cutting and looking at the pieces of scanned images of me i'm using for my spanklin' new design i see it, though. there's a pretty eye. there's a nice, full mouth. there's some nice hair. argh. how come those pieces don't come out looking all nice when put together?
ridiculous.
socializing and electric grills
funny. yesterday i was whinging about cutting myself off and avoiding social contact. today i'm leaving the library a bit early to go visit maria. she called me last night as i was in the midst of practising my current electric grill obsession.
we've had it for years, yet it took me until a few weeks ago to discover just what a great thing it is. no more soggy micro-waved pizza's and cheese sandwhiches for me! i've been having proper crusty grilled cheese sandwhiches for about two weeks now, and i highly recommend it. it's also wonderful to roll large pieces of bell peppers in oil and spices and grill. yey i'm so a fat lady!
actually, i'm not into the show two fat ladies much at all. sure, i appreciate their sarky comments, but i just don't go for lard-soaked tomato puddings. also, there's something wrong with having nailpolish on while mashing and kneading things. or maybe i'm just a big old hypocrite. could be.
but anyways. maria called, and we spoke quite a while. i was surprised to find so many words to use in the conversation, too. lately i've been one of those horrid conversation stoppers. you know - those nasty people who just wait for you to say something that they can respond to, but with a response that doesn't offer much to weave an entire conversation on.
it happens regularly that i run out of words. it usually lasts a couple of weeks, and then zoom - i'm back to being able to talk an owl's ears off again. like one of those wind-up toys who all of a sudden run out of wind and has to wait a few weeks to get noticed and wound up again.
well well. i guess it's time for me to pull out of poo-poo face mode and reclaim the chatterbox inside, eh?
today i learnt...
...how to put an apostrophe into javascript code, thanks to dylan. in fact, i have more thanks to give him and now seems to be a good time to give them - thank you for looking again and again and again at pages when i ask you to, and for giving me good input and advice on what needs to be fixed and often how to fix it. thank you for being my guineapig. yey. :)
