What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
They've been doing television commercials for decades, P-Cow.
Seriously? I have never seen one before!

Maybe you weren't paying attention when they were blathering about Dianetics, and - as bon notes - showing off a volcano for extremely mysterious (space clams!) reasons.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I don't think I've ever seen a Scientology commercial.

Oh! Those Victorian fonts are delish.
I spent my day mostly consumed with programming the project due Thursday, making very little progress until the evening, when the problem (getting a Google geolocation service that would derive a zipcode from a lat/long value to work) finally fell into place, both conceptually and actually.
Needless to say, much of the rest of my life (getting a job, etc.,) has fallen by the wayside.

You guys! I found the fleece-lined tights on sale at Target over the weekend, and they are so awesome! Cozy and warm.

Kat, no news on the job front. I need to get more resumes out and thank you email to the interview people (I forgot to get cards from them, so now I have to call to get their names, ugh).
Today though, I have a GI dr appt at 9. I am pretty sure he is gonna say I have to have a colonoscopy which I am not at all wanting.

Everyone says the prep for the colonoscopy is way way worse than the actual procedure, FWIW.
