The TV we purchased last week produced a continuous "plastic burning smell" that lasted for several hours every day. It also showed a very clear line down the center which was several inches wider at the top than at the bottom. The line near the bottom separated into two lines and criss crossed to form a little triangle. The picture also curved up at the right and left edges like it was on a very old CRT. So they're bringing us a replacement today between 1 and 6. Still don't have the damned stand for the thing. Which is going to annoy the fuck out of me if we don't have it by Sunday.

Last night I discovered that I apparently have beeturia. If the information in the source link is to be taken as fact then the absorption is totally understandable given my stupidly low (but not yet technically anemic) iron levels and my tendency to just... skip the iron pills. Still freaks me the fuck out to have red urine.

Today I plan on figuring out how to do "lineart" in powerpoint to make the point that tracing a picture and doing color fills is not motherfucking "art".


I'm using the icon from a new picture. I took that uh... last week I think, after coming back from seeing Cloverfield. Haven't done the cam whore thing in a long long time. Also, hey, glasses. heh.
