the last two times i've turned on this little computer here at the bux it has spontaneously rebooted, and this time, it threw in the blue screen of death just for good measure. worrisome.

i know (well, sort of know) some folks who are today running a 100 mile race out in colorado. sounds marvelous. am i lazy because i would rather toddle around in self-propel mode for 24 hours than make the bed?

this watch band is driving me nutso because the velcro is all worn out, but when i tried to get a new one, i couldn't find one. i did, however, see a brand new watch that i liked. i would miss the mystery answer watch, but maybe it's time for something new. time. haha. funny.

i used to be a ballcap wearer. now, not so much.

the kitchen scissors were getting old, dull, and difficult to sciss, so i bought some new ones. i splurged and spent $3.50, and boy howdy, that is like the best $3.50 i spent in a good while. those are some nifty scissors. nice weight, good responsiveness, sharp. they're scotch brand, and i recommend them.

remember when you used to have to have (<<-- non-redudant repetition) a pack of playing cards to play solitaire? remember packs of playing cards? back in the day, everyone at brigadoon had a pack. lots of on-bunk solitaire at rest hour. lots of gin rummy. what ever happened to playing cards?

we usually drink skim milk for the low fatness, but i don't know much about milk or whether milk fat is truly detrimental to my health. skim definitely goes down easier. more easily? whatever.
