livingdebSetting: far too early in the morning
R: "What do you want to do for your birthday on Saturday?"
me: "Sleep."
R: "But is there a special activity you would like to do?"
me: "Cuddle." (long pause) "You might want to ask me again later when I'm in a different frame of mind."
TV show of the day - "Collision" - Learn the dark secrets of the people in a six-car pile-up as police try to find the cause of the crash. Good BBC writing, available on DVD and Netflix streaming video, and it's five 40-minute episodes, so be careful or you might be up into the wee hours like llcoolvad if you're not careful.
Blog entries of the day - Eating Well On $1 A Day at Grocery Coupon Guide. Once upon a time, the author started couponing as a way to stockpile foods to donate to food pantries. After learning a few things, he told his sister he could probably eat pretty well on a dollar a day. This is what happens when you let your sister goad you.
From day 1: "I made two significant discoveries during dinner: 1) Not only do I not really enjoy cooking, I don’t know how to cook. It would have been good for me to consider this fact before I decided to do this. 2) I am not very partial to Pork and Beans. It would have been good for me to know this fact before I decided to buy two cans of it." Watch as he learns to cook and loses his ability to consume large quantities of sugar.
