Jun. 8th, 2003 12:49 amNot my most productive day ever, but certainly an improvement over the last two weekends' energyless slump.
Finished The Black Moth and Cold Comfort Farm, read the papers, made muffins (out of a mix, but I BAKED), made variant of salade Nicoise rather late in the day and ate far too much of it, finally watched Spirited Away (wow it was good), managed to download Messenger to this computer at long last, returned video, satisfied sudden sugar craving at Pharmaprix (bought chocolate milk, carton of no-sugar-added Freezies, and Haagen-Dasz vanilla-almond bar), ate my ice-cream bar sitting on the steps of my building, was told "It's beautiful what you're doing" by passing stranger (not sure if he meant the ice cream, the step-sitting, or my rather short dress, but I thought it was nice), came in and watched some Ab Fab episodes and started decanting photos and postcards and pamphlets into the albums I bought last weekend. I'm up to the end of Orkney Day 1. I do like doing this (OK, I've done it for one trip so far in my life, but I like the results). I'm going to have to go back and put captions on everything but I do feel like I've made a start -- actually, just ditching some of my 16-odd pictures of the Ring of Brodgar feels like an accomplishment.
Oh, and I washed a lot of dishes too. And took out some recycling. Yay me.
Tomorrow: perhaps Future Shop for CD player? It really is time. Possibly I should do my accounts first, though, as an Awful Warning... haven't done 'em since I got back. Argh.
Today's link, or rather yesterday's, snurched from someone on somebody else's Friends list. I present A History of the Internet (more of a timeline really). My favourite line (located somewhere in 2000): "EPA warns that entire surface of the earth will be completely blanketed with AOL CDs by the end of 2007".
*snicker*
