The Great Library Card Collection : Colleen directed me to this strange web site, where a kid in California displays his (her? their name is Cory) collection of over 3000 library cards from all over the US. Way to go, kid.
QVC Forums - Host Lounge : I grew up in a house that watched tons of QVC, I know a couple people who work there (behind the scenes), and I’ll sometimes put it on for background noise when I’m at home, so this is really interesting to me! The actual QVC hosts answer fans’ questions about all sorts of stuff, like technical things about their jobs, what they do if they have to take a bathroom break, and favorite on-air bloopers. A really interesting read!
Bocci 22: The Outlet for Minimalists : Awesome wall outlet built right into the wall, so there’s no need for a plate to cover the wires. (But of course, difficult to install, and who knows how much it costs.) I’d like to see one of these for light switches...

The handyman called me on Wednesday last week and we planned for him to come out Friday to do my little job. GG and I went out Thursday night to get the doors and medicine cabinet for him to install (we ended up getting two, since the opening was an odd size), as well as new hardware (towel bar, etc.). The hardware style I picked was, of course, on clearance and therefore they were sold out of toilet paper holders in the style I liked. So GG hopped on the computer at Home Depot,...

I am so tired today. Last night we watched this documentary about Henry Darger , In the Realms of the Unreal , which I wasn’t planning on doing, so it pushed the rest of my schedule back a couple hours. So I went to bed late, in the first place. Then there were these horrible thunderstorms all night, and usually storms don’t wake me up, but these were terrible. So every time I’d fall asleep, another clap of thunder would wake me. Even the cats were nervous - both Sacha and I...
