I am hanging out at ’s place while she is at work. I have been watching alot of shitty TV, but fortunately I brought my Cosmos DVDs with me so I have something stimulating to watch. I walked down to the post office to pick up a package for her earlier today, and it was snowing pretty good. It’s a really wet snow, so it stuck to everything. Apparently a pipe burst in this building so there is no hot water, so I can’t take a shower.

I discovered that in addition to all it’s other wonderful online resources, I can access the Oxford English Dictionary through the Wallace Library at RIT. That’s badass, it’s nice to be able to use it legitimately..

CNN (television) is currently running a story on blogs. They are saying the words blog, blogger, and blogosphere over and over again. This is draining my will to live.

1. What’s the most daring thing you’ve ever done? I’m honestly not sure…

2. What one thing would you like to try that your mother/friend/significant other would never approve of? I’d love to go skydiving.

3. On a scale of 1-10, what’s your risk factor? (1=never take risks, 10=it’s a lifestyle) I’d say a 6 or so… Nothing super crazy, but I am not a complete wuss either.

4. What’s the best thing that’s ever happened to you as a result of being bold/risky?

5. … and what’s the worst? I broke my arm skiing outside of my ability once. But that didn’t stop me, and I got much better in the following years.

Casa Bonita is real! (via boingboing)

I’m heading off to Boston in a little bit, but first I have to fill up maude, get some food, and mail a book I sold on half.com before I can hit the highway.

My parents found this mug in the kitchen cabinets when they were being emptied for the renovations. Probably not work-safe.

Thanks to My Roommate, Jon Parise, I am now an Orkut whore.

So and Cansu did finally show up, and we made it into Manhattan around 5ish. We met up with Cansu’s friends who weren’t actually from Manhattan but from Delaware (Manhattan was a mid-point). They were good people, and it was good to get to know them and Cansu, as well as hang out with rory. We hoped to get together with who I had kinda forgotton lived in the area, but he didn’t want to do dinner, and by the time we finished with that Rory was pretty beat so we headed straight back.

They are leaving in the morning, but it was great to spend the day with them.

In other news, Alton Brown owns.

is supposedly visiting today with his girlfriend, but he said he was going to be here between 11a and 12p (because they had to meet people in Manhattan at 1pm). But I haven’t seen or heard anything from him, so I am not expecting to see them today, but who knows. I didn’t really have any plans for today, so sitting around waiting really isn’t terribly inconvenient.
