It started cos I needed more RAM. And a new video card. And probably a new processor. &c&c!
There it is, the old computer.
I know we coulda bought a whole new computer from Dell or HP or whatever, probably for as cheap/cheaper, and it’s not like I overclock or anything. But I thought [...]

New!
Agility: 0
misa and neb came by yesterday, and after lunch we went bicycle browsing, cos I’m thinking about getting one. We went to the Missing Link Bicycle Cooperative where they tried to find a bike that would fit me. I haven’t ridden in years (maybe up to 20), so I’m sort of intimidated by [...]
Couch: A Saga. Sort of.
We finally decided to get rid of our old couch last weekend. It was due — the middle seat’s support beam was broken, plus it was old. Since misa and neb were looking to sell their old couch we figured it was a sign! (I dunno why I’m all about signs this [...]
Thwarted
A while back, I ordered a Nikon 18-200mm VR lens for $750 (reviewed by Thom Hogan if you want to see a picture of the lens next to my current lens or check out some specs). I know, I know, crazy expensive! But I figured it would cover a lot of the focal [...]
Milestones
We finally finished Phoenix Wright: Justice for All, a Nintendo DS game where you try cases, but honestly, it’s fun! Hard to describe though. It’s actually the second Phoenix Wright game — the first was Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. If you haven’t tried (ha, inadvertent) the first one, it’s okay to pick [...]
Tissue: A Product Comparison
Since we’ve gone through over a box of tissues in a week or so, I thought I’d share this: Green Forest tissue is better than Seventh Generation tissue. Not only is the Green Forest tissue softer than the Seven Generation stuff, it’s got a higher percentage of post-consumer recycled paper (both 100% recycled paper, [...]
Recommendables
I’ve uploaded a bunch of photos from the break. If it seems like all we did was eat, play wii, play cards, and play Scrabble, then you got a pretty accurate view of the trip. =) Hope everyone had a nice holiday season.
I’m not much of one for resolutions cos they always seem [...]
Anti-Chafe
After we saw A Shopper’s Guide to Home Tissue Products, we decided to switch over to brands with more post-consumer recycled content. We’ll be switching things as we finish up what we already have, but I mean, as far as napkins or paper towels are concerned, I’m pretty whatevers. HOWEVER! Y’all know [...]
Sparkly
Walked into Sephora to look at their makeup brush selection on Saturday. Walked out with 0 brushes (they are hella expensive!) but 1 sparkly eye shadow/liner by LORAC (what does that stand for? why’s it all caps?) in Midnight Sparkle, cos at least it’s black so it’ll be more practical (than pink or [...]
Menstrual Cups and Whatnot
I’m going to speak mildly frankly about menstrual stuffs, so if you are easily squicked out, consider yourself forewarned.:p
A few years back, I happened to see Instead Softcups for sale somewhere, and since I was interested in a tampon alternative, I picked up a small package of them. The idea was, I would use [...]
