That makes sense. I am pretty sure he did not mean [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

AFAIK, to snowball someone is to bamboozle them, fool them into doing something for you. Though now that I think about it, I can't recall where I heard it used that way.

Because books.

I think that's just plain snowing, Zen. The only place I can remember "snowballing" used was in that Julia Roberts movie Stepmom, but they never explained what it meant.

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

My knowledge of snowballing is Sophia's.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I did more packing of boxes to mail, met someone from the hood who bought two board games from me, and started transferring things in the fridge out of real dishes. I can't believe I did not think to do that before. In the fridge were/are: 2 medium pyrex casserole dishes, 2 small pyrex refrigerator dishes, a glass pitcher, a plastic pitcher, MY COFFEE POT!, a butter dish, and a tupperware lettuce keeper.

Now I am going to take a warm bath and go to bed. I have a lot to do tomorrow.

The very best tool I've found for cleaning out details is a nutpick, sarameg. I've bought more than one set of cheap nutpicks and a nutcracker. The bonus is that type of nutcracker is excellent for opening stubborn metal cans of varnish thinner and the like.

Oh yeah, I was thinking about asking for some used dental tools from my dentist. 2-3 teeny stair steps in those insets on the column. At least this is the worst post. The other 2 have flat surfaces. I've got steel wool, which will be the last go-over.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Somewhere or other, I just saw a review of some new falafel chips made of chickpeas, as well as some other chips made out of beans, but I can't remember where.

Just got home from dinner with Sparky. So fun to see her again. Sparky is extra special in that I first met her when we both lived in California. We toured Arlington together after she moved East and now I got to see her near my new home.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Am I too late to wish Abby and Dillo happy birthday? Happy birthday!

I am in disbelief that msbelle is moving tomorrow, or Tuesday rather. Exciting!

We went to the Farmer's Market for brunch this morning. Turns out the crepe place sells French press coffee. Yum. Am planning on having brunch at Farmer's Market a lot more often.
