straight up

back from a lovely vacation in new york and on my second to last day at work.

yesterday, bleary-eyed and befuddled from getting into tampa at 11:30 pm (1:30 am bedtime), i opened my car door to head to work.  late, naturally - it's a wonder i was able to get up after going to bed at an ungodly hour.

what should greet me, but the retreating end of a scrabbling 1.5 inch roach headed under the driver's seat.



i took anthony's car.


last night i bought a roach hotel and set it under the seat.  this morning, i gingerly got in after inspecting the car (mostly) thoroughly and drove to work, stiff and clenched.

almost there, i see the dry winged thing.  marching, trundling, all straight legged and slowly on the floor of the passenger seat, headed to the darkness underneath.  i move all my items from the passenger seat to my lap, loudly humming strains of the 1812 overture over and over and over.

i park in the sun ("i'll fry the sucker if i don't kill it now") and jump out.  i settle my belongings on my person and work up the courage to open the passenger door to see if i can kill it.  hmm...  how far do i want to lean in?  not that far....

faux google reader, let's DO THIS

so, i'm bowing to pressure and will be using google plus a bit more, mostly in order to recreate a google reader/buzz experience.  it will still be a pain to switch between the two, but let's see how it goes, yes?  because i really miss you all!
 
process:  i created a "faux google reader" group of those who used to share on reader.  then, when i go to the home area, i can filter my view to only see this "faux google reader" group.  TA DA.
 
so expect me to post a bit more to plus.  not sure if i'll post to all friends, or just the faux group.  anyone know if google reader has a good app available?  i use byline, which i love, but i don't think it shares items in plus.  oh, technology.  oh, first world problems. 
 
... maybe i DO need to charge that tablet back up.  well, fuckity.

things i miss

shared items on google reader.  and google buzz, surprisingly.

some comments on hard lotion

may have used too much beeswax - this stuff is HARD.  having to scrape it out using the backs of my nails and/or a guitar pick.
 
it does soften up ok on the fingers and keeps hands moisturized.  or maybe not so much moisturized as... protected in a very waxy manner.
 
used a bit on my legs/ankles since they get rather dry and in the shower last night, found it difficult to scrub off.  oops!
 
 
next time, more shea butter/coconut oil, i think.
