I happened to hit the wrong sort order today on my iTunes, bringing the “most played” songs to the top. I must say, I was a bit surprised at the results. I can only imagine that I must have put a 007 playlist on and left for vacation. Only one non-007 song cracked the top … Read more
We just picked up some California rolls at Fresh & Easy and the package comes with these disposible, collapsable chopsticks. Half plastic, half wood – how green can that be? Update: Here’s a picture of “green” chopsticks. 🙂
I just watched the first episode if a new BBC series entitled Bonekickers. It’s about a team of archaeologists. I have but one question to ask: Do they cast and write these shows just to create material for Dead Ringers to send up?

Photoshop couldn’t quite cleanly stitch the 12 photographs together… the wall isn’t warped (at least not like this) and the countertop is … Read more
It’s been a frenzied day (and last evening) of building IKEA kitchen cabinets. Our handyman finished the sealing of the new tile floor and today marked the start of cabinet installation, so I had to get them ready. I’m actually quite impressed with the ingenuity that IKEA has engineered into their cabinet system – with … Read more
