Thumbs up: Internet is working again, no more latency issues! They installed a new line just now.
Thumbs down: The end of two years of free cable TV thanks to their removing the filter when it broke. They put a new one on with the new line.

thumbs up: king cake!
thumbs down: heater not working, again.

That may be my problem, too. I actually prefer dense columns of text, which is probably why I'm not so big on Twitter, either. I really dislike being limited as to how much I can write, too.

55 degrees tonight, I was grilling out! We were inside, since the outside of my place is even smaller than the inside, but we had the door open most of the time to keep it cooled off.

Seven people work far better than a heater.

Where's noodle been? I suppose it's only been a week since he last posted, so I probably should miss him quite yet, but alas.

I ate him with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Having looked it I think I'll just add that to the list of internet things I just don't "get" like tumbler and almost like Twitter. I sort of get Twitter, but I am terrible at remembering to use it or check it. I fail at Twitter.

Wow. That's low miles for that old of a car.

My first car was a 1976 Oldsmobile Starfire. I bought it in 1996, 20 years old. It had 76000 miles on it.

It was also a death trap.

Speaking of, I should turn JavaScript back on in Chrome before I wonder why it isn't working sometime.

Platypi007

If you turned off Java
JavaScript. Mixing these up can cause loss of limb or major injury. Tell your kids: Java and JavaScript are two completely different things.

Loss of limb? Wow.

My only camera is my phone and it dislikes taking photos indoors... I have no idea what you are talking about pinning, though.

Holy cow, that sounds amazing. I've tackled pandoro enough times that I think that I could do this. I may just try one of these days. As for a pasta roller, we have the old, metal kind and it worked just fine. I would prefer a wider one, though, since I want to be able to roll my pasta in big enoug...

Baking!

King cake! (Well, the isn't much smell yet, the dough is in the second ferment. In about 3 hours I'll be smelling it as it bakes!) My king cake recipe for those interested. I don't think I mentioned just how sticky the dough is in the recipe, but it is pretty lose and sticky. It is a high hydration ...

I laugh at everyone who couldn't use Wikipedia on Wednesday. If you turned off Java or used it mobile it worked just fine. In other news: quite happy with how that while thing went off.

I say grosh-ree and real-tor. I say caw-fee, too. I think most southerners do the first and last ones, the middle one I'm not sure, I think it's some of each way.

We have snow! There is nothing more fun then playing with a dog in the snow! The last time it snowed here I was dogsitting the two dogs I mentioned in the pet pics thread. I loved getting them out in the snow to run around and play! (However, the yard they play in, an uninhabited house the owners o...

Wow... I am in awe.

Awesome! :D

I love having my heater fixed, the previous two nights have been a bit chilly without it!

I didn't even realize they were doing East and West versions of Pax now. But Boston is far too far for me to travel and I couldn't afford to go even if it wasn't, I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure that I can't use my convention budget at the church to go to PAX. :D

I love the first time it rains while I'm driving after I've put a new coat of Rain-X on my windshield. I'm weird like that.

Loving the beautiful spring weather we're having lately. I enjoyed the afternoon yesterday sitting on my porch reading. Friday I spent it cleaning a nasty mess out of my trunk (I had only intended to clean the windshield but when I was looking for my squeegee I discovered a couple gallons of water i...

But that mug of hot chocolate is so much more worth it.
I dunno... I really like McDonald's hamburgers...

This is what I hate. I really like McDonald's hamburgers even though they aren't really that good of hamburgers or food. I hate it so much that I love them so much...

Earlier this week: yummy lentil soup! I've got two containers of it in my freezer and another still in the fridge. Yummm!

I've only played for about an hour so far. Boyfriend was in town and he was annoying me by "helping." He's been a gamer his whole life, while I only really played Starcraft as a kid and not much else. So my coordination and general skill is pretty low. Now that I've shipped him back off t...

I just got done with season 3, too! I loved the graduation scene when everyone is fighting. It was pretty cheesy but so awesome! Also, I did things kind of totally backward: I have seen all of Angel (most of the episodes twice) since the networks to run Angel but not Buffy for whatever reason. I sta...

I did put out my Christmas mugs. So I didn't totally fail to decorate. :)

And now they are not together, which makes me sad. But I am not going to fix it. They just need to "happen" to be next to each other to make me happy. :p

I love rum and coke.

I've been struggling for years with how to identify my religious beliefs. Up until a few weeks ago, I was trying to find a place for myself on the terribly broken model of Theists on one side, Atheists on the other and Agnostics in the middle. It finally clicked that it makes a lot more sense to gr...

Well, I voted for the wrong one... I meant to put "looks" but I had considered, and clicked "intelligence" and I didn't change it before I hit vote... I'm pretty intelligent, and I would love to have more intelligence, but I am not sure it would do as much good to me as improving...

I think I came to the site once because of the mention, but I didn't join. I joined after my friend Sara pulled me into one of the chats. I can't remember what her username here was, though.

Skyrim for Christmas from the brother. Thank goodness I finished grad school, because I have decided I will play that forever and not stop. Haha, yes... That game is quite addictive. I am sooo pissed at myself right now... Yesterday I had a quest glitch on me, and found out that the only way to fix...

I baked rolls to go with the soup my family had for our late Christmas get together with my dad's sisters (usually we see that side of the family on Christmas afternoon, but with Christmas falling on a Sunday both my dad and I had to work (he is a pastor and I'm a music director at a church) so we w...

I love that the "Things that I love" and "Things that I hate" threads seem to stay by each other. :D
