Today is November 4. So, I'm going into panic mode because I'm sitting here in Cpre 486 and suddenly we have a test over design patterns. I do not want to take a test over design patterns. I didn't know we had a test over such patterns until I saw people talking about "test" and stuff. Helen is not even here. I doubt she knew either. Well, bye now.
Today is November 23. I should have been the web nerd one, but my shame caused me to start checking the music-related ones...
take the nerd test.
and go to mewing.net. a nerd utopia.
So yeah. Yesterday, a mustard bottle in the cooler took a header on the shelf and stabbed me in the meaty part of my hand. It caused a nifty blood blister. It was a Plochman's, and that bottle has a particularly pointy red tip. Sharon's concert thingy Friday night was really fun. It was at this place (it was in a small performance space that's inside the big building). Sharon did such an amazing job with her songs. Afterwards a bunch of us visited. The friends in attendance included Faith & Eric, Naomi, Kendra, Laura & Jill, and Nick. I took some pics since I am camera-happy. I was working on a "college" scrapbook and realized I have hardly any pictures from junior year on.
I'm sleepy.
Today is November 11. Last night at work I was slicing a tenderloin bun and I accidentally sliced the tip of my left index finger. It bled pretty bad. I was trying to put the bandaid on myself but suddenly had a freakout moment and started repeating "I can't do this" so then JB put a bandaid on me. Usually I am ok with blood but I don't know what happened there.
Today is November 12. Right now I'm watching Blade Runner, courtesy the netflix (duh). It's really cool. It has Harrison Ford so you can't go wrong there.
I took Señor Stripey and Shasta to counseling with me today. My counselor held Sr. Stripey and I held Shasta. She liked him, I could tell.
- Pineapple shaped neon sign. It could even be advertising something, I wouldn't care. Lately it seems you can buy lots of different shaped things in neon signs, so maybe they will do the right thing and make a piney soon.
- Canisters for flour, sugar, etc. I'm sure you have seen these in an old person's kitchen. Would rather have ones with just a pineapple on each canister, but I remember seeing a set at the Ames Antique mall with a big pineapple surrounded by other kinds of fruit.
- Hooded Sweatshirt a.k.a. Hoodie. Preferably red with a cartoon-type piney silk-screened on it. I have seen something like this from Roxy or Hollister up for auction, but too small. Haven't seen any listed for a while.
- Drawer pulls. These could be pineapple-shaped wood/pewter/etc. or a normal knob with a piney painted on it. When I buy my real dresser for my bedroom in my real house, I would put these drawer pulls on it.
- Clock. Actually 2 types. One is a normal round kitchen clock with a nice realistic looking piney painted on it. The other is a plastic pineapple-shaped clock for a bedside table. I saw it in a magazine once when I was in jr. high and I was going to get it, except that the place you ordered it from, you had to order a lot of 10 or 12 or something. (it was a catalog for retail ppl) Of course now I would probably just buy the lot of them and then give away or sell the ones I didn't need, but back in the day I didn't have that kind of $$
- Hello Kitty. There were some fruit Hello Kitty plush toys released at Target a while back, but I could never find the pineapple ones in the 2 larger sizes, just the small keychain size. I would also like to find the original yellow pineapple juice bar set MIB.
- Cookie cutter. Pretty self-explanatory
- Bedding, like a comforter, sheet set, etc. I already have 2 throw pillows but they are for the couch. I know there is a Pineapple quilt pattern but since it's a quilt pattern it looks nothing like the name (geese? log cabin?). If I ever learn to quilt I might make a pineapple quilt that actually looks like a pineapple using different scraps of yellow and green fabric.
Today is November 17. Er, 18th. It's after midnight. For Halloween this year I was "Raggedy Rachel, the Evil Rag Doll" and I had a really cool costume. For anyone who didn't see me, I kinda looked like this except my sleeves were purple and my skirt was black, and i had purple and black striped socks instead of vinyl platform boots. But the same overall effect of an evil rag doll
Today is November 19. Right now, I'm watching Neil Young rock out on this DVD. The talking parts are kind of lame, but the tunes are great. Tonight is kumla dinner with Grandma Hazel. I haven't eaten much today (a Twix and a leftover corn muffin) and I've done a lot of walking so I can have a big appetite for kumla, ham, green beans, applesauce, and bread. I found an interesting article that mentions kumla and other Norwegian foods for you to read. I found my disposable camera with all my California pics on it, so I can finally get them developed!
Today is November 28. Thanksgiving in Sioux City was nice. We got to see and hold the new baby, Cary, who belongs to Chris's cousin Todd and his wife Leslie. She's a nice baby. I was not in the family picture (rampant communication problems coupled with photo cost issues and stuff). I finally won the Ginny pineapple dress so I bought a doll from Thinker Toys to wear it. Thanksgiving dinner was held at Patty's. It was very yum, including delicious cheesy potatoes. Also we watched The Santa Clause 2, which was pretty bad, but at least had some funny parts.
