I hate the new car smell. New books? Bring it on.

My sympathy for spiders has been overruled. Out into the cold they went with the tree…

Flash makes Pip look evil…

I’d given up on P365 for a while, but today I ran into a colleague who mentioned she was doing it this year. (She started on the first of January.) So I thought why not try again? I liked P365. It was a reminder to find some beauty or significance in every day, even the ordinary ones. So here we go again. Welcome to Z365- P365 reanimated, and possibly in search of brains…

You know how they* always say that you shouldn’t eat at your desk/in front of the computer? I had an abject demonstration in WHY. I had a salad in a takeout container. Walk in to my desk, start to set the container down, and somehow the lid caught on the keyboard.  My entire Ceasar salad did a very neat backflip onto the right half of the keyboard. It was masterful how self-contained it was- there were only a couple leaves on the desk.

So now I have to clean my keyboard.

(Sadly, I did not take pictures. My mental process ran something like ‘oh, CRAP-fix this now!’ It only occurred to me later that I should have snapped a photo, because it was seriously unbelievable how neatly the salad stuck the landing.)

*Where by ‘they’, I mean sensible people and the IT department. They have a point. In my own defense, this is the first time I’ve ever had such a spectacular keyboard mishap.

Sweet potato fries and chicken. Not sure there will be much left of the fries by the time everything’s done- I keep eating them off the grill.

We had a terrific thunderstorm last night 2:30ish. (I know because it woke me up- it was that loud.) At the end of the storm, we still had power, which was slightly surprising.

6am this morning: no power. Go figure.

It’s suddenly proper summer, which means my commute home (on a bike) was utterly disgusting. Stopping at tje library made it worse, because after a few minutes in the air conditioning,  going back out to get sweatier is that much worse.

Also, humans are stupid. We build heat sinks. All that lovely black road surface just absorbs heat. Lack of greenery around to intercept any of the incoming sunlight makes it that much worse. There’s got to be a better way. We should work on that.  

Ok, the ‘read books and watch football’ experiment went about as well as you’d expect. Not much reading happened, as there was too much happening with FRA-HON. Reading is happening during halftime. Between tweeting and texting. Remind me what World Cups used to be like without social media?
