this would be a fantastic resource (as cnn says), except it's not free!

i understand the need to recoup the costs associated with the project, but i'm not too excited to learn that the average user has to pay for it. i'd like to see a few for kicks, but i'm not willing to pay. i'd like to note that as far as i know, the library of congress doesn't require similar charges for its digitized collections.

whew. i finished all of my picks just in time!

i won a seed pool about 4 years ago. i haven't been able to replicate the feat since. this isn't entirely bizarre because i know absolutely nothing about basketball!

i am currently munching on a tin of scandinavian cookys (you know, the kind everyone gets at christmas -- the ones with the sugared pretzel cookys) while pondering what to order for dinner.

it's this whole metric on what i most want to eat (who the hell knows, i never do!) and what delivery place will get it here first.

if i don't decide soon, it will be cookys for dinner, except they really aren't that fabulous. cept for the sugar on top.

i've seen a lot of yammer about folding paper models lately.

i just wanted to share that i have a folding "coin bus" courtesy of a friend at the department of transportation.

now that's cool.

nancy drew girl detective clothing and accessories!

check out the enlarged swatch, including such witticisms as:

• nancy, go after that man!
  
• my diamonds! they're gone!
  
• with her lipstick she wrote an SOS backward on the pane
  
• i only hope my masquerade will bring results!
  

it's all very anne taintor. cute and twisted at the same time.

truly pathetic that city officials are blaming this on a paralegal.

yeah, it's a stupid mistake. but piss poor judgment to blame it on support staff.

they should have just fessed up to being taken. (do we really think the paralegal came up with the idea to ban the cups on his own?)

(i once asked a friend while viewing a job opening at a firm there)

the rock and roll hall of fame!

except that the inductees (a very fine group this year) are inducted in new york.

go figure.

yay prince!

sorry. i have a thing. i can't help it. no really. this has been going on for quite some time.

crap at school is keeping me until late every night this week.

we are not amused.

in better news, i am visiting warm places twice this month. this makes me happy.

always in search of a good organizing system. i haven't checked it out, but if you have perennial issues with bookmark organization in internet explorer: onfolio.
