You guys will be thrilled to know that as of Saturday night, I no longer think quinoa is pronounced "KWIN-OA".
MsBelle, happy 40th!! I have loved my year and a half of 40 so far. Hope you love it, too.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

"KWIN-OA"
I can't even remember how I thought it was pronounced but it certainly wasn't keen-WAH. Who knew?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Note to self: It's keen-WAH.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I don't remember what I originally thought it was, but I definitely remember it being one of those words that I read, and that I heard pronounced, and I had NO IDEA they were actually the same word.

For the longest time, I thought the plant Kalanchoe was pronounce Ka-lan-show. Nope.

When I was little, I had a friend named Xochitl. She must've had a hell of a time in school. Hippies.

Christmas tree lights all rolled onto their holders. That will fill another box. Then I need to decide how and where to store all the new outside decorations.

Home Depot was having a sale on tubs this weekend, for under $5, 20 gallon.
I like to think I keep my computer pretty clean. Blow out the keyboard with compressed air probably once a month, wipe it down with computer wipes. But I just vacuumed the keyboard. OMG damned cats. The fur just kept coming and coming. Ridiculous.

I have to take my keyboard a couple of times a year to clean all the keys. It gets so gross, what with the hair (mine & the little guy's), sticky fingers, dust and schmutz.
It gets to a point where I don't even want to use it. Plus, the cleaning process satisfies my ocd tendencies.
