the old microwave = about 2 on the new one. Oopsie. The good news is that because of the lack of ventilation, the burned popcorn smell is mostly confined to the kitchen, but that's also the bad news. So any de-stink-erating tips would be groovy. I think that I've mostly cleaned out the microwave itself, but the kitchen is still icky. I should probably buy some vinegar tomorrow. Will vanilla work after the fact? Please to give me magic spells which will make my house not smell like burning, kthxbye.

Putting lemon juice in water in a mug and sticking that in the microwave is supposed to work. Though I've never used it, so who knows? Good luck with the review/quitting/forms situation. Putting it in a corner and ignoring it for a few hours is probably a very good idea.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Family Guy Star Wars special was HILARIOUS.
Stega, I hope you got rid of the burned popcorn smell.
I thought I had won the OSU football pool we're in but I was looking at the wrong square.

I was wowed by the Ken Burns The War episode last night. WHY the HELL is PBS showing episodes every night this week, right up against all the big hyped premiering shows and ones that are returning? Couldn't a week in August have been done instead, when there was nothing much on to watch anyway?

Strega, the only odor reducer I've used that works is Citrus Magic, which is pretty widely available.

Jars, I was so sure your link was going to be to this! Apparently is Adorable Baby Monkey Monday all over the interwebs.
