This was an umm… interesting week. With the holiday, school starting, and my mid-week 24 hour stomach bug things didn’t go quite as I had planned. One of my foibles is being obsessive about schedules and I’ve been trying to be better at going with the flow – something always seems to throw a kink in it.
This week I have WordPress, Facebook, William Gibson, school supplies, and more.
Enjoy

I can’t stand buying items I consider wasteful, like paper towels, that I never purchase for my home. I was so tempted to send in a couple of washable rags. ;-)

I’ve been obsessed with Farscape recently and don’t know how I missed this sci-fi series when it was on between 1999-2003. It’s dark but has some really funny moments.
Farscape was friggin awesome, you buying the DVD’S?
Hi Dennis – I’ve been thinking about it but I’ve found that when I buy the DVD set for a show I rarely watch it. My brother owns it – he got me interested in the show – so I could just borrow his.
Hi Kim,
Thanks for the morning reading to the coffee in the sun. I did like the post about Old cell phones and A.K.Streeter article about 2 billion Pencils
Hi Marbella – Glad you found some good morning reading :-)
Hi Kim,
I just found your site and I guess I’m going to need more time to explore.
But I had to write because you mentioned Farscape…and like you I never heard about it until I was looking for a new sci-fi series to watch and I bought the whole package on ebay…and I loved it.
I was sad when I finished watching it…
Will be back
Hi Lise – At first I didn’t want to watch it. I thought because it had puppets that it would be for kids. But it’s not for kids at all and it’s such a great show. I’m halfway through season 4.
