Wednesday Weirdness

I figured out the problem with Blogger; it wasn't them at all, it was the new Internet Explorer 8. Now that I'm using Google Chrome, it's all better. More points for Google!

2. Have you ever tried or considered trying a Master Cleanse type method to lose weight?

Ugh, hell no. I would rather wear an extra few pounds than turn into a grumpy bitch for a month. I'll exercise, thanks.

3. When you browsing a book store for reading material, do you find yourself checking out a book solely based on the cover design?

Sometimes; it depends on what I'm looking for. Mostly I hang out in the poker section, where I choose my books by their reputations and authors.

4. Which 80's trend were you least happy to see come back this year; big shoulder pads or neon?

I haven't noticed big shoulder pads (although they sound enormously stupid) and I don't mind neon. What, I like the 80s look!

5. How long do you think could you disappear for until someone would notice your absence and start looking for you?

Not long. The real question is, How long could I keep them from finding me? Quite a while!

6. Have you ever walked out of a movie and asked for your money back? Which movie(s) and why?

Nope, never done that.

7. Have you ever changed your plans because of something you read in your horoscope?

Hell no. That stuff is bullshit. They're funny to read sometimes, but only as entertainment.

Sweet Shot

Check out this amazing pool trick shot! All I can say is, "Holy shit..."

And if you've run into somebody you're not fond of recently, insult them.

Flower Boxes

The weather is finally nice, and I couldn't be happier about it. This winter was so cold and nasty...probably not any colder and nastier than usual, if you look at the numbers, but I'm sicker than usual of the cold. Since it was warm and sunny last weekend and everybody's flowers and flowering trees were popping up, I decided to do a little gardening myself. But where to do it? The yard is entirely grass, interspersed with some bare dirt and some bushes by the house. So what was the obvious solution? A carpentry project, of course!

...side note: Blogger still won't let me paste things, so these links are all hand-copied. If any of them are broken, let me know.

Me with my favorite tool - the power drill:

Snaille Maille

I haven't been posting too much lately because I haven't had much to post...at least that's what I thought. Now I think I just haven't been paying attention to what I could have been posting. So I'm going to put a little effort into catching up this weekend.

Firstly, since I'm no longer working at Bdubs (more on that another time), I've decided to get serious about my hobby of chainmaille jewelry and turn it into a business. Check out my Etsy, The Snaille's Maille, and if you like my pieces, recommend me to your friends! I'm going to print up some business cards, too, but I haven't designed them yet. Until then it's word-of-mouth...which is the best advertising, after all.

Funny Cats

Thank my friend Tiger for the latest funny cats video...this one is a combination of old clips and new ones. Enjoy!

Wednesday-Thursday Weirdness

Blogger is failing - it won't let me do the simple operation of copy-and-paste! So Wednesday Weirdness is a day late and hand-typed. Oh well, here it is anyway.

1. What items (if any) do you get embarrassed to purchase?
I don't. After being a cashier for a while myself, I realized there was a point where nothing really seemed weird anymore. I will not be embarrassed until I'm the woman who paid a $13 bill with a huge jar of pennies and nickels.

3. Do you untie your shoes every time you take them on and off or do you slip them on and off?
Depends on the type of shoes. Standard sneakers I will tie and untie, but my skateboarding shoes are slip-ons.

4. What is the last thing you broke by accident?
As opposed to the last thing I broke on purpose? I remember the last thing I watched be broken, which was a glass at the Hatfield Pub...but I don't remember the last break I perpetrated.

5. If you had to lose one of your body parts, what would it be and why?
If I could choose a small, unnoticable one, probably a toe. The average person can function just fine without one toe, and most people never even have to know.

7. If you could have the ability to solve problems quickly and easily or the ability to know without doubt every time a person told a lie, which ability would you want and why?
I'd choose the first, because I'm already reasonably good at the second.

Wednesday Weirdness original post #52.

Wednesday Weirdness

1.) What condiment goes best with french fries?
Definitely ketchup. There's no other option.

2.) What condiment do you feel best represents your personality?
Spicy mustard! It may look innocent, but watch out...

3.) If the love of your life was a different religion from you, would you convert for them if they asked you to?
Why would they ask me to? I don't care what religion they are as long as they don't try to convert me/other people. I would educate them if they wished, but I would never try to convert anybody.

4.) What is your favorite thing to eat with peanut butter?
Apples.

5.) If it were possible, would you want to know the day you were going to die?
Definitely not. It would probably change my life a whole lot, and not for the better. I want to concentrate on my life, not my demise.

6.) If you could change your eye color to anything in the world you wanted, what would you change it to?
Purple :) Really bright purple!

7.) Are you more often the partner in crime or the good conscience with your friends and family?
The partner. Hey, I haven't been arrested yet!
