I just took a walk in my neighborhood. It's a lovely day out--fairly warm in the sun, but cold in the shade if you're not moving around. I returned library books, and went to the farmer's market (the first one of the season for this location). I bought a tomato plant, and some cheese. Sadly, the flowers were overpriced and the asparagus was huuuuuuuge (I prefer skinny asparagus, not ones that are bigger than my thumbs). Then I got a latte, and walked past the DAR hall where the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are having a Mother's Day Mad Hatter's Tea. There were Sisters dressed up of course, and someone on stilts, and burlesquers, and some people spinning fire, and juggling...
Yay, my neighborhood!
Mother's Day Mad Hatter's Tea sounds awesome.
Watching Clean House makes me feel much better about my own space. I feel silly for having a Klein bottle on display, but this guy's got a set of Arsenio Hall mugs.
I'm trying to multitask too much. Aaargh. I'm getting little piles accomplished here and there, but nothing that says "oooh, look over there!". I think I have ADD when it comes to cleaning.
You know what really helps when you're trying to use a foot pedal to listen to a recording while transcribing?
Actually plugging the foot pedal into the USB port.
DUH.
How do you have a Klein bottle on display, Hil?
One of these, -t. [link] Right now, I've just got it sitting on top of my bookshelf. Haven't found anywhere better for it, so it's just sitting there getting dusty.
I'm even more amused that you get them from ACME Klein Bottle, than at the fact that you can get one in the first place.
I just sold a bunch of used books to Powell's online. It's neat. Type in the ISBNs, they give you an estimate, and you send them in with a shipping label they provide. You get paid in store credit. I got $20 for three three paperbacks, a hardcover "YOU: On A Diet," and one math textbook. The textbook was about $15 of that $20. (I know I could probably get more for these by just selling them myself, but this is way easier.)
