It’s all bonus material today…with a few random items I’ve been meaning to post, along with some newer ones.
- This year’s Geek Prom is moving from Duluth…to my own backyard. I can almost see the Science Museum from my house.
- Last week I started drinking coffee again, regularly, for the first time in months. Stopped by the co-op and picked up some fair trade beans from a brand I hadn’t tried yet called Just Coffee, out of Madison, WI. I’m quite pleased with the heart palpitations it’s been causing.
- The other day a flickr friend was boinged. Bully for him.
- Last night a real life friend was in the St. Paul Winter Carnival Torchlight Parade…juggling fire while unicycling. I knew we should have gone down there. The little man would have gotten a kick out of it, even if the husband hates parades (with a passion).
- In the always disheartening department…the Department of Homeland Security is at it again, ever-vigilant against the vegan menace. Sigh.
- And, as expected, the husband hates my new eyeglasses (he told me straight up that they are ugly) but he is in the minority. And the new prescription, wow. It’s amazing to see everything so crisply and clearly again.
- After picking up the new glasses, I stopped by Saint Sabrina’s Parlor in Purgatory for some new jewelry. The place was flipping packed. Instead of having a piercer pop out my captive bead rings and stretch my lobes for me I was sent away to do it myself, with a pair of pliers and 8 gauge crescent rings. Getting my old jewelry out was the easy part, but I wussed out on the second step, and am going to have to go back to get my lobes stretched properly. Then maybe I could get summa these.
The boys didn’t leave the house yesterday (and I only stepped out briefly, to have my hairs cut). I think we should go somewhere today, but don’t have any exciting ideas. A co-op stop would be good. And I’d like to swing by Big Brain, to pick up the new Hellboy (thanks for the heads up Joe!), but that could potentially turn into an all-out spending spree, which is the last thing I need. But if I bring the little man along, that should guarantee I’ll spend less, as I won’t be able to focus my energies on browsing as much. Hmmm.
