house ma~~ Kalshane!

Aww, yay Kalshane! Good luck!

Alibelle, I understand your desire to be 19. I am now 30. When did that happen? I think I should be 27. 27 is a good number. It's old enough, but not too old. It's odd. I like the odd numbers better. And it's a cube! Can't I go back? Please? I mean, 30's been great so far, for these few weeks, but...dang.

The older I get, the older my ideal age becomes. Alas, it hasn't caught up with me yet. I'd like to be early- to mid-30s. I wouldn't want to be 19 again. I was an idiot at 19. Also broke.

Make a compound butter with lots of garlic, some cumin and black pepper, slather it on the corn, then wrap the corn in foil and grill or broil it.

Thanks. Did this. Really, really good.

Oh, I meant to ask. What the heck is a compound butter? And why does everyone else seem to know? Okay, I know, you all do that mysterious "cooking" thing where you put lots of foods together over fire and it doesn't all come out burnt.

Butter mixed with other stuff.

Eh, sometimes it does. You do less of the cooking thing the next time.

Yes, all the yes in the world, my sister in being almost twenty-five. Although I've got 'til April. People keep pointing out how I'm now in my mid-twenties and not my early twenties anymore. Like that makes a difference when in my brain I still think I'm fourteen.

Exactly! I swear that I haven't changed at all. And I'm still broke. And I'd much rather be going to class than to work. Even with homework. I like school that much. But I'm not that into teaching, so I won't be changing my career path just yet.

Alibelle, maybe he wasn't really a cop, he was a rogue psychology student doing radical field research?

It does seem possible. It's also possible that he ran my tags, I suppose, though I didn't notice it happening.

Giving cats medicine is really unpleasant. I recently had to give my cat April drops of amoxycillin (I'm not checking the spelling on that) in her mouth (and she was quite adept at clenching her teeth closed), then I had to get her to swallow a cortisone pill, and then I had to do a wash on her open wounds, and then I was supposed to put a cream on the wounds. Three times a day. That...really just didn't happen, though I certainly tried my best. It was way too much, for both her and me.

What do people recommend as a general music download source that will let me keep the music forever and won't limit my applications? I keep hearing songs on store Muzak that I need to download. I'm more than happy to pay a dollar or so for a song.

iTunes is offering DRM-free downloads, but that's by no means 100% of their catalogue.

I just got sent home early from teaching krav. Evidently I should go back to sleep.

Do most people really feel like iTunes is that limiting on their use of the music? Perhaps because I have an iPod, and use that as my main method of playback, and rarely burn CDs (except for drag performances), I have generally found iTunes to not be a problem. And if I did have one, I know I could just burn and re-upload the song(s) in question, no?
