Back in the old days, when the husband was working just one overnight part-time job, it was like we were playing host to a crew of magical house-elves. I would often wake to a sparkling clean house, with the dishes washed, the floors swept and mopped, and sometimes even find fresh baked goods (such as apple galettes) waiting for me. Now that he’s working two overnight part-time jobs it’s another story. If I wash all of the dishes before I go to bed, inevitably I’ll wake to find every glass and pan in the house is magically filthy again. Hopefully times will change. Again. For the better.
You know what a pair of winter boots for the little man cost me? $11.55, plus my first piece of negative feedback on ebay. Sigh. The seller had nothing to complain about. I paid her immediately after I won the auction, but now I’ll be paying even longer…with my rating dropping from 100% positive to 97.6%. After four days I had not received the item, or an email from the seller, so I took the initiave and contacted her. In return I received a rude response. But a day later the boots arrived, as described. So I left her a neutral feedback, mentioning that it hadn’t been the best transaction. How did she respond? By retracting the positive feedback she had already given me, and changing it to negative. People are people, I guess.
Continuing with the cantankerous news, I just found out what I’m missing. First, Bollywood Hungama, a screening of three Bollywood hits: Mohra, Munnabhai MBBS and Sholay took place this afternoon. And this evening, Palestinian-American comedienne Maysoon Zayid was at The Loft. Ignorance would have been bliss.
But in better news, the Upper Midwest Blog Managers Association is proud to announce that our very own Starfire, aka Scott Lunt, is definitely the best of the runner ups…in Coudal’s One Day Crash Ballet Contest. Compare the edits for yourself.
