Just got this cutout in the store the day they changed our uniforms so we don't wear that same apron anymore. Obviously I made some adjustments.

Jun. 4th, 2004 05:27 pmToday I put on my favorite (well, only) pair of jeans, and the small hole in the thigh became a huge gash. They are now suitable only for making a pair of cutoffs. Justin took me to Old Navy and bought me a new pair, then we went next door to Best Buy, where we found the BEST MICROWAVE EVAR!!!one.
It has a TOASTER built in.
It's so incredibly nifty! It's all silver and nifty and there's a TOASTER built in and I want it and it's really cheap. So if our next apartment doesn't come with a microwave, we're buying that one. Two-in-one appliances are so very 1950s-futuristic.
Speaking of 1950s futuristic, we also found THE washer and dryer set that, if shown to a housewife in '55, would make her firmly believe that the future would turn out just as they'd told her. They are made by LG (same as the microtoaster and my cell phone) and have big silver-rimmed see-through portholes in the front and turn 1100 RPM. I don't know if it comes with a centrifuge attachment, though.
When we got home it turned out I'd lost the remote, so we tore the living room apart, didn't find it, went to Target and bought a universal remote. When we got the universal home and started programming it, we discovered that it would not set the "input" mode of my tv so the DVD player was effectively rendered useless. While I was wailing, gnashing my teeth and rending my garments, Justin found the original remote.
I tied the remote to the coffee table with a three-foot length of twill tape. I will never lose it again, unless somehow the coffee table gets lost. If it's that bad in here I'll need a hazmat team to clean house for me. The other remote now resides on the computer desk so I can have control from everywhere in the apartment.

Jun. 4th, 2004 06:53 pmApparently there's some guy driving a Caterpillar D-5 bulldozer - it amounts to pretty much a WWI-era tank - around some Colorado town, shooting off a gun and knocking over buildings. He took out the newspaper office and part of City Hall. The best part is that this isn't the first time that's happened in that area.
