Some interesting stuff happened today. In the morning, first of all I was tired as hell cuz i was up till 3 writing christmas cards last night after getting about 5 hours sleep the night before. So any of you that may get a Christmas card, SAVOR IT! Hehe... So anyway, then I had to get up at 9ish so I could go to the post office for more stamps (I got really cool Pacific reef ones) and then go deposit checks at the bank before work, from which I was sent home early because it wasn't going to be busy enough to warrant having two people there. So there goes my $60. Oh well. Now I have time to blow some time on here and maybe even clean and wrap presents/make presents to wrap.

After I woke up, I was watching someone named Step on the NBC 10 morning show or whatever making cookies. I tried to remember the recipe or at least the amounts of sugar and eggs and flour he used so I could try it, but it looked like he was just using about 1.5 times the recipe I usually use. Which only clicked because the amounts he used was the same as those I used the last time I made 1.5 batches of cookies. So anyway, he's got all his stuff in a bowl, but he added the brown sugar last, which was interesting to me cuz that's usually one of the first things I add. Then the uppity bastard hosts were like, "why don't you use a blender to blend everything?" He says, "Well not everyone can afford a blender. I grew up in a family of ten kids, we never had one." "But they're like ten bucks." "Well some people can't afford them." The f**king nerve of those people. Now I personally don't use my blender to mix my cookie ingredients, mainly cuz my mom never used one for hers and I like her cookies, but also because it seems like the dough gets too smooth. Maybe it's something to do with the dispersion of the eggs or butter, probably the latter.

I saw a commercial for a Roomba, and I'm wondering if you have them on the second floor or something, do they know if they're at a step, or do they just go over the edge? If they do, maybe they should be built with a slinky mechanism. That alone would make it worth the $250 or whatever that they cost.

Damn martha stewart. I hate how she's a billionaire and has nearly monopolized the housewares section of K-Mart (the closest discount store to my house), cuz her stuff is pretty expensive, even if it is cool. She's nuts. I just realized her face looks a lot like one of my aunt's. Interesting.

Last night when dave and I got home from work, I took the dog out, then I came back up and as I was plugging the internet in to get a recipe for dave, and I saw something in the wall that wasn't there when I left. It's weird how stupid little s**t like that can make you feel a small surge of panic, like "oh my god someone was in my apartment and I had no idea." Given it was the maintenance man, but still, gimme some notice. The place is embarrassingly trashed cuz we just haven't had the time or energy to clean it yet. It turns out it's the buzzer for the door so we don't have to go downstairs to let people in. I don't like the fact that they didn't tell me they were coming to put it in, but I never pay all of my rent on time, so I can't bitch yet until we get completely caught up on that and ahead on it.

That's all I think. I wish I were at work right now but at least I can get some other s**t done, I guess it's worth it.
