Books read so far this summer: 4
Books on-hold at the library to be picked up tomorrow: 4
Plus an additional book at the library for which I'm #8 on the waiting list.
I absolutely hate the term/phrase 'untimely death'.
Does no one here use Twitter?! I just searched for everyone I could think of and found only one person. (You weren't last, nor least, don't worry.)
I've been on there for awhile now but I admit I rarely update despite its extreme simplicity. I think I mostly ignore it because no one follows my status anyhow.
While I was watering the lawn last night (or, rather, watching the sprinkler water it for me), I was messing around in the driveway, shooting hoops. I didn't even have regular shoes on, just my pair of sandals. But man, I was hitting everything. At one point, I told Tracey that I thought I could hit any shot I took. I walked away from the basket, with my back to it, and flung the ball over my shoulder and it went in -- nothing but net. hahahaha
It was awesome.
(What do you mean this isn't the kind of life update you wanted?!)
Happy Birthday, Shesgot!!! Hope you have a great one!!
]]>I was born and raised in California. I lived there the first almost-24 years of my life.
Living in Kentucky for the past almost-five-years, people have many times assumed that I must be some kind of earthquake expert (okay, we were trained well in school, etc.). People assume I must have lived through The Big One(tm) or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof. People are often surprised to hear that nope, I never so much as felt a tremor my entire life.
]]>Anyone have (highly unlikely) or know someone who has (still unlikely) Jamstix 2XL? If so, maybe I could 'borrow' it...?
]]>Anyone doing something geekier than sitting on your computer on a Saturday afternoon, compiling a repair utility to attempt a fix on a 48GB gzip'd tarball?
Anyone? Anyone?
Never, ever, ever go to the Central Florida Regional Hospital in Sanford, FL.
Not even if you're dying. Perhaps especially not if you're dying, because you will certainly end up dead. Or worse, whatever that might be.
Go here and listen to the audio of the 911 call (toward the bottom under 'Related Links', labeled '911 Call: 'It's a nursery baby, I don't know who took it.'):

There's a reason Florida is the only state to have its own tag on Fark.
Watching 'In Treatment' makes me want to become a psychologist.
