Batteries and Phobias and Stephen King

So this is the battery from my MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, the laptop is out of warranty and the battery wasn’t one of the recall batteries (although I thought it ought to have been, I mean, look at it!). I’m a Windows user for the most part so it was a lightly used machine, [...]

Winner

So I entered a contest at Hair Thursday for Pureology NanoWax. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d win. I don’t win these things — a million other people enter and the random number generators don’t like me. But I won! Yay! She did have five contests going on at once, so [...]

So Far This Weekend

Sorry guys for the lack of updating. YB came to visit this weekend, and we were out doing other things instead of paying attention to basketball. Actually, we talked about basketball a lot more than we do relatively, but it was a v. low absolute amount of basketball. Still, I heard enough [...]

This Can’t Be Happening

CT’s new secret strategy, the one she refused to discuss when she visited me, the one I laughed at her for, was worth keeping secret after all. She’s in the LEAD!!! Whaaaaaaaa?!
Here, look for yourselves:
Let me say again, whaaaaaaa?! She missed one game! ONE! Actually though, as a group, we [...]

Random Thoughts

Amongst canned root beers, Mug’s is better than A&W — more flavor, not so sweet, more bubbly. I should say though, that all three tasters (misa, yut, and me) prefer Coke to Pepsi. But in our defense, I found a Taster’s Choice article which agreed! Oh but one thing I want to [...]

Crafts Fair

Yesterday there was a String Band competition (part of the Old Time Music Convention) and Crafts Fair going on right next to the farmer’s market. Lunch AND (fun) shopping and live music! Although the music was all banjos and whatnot, and I heard one older lady complain about the noise, so I suppose [...]

There are FOUR lights!

Fringe premiered last night on Fox with all the right ingredients (in a way). I mean, it’s got JJ Abrams, the dude who’s producing the next Star Trek movie (although without Capt. Picard…), and who did Felicity (never watched it), Alias (didn’t like it), and Lost (sooo addictive when it’s good!). Starting next [...]

This Is Why Weekends Always Seem So Short

There’s a new Staples in town, and I guess they sent out little presents like, “come check us out” sorta thing, including a $25 coupon. Well this weekend was basically the last weekend to use it, so yesterday we spent over an hour walking up and down the aisle of Staples trying to figure [...]

So Happy Together?

Evidently, Amazon thinks that flat irons and Super Smash Bros. Brawl go together. In fact, not merely go together, they are BETTER TOGETHER! Seriously though, much as I love to multitask, even I can’t figure out how to flat iron my hair AND play Smash Bros. at the same time. Eat ice [...]

2 Weekends Ago

That last post reminded me, I’ve been meaning to put up photos from the manicure/pedicure for 2 weeks now. Gawd I’m slow. Anyways, I went with Julie to Fusion Nails & Spa. Going with Julie was nice cos she knows whatall is going on, so she helped me pick my colors (red [...]
