They always are.

Timelies all!

Some serious thunderstorms here.aa(that was courtesy of Mr. Grabby Hands)

I like Pascal's Triangle a lot more than his Wager, personally.

About to climb outside my comfort zone and go to an inaugural neighborhood wine gathering organized on nextdoor. I don't know these people! I don't think- I'm pretty sure some I may know on sight.

It's going to be monthly, different people hosting, byob, the whole concept to meet neighbors you might otherwise not. Gonna drive even though still in the hood, just because it is possibly the furthest reach from here in the hood and it will be dark and possibly stormy when it ends.

Hope it is fun, sarameg!

my hair is lue! A little. I forgot to get a picture at the salon, maybe I can do that now. It took 3 hours, because first she tried just adding the blue without bleaching in the hopes that it would look interesting over the gray, but that just didn't work so we had to start over. I'm happy with it now, though, and she is already talking about transitioning to other colors since we have the bleach to work with. ANd I didn't come back to a huge pile of work from stuff metaphorically exploding while I was out, so that's nice.

Which religion has the best heaven?

Judaism doesn't really have either heaven or hell. As close to an official belief as we get is "There's something after death, but we're not really sure what."

Cool, -t!

Have fun, sara!

Question for the people: Do you know that non-broadcast, non-cable TV is called "over the top"?

Oh dear Lord. I'm signed up for an online survey service, and tonight there was one that involved watching a TV pilot and doing the whole focus group thing afterwards. I gave my word that I wouldn't reveal specifics about it, but rest assured if this train wreck ever actually makes it to air I will be warning you all away from it as if it were the videotape from The Ring.

Somehow, my job now includes "Explain America to new Canadian coworker." This is actually kind of fun. Latest explanation needed was when he went to get his Social Security card, and the clerk asked what he did, and he said he taught at the university, and the clerk responded, "Oh, I went to [Something] Christian College, where they didn't teach us all that evolution nonsense."

And that was a lot of fun! About 25 people, got to talk with almost everyone, lots about houses, how we found here, neighborhood, where we're from. Oh and contractor reccs, hah! Another in. 2 weeks, then moving to monthly, sometimes on weekends. Lots of varied skills, styles, interests. God I love this neighborhood.

I'm gonna have to host one at some point. But will need to rearrange the furniture for it. This guy had the perfect house for entertaining.

And now I need to take out the recycling.
