So, it’s nearly midnight KL time, I can’t sleep due to somebody’s coughing (actually, due to both Gene and my coughing together) and yet, I can’t shiv the cause of this insomnia. Since I can nap tomorrow and Gene can’t, here is a very interesting meme-whatchamacallit that I stole from another site: 1) Go to…
Category: Life in Cheesecake City
Malaysia: A Look Back in Humidity (Pt.1)
So the story begins a week ago, back at the house in Cheesecake City. It’s 5:30 at night, the bags are packed (I’d even put White Dog in my carryon). It’s Halloween but since our ride to the airport was to pick us up at 6 I hadn’t bought any candy. We never have any…
23 hours til departure…
This time tomorrow we’ll be up in the air. Yaaaay! There is still so much to do. I need to pack my carry on bag, finish packing my big bag and – of course – more work! After all the years where I felt like I was going it alone in payroll, it is so…
Reasons why I haven’t posted anything of value lately…
1) Packing for the trip. I packed for myself on Sunday and, because he won a bet, I’ll pack for Gene tonight. (Trust me, it was totally worth losing the bet). 2) Work. I know, sometimes all I do is blog about work and the life drain it is. Who wants to hear more about…
Patriotic Chore – Done!
Gene and I voted today at the library. I love early voting because I get it taken care of good and early. The rumor is that 25% of registered voters in Cheesecake City-County have already voted. Amazing. Anyway, if you have not yet voted, I suggest checking out factcheck.org. The site takes an issue and…
A crazy dream…
So I dreamt (dreamed? one of those) that Gene and I were flying to Malaysia via Germany (which we are). I know our itinerary pretty thoroughly and I know that the planes are big ones (which YES is at least 10% of the reason I agreed to this silliness) and I am really really looking…
Suddenly, I get it…
I mentioned awhile ago that I now live in a tenatively blue state (WTF?) so I can’t just write in Stephen Colbert when I vote later this month because, really, the state’s definitely going to go red so why not have some fun? Anyway, while I don’t think I can vote for McCain, I wasn’t…
What??
Since when do I live in a blue state??? Yikes, and the exit polls are saying it’s close. I may have to actually choose a real candidate and not write in a TV show host. Dammit. The truth is, I don’t know who I’m voting for (sorry Mom). I hope that regardless of the winner…
Birds, the Sequel (again)
Another dead bird in the living room. AUUUUUGH. I am so pleased that Gene was still on Dead Bird duty. (Which only means I will be in a LOT of trouble when the next one finds its way into our house).
So then why is it called a LAPtop?
When my laptop is on my lap, the fan runs about 5000 rpm (I assume it’s per minute). When it’s on the plastic tray and THEN on my lap, the fan runs about 3500 rpm. What does it mean when your laptop can’t handle being on your lap? Oy.
