two of my friends are emailing me a lot today because they're bored at work.
i'm sending them links to try to keep them entertained, and now i'm getting links from them, too. here are some of them:
links i sent:
* top left pixel
* the believer magazine's motel reviews
* ephemera now
* astronomy picture of the day
links i got back:
* charo & tina's moist towelette collection
* watch me eat a hot dog
* orkut
this morning i got breakfast in bed. well, i got bacon in bed. ray is learning how to cook bacon just how i like it (flat and crispy), and he enjoys trying to get it just right. consequently we've been eating a lot of bacon lately. it was nice, though, to have hot meat in bed this morning. (heh heh.)
i need to start posting my divaville playlists here. i think that would be a good thing to do. promotion of the show and all. (thursday nights from 6-8pm on WXDU!) so here's last night playlist, and here's a link to a page about the show. enjoy.
i'm thisclose to buying a new domain name and moving everything i've got (including this blog) to a new host. my web life is just so scattered right now. everything resides on, like, 5 different servers. it's totally dumb. i'm considering moving to dreamhost.com, mostly because i like their "about us" page. oh, and their plans seem very good, too. :-) if you have any suggestions on web-hosts, though, please pass them along. i'm thinking i'd like to really get moving on this and maybe have whole new website going by the end of the month.
gosh, isn't that funny? like i don't have enough on my plate right now. one of my co-workers just stood here, slack-jawed, when i told her i was painting this weekend. she said, "you are the most productive person i know. i want to be like you."
i'd like to be a little less like me, though... i want long evenings to sit in front of the fire and do crossword puzzles. i want romantic jaunts to the mountains. i want crazed weekend shopping trips to NYC with my girlfriends. but there's just too much damn crap around the house to do.
my problem, i think, is that it still hasn't really sunk in that i own my house. i mean, conceptually i know i own it... but for some reason i feel like i need to fix it up FAST in case i have to move out soon. i'm having a hard time embracing the idea that i might actually live in this house for more than, say, 3 years. (that's about the maximum amount of time i've lived in any one place.) this rapid-paced fix-up is wearing me out. plus, in the last week i've only managed to get one more square knitted for the baby blanket. i'll be glad when my 2nd job with the durham symphony starts up next week and i can just sit there and knit for 3 hours while they're rehearsing.
of course, depending on what dr. nunley says at my foot-appointment on monday, i may not be working with the symphony for a while. i really need the money, though. now that the squirrels seem to be gone, we're being invaded by mice... i'm trying to figure out whether i should just let the cats deal with them, or call an exterminator. the cats are a much cheaper alternative. cuter, too, i'll bet.
