wishing I had some pasta...

Be nice. Noodles are nice. If they can do it, so can we.
Be firm. Noodles (cooked properly) are firm. If they can do it, so can we.
Be resilient. Noodles are resilient. If they can do it, so can we.
Be nourishing. Noodles are nourishing...

Today went reasonably well, all told, barring the LJ being wonky still. Had an early lunch with Danny, we exchanged loot. (He got Newtie a Tigger to play with, and for me, a Dexter's Lab Remote controlled robot. somehow I suspect Newt'll be messing more with the 'bot.) We went to Starlight, and I had a yummy black bean burger, and a big honking burger...Danny and I got caught up, he's been so busy with school and the wife.... Poor guy's pretty much just been keeping his head above water, socially and financially. He needs to get more R&R time in, but I fear that the wife won't give him time to decompress much... Ah well, he'll get it together, and hopefully I'll be along for the ride sometime this week... his next time off isn't until easter, then summer. The life of a teacher... Arrived at work barely on time. Work went as usual, and got to talk with Ornj for a too-short while this eve. (I had to work extra hard, and she was busy with other things too.

Good things that happened today -

Visited with Dan.
Made a bootleg copy of Kev's Boston Blackie/ Philip Marlowe MP3, I'll be back in Noir-style writing in no time. :)
Pickles Returned to work, gave me a ride home. Poor gal has the Froggiest throat... apparently she's been croaky since Christmas.
Talked a bit with Ornj, and she pointed me to a nifty game on MSN - bejeweled
Tucked my sweetie into bed, and think I'll be dreaming of her shortly.

Not much bad happened today, save for trouble connecting to the net when I got home tonight.

Oh, the glory that is payday tomorrow. Still have a few ducats left over from Christmas, and will probably pick myself up a present too... A new perf for the big machine, hard drive, or an optical mouse... (maybe both... :) ) Contemplating getting a GPS for my palm... I don't travel much, but it looks like a fun doodad.

I plan on doing a lot of writing this weekend... something a little hard boiled, and a vibe from the '40s, I suspect. Going to shoot for 3 short stories by 2001... better boogie. Maybe more of Mitch and Sally. I like them.

My eyeballs are getitng a bit scorched, and I wish I could read the entries of my friends... again, the seizures of the net forbid me from reading the hubbub of my friends... Ah well.. it's not to be, tonight. I hope eveyone is home, safe and comfy in bed.


Little Known Factoid:
Five Jell-O flavors that flopped: celery, coffee, cola, apple, and chocolate.

And a bunch of other stuff about noodles. (Not really, I would have included it if there were.)

Jello

Yuck, I hate jello as it is. Those flavors sound really awful......on top of the fact that Jello is just bovine bone gel....*shudder

You got that right... I liked cherry jello as a kid, but was promptly disgusted when I found out it's composition.

but really... of the flavors there, only apple or cola sound like they'd work at all...

you bet!

that pesky thing is quite a little grabber...

O brother!!

well, to post to specific friend's groups, you can't do it with the web poster, yet, only the windows client, (or the mac one if you're using a mac)

then, when you decide to make it private, friends, or public, you should get the option there to pick the friends group you want to see it.

let me know if you need more aid with it...

Re: Hmmmm . . .

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

quite welcome. :) get the post client! it's saved me the last few days... I may not be able to read LJ, but I can still post! :)
