1. It snowed again. Pretty sure I didn't sign up for this. This just better not mean that spring/summer is delayed even further this year. I hate the cold.

2. Watched K-HYD ep 20. Finally JD is GJP's personal maid! And poor, poor GE. But it's okay because her relationship with YJ totally had to take this path or it would never work out. Also, whenever I watch this show I have this craving for ramen. It always looks so good when they're eating it. Which is ridiculously often.

3. Am still in the process of looking for house #2. So many on the market that we haven't even begun to really narrow them down. My dad is supposedly going to go around taking pictures of the exterior and interior (the benefit of having a mom who dabbles at being a real estate agent is the ability to get into houses with lockboxes w/o having to call another agent). The vast majority are 1-story homes, not sure why that is, but I'd prefer a 2-story. When/if I get any photos and more details, I will be sharing so I can get your guys's opinions.

4. Played many, many games of Word Twist. Lost nearly all. Sigh. Damn you, [livejournal.com profile] ropo.

5. My monitor is spazzing. :( It was working just fine the day before, but yesterday when I turned it on it started doing some massive flickering. It was constant. I have a spare monitor so I'm not completely freaking, but this one is my 24" and fairly new still. Sigh. The sort-of-good news is that after a couple of hours it stopped and worked normally. This morning it went through the same process -- flickering for awhile and now it's fine. But it doesn't bode well. Since it seems to do it whenever it's turned off for a period of time, maybe the solution is simply to never turn it off...

6. Had a weird conversation with an old WoW "friend." I'm not sure what to call him. I'm cutting this as only [livejournal.com profile] jade_okelani and [livejournal.com profile] akscully have ever met him, so others may find this information less than interesting. So out of the blue... )

Why do they even bother putting "door close" buttons in elevators? THEY NEVER WORK. They're only there to frustrate people. Because when you TRY to use them, pressing or pressing and holding doesn't actually close the doors. The elevators are always programmed to wait a certain amount of time before closing, and they won't close a second sooner.

Remember those Meyer lemons I mentioned a post or two ago? I ended up making these cookies from the zest, and this lemon curd from the juice (think pie or tart filling).

I tried my first recipe from Chef, Interrupted. It was ... less than I might have hoped for. I'm not giving up on the book, I love Melissa Clark, but will probably aim for something a bit 'safer' next time. This one was just easiest at the time. (In fact I just found this, another one of her recipes that someone else tried, which sounds divine.)

I finally got a new iPod to replace my ailing one. The good and the bad. )

I'm so freaking spoiled. Well, or maybe I'm not spoiled, I'm deprived, and that's why stuff like this makes me feel spoiled. I had a 17-inch monitor at work, which I got about 8 years ago, and at the time it was totally cutting edge. Well, now it's pretty crappy in comparison to the monitors out there now, so I emailed our team's admin to see if I could get an upgrade. Given the economic climate and the budget tightening, I was expecting to be told no (I should have asked for one last year!). But an hour after I sent the email, she came into my office lugging a 22-inch Widescreen Samsung SyncMaster 220WM, all apologetic because she couldn't get me a 27-inch one due to budget constraints. Pffft, like I care? The new one is already eons beyond what I was using. It makes me giddy just to look at it. (Though it's still not as big as the 24-inch widescreen, also by Samsung, that I have at home. :D)

You know who I'm really enjoying, music wise? Jem. I don't know anything about her other than the two songs I've heard, but her sound is very unique and I like her voice. Plus the songs are good.
