herewiss13It's finally happened. After 1 1/2 months, I am completely dishless. There may be a fork or a pan left, but that's about it. I'm also completely out of counter-space. Both of these conditions have to change this weekend or I'm going to starve. The fact that my sink lacks a plug will make this an interesting experience.

A large fridge magnet/clip makes a surprisingly good toga-clip...
...which may be more than you needed to know.
**
I'm actually a book ahead of schedule on February's Book List. I blame Presidents' Day and the 4 YA Practchett novels I devoured in place of, say, doing the dishes.
**
Can I just say that SG-1 is amusing the hell out of me? Any show where a character says "Alternate universes, alternate dimensions, all I need is a time-travel incident and I'll hit the Stargate trifecta." is sinking deeply into the meta. 9 seasons of canon is a lot to play with if you're willing, and the writers definitely are...how else to explain ressurecting such a mediocre episode as "The Crystal Skull"? Quality? I couldn't say. But it's certainly a hoot. I just wish Richard Dean Anderson would come back. He and Ben Browder would be _sooo_ good together.
**
On a lark, I joined an "adult" dating site (when I'm bored/lonely, I join dating sites. It's a thing.), just to see what my area might have to offer. So far, on the basis of a single, less that utterly charismatic picture, and some very scanty text, I've recieved over half a dozen enthusiastic emails. While all _are_ from the Northwest, sadly none of them reference my profile...or any specific details of their own and all can be boiled down to "I'm horny, write me back."
Did I mention I'd have to pay money to write back?
Can you say "underhanded scam?"
I'm fairly certain the first AI capable of passing a Turing test will be the accidental result of online spam/bot developement. Of couse, there's still a looooong way to go. Thank God.

Bachelorhood
Date: 2006-02-25 12:09 pm (UTC)You should be able to pick up a replacement plug for a few dollars at any hardware store. Or, you could get a dishpan, which pretty much says right in the name that it's for washing dishes in.
Alternatively, you know, you could always buy more plates/silverware. ;) I heard a stand-up comic once remark that you know you're a bachelor when you find yourself eating your breakfast cereal out of a mixing bowl with an ice cream scoop, because it's easier than doing dishes.
