  • Just made lime marmalade. 9 half-pint jars, 1 pint jar, and 1 cup in a tupperware thingie. Who wants some!??! #
  • Am being forced to jump through a ton of hoops for Amex. Who insist they have been trying! and trying! to call! Why have gotten no vm, then? #
  • @bestof1000 Emissions testing facility. Queue’s just as long, people waiting just as bitter, only with extra carbon monoxide flavoring. #
  • @richardroeper But…but…but… parade :( #
  • Made appt with DePaul advisor to talk about transfer options. Yikes– feels scarily like almost making a decision. #
  • @mizmoose Woot indeed! #

  • @YarnHarlot Here’s what you need to know about Fox News. http://tinyurl.com/cvhl5g Or, as some say, Faux News. #
  • I just learned why swissfrancs are abbreviated CHF. Silly polyglot countries and their silly Latin fallback plans. #
  • @hubbit Yankee Stadium? #
  • The idea of Crede the Twinkie, … it still burns. #
  • @writchrd Yes, but then again, I have the intelligence of a blob of cotton candy. For reals, yo. #
  • Hm. Weekend project did not go quite according to plan. Contemplating how to go from here. #
  • @eddieizzard In Chicago, waiting for promised thunderstorms to descend. In 30th fl apt w/west view, facing the storm’s approach. Fun! #
  • @sanityknit @Kbcraigs Ha ha, Kelson’s a dormrat! #

a plot doomed from the outset — or is it?

I think I’m not going to buy anything in April.

I’m going to try and go a whole month without buying anything*. No breakfast muffin on the way to work, and no books. No groceries either. Well, maybe an exemption there for the produce section; you can’t take my bananas away from me. But mostly no groceries. No yarn and no cleaning supplies and no yummy hand lotion from The Body Shop and no clothes. No coffee on my way to class. No iTunes (oh, ouch).

I’m not having a panic-oh-my-god-i-have-to-save-money event. I’m just curious to see if I can do it. What’s the worst that can happen here: I clean out my freezer and use up a bunch of crap I already have?

* – Well, anything except Tiger’s diabetes supplies and cat food and stuff. Insulin’s 28-day usable lifespan waits for no one’s attempt at social engineering herself for entertainment.

chez niqui, finances, life goals none

  • @sanityknit Whee! KnS, huh? You’re all big timey! Will you still speak to those of us who have to stop & think about decreases?! #
  • Aiee. Hands are killing me. Next time I get a bright idea for a “quick” weekend project, someone please stop me! #
  • @smokes70 That’s one of my favorite bits! I make all kinds of friends on the train. Temporary, but friends. #
  • @tutumagu Oh, no, I totally have — I swear /way/ more these days. (And more creatively!) #
  • @YarnHarlot Argh. That article infuriates me at least one more way than it does you… I’m sorry we treat you guys so badly. #
  • New /etc/system post: I know it’s in there. http://ziggurat.org/sysadmin/?p=28 #
  • Oh, CNBC, why are your people’s wardrobes such a consistent, epic fail? Blue checked shirt + asshole collar with bright pink satin tie? NO #
  • Jesus, Dow up like 500 pts? We REALLY liked today’s lies. Bet we’ll hate tomorrow’s. Hey buddy, can you spare some stability? #

  • Lazy Sunday — working on a knit project that, if it turns out well enough, will be a surprise for someone. If not… weeelll… we’ll see. #
