Weather - the most boring conversational topic?!?
by Denise Sawicki on April 30, 2008
Well, perhaps not if you live in ND, I dunno. There's snow on the ground *and* dandelions in the lawn right now. That's a first, at least in my memory. But you don't really notice these things so much until you have to take care of them yourself, I guess. There's rumors of another snowstorm coming this weekend, which is completely nuts. I thought the last 3 snowstorms were too much, particularly the one this past weekend. Oh I know I was just saying how annoying it is when the weather's good enough for people other than me to be outside. I guess I change my mind a lot. :P I suppose all this cold and snow is going to be explained in some twisted way by global "warming"... :-)
In other news I'm obsessed with Viva Pinata. Darrell read somewhere that it's "very, very easy" to get all 1000 achievement points on that game. I don't know what that person who said that was smoking. Perhaps I'm just stupid but it's a hard game. It would be impossible if you didn't read online help. I am a bit too impatient to avoid the online help entirely. Man there are some crazy things you need to do if you want to keep all the different kinds of mean pinatas from attacking your nice pinatas. I know I am spelling pinata wrong, thank you spell checker. Well I sure hope I wasn't meant to be smart enough to figure out all that stuff on my own. Even with online help there's still a lot of difficulties, and a lot of sitting around and waiting. Incidentally this is an example of something very boring that I like to do. I am sure my tc post on the topic of past lives was offensive. I'm just an offensive person I guess.

Haircuts and dandelions
So I cut off all my hair this weekend, about 16 inches of it. Now it is above chin length. I like it better this way but can't be bothered to get it cut more than once a year (I think I went 2 years this time). Go »Bablyon 5 vs. Little House on the Prairie
Darrell is checking out a lot of Babylon 5 DVDs from the library lately. I watch it too when I get a chance. Anyway, perhaps it's because we're nuts, but we think that show has a bizarre number of parallels with Little House on the Prairie. Go »Our dog is smart
Our sheltie, Philip, is really smart. Here is his latest Oscar-worthy film, where he shows off his ability to mimic Darrell doing the following actions: turn a circle, stretch, sneeze, lie down, roll over (partway), hop, and speak: link Philip also knows how to read a few words, kind of, though I think he gets bored with it :-). Currently he's in school for agility, which entails learning how to run around a course jumping hurdles and using tunnels and seesaws in a prescribed manner. Go »Being Rich
I've decided I wouldn't really want to be wealthy. OK, in many people's estimation I am probably wealthy already, but, what I really mean is I wouldn't want to live like a wealthy person. I wouldn't want a huge house on the lake with my own boat.. Go »door to door salesperson
Well last night I had somewhat of a weird experience when this wacky lady came to our door to sell some cleaning supplies for $37 a bottle... I normally do not buy anything from solicitors but she had me flustered and I was cracking up at everything she was saying... Didn't want to send her away empty handed after her lengthy comedy show.

It's been colder late in the spring here too, although that doesn't mean much. Snow in May is just wrong.
