Also, I saw some pretty black ornaments in a fancy decor store. The had such beautiful ornaments, but of course, every single one I liked was $20 a pop. They also had a beautiful teal tree that would be perfect in my living room...but it was $200. I'll see what's left when I make it to the after Xmas sale, but it always seems like all the really nice ones are never on sale.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

I want a vodka pie crust link please.
Also, I love the rotary phone hack. My favorite fun use of the iphone is making it be a temporary baby monitor: [link]

One of my asst. managers at the bookstore was telling me about her goth Xmas tree. Her husband (a professional fight instructor who is currently teaching jousting in Majorca at a Medieval Knights-style venue) has the key for the storage space, so she couldn't get in to get their tree. She went out and picked up a cheap white aluminum one (she was tempted by a pink one, but her hubs would have not approved), and she's putting all her goth ornaments on it, and trying to find more black ones. She's also looking for raven ornaments, and I told her to look at Edgar Allen Poe societies to see if they have any.

I just discovered that Gmail has a little eyroll icon. Jesse's @@ is still better. It's hilarious (to me) that I often start to use @@ and then realize that I have yet to indoctrinate the person to whom I am writing. We really need to get on universalizing @@.

Sue, you ROCK!
I'm sitting in my house in a yoga tank top and a pair of yoga shorts. I have successfully moved some of my cold clothes back in. There is something really brilliant about putting clothes away and forgetting about them and suddenly relocating them. I'm all, "OH! Fuzzy sweater! OH CUTE SKIRT!" It's like clothes shopping but all stuff that you don't have to buy again.

This is why I periodically re-organize my wardrobes. Look! Jackets I had forgotten about! And why hadn't I ever layered those two skirts together?

I can say I seeded the field at my last place. It's easy when you have people who are used to communicating at work through IM. Unfortunately, I had one coworker who's IMs consisted of mainly of "R u there" and "lol". @@

I installed the anti-drunk emailing app, to see what would happen. I forgot about it until I was emailing a friend last Saturday night and suddenly i had 60 seconds to answer six math questions! It was stressful.
