Week in Review

Ah, Saturday. What a lovely day.
I felt like shopping, so this morning I headed out to Tyson’s Corner to buy Lush stuff for my hair (the shampoo lasts forever because I need to use so little, even with my thick, long hair, but I go through conditioner much faster), and some more honey soap (oh [...]

Blame Pluto

This story isn’t as exciting as the first paragraph (after this one) may lead you to believe.
Around 5:00 PM the fire alarm went off at work and, though the first announcement over the annoying sound and flashing light told us to stay in our offices, we were shortly told to evacuate the building. I’d put [...]

Toys R Fun

I have a new phone! Huzzah! I gave up on the purple idea because I couldn’t find one I liked that would work on the AT&T network. I realize I’m no longer in the middle of nowhere and thus can chose from more providers than just AT&T (they were the only ones that provided service [...]

It’s all about the chicken wings

Conversation I overheard today in the lunchroom (in regards to Navy ship ports):

Guy 2: Oh yeah. That’s true.
Guy 1: And they always tell you not to go there, but, you know.
Guy 3: And they always have [...]

Time for an update

My life has been dull lately, hence no updates for 10 days, but as it is Friday the 13th, a day I traditionally enjoy, it’s time for an update.
1. A few days ago I edited an environmental document for an upcoming test. Environmental documentation at my previous job was dull, dull, dull. It turns out, [...]

The forks in our roads

I get an alumni email from BYU, which I sometimes delete without opening, and other times open for a quick glance before deleting. Today I opened it for a quick glance and saw the face of a former professor, so I read the relevant story.
How a country treats its women could be an important factor [...]

Real snow! At last!

I can tell that I really missed snow this winter by the fact that I am so excited by this mere moderate storm. But yay! Snow!
The view of my neighborhood as I left for work this morning:

The view from my office window:

Monday randomness

1. The snow has mostly stopped. It’s sputtering on and off, but I think it’s mostly done. I think we got about 4 or 5 inches in my area. I approve of its snowiness.
2. My two Monday meetings were both cancelled. I’d be lying if I said I was sad. I’m assuming they were cancelled [...]

I am amused

Apparently the world is about to come to an end. Okay, in reality, the weather forecast is for 4 to 8 inches of snow, but based on what I’ve seen you’d think that was the same thing as the end of the world. We actually got a bit last night – half an inch or [...]
