Those sound interesting. I'm probably heading over to Trader Joe's sometime later today; I might see if they've got the green beans.

My air conditioning, once again, is barely working. I've got both air units on, plus a fan, and it's nearly 80 degrees in here. Hmm. This could explain why I've been waking up every three hours or so feeling totally dehydrated.

I haven't gotten much work done this week. Or last week, either, really. I need to get some more motivation. The post-it with "May 2009" written on it stuck on the wall behind my desk isn't really doing enough to make me actually get this dissertation done by then. Perhaps I'll replace it with some pictures of places I could go on the trip I'm planning to take after I graduate.

Oh, it's ok Nicole. I decided to just go to bed. I may e-mail you later...

Timelies all! I slept for 12.5 hours. I think I was tired.

vw, stole all the sleep. I got about 4 hours. I see a nap in my future.

Oh, sj! That sucks! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to steal all the sleep!

I was all set to sleep in today, but the DH got up at 5:45, the child got up at 7:00, and the painters got here at 7:30. Gronk.

Normally I don't believe anything I read in the Washington Times. I mean, normally I don't READ anything in the Times. But they are bagging on DHS...but dude, shock collars for all passengers? It's like The Onion. [link]

Oh, I heard about that Raq! It's craziness!

In totally unrelated news, I finally got my newest quilt and fairy tale up on my website: [link]

For once, I do recommend reading the comments. That's some fine wackjobbery going down in there. Microchips! Gun control! Big Brother!

can I get a gross order of those for Time Warner Cable, and once worn, activate ALL of them? Warning: Bitch Rant!

1) the service apointment is all day, 8am-8pm. No way to narrow down when they will arrive.

2) Seems the previous tenant never turned off service. So I dealt with 2 guys last week for well over an hour, close to 90 minutes combined. What did they do? Seems I have 2 addresses tied to my account. With my SS#, phone number, and name, but TWO service address. Both showing ON. Um. WTF! "is this your old address?" "No, I just moved from California". "do you know anyone at this address?" "I just moved from California, I don't know ANYONE at ANY address". "We will have to research this and find out..."

WTF! Take it off my account! STAT!

In the meantime, no idea when the service dude will arrive either. A 12 hour window? Seems a bit wanky to me.

OK, I guess I need more sleep. I'm a bit grumpy. Sorry for the tight diamond shoes and all.

o_a, that is completely ridiculous. Rant away!

Uggg. Service transfered me to Billing. I was working with the very nice lady there for about 30 minutes. Now I'm on hold with the fraud department. In total, my cell phone usage time is well over 2 hours and counting to establish service with Time Warner. Grrrr.
