the everyday adventures of sabrina

• Scored some new (to me) plastic storage things on Craigslist, scrubbed them out, and excited to put my yarn in them tomorrow! #
• Totally rearranged the closet. Got rid of a few more boxes of stuff I hadn’t yet unpacked. Down to two, which won’t get unpacked. Yay! #
• Lazy Saturday, bumming around sorting out the house and listening to my one true love, Radio 1. #
• Having gone into watching the US remake of Life on Mars expecting to be unimpressed, I still feel let down. Jesus, just show the original. #

• Today is a day for the Clash. #

• French pop is very odd. #
• @shadow Tegan and Sara! How fun. Je suis jalouse. #

• Seriously. MAKE THIS FOR DINNER. http://tinyurl.com/4w9asz #
• Stay classy, Strongsville! http://tinyurl.com/42s48n (I’d take Brunswick any day.) #
• Oooh, hooray! Vanguard emails me to inform that my latest 403(b) statement is ready. I wonder if it will have a 20% loss, or 25%?!? #
• Simplest, stupidest, should be easiest request in the world is so difficult as to be effectively impossible. Must restrain fist of death. #
• Trader in the elevator: ‘if you live another 50 years, you’re never gonna figure this market out.’ #
• Baseball demotivation: http://tinyurl.com/48krhp #
• I laughed, I cried, I mostly laughed though: http://tinyurl.com/52jhm4 #
• @suchagirl The same people who want to keep her out of the McCain meltdown so she’s around to run in 1012 at the top of the ticket! #
• Anyone want something to do this evening? http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/tix/872934780.html #
• !!! http://www.hulu.com/watch/38316/slacker !!! #
• Quicken tells me that as of today I have lost 1/6 of my rather hard-saved net worth since 31 August. Quicken is *not* my friend. :( #
• @smokes70 Haha! That was awesome. Totally way better than anything else the stupid Interwebs have told me today. :) #

• Fell on still-injured right knee in ice skating class today. Icing it gives me an excuse to watch debate on tivo, at least. #
• Hmf. I only got to watch about the first half of the debate last night; apparently I missed the contentious bit. Naturally. #
• @shadow “That one!” In the very oddest tone of voice. It was a little bizarre. #
• @chowbok What did they have to say? #
• Today’s wisdom is wasy, on the myth of rational and efficient markets: “You’re all fucking crazy.” #

• So baseball is over for the year. Sad. At least we got an extra week out of it. Maybe next year we’ll learn to play in domes. #
• Why is it always the machines where I /don’t/ need a world-writable setuid root binary lying around where people leave them lying around? #
• I mean, I could really go for something mode 6777 owned by root right about now! #
• In which I was completely stumped at work today: http://ziggurat.org/sysadmin/?p=25 #
