and while we're posting

Popping in again with a CWU (yay). But I didn't want that to be top thing on my LJ, so what's new with me? Mostly school, and how everybody I know who is in school is just shriekingly sick of this quarter. I don't know what it is, but it's true. We've all got the emo flu or something. (Oh, and speaking of which, jwz found the best local news story evar, you should clickie.)

annathepiper and I went down to Westlake Centre last weekend and I got these really cool metal shelves at Daiso. They're free-standing wire-rack shelving, the nice kind that I used in Din's bathroom, only, I dunno, HO-scale or something. They're modular, and so flexible, and so fit in our weird under-the-stove pots-and-pans storage space, and now we have a cheap solution to our no-longer-endlessly-annoying pan storage problem. Yay! It sounds like such a pointless thing, but it's so much nicer not to have to worry about Ambush Stacking anymore.

Well, there, anyway.

So if you're down at Westlake - say, at the new Lush which opened two days ago, w00t! - go downstairs to Daiso, too.

Anyway, we got that, and I got new shoes - my old ones were worn through their soles again - and a new backpack that doesn't suck (the $4 one I was hoping would make it through the year didn't even last two quarters!) at REI, and that was fun.

And no, I haven't written the bit I talked about last weekend yet. I'm t3h failure.


Scale Leafs
Whup, 4" of snow at Murkworks North and counting. I looked outside and thought, "gosh, that's up to a couple of inches now" and checked and HOLY CRAP over 4" @whee! I wonder how it is elsewhere? They were predicting an inch or less, still, earlier this evening - but I see they've updated that a bit as of 9:30(ish), and are saying up to three additional inches overnight. I wonder whether I'll have school tomorrow.

It's not cold enough, I don't think, to do any harm to the garden. I haven't planted anything new yet, I just did the second round of soil prep last week, so I don't have any new shoots to worry about.

I'm really looking forward to planting stuff, though. I've decided I want to build a second a second cold-frame specifically for the smaller garden bed; I think the larger one would just get ripped up if I tried to use it there. It's a pretty good (and certainly easy to build!) design I have, but the plastic drop-cloth sheeting I use isn't the strongest thing in the world.

ScienceBlog has a more serious take on the whole Conservapedia fiasco, but really, I'm too busy giggling at this image. Apparently Jesus is filling in for Fred.

I just went to that Daiso store for the first time the other day (though at the Alderwood location). That store really appeals to the knick-knack cheap-ass pack rat in me. I had way too much fun in there, and would have spent much longer in there had I had the time. I definitely gotta return soon. I think it's about the only thing I'd go back to the mall for. :P

Glad I'm not the only one that enjoyed that silly little store. :)

I'm just so happy with the little shelves, I can't say. ^_^

Now I need to go back and drown myself in cute erasers!
