Today was a Research Day. Since it was a lovely warmish day, the Faithful Steed & I decided to exploring after work. As an added bonus, I got to see how the Faithful Steed weathered the winter. $300 dash to the rescue!

Here's the stats as recorded on eastbound 696 near the Lodge/Telegraph interchange. Faithful Steed was turning roughly 3400 RPM @ 70ish MPH:

I have a new CD!
I also have a new shirt!

I am such a consumer whore...and loving it.

{added at update}

Speaking of being a consumer whore, today I took the Faithful Steed out to eat. $63.55 & 21.48 gallons later, he was full. I guess the Faithful Steed was hungry. The best part is I could've fed him yesterday, but nooooooooo, I...

It has been suggested by one much prettier than I that I should dedicate a journal to that most glorious of dairy foodstuffs, cheese. Being a sucker for anything a cute brunette suggests, I will gladly acquiesce to her wishes.

Cheese. Cheese is good. The more stinky, the better (with exceptions, of course; the most notable being Limboigeh). To quote my father (who was quoting...

Oof...I gotta stop posting while frustrated.

I'm sure I screwed up last night, but I don't think it was quite THAT bad. I gotta keep a tighter leash on that portion of my brain.

On that note, it's a nice day so I'm off to drive around my corner of SE Michigan. First to the Post Office, then to an auto parts store, and then...

A little poem for the masses:

I once knew a man named Art
Who so loved to fart.
And his hair he did part
With the business end of a Cuisanart.

Thus ends the poem for the masses.

Please remember to tip your waitress, folks.

(No, I ain't drunk. Just tired. A little giddy too.)

The week, she progresses.

In other news, I'm sick of inventory. My Sicilian lackadaisical view on organizing ("Hey it's around here somewhere; I'm sure I'll find it eventually.") has trumped my Teutonic need for ORDER and DISCIPLINE.

I think I shall continue reading Ringworld. Yes, that's a bang-up idea alright.

{update}

Or not. There are days I wish I hadn't left Colorado...

Today is Inventory Day. I recently upgraded my inventory from an AppleWorks 6.2.9 spreadsheet to Delicious Library. Unfortunately, AppleWorks & Delicious Library do not communicate well, so I have to transfer everything by hand. Ugh.

The count as of 1:51PM EDT?

--29 books
--28 DVDs
--215 CDs (includes whole albums downloaded from iTunes)
--5 games

I should have bought that Bluetooth barcode reader...

In honor of today's book shopping activities, I decided to dust off my old Yahoo! Messenger ID. So if there's some creepy dude with the handle "putzomag" knocking on your door, don't worry, that's just me.

DAMMIT!!! If only I had checked last night...

{yet another addition}

Beautiful.

Thank you all for your input into my dinner Saturday. However, I put off my decision until Sunday when I had Frito Pie. Mmm...Frito Pie...

Tomorrow I will have Dolly's #5. Then all my dietary cravings will be covered for the week.

Frito Pie or Dolly's Pizza?

Decisions, decisions.

I have got to stop nodding off on my couch...

In other news, the Faithful Steed (hereafter known as the Rolling Ground Problem) has been upgraded with a $300 dash. Pics for the uncaring masses will be coming forthwith.

In other news, uh, stuff is happening. And my dreams are getting really, REALLY weird. I wish I could remember the details, but let me tell...

SYH was supposed to be out on the town this evening. He even had his Green Shirt of Death all laid out--wrinkles shaken out and everything.

But no. Some shmuck had to park a $39.95 U-Haul across my rear bumper, thereby blocking me in for the night. Who the hell moves into an apartment at night? I've seen neither hide nor hair of the culprit(s)....
