My Laptop Battery is Dying.Category: i-tech
My laptop battery goes from 96% "discharging" to 5% "Critical Battery Level, Shutting down NOW" in 20 minutes flat. This is with the monitor off and on lowest power consumption settings. It never reaches 100% charge, according to the battery monitor. I always see it hovering around 95%. Worse, it takes just 20 minutes to charge to 95% .The laptop and battery are just around 1.5 years old. :/
I guess I am partially to blame for this poor battery performance because I really should have run the battery through the charge-discharge cycle all this time, instead of running it from the AC outlet power most of the time.
Maybe Sanyo makes trash batteries. Who knows... Mine is a

I have learnt my bitter battery lesson in time for my next Chrome OS powered netbook - which hopefully is just round the corner.

Irrational favourite song.Category: music
Who knows what miracles you can achieve...
When you believe, somehow you will!
You will, when you believe!
I love this song. I could listen to it on a loop for a solid 1 hour or more. I know, because I have done it. The lyrics are so irrationally and completely positive and that, I think is part of its magic. Of course, the other part is Whitney Houston's smashing powerful voice. Anything she sang turned into an impressive crashing waterfall of sonic gold, back in the day.

Can I grind up pasta to get flour?!Category: eating in
Well, what do you think? I am slowly getting through everything on my grocery shelves. The idea is to completely finish all stored grains, grain products, lentils, beans, rice and other non-perishables in the next 6 months. I am on a clean-up-the-whole-kitchen-and-start-completely-afresh drive.
I have some pasta but I am not very keen on making it because I tend to cut down on my vegetable portions if I eat too much pasta with regular meals. I do want to try my hand at some bread again - so if I take the pasta (white, acini de pepe) and grind it to a coarse powder will that make a good bread flour along with ground bulghur? I am thinking of making some kind of fruit/banana/apple based bread.
Does this sound insane? Well... it does sound a bit weird but still, do you think it might just possibly work? Thoughts?

i think you are completely insane. there is no way that you will be able to bake bread from ground up pasta. (but your attempt makes me like you a whole bunch!)
and i do admire your attempt to try to make apple crisp or the like with very finely ground up pasta (i certainly hope you have a food processor). this may in fact taste great , and i would love to know how it turns out.
also, pasta is one of the most flexible grains. goes well with any vegetable on the planet. try it...you'll like it!

You are so sweet, (e:James). :-) I ended up blending the acini de pepe with bulghur and now its marinating in an almond, apple and banana smash in the fridge.
I really need to get butter and eggs for the bread but I am having a terrible time working myself up to buy either of those. Believe it or not, I walked to the Coop yesterday but walked right back because I couldn't work up the conviction to buy butter and eggs! I am hoping I can reach a compromise midweek. Sometimes, I think my schoolwork psychologically interferes with my diet big time! A wicked piping voice is always screeching at me to practice what I will preach. :/

What kind of flour do you want? I will trade you.

what Paul said. Or even trade it for flour with somebody who likes pasta.

It just might work, but couldn't you just give it away or eat it and buy flower. Sounds like a big waste of energy.

OH MY! LOL! You are too much. I am dying here.. of laughter.
oh wait...
You are onto something!
Maybe that is a gargantuan mutant spider monster egg pod dangling in the corner of my porch.
OMG!
IT'S GOING TO HATCH!!!!
