Update

I'm working from home!

Co-worker T showed me Friday how to set up the work computer (and gave me a URL) so that I can log on to my work computer from home.

It's not a workable solution for a regular basis, but I really needed an at-home day. And this way I can work on more stuff without interruption and still relax in my jammies. And I'll be able to run some errands this afternoon, because my workday will be over at 3.


Awesome essay about how people absorb stories differently (and it offers some great insights about how to respond when people are picking up on something completely different). For example, I know many of you watched the "Henriksen is amazing and should totally have lived to become a hunter" episode of Supernatural recently, while apparently etakyma was watching the "Henriksen is just one more minor character in a string of undeveloped minor characters who get killed too quickly" show.


Skittles should not be in chocolate flavors. Just sayin'.

I had something else to say but now I can't think of it. Feh.

Danielle's getting technological:

Great Escape - one of my favourite movies - on AMC. Apart from being pan&scan and having odd commercial breaks, it's fairly good mindless entertainment, but I'm thinking of crashing early. Soon as my hair is dry enough to braid.

Ty-ered. Did get out of the house for a bit today. Took HPEF's printer (which has been acting up) to Circuit City because it's still under warranty; was told to contact Lexmark directly. Will do tomorrow. Then I went to Off Broadway Shoes - much like DSW but with slightly different selection - and tried on multiple pairs of shoes, including a really nice brown walking pump and an incredibly comfy Puma trainer. And bought neither - too expensive. Then walked to Marshall's and found a fab pair of Converse All-Star hi-tops for $15 less than the shoe store. Score. I've been needing a new pair - my second pair of fake ones have been falling apart since before I wore them in Steppin' Out and the workout from the show didn't help them any. I may have even tossed them out already.


Oh, and PSA time: As of Sunday, there are fewer than 10 tickets left for the Dessert with Jim Dale at Portus. So if you're waiting to get your ticket, NOW's the time!

Unfortunately, we continue to have server issues with the website, but the LJ Community is running.


Still looking for volunteers as well....

Off to do more Portus work.
