Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm pretty sure edX is free, but I haven't started my course yet.
This weekend I'm picking up my CSA and probably just staying home. I'm in NYC 8/12-8/15, at VividCon 8/15-8/18, in SF/Mountain View during the week of 8/19 (currently scheduling exact dates), and at DragonCon 8/29-9/2. And probably in Canada the week after that.
in SF/Mountain View during the week of 8/19
SUSHI
And probably in Canada the week after that.
You misspelled Houston and New Orleans!
I have no earthly idea what I'm doing this weekend. Gardening maybe? Gardening sounds good, and rabbits have noshed a hole in the front of my plantings. And the local nursery's having a sale. Huh. Well, that was easy.
In Acrobat Pro, it's just Save As Excel Worksheet.
The person with the original spreadsheet is also the person with full Acrobat. I'm stuck with PDF Creator, which is a bit wilfull about anything you ask it to do, so I wouldn't even try this with it.
Except I really should, shouldn't I? Despite it having embarrassed me in front of all the company presidents yesterday...
Why is my spelling so much worse than it was ten (even five!) years ago?
I need to steal/be inspired by the style of wings on that owl--I'm having major feather blockage, and a few pictures that need it resolved.
This weekend I must - MUST - gird my loins and clean my entire wretchedly messy house. My reward will be to get to hire a cleaning service again.
I'm thinking of donating my huge heavy 1970's-era solid oak and mahogany desk to make room in my office for the treadmill. Because the treadmill is fucking up my feng shui in the living room. And because I don't really NEED a "real" desk anymore, being as I work almost exclusively from my laptop on the couch. But I kinda don't want to. I like my ridiculous space-eating dark-matter desk.
Although this house has more space, it has smaller rooms than I've had before, and most of my furniture is too big. Alas, I'm attached to most of my furniture. Dilemma.
I had been dreaming about pancakes for about 3 weeks. I have not had pancakes for about 3 years I think. I honestly don't remember the last time I had pancakes.
I had pancakes today. They were better than I had any right to expect. Just the bomb. I also had about 2 scrambled eggs (!) and sausage.
I was worried that I was going to have a sugar coma and crash soon after eating, but I'm okay. It wasn't the best, but I figure eating it once a year, I can deal.
I have no earthly idea what I'm doing this weekend.
Me neither AND IT'S FUCKING GREAT
SUSHI
I hope we can make it work! I'm currently waffling on where I want to stay. I think it'll make more sense for me to stay in a hotel in SF and take the shuttle down to Mountain View.
You misspelled Houston and New Orleans!
Well, if the work trip to Canada doesn't happen... (it'll probably happen, though.)
Oh, and Allstate redeemed themselves, for those playing along with the home game of My Life.
They have sushi in SF too, and wasn't there talk of taking you out for oysters?
Of course, lately I am not doing very well with being able to work in SF when people visit, but it could still happen.
