Good food to add to my fridge tonight: Honeybell oranges!! My dad sent them for Christmas, and since they don't ship until mid-January, I just picked up mine from the apartment manager's office this morning. I brought them into work and handed them around, so I only have five left out of 15, so at least I won't be throwing any out this year. (Dad first sent some a few years back, and I ended up tossing out at least 1/4 of the box since I didn't share before they spoiled.)

Jilli! Check this out: Timeless Prelude by Neon O’Clockworks

Oooh, that's very nifty. And I hadn't made it over to Coilhouse yet today.

Things I have learned today: everyone I know on FB and LJ apparently didn't believe that I had legs. That I just ... hovered, or something.

“New York is the only city in America where you can walk,” said Nassim Taleb

I think you can walk anywhere. It might be easier to get places where you want to go via walking, but my legs work just fine in Rochester.

I think, Jilli, the you have limbs. But perhaps you have no legs because you arent in NY and therefore cannot walk.

Scary--7.0 earthquake has hit Haiti.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

You only can walk in NY? I guess I must be doing it wrong. Perhaps I'm not walking pretentiously enough.

I'm suddenly reminded of the episode of Friends where Joey decided he needed a new walk.

DINAO: Ralph Nader or Joe Lieberman

Nader. I mean, I'm going to assume he's into asphyxiation and choke the hell out of him while we're [handwave], but I'd still pick Nader.

That's right; *I'm* unsafe at any speed, baby!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hope the 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti like they hit Jamaica, with minimal infrastructure damage and casualties.

hip deep in pie

My dentist visit was not fun. My mouth was frozen, but not enough, so I could really feel the drill. It wasn't painful, but I could feel the vibrations. Yeeeugh. I said something after a while, and they gave me more local, but most of the drilling was done by then. I have a temporary filling for about three weeks, and then I get a new crown.

I'll tell you. Any nagging back pain totally goes away in the terror of the dentist's chair.

-t, whyfor a candle in your freezer?

It's a leftover Hannukah candle, the box lives in the freezer door. DH thinks keeping them in the freezer makes them drip less or something. Mostly, that's where I keep them because I know to look for them there.

The 6.7 that hit up by Eureka had few injuries, so, fingers crossed for Haiti. I heard no tsunami, then I heard tsunami watch, so I don't know what's going on there.

Yikes, Sue, being able to feel the drill sounds very bad. Glad you got more local!
