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

HOLY CRAP, Google's logo today is a birthday cake that links to my G+ profile.

That's kinda creepy. But I'm not sure there's a non-creepy way for a website to wish you happy birthday.

I found this year that Google somehow has completely repressed my birthday this year. I don't recall setting something to NOT post it, but I'm too lame to figure out why it changed, much less how to change it back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Better than OK Cupid, which sends a "You're still single?" email.

Yeah, that's just wrong.

Sephora sends offers of make-up, that's pretty good.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hooray, the soup that I left simmering on the stove while I was at work (unintentionally, I meant to bring it to a boil when I woke up and let it cool down all day but I didn't turn the burner all the way off) did not all boil away and burn the pot! It actually looks very good, and there seems to be quite a bit of it.

And my dryer is deigning to work to the extent that it will spin on the "Air Fluff/No Heat" setting for 20 minutes at a time. It will take a long time to get my clothes dry at that rate, but it's faster than the one minute at a time it will work with heat. I think I remember it doing this before (it's the "lint filter alarm" that keeps going off, though the lint filter appears to be rather clean) and I must have fixed it somehow, but I sure can't remember how. I remember trying to vacuum out the lint trap but while I clearly remember being very frustrated that the crevice tool wouldn't fit into the opening I do not remember that that tactic ultimately worked. But I supposed I'd better try it again.

There is way more just in this load than I have room to hang, sadly. I am just not set up for that.

Except that the two makeup goodies that were part of my "Yay, it's your birthday month!" order turned out to be things I didn't like. However, the Thierry Mugler Angel gift box that I got with my Beauty Insider points? Awesome.

I need resume advice. I have a kick-ass resume that Strix created for me, and I love it. The recruiter I talked to today wants a different style of resume, where instead of having a big section that lists my skills/accomplishments, he wants a listing of what I did for each job. Which I can pull together, but that will make my resume HUGE. Should I only do that breakout for the past 5 years? Or should I create the enormous one?

It sounds like a pain in the ass, but having the huge one around seems like it couldn't hurt.

Speaking of lunch, I had yummy yummy Korean bib-bam-bip. With all the sides. I took the leftovers home, but I had to stop a few places, and now my car smells of fish cakes. Erm.
