And Then ...

One of my new favorite websites of late is the incredibly stupid cheezeburger cats. When I first saw them I would just roll my eyes in disgust, but you know ... sometimes, it just makes me laugh.

Strangely, I have not eaten dinner tonight, nor have I felt the need to. It's about a quarter to eight; maybe later. I'll throw something together, but I'm not that hungry. (Why am I thinking of the line in Friends, a flashback show to when Monica was fat and says that she's not hungry and her father says "She's finally full!") Mostly, I just nosh a lot, but I don't think I've had anything for the last few hours. Maybe I'm finally full.

So my strange splurge of the day, other than the facial which was totally wonderful and not a splurge but a necessity, was that I bought a Dyson hand-held vacuum. I could have gotten a full-size Dyson, but do you know what those things cost? FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS! For a vacuum cleaner! I have a perfectly good Kenmore canister vacuum, but it gets very heavy to lug around, and I had a good coupon, so I got one of these, you should pardon the expression, little suckers. I charged it for three hours, as per the directions, and it worked for three minutes. So now I'm charging it overnight and we'll see. The directions, by the way, are in pictographs, no words. It took me forever to figure out how to charge it and put it together. The precautions -- you know, don't let an animal operate the machine, don't use it in the bathtub -- are printed in eight languages, but in order to assemble it, you have to be fluent in hieroglyphics.

It rained all day today, but apparently much less than was anticipated, so New York City did not grind to a halt and take over the news. It was just rain.

I'm really glad that I'm reading a lot this summer. Next, I've got two histories here, both Revolutionary War era, one novel, and one sappy Mitch Albom. Not sure which way to go next. I'd also like to re-read the newest Harry before school starts, but I'm listening to it in the car, can't do both at once, that's very confusing.

Oh, I suppose I should eat something before it's time to go to sleep.
