Nothing much
by Denise Sawicki on March 5, 2007

Well I figured I should mention my health thingy is OK and I don't have to get any more tests for another year... :P The weeks are going by really fast, it's quite alarming.

and alcohol is fun. We had an $8 bottle of port. It was incredible. You want to drink it just for the taste and not only because it can get you drunk. :P Next Darrell had me get some Knob Creek whiskey which is considerably more expensive but it was on sale so he couldn't pass it up. Well that is 50% alcohol and I made the mistake of trying a *cautious* sip which was just nauseatingly strong, but if you knock back a big gulp you don't notice the alcohol until later and it kind of tastes like root beer. Hey my defense is I never drank in college so I am catching up now. Why do I feel defensive, I dunno. I'll only drink when I'm already happy, it's no fun drinking when you're depressed...

Why have I not checked this show out before?...

So I happened to find disk 1.1 of Queer as Folk (American version) at the library and it is rare to see disk 1.1 of anything so I checked it out. Go »

Now I remember why I live in North Dakota

It got hot all of a sudden the last few days, or what passes for hot in ND in early April (50s). It's like a spring break video out there, people prancing around in bikinis yelling "woo"... OK not quite but there is a marked change in demeanor. Go »

Don't go computer shopping at 6 AM...

So, we have an old and crummy computer that's been bothering us for years, and for reasons that I can't get into, it suddenly became critical to go computer shopping at 6 AM on Saturday. :P I got a digital video camera for my birthday and Darrell took some awesome videos of Philip and we wanted something that would be capable of video editing. I headed out to Walmart at 6 AM on Saturday, looked at the stats of the various computers,. Go »

Adventures with Free Desserts

Four recent adventures with free desserts: 1. We had not much to do on Saturday morning so, against our better judgement, we decided to go to the furniture store, who had sent us a coupon offering free breakfast and a free gift to "preferred customers". Breakfast turned out to be doughnuts. Go »

The British know how to make TV

Correction to my earlier post - we have now seen almost to the end of season 2 of QAF (Darrell decided to watch it after all) and it seems only season 1 is really amazing. Perhaps it gets better again later, I don't know. Is it any coincidence that season 1 is the one copied almost directly from the British version? Go »
