All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"Bob Dole requests a word with the Attending."
She totally did. She's ballsy like that.

Ways that I know I am cheap and a scavenger at heart #37 - I am still using envelopes and note cards I pulled from the trash at my job in 2000! They were dumping cardstock and envelopes from an event and I snatched them all up.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Way to go, msbelle. Out of the landfill and into usefulness. I've got similar things. Though fewer since I had to move. I ended up giving away a lot of stuff before the move just to lighten the load.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mine for today is that there was a box of microwave popcorn in the kitchen that said "Help yourself," so I did! And stashed it in my desk. You never know when you will have a popcorn emergency.

Stove, old minifridge, and some random bits and bobs gone from driveway and garage! WOO.
I also took some books to HAlfPrice books today and got $30!! I was expecting, like, $7!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ugh - power just went out at the office (laptop is running on battery power, yay) including the A/C *and* my rotating fan. Suddenly it's very warm in here.
On the plus side, I have finally discovered a good Indian place that delivers and am pleasantly full of chana saag and naan.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Insane $45,000 racing bike weighs less than your lunch
What happens when you let a bike builder go nuts to create the lightest road racing bike possible? You get this amazing 6-lb machine build by Fairwheel Bikes in Tuscon and exhibited over the weekend at the Interbike Show.
My bike weighs 43#, a fact I am reminded of every time I carry it up two flights of stairs.

Pepper spray ring will almost definitely be used by accident
This ring hides a secret, and that secret is pepper spray. If someone gets a little too close, simply pull the latch on the side to give them a face full of hot, burning powder. What could possibly go wrong?
The included spray causes "inflammation of the eye capillaries and all other mucous membranes, resulting in immediate temporary visual impairment, difficult breathing, coughing, choking, sneezing, severe burning sensations to the eyes, nose, throat and skin, and nausea, with acute symptoms and discomfort lasting for 45 minutes," which sounds downright delightful. Luckily, a ring isn't something you'd fiddle with while bored or antsy, so there's really almost no chance at all that you will accidentally spray yourself in the face with this while stopped at a red light or something. Nope, no chance at all.
