Friday Five & Short

Friday, Jun. 27, 2008 - 12:36 a.m.

I woke up Thursday morning to the sounds of a major electrical short in my headphones the day after I caught Dave's adorable beautiful and totally magnificant cat chewing on the goddamn cord, so I got them replaced yesterday at Fry's. I figure I demolish a pair of these things about once a year, so ten bucks annually doesn't bother me too much.

For lunch, Dave took me to a new place I'd never been before; a hamburger place called Islands. It was nice.

I ate a bunch of french fries there, though, so yesterday, I took a late afternoon nap, and it managed to make me sleepier than I was before I napped, so Disneyland was scrapped for the day and we're gonna try again on Sunday afternoon.

The nightly call home to John found all of us online trying to find an iTunes command that was in a hidden submenu, but we finally figured it out and lived happily ever after.

Friday Five:

Did you get an allowance as a kid, and if so, how much was it?
Yes I did, it was five dollars a week, but half of that was spent on lunch. (this was around thirty years ago, btw)

How old were you when you had your first job, and what was it?
I was sixteen and I babysat for the lady across the street.

Which do you do better: save money or spend money?
I love a bargain, but gee, one can't obtain a bargain without spending money, right?

Are people more likely to borrow money from you, or are you more likely to borrow from them?
It all goes around. I'm part of a very insular pod of friends and we go back and forth as far as that goes. ("Hey, I'm gonna be at work when this auction ends; bid for me and I'll pay ya back when I get home," etc etc...)

What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought?
I along with the person I bought the thing for know the answer to that, and I'd like to kind of keep it that way if it's all right with you.

In actual news that's important, NASA scientists are happy with the dirt on Mars. They say that according to the preliminary info that the Phoenix is sending, the soil is probably capable of growing some of the same stuff we grow here on Earth.

Earth-shattening Kaboom, indeed.

Cool.

Nothing else to report on.

Have a good Friday! ...

Come to think of it, is there any other kind?
