livingdebToday I attended a pig bake. As our hostess said, "This little piggy ... didn't make it to market." Last week she also made some comment about helping to move a dead body into the freezer.
My favorite part was ... the apple pie. I also quite enjoyed Robin's bean salad and devilled eggs. Those pre-boiled pre-shelled cage-free eggs at Trader Joe's may become quite the temptation.
That was lunch. For supper we finally tried the burgers at Parkside during their happy hour (when they're half price). Research results: These are not our new favorite burgers. (My current favorite is probably from North by Northwest, but I can't remember the burgers at all the other places I've been well enough to be sure.)
I also worked on Spanish. I have many, many flashcards.
It seems likely that it is impossible to do the recording portion of my homework on any of the electronics that I own. I have written to the company that created my online text even though I'm pretty sure they won't have a solution for me a) in case I'm wrong and they do have a solution and b) because they should feel some pressure to support Linux.
Robin will try to rig something for me on one of his spare computers. Or I could just try to do so well on all the other assignments that zeroes on those won't ruin my grade. I'm just pretty annoyed that somebody has to give money to Microsoft, which I consider evil, or Apple (for a big computer, not the cute one I have on which much of the book doesn't work), which is also a little more evil than I prefer in some ways, just to properly take this class.
Now I'm strangely tired and it's not even 7 pm yet.
Spanish fact of the day - To talk about times after the half hour, you use the 'til strategy. For example, 10:50 is ten 'til eleven and 4:45 is a quarter 'til five. But also 6:31 is twenty-nine 'til 7 (literally, seven minus twenty-nine).
