Fantastic afternoon today. B & I went out for a walk to the bank to deposit checks, and took a shortcut through the woods behind the development next to ours. I dropped my sunglasses (of course—I lose more sunglasses than anybody else I know), and we turned back to go find them. Something in the [...]
One of my favorite easy breakfasts, pretty inexpensive depending on the exact ingredients you use, is Fruit & Rice. This morning, I used banana, since that’s what we had on hand (on sale at BJ’s for ridiculously cheap). It’s super easy, which is nice when I’m tired and hungry and don’t want to get started [...]
I’m not completely happy with my chopped liver recipe and how it turned out. It’s in the freezer for when I’ll get a chance to go see my grandmother and get her to help me fix it. In the meantime, I still need things to eat, so this afternoon, I broke out my old stand [...]
The income from a career in theater has been, well, much as I expected. Unfortunately, that isn’t high. I’ve been struggling lately between bills and income and the balance between the two, quite frankly, has not been what it should be. Two months in a row, I’m running in the red, and finally I decided [...]
I was on my way to an electrics job, when I was already halfway out from home and realized I’d forgotten my wrench. Since I was driving past my mom’s house, I just stopped by in there to see what I could find in her toolbox (an adjustable c-wrench shouldn’t be too hard to find). [...]
Of The Dead: DIE ZOMBIE, DIE!! (Update: purchased!)
Ceci n’est pas une pipe: not the version you might have known.

GearGrip Pro: When I got my new computer, I was actually thinking of trying to work up something like this so that I could carry the whole computer all together, what with all the back and forth I tend to do. I saw this and I thought, “Oh. I guess I don’t need to make [...]
Leatherman e306x/e307x
Absolutely beautiful. Leatherman now has knives in addition to their lovely tools. I’ve got a Juice xe6, which I adore. And now, they’ve got knives. I’ve wanted a knife for a while; I think this is the one I’ve fallen in love with.
Cool Hunting: Preserve Tableware
I really just don’t think these people get it. Really. Take something disposable and make it reusable. Sure, I understand we’re a country of wasteful people, the disposable nation. However, this concept won’t help that. If I want non-disposable plates that go through the dishwasher, don’t you think I’d instead prefer to [...]
kritha: Fashion and other concerns.
I really couldn’t sum up what happened closing night of Fashion. Fortunately, Lei did it for me. Since she plotted it all out, her version sums things up pretty well.
