1) Well, in case you haven't heard the tragic news, Borders is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which I just learned a few seconds ago (see this post) means they're reorganizing the company. Still, it's sad how they're closing 200 more stores.
2) I am not already planning for NaNoWriMo. I can't help it! When you're waiting for class to start, there's not a whole lot to do...
3) Remember a few weeks ago how the Midwest was in the midst of THE winter storm?
(At the end, I said, "But wait! You haven't seen the backyard!" It was pretty much the same and boring.)
Well, check this out.
It is like that everywhere. It's like, Snow? What snow?
4) Fun thing to do with Facebook. (Plundered it from Erin at Quitting My Day Job. :D) First, go to Facebook. Then, copy the following code into the address bar.
javascript:(function(){fcb=function(d){ktndata=d;var p=document.getElementsByTagName('img');for(var i in p){p[i].width=p[i].width;p[i].height=p[i].height;p[i].src=d.items[Math.floor(Math.random()*(d.items.length))].media.m;}};if(typeof ktndata=='undefined'){var jp=document.createElement('script');jp.setAttribute('type','text/javascript'); jp.setAttribute('src','http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne? tags=kitten&tagmode=any&format=json&jsoncallback=fcb'); document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(jp);} else{fcb(ktndata);}})()
Don't worry, it's harmless. To "fix" it, just go to your profile and all will be restored. (Also, you can do this with any website with pictures.)
5) Quote from class last night.
Teacher: "But actually, the first six months of a relationship are comparable to being mentally unstable."*
Me to Kirstin: (Quietly) "That explains Twilight."
Kirstin: (Collapses in laughter)
*It was something like that.
OK. I'll do a proper post on Monday. Since that seems to be my blogging schedule now. M/W/F. :) Have a good weekend, everybody!
Aren't random posts fun to write? And they're fun to read, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm sad about Borders closing, too. I loved all the "extra" stuff they had besides books and music (T-shirts, posters, toys, games, etc.) B&N just doesn't have as much of that! I'm going to Borders tonight to spend the rest of a gift card that I've had for a while...
Your backyard looks a lot like mine right now! We still have 2-3 feet high mound at the side/end of our driveway, but the rest is gone! YAY!
Have a good weekend.
