11:57 pm [Link]	Pass-on story (usual rules, continue the story in comments) On Tuesday, Martha discovered that she could fly. (and, hey, if you want to add to any of my older pass-on stories, the convenient tag is right there--please leave an OOC note here if ya do, though, so I know to look) Current Mood: bouncy Tags: pass-on story (Say something)

10:53 pm [Link]	Help me cook meat? I had a coupon for $5 on meat, so I got a small boneless cross rib roast--a bit under 2 pounds. Now, I don't get beef often. It's more expensive than chicken or pork. So I'd like to make sure that I turn it into tasty foodstuff, and I'm not sure how best to do that. I would be very sad if it turned out dry and flavorless or otherwise nasty... So, suggestions? Preferably as idiot-resistant as possible. Tags: adventures in cooking (4 things \| Say something)

11:52 pm [Link]	Minimalist movie review. 500 Days of Summer. Pretty decent, for a romantic comedy/light drama kind of thing. And a bit quirky for the type (which I consider a plus) Inspired me with a vague desire to do a flash mob of musical-style everyone-in-the-park-dancing-together kind of thing. And I was rather amused by the last bit. Tags: at the movies (Say something)

09:14 am [Link]	Please help me not be a moron. I have been being very, very bad about getting to bed at a reasonable hour, lately. Sometimes for halfway decent reasons, sometimes just for stupid. My AIM handle is tamtri. If you see me online (and not "away") between midnight and 7 am? Please, for the love of Mike (whoever he is), ask me why I'm not in bed, or tell me to go to bed, or something of the sort. It seriously does help, I lose track of time sometimes. (Say something)

03:41 am [Link]	Dreamwidth Well, I have a Dreamwidth account now (thanks, jecook !) It's tamtrible , just like on LJ. I don't expect to use it much, however, unless everybody abandons Livejournal entirely or something. If for no other reason than because I don't think I can post pointless little polls from a free account over here, and I like doing that occasionally. But if you, ya know, have a Dreamwidth account and want my account to talk to your account? Tell me here (either here will do). Current Mood: sleepy (Say something)

08:26 pm [Link]	Any computer jobs out there? My boyfriend needs a job (or freelance/contract work). He's some flavor of computer geek. Anybody have any Bright Ideas, or know of an opening? (not sure what exact flavor of computer geekery he does...) (3 things \| Say something)
01:47 am [Link]	Guess the songs 10 songs memie 1. Take the first ten songs off your MP3 player / playlist / etc. 2. Post one or two lines of lyrics. (No Googlewhacking!) 3. Have your readers guess what you're listening to! (Easy, huh.) ( Read more... ) Current Mood: Sickish (2 things \| Say something)

02:55 am [Link]	So, my glasses broke today. For a long time, one of the arm hinges of my glasses has been held together with thread (there was a screw that kept unscrewing, but it stopped doing that once I tied it together with thread). Today, one of the nose pads broke. Not unscrewed, actually broke. I was actually able to wear it with the nose pad missing, but it tended to slide down more than usual. Since I'm badly overdue for new glasses, I didn't want to spend $6 on getting new nose pads for the stupid things. So I frisked my apartment for glue. Couldn't find any, but I had some clear nail polish, so I used that. Seems to have worked. Glasses held together with nail polish and thread... that's probably about equal parts "girly", "nerdy", and "cheapass", right? ETA: Now it's nail polish, thread, and part of a cotton ball, the broken nose pad fell off. Need to get some new glasses, damn it. Current Mood: sleepy (3 things \| Say something)

12:39 am [Link]	Further annoyance... for the frelling traffic school? I apparently have to take the exam part in the presence of a notary. Yay, more expense and annoyance........... Anyone know where I can find a cheap notary? edit: Or perhaps I have to go through whoever they have, evidence is contradictory. In any case, I also have to figure out how to frelling pay them, since they don't take the only plastic I own. second edit: Or they could have been lying about that. Apparently I can pay with the flavor of plastic I have. (2 things \| Say something)

12:44 am [Link]	I made a community. It's called worldsharing. It's intended to be a place where writers, artists, RPG-ers, et cetera can post creatures, settings, items, and the like that they thought up and would like to share with others (primarily in the sense of "allow others to use"). Please join in if you care to? (Say something)

09:45 am [Link]	I have no time sense, and am Fail at life sometimes Got a traffic ticket back in April, for doing something stupid but basically harmless (right turn on red somewhere it's not allowed). Went in, got an extension thingie to attend defensive driving school instead of paying a fine. Tried to contact various defensive driving schools, to find out how much they were, at least the ones that don't have it listed on their website. Being a poor grad student and all, I wanted as cheap of one as possible. They didn't get back to me, not a one of them. Just looked at my paperwork today. I'm supposed to have completed a program no later than 7 days prior to 4 days from now. I'll probably be spending a few hours Monday going down there to get it sorted out. Maybe other time, too. Current Mood: Grarrrrrrr! (Say something)

12:26 am [Link]	Speak many languages at me?... At some point, I had a list of the phrase "I don't understand what this means" (or something like that) in various languages (implication/intonation of "I do not understand the meaning of the words I'm saying right now", not "I don't understand the meaning of this other thing over here") I have lost this list. Anyone want to help me start to recreate it? (romanizations preferred where relevant, things in Other Languages don't help much if I can't pronounce them) Current Mood: curious (Say something)

Zucchini, sliced (thick-ish) and nuked until I finish cutting the 'shrooms. Mushrooms (1/2 lb), quartered and nuked a bit Tomato sauce with Italian seasoning added, nuked until bubbly Cheese (Italian blend) added, nuked until melty. Wish me luck.

04:24 pm [Link]	I coulda seen Obama today... I wound up with a ticket to the commencement at ASU today, as a co-worker had a spare. However, I found out, when I was most of the way there (and about 8 minutes before 3:30, the time at which you were supposed to be there) that they'd make me throw out my umbrella. So I went back to work instead. I think someone was going to give my ticket to someone who'd lost his. (4 things \| Say something)
