"I think we've had a car accident, because I see skidmarks!"

I watched the Queer Eye For The Straight Guy christmas episode earlier today, and even though I generally don't like recap clip shows, 2 of the straight guy guinea pigs they reviewed were ones that I'd missed, so it was all good. I'm also noticing that I always like Kyan's shirts, for some reason.

My day wasn't quite as productive as I wanted, because I hauled myself out of bed early, and I was feeling pretty tired. I'm still feeling rather yuck right now, even. I did go out shopping today, and I got most of the things on my list at least partially done, but not as done as I'd like. I blame it on getting up without a full night's rest this morning, but at least I will get to bed at a more decent hour. Of course, I'm saying this at almost 2am, so that point is probably moot. ::rotfl::

I spent most of today working on the gifts that I'm making, so it's been fairly relaxing, on the whole--I won't talk about what they are just yet, though, because some of those people might read this. And yes, my fam has been known to check in on my LJ occasionally, esp. my dad. You guys would probably think I'd be more creeped out by that, but I'm not. :)

To do tomorrow: go to bank, do laundry, finish handmade gifts, wrap remaining gifts, finish freelance stuff, pick out CDs for trip, pack and load car, work out if I have time.

"Then have some Tofutti, for God's sake! Your cholesterol's 300; you're basically a solid!"

I am almost disturbed at how much I like this vinaigrette. Two parts olive oil, one part balsamic vinegar, one part lemon juice, add basil to taste. Whisk together and pour over your favorite salad. (I recommend some nice greens topped with grilled chicken breast and goat cheese crumbles) I could eat this every day.

I am *tired*. I couldn't fall asleep last night, and I still dragged myself out of bed at 10a this morning, so I'm just... blaaaaaahhhhh. Yuck, yuck, yuck. I made a pantload of progress on my knitting last night, though, and should have no trouble finishing it off today. Getting the other gifts done may be more of a trick, but I'm trying not to be too anal-retentive about them, as I generally am with artsy-craftsy projects. Gah, must not obsess over tiny details.

There was a sizeable earthquake down in California earlier today, about 35 miles away from my dad's work, even. That's probably not the best thing, when you work for a nuclear power plant. ::laughs:: But no, both units at the plant are fine, and my dad is obviously also okay, since he was able to send me and his buddies an e-mail about the quake like 10 minutes after the fact. It apparently shook up the building like a mo'fo', though.

In other, completely random news, I programmed the MacGyver theme song into my cell phone yesterday. Hee hee hee! :D Another reason why it's good to have knowledge of music.

I did all my errands that required leaving the house, so I have a quiet day ahead. I have a lot left to do, but I'm not sure what order to do it in. I should be near the computer sporadically this afternoon, though, so if anyone wants anything, feel free to pester me, even if an away message is up. It'll mostly be there to deter any random strangers who might slow my progress on the gifts. :)

EDIT: Neat survey: ( Fun music questions )

Gah. Must... not... be... distracted!
