So fresh and so clean, clean

1. DC and I bought a barely-used washer and dryer yesterday. We stopped by a consignment store looking for furniture, and we saw a few things we liked OK, but we didn’t buy any of them…except a relatively new washer and dryer. They look to be in great shape, and they were much cheaper than buying them new. We put them on layaway and will pick them up when we have the moving truck.

2. When we got home last night, the door was locked in a way that we don’t lock it (there are two locks: the doorknob lock and the deadbolt. We only ever lock the deadbolt. But the doorknob was locked). So apparently the landlord was in there again. *sigh* Just a little over a week and we never have to worry about that particular problem again.

3. I had a funny dream last night. I was back in junior high, and I was hanging out with my family and my friend Sarah Teas, who had a perm (unrelated detail, but it’s nice to know my subconscious dated her hair accurately). My brother, who was about 7 at the time, was sad because he was sure he was going to be little forever. I said to him, “I know it’s going to be hard for you to believe, but I have come from the future, and I can personally guarantee that you will grow up to be 6 feet tall and 250 pounds of solid muscle.” He seemed to be comforted by that.

4. I finally got around to making a favicon for this site (the little image to the left of the URL in your browser, assuming you are using a modern browser such as awesome Firefox (Side note: why has mozilla.org been so down/slow lately?). I don’t know why my favicon looks all rumply pumply, though. I’ll keep working on it.

  1. http://www.mozilla.com has been slow b/c they released Firefox 1.0.

    It’s being downloaded like crazy (it was listed on Slashdot)

    That’s fair, I guess. They did make the best browser in the world and all.

    I was going to ask about that favicon… and then I realized I had no idea what those are called, and I got disheartened. Looks somewhat less rumply-pumply than last I looked at it, though?

    Sadie: Yep, I did some work on it. Thanks for noticing!
