I have been considering buying myself a small present to celebrate, um, March or something. For instance, a Roomba or a Folding Cargo Bag for the car.
But then I remember that I am leaving for London on Wednesday! Certainly that is better than a Roomba! Good thing I already made an itinerary/list for London things:
Anyone know how to prevent the headphone balance creep (found in the Sound Preference pane) on an iBook? I have yet to find a reason why the balance shifts to the left or right. To make matters worse, I often do not even realize this has happened as I listen to Motown and girls groups where the mix can be dodgy to begin with. I was shocked to discover that all Marvelletes songs aren't mixed in the left audio only . . .
While I am certainly no stranger to contacting my elected representatives via ACLU, PFAW, et al, the usual response is a form letter and a signature that nearly looks handwritten but not quite. This morning I contacted my state representatives to oppose a proposed amendment to add language that "a marriage between one man and one woman shall be the only legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state" to the New Hampshire state constitution. And the state reps emailed back personally to tell me that they did oppose amendment. I feel like a 4th grader giddy on a civics lesson (much like the pumpkin lobby).
"Until December I had not really eaten chocolate for about 10 years. A gift of chocolate was, I believed, a veiled and hostile gesture to make me fat."
[The Chocolate Bar] is a small place, but everything is intriguing, from the Save CBGB's chocolates to the two incredibly handsome European men who sat in the window sipping cocoa one afternoon last week. But I digress.
Alex, honey, they just might not be that into you.
Then I mashed in the [chocolate] stove with my fork, and in bringing the pieces to my mouth, I felt like Saturn devouring his children in the Goya painting.
Surely she doesn't mean this image because that's not a pretty scene.
Excuse me, New York TimesThursday Styles, you seem to have forgotten to publish Ms. Kuczynski's Critical Shopper column. Surely this must be some oversight, or is she on undercover assignment on the silk and spice routes?
"In fact, it has been said that God is currently angry with America. But according to God's publicist, the Supreme Being would like to clarify that He's not angry, but that 'He would like His name taken off the credits.'"
and
"The state of our union? United — at least on one small thing. Despite our differences about the war, the economy, the environment, health care, education and Gulf Coast relief, let us come together to celebrate the sole issue we, as a nation, agree on: Anderson Cooper sure has swell hair."
