Bright Lights, Big Ass
Category: ramble
I'm in the mood to curl up on the couch in my basement, watch a movie and or continue reading Jen Lancaster's most recent book, Bright Lights, Big Ass: A self Indulgent Surly Ex Sorority Girls Guide to Why It Often Sucks in the City or Who Are These Idiots and Why Do They All Live Next Door to Me?" while eating something really good- or something I havent had in awhile. Lately its been something light and simple that I find in my cupboard ie; half a large can of peaches.

Anyway, Jen is great. A must read is her first book:
"Bitter is the New Black, Confessions of a Condescending Egomaniacal Self Centered Smart Ass or Why You Should Never Carry a Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office"

I'm sure Ive mentioned it before.

Sarcastic to the bone; gawd I love her!

I havent given myself a full day off in quite some time, not sure when I will. Not much else to do at the moment. Its been thundering on and off all day with threat of rain. I like that its cloudy- a welcome change from digging, dragging, wheel barrowing, shoveling, planting, mulching, sweating sort of sunny, humid and hot 8 hr day that was yesterday. So I'm home now having to run an errand- and since I am now cleaned up, I don't feel much like going back out and getting myself covered in grossness- primarily because I don't know if I have more clothes to put on, and I can't put on what I was wearing earlier. Once its peeled off, it gets tossed down the laundry shoot. Guess doing a load of laundry is on my friday night itinerary. yay

hmm there is another job I can do that isn't so dirty, so thats a possibility. But oh, ordering in food and a book sounds really really good. I think I can do both. Its early enough.

k, off to find food.

Goodie, maybe we can get around to that veggie potluck for (e:strip)pers (that leetee and I are talking/thinking about) someday :)

hmmm, well funny you mention Wednesday. There appears to be a call for epeeps and India Gate on Wednesday. (e:jim,40367)

I'm open to whatever works for youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
pyrcedgrrl - 08/04/07 22:54
I would kill for some Indian cuisine. Perhaps I can coax you out to get some on my day off--Wednesday? You can have my "last meal" with me before I have to not eat from midnight on. :D There's actually a place I hear is really good right by the Rainbow Bridge. And, you know....Starbucks IS right around the corner. ;)
theecarey - 08/04/07 20:07
to answer your question in a simple yes or no, the answer would be no.

yet..

I cant say I'm on the other end of the spectrum either.. where a meal isnt a meal without meat. ew.

So my fridge /cupboards are full of things I like: veggies, fruits, tofu, polenta, lentils, texturized veggie protein, meat alternatives (veg burgers, chik patties, ground "meat", "hotdogs", etc) yet also an occasional package of chicken, ground turkey or whatever I happen to be in the mood for as well. So yeh, occasional meat eater but very well versed in all things "vegetarian". yum!! :)


really, what it comes down to, is I'll pretty much eat anything!

and that being said, off to raid my fridge
tinypliny - 08/03/07 16:11
Are you a vegetarian by any remote chance?

looking for AC adapter--Toshiba
Category: nerd
The AC adapter for my laptop is on the outs. I've taped it up several times to keep the exposed wires guts in place. So, eventually I will need a new one. In all probability--much much sooner than later. yikes.

Now, I know pretty much where and how to find one (ok, simple yahoo search), but I have some questions.

I need a Toshiba Tecra A series ac adapter- PA3283U-1ACA. I know some are compatible, some are not- like, I don't need that particular one. I'm looking for cheap. I'm finding some in the range right now of 25-60 bucks plus shipping. I want cheaper if possible.

Now, my question is.. is there somewhere in particular (online or physical store) that I should buy from? And... is there some universal sort of adapter that I may not be aware of.. or a place I can buy just the piece I need (the part that plugs into the laptop is beat). Or something I can hack, splice, cram together with chewing gum? So I toss it out to you, fair peeps. Must be somethiing I havent thought of!

thank you in advance

:)
theecarey - 08/03/07 10:54
ooh, hey, thanks (e:tinypliny) I appreciate your input :) I'll give a little snoop around ebay first!
tinypliny - 08/02/07 19:30
I did a quick search and Ebay seems to have tons of people selling Tecra adapters for cheap. Many of these should cost you <$15 with shipping. If you feel like you can't trust Ebay, here is an online dealer who has Tecra adapters: :::link:::

I am not sure how trustworthy this dealer is though.

spent a better part of my free time on this site.



(e:leetee) you may recognize it-- or atleast you will eventually find your user pic if you dare look through the 100 plus pages of cute and funny pics. :)

anyhoo, I got a kick out of it. Good brainless time waster :)

there are a few sites that host this sort of creativity. The Cheezburger one is primarily cats-- lolcats but also loldogs lol--whatever the case may be.
so if feeling inclined to make your own..
dcoffee - 08/02/07 09:07
I get a kick out of these, especially the cat with flaror, the mouse with corm, and the dog with the comb over. Too silly.
lilho - 08/01/07 00:21
lol. some i dont like, but i like the animals "that has a flavor", i'd like to think i has a flavor as well.
leetee - 07/31/07 23:06
Indeed, i totally recognize it. Posted about this very silly giggle inspiring site just about a month or so ago ( (e:LeeTee,39744) ) and have it listed in my fav links. I am totally digging your selection, (e:Theecarey)!
mrmike - 07/31/07 22:57
Too funny, specially Ninja Kat

The Mulch Diaries
I seriously have nothing else to write about.

The pile
image

What I typically been looking like upon return home..
Those are bare arms, and thats not hair!!
image

my pink watch is now reddish brown, along with everything down to my toes.
image

my shirt used to be white. and yes, thats mulch and again, not hair :X
image

yeh, the shower is caked with mulch particles. The mulch is a reddish color and looks like blood rinsing from my body. yum.


anyone recognize this bug?? it really loves the purple flowers.. and me. I tried to get a clear pic before it zipped off.

make the tiniest bisque ever served
theecarey - 07/30/07 22:21
yup yup, its a bug. Well, its not a hummingbird, anyway- I had initially wondered the same thing. But it has a fish face.. and now you mention it, it does look like a lobster. Its about an inch and a half? That thing is SO weird. Maybe some mutation..


jenks - 07/30/07 22:16
is that a bug? or a hummingbird?
It kind of looks like a flying lobster.
