Rambly Bits, Congested Monday Edition

[gnomi]

-- It's grey and in the 40s today; tomorrow is supposed to be rainy and in the high 60s. Don'tcha just *love* Spring in New England?

-- Speaking of Spring in New England, trees hate me, and it's mutual. ::blows nose some more::

-- Had a good and productive weekend (not all at the same time, necessarily): Quiet Shabbat, slightly less quiet Sunday, what with the brunch-with-friends, cleaning-for-Passover, bringing-stuff-to-storage, more-Passover-cleaning, laundry-doing and all. And it was my Abba's birthday, so I spoke to him twice (which is odd for me on a Sunday; Sunday is usually the day I typically *don't* speak to the parental units).

-- I've been knitting like a crazed fiend (even more crazed than usual). Made more progress on my big project, finished three small projects, worked on another smallish project.

-- Still haven't pulled out the sewing machine in a while. I need to do that, 'cause I have cut-out projects in progress I *really* want to finish.

-- May be baking more in the next week or two, in an attempt to lessen the amount of flour and sugar I have on hand. There's that Passover-planning thing again...

-- Streaming audio hasn't worked for me at work for over a week. This is sad. I'm listening to CDs rather than the radio and rediscovering some of the stuff I'd forgotten I had in my CD collection here in Cubeville. Now I'm on a "reorganize my Cubeville CDs" kick. Let's see: just this one CD rack can be Jewish a cappella (pro), Jewish a cappella (collegiate), English-language a cappella (pro), English-language a cappella (collegiate), and I'm already out of space.

You know, I'm fine with plants having sex, so long as they do it in the privacy of their own leaves. But when they insist on getting all up in my nose with it, that's when I start to get angry.

*Exactly*! My thoughts precisely!

WE are having a freaking snowstorm. ::rolls eyes::

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

I heard your neck of the woods was getting snow today. And tomorrow it's supposed to be warm-warm but rainy.

Go figure.

[ghilledhu.livejournal.com]

Heh. Welcome to New England. Don't like the weather? Wait five minutes.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Yup. He wasn't at all wrong when he said that.

[ephemera.livejournal.com]

so you've gone straight from snow and ice to plants having allergy-making sex at you? That doesn't seem fair!

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, basically. Happens most years, actually, but it seems to have started earlier this year, and it's driving me *bonkers*.

It's *not* fair.

re: primitive audio storage mechanisms (aka cd's)

Isn't that what an ipod's for?

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

If you can figure out some way I can connect my iPod to my work machine and be able to hear both my audio system prompts and my music, I'm there.

I haven't figured out how to do it yet. And my work iTunes is mostly empty, because I keep my work machine free of personal music files, so that's a non-starter.

Your weekend sounds like mine!

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

I think it sounds like a lot of folks' weekends, pre-Pesach. :-)

In an attempt not to go completely crazy, I'm trying to do some Pesach cleaning every day, even if it's just 10-15 minutes or so when I get home from work. This will let me do it without, I hope, having to be up until midnight on the night of b'dikat chametz.

[eireangus.livejournal.com]

I am doing the same thing!

It comes so fast.

Someday I should like to raid your acapella collection.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

I have a number of them that haven't yet migrated to my office, but they will one of these days, I'm sure.

And I'll type up a list at some point, so you can see what you might want to raid. :-)
