Put up the towel rack yesterday. Still need to get a medicine cabinet. Put up the doors yesterday. Need to cut some off the bottom of the bedroom door so it can be moved… It’s not just hard to move, it’s stuck.

We were in Marini’s and I saw a bottle of candy bubbles, red (“cherry”) flavored. I had to try them, being a fan of the spray candy. Spray candy is liquid candy in a spray pump. The beauty is that you feel like you just had candy and it’s such a small ammount that it’s […]

In Santa Cruz you can build a large opaque wall if it is set back 6 feet from the front property line (not counting easements to the city, etc.). You can have a fence on the line as long as it is no more than 3.5 feet high and you can see through it (picket […]

Cut up a few more branches to fit in to the green bin (just a few more to go). Moved all the bricks to the front and put “free” signs on it, some curtain things, and some blinds. (The bricks were taken) Picked out some new outdoor front lights at Riverside Lighting. The only had […]

The ribs and the chicken reheat really well in the microwave, and generally pretty fast. They don’t get tough from too much heating. That said, we’re now out of leftover ribs. Still have quite a bit of chicken though.

I had a dream that I built a new scooter that could go a bit faster (mostly for hills) and had a longer range. I know both are feasible, the obstacles are weight (the motor is heavy) and power (batteries are heavy too). I think I could probably double the battery capacity on my current […]

I finally watch this DVD that came with the CD soundtrack for “Revenge of the Sith.” This is a cool video! It leads you through all 6 movies by musical themes with video and bits of dialog showing each part. Each video can draw from the 6 movies and aren’t necessarily shown in the order […]

I watched Beauty and the Geek just because of the name. I was just going to watch the beginning but then I watched the whole thing. I couldn’t look away as they couldn’t answer the 5th grade questions. I couldn’t look away at the dancing. And I had an urge to watch The Real Gilligan’s […]

The other day I was feeling like getting a Games Magazine, so I did! The End. No, I’ve been going through it and I think I’m doing better than I used to when I was younger. Though based on some of the obscure stuff you need to pull up answers for on the easy puzzles, […]
