idle musings

If I had thought ahead a little bit, I would have realized that shopping today would be full of fail. I cannot ever find anything that I like when I need it for a certain event or by a certain time. I am going to a wedding on Saturday afternoon and I wanted something summery [...]

Being a word junky, I love Free Rice. My new goal to achieve is 50,000 grains donated. I emailed them today because I had come across a word with a ‘correct’ definition that I did not agree with. I am an avid player on freerice.com. I am up to almost 25,000 grains and I try [...]

Reading this cemented why I probably will not go see Wall-E.
