First I brought you Naked Quidditch. Now I must ask, what if Lord of the Rings had been written by someone else? You can find a sample of a version by Ernest Hemingway, Danielle Steele, Dr. Suess, and many, many more. Much laughter, to the point of tears. Good stuff – go read! [via Dick]
(But in your haste to go read, please don’t forget to leave me a comment! Please?)
As I read through Robyn’s “Top 25 in 2002” list, I was reminded of her whole food neuroses thing, and I just had to giggle about one of my own.
I can’t stand it when the margarine, butter, soft cream cheese, whatever is uneven. When I scooped out margarine to put it on my sandwich earlier before putting it in the sandwich maker machine, I had to do this swirl thing that must be done to keep it level. It has to be level. Absolutely no big scoops of margarine out of my container – and if you do it, I’ll sit there and make it smooth and level again. Can’t stand it any other way.
So, what sort of neurotic food issues do you have? Come on, you can share. It’s ok – I don’t bite. Well, only if you say please… So talk to me!
I decided it was time to break in the sandwich maker that Kymberlie gave me for Christmas, so I picked up some cheese, ham & bread for grilled cheese sandwiches when I was at the store earlier. Yummmm… cheesy goodness! They were soooo good!
By the way – she picked that off of my wishlist. If you ever want to find out if a blogger has a wishlist and you want to look their info up in one central location, you should check out I Wish, You Wish! I promise, it will make your life easier!
Mmmmm… grilled ham & cheese. YUM!
Today was day two of what had to have been one of the most boring temp assignments ever. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to be paid to do nothing. And I actually finished my Holiday cards. Yes, I mailed some more out today. The day after Christmas. But you know, being Holiday cards, and this is still the 12 days of Christmas and all… I refuse to think of them as late. Anyways, on Monday I maybe answered the phone 15 times. Today? I answered the phone 3 times. THREE times. So while it’s really cool to get paid for this, it’s depressing at the same time. I have talents that are just going to waste here, people! Oh well, at least I got half way through one of Kymberlie’s books. I had been warned before I went in on Monday that it would be incredibly quiet and that I could read or do whatever I wanted to while I was there.
So here I am off at work, and what do you guys do? You leave about 20 snowballs in my comments! Well, it’s about d@mn time! (Oh. Bad pun.) Now I’ll have to start going around and tossing them at everyone else!
Kudos to Solonor for the delightful Bloggers Night Before Christmas! Absolutely wonderful!
My kitchen counter is clean! No more fragrance oil bottles all over the place! It no longer looks like a meth lab! (Yeah, brown bottles of all sorts of sizes all over the counter is an amusing site.) It’s a holiday miracle!
It’s 43 degrees outside now. 24 hours ago it was about 75 degrees. Quite a change, but I prefer the cold! It helps with the holiday spirit!
