April 2009
Eating lemon cookies for lunch. And more importantly, cookie dough.
It’s been very hard for everyone to eat well while spending so much time at the hospital the last couple weeks.
Waiting for my adorama order to show up. And groceries. We’re out of tea and low on things that look like lunch.
If you’d like to help, my family would really appreciate easy freezable/reheatable meals like soup or a casserole.
Aunt Teresa passed away early this morning.
You can purchase anything online, including gravestones.
Need a movie recommendation. Something fun, with lots of explosions.

You know what I love about open source?
That we can name a conference something a little awkward like “Open Source Bridge”, and no marketing department stops us.

Made the @osbridge todo list shorter by marking things as done. I suspect this means there are things I need to add to it.
Wondering if Facebook keeps making bad usability choices because they’re jealous of MySpace.
This Star Trek episode is trying too hard. So far the 3rd season has been a lot of fail.

A Community Generated Zombie Documentary
Making a list of things I feel guilty about not being caught up on. Because I am feeling unmotivated to actually do these things.
OH: There needs to be a better word for weird. [That’s totally how I feel this week.]
Anyone interested in getting beer and food? In about an hour?
This is really frustrating.
Still waiting for an update on my aunt. And wondering what I want to do tonight.
So far today, I have read, played Animal Crossing, watched last night’s Dollhouse, and waited for the phone to ring. I have not eaten lunch.
