Speck, did you know that Cute Overload and Boing Boing featured your teensy aminuls again? Search last week here for the posts if you didn't know.

1. Finally loving my hair again after my horrible haircut 6 months ago

2. Out of lunchtime vitamins; must buy more
3. Looking forward to getting back to the gym tonight.

1. Dunno what to think of my hair (it hasn't been touched with scissors since last January)
2. Lunch? oh yea I suppose it is 11.30... I need to go to the market and pick up some eggs n stuff
3. The agency just called and now I'm looking forward to a 2nd (phone) interview with the folks I interviewed with last week. Fingers crossed, cos I'm stoked about the company (biopharma/cancer research outfit).

and even more glad it's a phone interview, meaning I don't have to get dressed up and scrounge for gas money

1. Defragmenting my hard drive.
2. Blowing soap bubbles.

1. Have apparently been infected with deadly morphing super virus: it never goes away, just changes shape - today's version is stuffed up head & sneezing.
2. First day of diet: I want cookies so bad.
3. Museum mysteriously busy today; wtf? Who are these people and why didn't THEY have to go back to work and school? Think they are interplanetary terrorist cult members, particularly small girl with pigtails, overly cute, therefore suspect. Need Justice League to intervene.

WB, Specklet!

1. I appear to have broken my camera over New Year's Eve. And I wasn't even drunk.

2. My first work project of 2007 looks to be a good one, so I'm actually enjoying my first week back.

3. It's a gorgeous, sunny day, and I think I'm going to step out of the building for lunch. Yay!
posted by BoringPostcards 02 January | 13:29
1. Enui
2. The exceptionally dark morning has put me in the mood for hibernation
3. Feel like I have all the tools to make my life more fulfilling, but am hesitating, when you're on a rock or a diving board, about to jump.

1. Stayed home from work today to write college recommendations for students (shame on me... I had the whole week to do it and still didn't). 3 down, 13 to go (I need more coffee and kahlua).
2. I'm in day 11 of this miserable cold and box 3 of tissues.
3. Planning meatballs and ziti for supper.
posted by Pips 02 January | 13:32
1: have put on much weight over the last 2 or 3 weeks (either that or the clothes-shrinking fairies have been visiting
2: back home after dull day at work
3: pondering what I should use for my RSS feeds: Safari or NetNewsWire. And is NNW's paid-for version worth the bucks over the Lite version?
posted by TheDonF 02 January | 13:35
1. Moving day at work -- every month, for about half the year, we have to change desks and deskmates. It blows.
2. Looking forward to a trip to Virginia next weekend.
3. Am in complete empathy with pieisexactlythree's No. 3 item.

nice to see you again, Speckletina!

So you want a status report? Oh, I am gonna give you a status report.
Well, I am not going to tell you more than this, not because I do not yearn to (I so fucking wish I could make a post about it), but because I really shouldn't. Argh!

1. I received a phone call this morning in the wee-hours by a person who had someone close to her pass away this summer. This someone was a very respected person, for all of us but also for the community. So, she has just found out that he led a double life. Heh!
2. People actually *live* double lives. And here I thought that just fantasizing about a double life is wicked enough.
3. I am Sherlocking around reverse lookups right now as this said "double life" extended overseas (OMG!) and into the west coast (OMG! OMG!)

All I can tell you is that this year has started with a kick. A major kick. Or a lick, whatever.
posted by carmina 02 January | 13:44
1. Worst hangover in many years yesterday.

2. Lots of vitamins, water & sleep = much better, thanks.

3. Happy New Year!
posted by Doohickie 02 January | 13:47
1. I woke up at 10:30 which means I'll have to stay at work until 9 or 10 at night because I have stupid deadlines to meet.
2. Fuck Gerald Ford in the eye. National day of mourning?! He was a useless bastard who didn't do anything good for the world and who is now, thankfully, a rotting corpse, and the government is holding my mail up because of it? Fuck that noise, I have books on the way.
3. I smoke too much.

He was a useless bastard who didn't do anything good for the world

Eh, same could be said of 99.9% of the human race (including myself). He just had better press agents.
posted by jonmc 02 January | 14:08
Yes. But 99.9% of the human race doesn't get a "day of mourning" where mail doesn't get delivered.
posted by cmonkey 02 January | 14:13
This is true.

Eh. Postal workers could use they day off. Maybe it'll gruntle them.
posted by jonmc 02 January | 14:14
1. I woke up 1 hour late this morning.
2. Went to the post office at lunch, post office closed.
3. Got a money order to pay a bill, then realized the bill is payed quarterly, not monthly, so it isn't even due for 2 more months, which is why I never recieved said bill and instead was guessing about the due-ness of it.

Personally, 2007 is pretty crap so far.
posted by muddgirl 02 January | 14:14
Iconomy! My husband messed me up for life by saying "aminuls" a couple of times- I stutter and stumble every time I try to say animals.

That, and just look at it, don't say it: nececelery. I've had to totally delete necessarily out of my vocabulary.

One of my friends had the mnemonic "Never eat cake; eat sardine sandwiches and remain young" for necessary. For some reason that's always stuck with me, and helped on all the various manifestations of the word.

Right. Topic? Yes:

1. First day without full-time employment! But with freelance work! Whoo! Free time *and* a paycheck!

2. I had a really lovely weekend, including a minor emotional breakdown that kind of just needed to happen to release the last bit of holiday stress, so now I feel much better.

3. The lovely weekend involved a several-mile hike yesterday in the mountains, and the weather was gorgeous and the light was just perfect and the trees all smelled good and it was just such a nice way to start the new year.

1. Back in the office today after a week and a half of not. I don't mind it. Much.
2. I wouldn't mind going home. New Super Mario Bros. is newly in my possession and needs to be in my DS like now.
3. So for now, I'm biding my time by listening to James Brown's Funky People (Part 2) until quitting time.

1. It took three weeks, but my cold has finally left me.
2. Have to go back to work tomorrow after three days off. I need to hit the
lottery.
3. I love my hair right now, which means in two days I won't be able to do
anything with it, and it will drive me crazy.

Welcome back, Specklet!

1) She came.
2) She's gone.

1. I think I'm allergic to one of my tattoos
2. Roommate bought a PS2, I then spent $50 on used games in a fit of extreme responsibility.
3. NYE "date" stood me up, so he's lost any chance of even being invited to my weekly simpsons-family guy-american dad viewing and potluck dinner.

What kind of a double life did the deceased person lead, carmina?
posted by essexjan 02 January | 15:18
(grabbingsand, you will love the New Super Mario Bros. It's a ton of fun.)

1. Looking forward to spending some time with The Reverend tonight and eating leftover turkey soup

cmonkey, does this mean you can't come over for SFU tonight? Poop.
posted by Specklet 02 January | 15:25
I'm afraid I can't, Specklet. Getting sick last week really set me back.
posted by cmonkey 02 January | 15:39
Getting sick sucks that way. Having to play catch up is no fun.

heh! jan. maybe he does continue in afterlife too. Wouldn't that be convenient? ;-)

carmina: I am also very curious about your friend's double life.

jonmc: I knew you could do a good music blog. Well done!

1. Last weekend was the best weekend ever with my boyfriend.
2. Yes, despite coming down with a urinary tract infection and having to spend part of New Year's Eve day in the emergency room facilities.
3. Tonight, I rumble with the landlord and the lease paperwork. Good thoughts, everyone!
posted by TrishaLynn 02 January | 16:59
1. I missed Specklet
2. I think my morning sickness has returned. Can it do that in the last trimester? I bet it can.
3. I have to bake 2 dozen cupcakes and then decorate them all to look like lions.

trish and anyone else, I will tell, if you buy me a beer :)


jrossi,
I think my morning sickness has returned. Can it do that in the last trimester?
sure it can. A specialist will tell you that that's because the baby's grown so much it presses on your stomach. My mom would tell you it's because the baby gets hair.
posted by carmina 02 January | 17:08
Dammit. I thought it was the stomach flu, but it's getting worse not better. Fargin' hairy kid!

Well with that new piece of intel, I'm changing #2 to:

2. I read a book last night!! I haven't finished a book in months.

TrishaLynn:

2. Yes, despite coming down with a urinary tract infection and having to spend part of New Year's Eve day in the emergency room facilities.

The first time I got an UTI I was so freaked out I went to the emergency room. I didn't have medical insurance then and it cost $400.

Last week I got one again and I didn't want another $400 bill so... get this... I toughed it out! I'd say I suffered far more worth in pain. I envy you your antibiotics.

Are we doing fancy numbers? :)

01 Finally shaking bacterial infection.
10 Scared about new job.
11 Even more hoops need to be jumped to replace my ID, which was stolen.

1. Just ate piece of wonderfull pizza with pieces of sausage as big as my computer's mouse - and plenty of garlic.
2. Just noticed the t-shirt I've been wearing all day smells strange in one spot, unrelated to the stinky garlic.
3. Thought I had found an episode of Law and Order I hadn't seen... I was wrong...

Um: Had to come back to work again, after 10 days of idling
Dois: Lost a few pounds during these 10 days. Now I'm very close to the mythical BMI<=25. Yay.
Tres: After some months of isolation and nerdiness, I finally got back to a dancing/clubbing/socializing routine.

(If you can't afford a doc for a UTI, drink loads of cranberry juice--not juice drink, real cranberry juice. Lots and lots of it.)

halonine: The reason why I can't be nonchalant about antibiotics is that I have a history of kidney infection and have been hospitalized numerous times since I was born. Darn congenital defects...
