Crafts, technical problems, college, ramblings

Yesterday, I built a paper towel holder to mount under our cabinet at home. We already had one made out of metal, but it wa s spring loaded, and if you were not careful ripping the towel, you ended up pulling the whole roll off the holder, and unrolling it halfway across the kitchen. So I decided to build this one. The only thing that still needs to be done is to stain it to match the cabinets. Not bad, for one day’s work, except maybe I should have drawn up a grand plan, with measurements, before I started.

Then I went to post the pictures of it (HERE), and discovered my navbar had stopped working. Turns out, when I added the pictures from Grammie’s Birthday party, I had one missing quote, ” instead of “”, and so the whole thing stopped working right. Don’t you love computers?
Five minutes later, it was fixed, but it’s still annoying.

I was supposed to make some progress in cleaning my room today (before I depart for college, and the room gets another use), and should leave for work in an hour, so it’s probably time to sign off.

Or not..a few more thoughts. A&J now has a website, although it is definitely one of the poorer sites i have seen, design wise.

And I got my (college) roommate assignment today. I have an e-mail address for him, but have no clue what to say/write, etc. I always hate meeting new people, and especially hate trying to make new friends. I think I’ll probably wait a few days, and see if he does anything, and put it off for a few days. He’s from Kansas, so he’ll probably get the letter tomorrow.

Okay, off to my room I go, to attempt to rearrange things so it looks cleaner. (How many people actually clean their rooms? Perhaps I should…it’s been at least since high school, if not longer! And I really should go.

Bye.

Dumb Blondes — Is there some truth?

Yahoo! News – Do Dumb Blonde Jokes Slow Mental Activity??

Okay, no offense to any blondes out there, but this study shows that after you are exposed to a dumb blonde joke, blondes think slower. (They think that it’s so that you won’t mess up and perpetuate the myth.)

But it is not totaly a myth–I’ve seen a few blondes who are not terribly intelligent. However, I know some very smart blondes, too.

Let’s see how far I can go in trying to make a point without offending anyone. Another paragraph? I think not
