Could not get the vending machine to give me food. It let me swipe my card, told me I had a credit of 3.75 and then inexplicably reduced that to $1.25 when I tried to open the little slidey door and would not open.
Making do with raiding my candy dish.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Got a cavity filled at the dentist this morning. Luckily, by lunchtime the numbness had worn off.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I don't do podcasts; people yammering when I'm trying to work makes me very nervous and irritable. So I used to drive my coworkers crazy playing whale songs and Dan Gibson's Solitude albums: rain, surf, trickling creeks, and birdsong. I can do music, but no lyrics because they get tangled up with text or what I'm working on. And a pounding beat will turn me snapping vicious.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I can't do podcasts or audiobooks if I need to pay attention to what I'm doing. Unless it's a book I'm already familiar with - I have cassettes of Sherlock Holmes and Harry Potter (thanks, msbelle!) in the car. I like music when I'm studying, but I'm like Bev - no lyrics because they get mixed in with the subject at hand.

Timelies! I'm checking in from gorgeous Halifax, where I've been having a lovely vacation. Tonight Sue kindly met up for drinks, dinner, and a delightful conversation. It was so nice to meet you, Sue!

It's starting to get creepy how much we are the same person, because I am the same way -- I can't listen to an audiobook while I'm driving unless I've already read it. Otherwise I focus on it and not on the road, which is bad.

I tend to focus on the road and lose track of what's going on in the book. Which, if you'll forgive my saying, feels like the wiser choice.

Driving is one of those tasks where it takes just enough of my attention that other parts of my brain can get some good thinking done. Like how people get good ideas in the shower. Having a short commute might be messing with my ability to come up with solutions to my every day problems, come to think of it. Interesting.

I'll lose track of what I'm listening to and need to rewind in traffic or going somewhere unfamiliar, but on long stretches of interstate audiobooks are my friends.
