Durp

Submitted without comment.

Still owing a real entry. Also, I'll probably do another one of these tomorrow, because we're hanging out at my parents' house this week and have a lot of tabs building up on their machine. This dump is from Heath's compy again; mine is still kaput. Sad.

Minidump

O hai.

My computer is broken! D: I don't know why yet. Gotta consult with Ben at some point. It keeps rebooting on its own, giving me a different lengthy blue-screen-of-death error every time, and not for long enough for me to read them. So I've been using Heath's laptop instead for a few days, which makes it super important to keep tabs on my tabs.

Here are some carseats I've been looking at:

And here are some random womanish things I want to get around to reading:

That's it for now. I want to yammer about Daniel soon, though. He is psycho cute and is working on walking. :o

Dumptruck

Well, Tuesday was yesterday, but whatever. I started this in the morning, and then unexpectedly got to go hang out with my mom all day instead. Hooray!

Anyway, following up from last week, here's the cleanout of my main FF window. Hooray hooray!! Now, if I start doing this on a weekly basis, maybe it won't get away from me so often anymore.

Not really an answer

I got hung up on this one, too, but I at least started it on the right day (Wednesday).

~

Here we are! The big finish! And our prompt iiiiiiiis...

"Day 30 - Your favorite song"

...Really? That's what we're going out on? I don't even have a favorite song, man. Lame.

I was going to make a list of songs that I extra super love, but I'm too paranoid about making it comprehensive. Bahhh!!! I give up.

Right now I am obsessed with Anaïs Mitchell's Hadestown, and you should be, too.

If this appeals to you even slightly, go out right now and spend the $14.

Trust me. You will thank me, and thank her, and fall over.

And then fall over again and again and again.

And so, that's the end of the challenge month! That was fun even if I was erratic about it. thanks to those who have read and commented! I will continue to look for ways to be interesting. :)

They think they are wise

Look, I'm posting on time!

"Day 29 - In this past month, what have you learned?"

Uh.... I dunno.

*looks at planner*

Groundhog Day is a good movie.
Everyone's utilities bills got psychotic lately, not just mine. How nice.
How to solve the Rubik's Cube's first-layer corners and second-layer edges at the same time. (Still working on getting it as fast as the rest of my solving. My new record on the old method is one minute, by the way!)
Heath is really good at constructing Magic decks. (He was in a tournament and got the highest score but lost to the winner.)
Babies get you psychotically huge tax refunds!
Relatedly, being totally out of school debt feels goooooooooooood. :D
I still really, really, really like to dance.
I am still afraid of insinuating myself into groups of dancing people.
With prayer, I can give a super good talk even if I'm banging my head on the table through the whole preparation time.
I'm kind of a jerk sometimes.
Andy and Joanne and kids are awesome.
OMSI is awesome. It has a room for little little kids that I wish was next door to me. Daniel really likes those tables with the beads on big wires. Apparently they're cheap at IKEA.
Also, there was a mummy, and I solved a horse puzzle.
Raw fish is not terrible, and eel is pretty good, and egg sushi is deliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicious.
My friend Brendan is super helpful, and a given Baskin Robbins probably doesn't have a changing table.
Hadestown is the best thing. The best thing.
A bunch of other stuff.
Heath does super well at interviews!
I love Summer and Courtney like mad and miss them.
I'm good at shopping. Actually, I already knew this.
Secretariat was the coolest horse.
Apparently you can milk Minecraft squid.
Heath: still fun to smooch.
My new Boba baby carrier is awesome.
Avoiding drama doesn't help, because it finds you.
I can and must write scripts faster.
Church choir is way easier when my mom-in-law comes and takes care of Daniel. Thanks! <3
Nicole's concerts are awesome, and going to them makes me miss being pregnant, because last time I went Daniel galloped around me the whole time.
People are really cruel and horrible and obnoxious sometimes.

I guess that's enough? I'm probably missing something major or deep, but I don't know.

Events from the past few days: Heath got into his grad school program! :DDD Now he officially gets to become a teacher! And I got my Boba and my own copy of Hadestown and they are awesome.

On the negative side, I had a headache for four days. And today was miserable for everyone, because Daniel's next four teeth have decided to come in all at the same time, and nothing is helping. He's been frantic with pain and unwilling to nurse. There was some respite when we went for a walk, but mostly there has been lots and lots of inconsolable crying. And I broke a glass.

Tomorrow is something I want to be excited about, but mostly I'm sad for my baby, and scared he'll cry all day again, and scared that I'll completely lose my mind from the stress of it.

Windowdump

Tabdump Tuesday is back! Today I will get rid of all my auxiliary Firefox windows.

Quotes of a day!

Oh, I meant to post this a long time ago! There was a 24-hour period last week in which people kept saying fantastic things to me. Here are the best examples:

"guns don't kill people - monkeys with robot arms (and guns) kill people"

"Speaking of hazing, I have a Kappa Kappa Psi branding iron in my car."

"Did you know you can milk squid?"

What, why, whoa

Blah! As you can see by the fact that I've gone several days without getting around to it, that one is too hard. What is this, school? I'm pressing on. :P Maybe I'll get back to it later.

Luckily, the next several are super easy:

"Day 26 - What do you think about your friends?"

What does this even mean? Does anyone really say anything other than "OMGooberzzz my friends are the BEST!!"?

Because, sorry guys. MY friends are the best.

(Though I wish some of the ones who are into hanging out actually lived in the same town/state/country as me. I should probably meet more people. Bahhhh, I hate actively trying to meet people. It is a wilderness.)

"Day 27 - Why you are doing this 30 day challenge"

Because I like babbling, and I like prompts, and because Allanna was doing it and it looked fun, and because it contained several things that I already wanted to talk about.

"Day 28 - A picture of you from last year and now - How have you changed?"

About a year ago.

About five minutes ago.

The difference is subtle! Can you figure it out?
