Yesterday I won an "iPod shuffle" in a Rabies Day 5k race. No, I didn't win the race, but the dog I was running with was the first dog to finish, so I got an iPod. Makes sense, right? Well, after I, who am technologically incompetent beyond my years, finally got this thing working, it suddenly made perfect sense to me.
This thing is so small that I don't know why they bothered to include separate earphones. They should have just mounted an earpiece directly on the thing, and then I could stick the whole unit in my ear. But the sound... WOW. I have never owned speakers that sounded that crisp, especially in the bass department.
So for the last couple days, even the most unextraordinary moments have been scenes from an action movie. Walking across the parking lot? Doing the laundry? Typing up a pleonast post? Boring, right? Not when the outrageous, spectacular, and superhuman is imminent... and judging by the music, five ninjas have just surrounded my bedroom.
Soo excited in anticipation!! =) N mentioned maybe tearing up the bathroom floor... (oh, lol! she is on the phone right now and saying IF Nathan can get the tile out....) so that seems decently like that could be something that would get done. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN OUT TO THE DONKEYS??!! =) I'll take you out hopefully one of those days!
...oh and if you could drop N an email ASAP!! when your plans are finalized because she is unsure what up with what you had to do (moving or something)
The list is long now of what Nathan has done... good thing you are used to wierd/nasty smells. THanks for all your help... and making it more fun for all of the rest of us by being here.
^Depends on which way you want to take it. You should have heard what he said to me about me!!!!! I will probably have to go to therapy to get over it.
...when I bit into a hard-boiled egg this morning. It blew up in my face and burned my lip.
I had two eggs left from the ten I boiled on Saturday, so I stuck them in the microwave. Thirty seconds later, they only felt lukewarm, so I put them back in for another thirty. Then I picked one up, salted it, and bit into it.... and that's when the whole thing exploded.
I stabbed the other egg with my spoon, and it too exploded. Guess you have to stick 'em like potatoes before heating so they don't do that!
Ouch! I have truly never heard of cooking an egg in the microwave. Just curious... had you already removed the SHELL when you bit into it? Exploded? Scary thought...
It's times like this I wish there were cameras filming each of us 24/7, on a 15 minute recycling circuit! Microwaves do strange things. I hear that a heated glass of water can "explode" if it doesn't boil, and then is penetrated with a spoon or whatever.
Oh, and he originally boiled, then re-heated in the microwave.
OW! That burn sounds very uncomfortable. Never nuke baby food and feed the baby without test-tasting it yourself. Remember that lesson because you may need some day.
That reminds me (if I really stretch my remembering capabilities) of a night when my family went to their hosue for supper. It was in the middle of peach season and the kitchen was buzzing with fruit flies. So Dad and Scott alternately waved the fire torch blower/lighter thing (technical name forgotten) around and then put peaches in the microwave, took 'em out after the flies went in, and then turned the microwave on...
I have something for you but I need your land address - I think I should send it to the state you are in, not PA so can you email it to me? And yes isn't he (she) a cute little dead mousie? Amazing how many think we are really cruel to be chuckling so much! heehee!
Maybe dealing with snapping turtles all day gives a guy a little perspective, because he has a pretty fine disposition. What's your favorite turtleman quote?
Turtleman: "Uh, might find a bullfrog or two. Fish attack. Plus, uh, maybe a snake."
Guy gettin the story: "Or typhoid?"
Turtleman: "Nah, it'd be a water snake."
Ummmm...wow. I dunno. I can veritably appreciate the simple life...but that right there is a simple man. Call me whatever that makes me.
Oh man that's great! Snaper-licious! Love his smile. Think of all the things his hobby accomplishes: food, entertainment, exercise, enviromental animal control, and he most likely does not seek medical attention when bit so it's all budget friendly too.
Oh. Wow. I think I laughed too loudly most of the way through to hear the quotes stupendously well, but "7 kinds of meat"?!?!? Ha! That was my favorite. I wonder how much he spends on shampoo and soap?
Two things I request of You
(Deprive me not before I die):
Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches-
Feed me with the food allotted to me;
Lest I be full and deny You,
And say, "Who is the Lord?"
Or lest I be poor and steal,
And profane the name of my God.
hey Nathan - this is one of my favorite Proverbs. :) See you soon? She said Darryl is coming up here (maybe for turkey?) What is your schedule are you traveling? We've (mr b and me) just been to NYS and really enjoyed the Corning Glass museum.
Black beans and vanilla reminds me of what we´ve eaten here: ground, fried plantains stuffed with black beans. The mix between savory and sweet is quite satisfiying
