so on and so on

clickies brought to you today by [livejournal.com profile] foxestacado and [livejournal.com profile] tourmailine1973 <3<3<3

summit feast for troops and staff After the summit in Thailand was cancelled, rather than let the food go to waste they served the journalists, guards and various staff members the dinner. I don't know much about thai food (yes, i realize my license to live in Seattle is now under jeopardy - there are about seven thai restaurants within a three block radius of my apartment) but it sounds lovely. <3

twilight advertises using contact lenses okay, no matter what you think of the movie or the books, that's seriously fucking creepy. Look at the model. the whole idea gives me chills.

passenger lands plane after pilot dies. OMG.

icebreaker mission sets sail scientific american is starting a series of posts done by a couple of journalists on an icebreaker on the Bering Sea. This is the first one. (for extra bonus fun note pedantic comment which is pedantic at the beginning there.)

Found new ice-cream dessert thing (cookie bottom + ice cream + fudge) by Ben and Jerry's at grocery store. bought two packages. ice cream = srs bzns. Have new toe up socks book to play with: am pondering ripping apart caston row from just-started socks to try toe-up. Will probably do this as i tend to cast-on tightly and have found that it cuts into my leg if i do it that way. more room at the toe to play with.

Despite that i am grouchy and tired of people today. Some random person patted me on the shoulder as she got past me in the post office line. Do not like being touched by complete strangers.

have picked up 'the open focus brain' from the library. looks short. therapist asked me to read it for next session (2 weeks away). some people have asked me to review it, which i will try to do.

tomorrow visit from new neurologist. scary thing: only missed circling 3 of the dozen or so symptoms on 'neurological complaints' list. do not want. appointment is at 9:20 tomorrow morning, which is also nervewracking.

I move that people who receive unwanted touch get a free penalty shot right back. Or at LEAST a free pass to scream at the offending party for a full minute.

Also, second link = OMG!awesome. My ex was a Cessna 1*2 pilot, and he used to tell me which radio channel to change the transponder to if he had a heart attack while we were flying. Am very grateful this did not happen.

The dead pilot scenario is one of my personal nightmares. OMG is absolutely the right response.

OH GOD I love Thai food. So much. Yay <3

Those contact lenses... repulsive.

Toe-up socks are the best thing EVER. You can try them on as you go and make them fit *perfectly*. Plus, no more toe-grafting! I even find myself converting the stitch patterns on cuff-down socks to knit toe-up.

I'm just amazed that there was a guy on the plane who knew how to fly a plane. And that they realized that the pilot was dead. I never see the pilot of the plane, so I'd never know the pilot was dead!

I am really, really terrified of those contact lenses. There aren't even words for how terrified I am.

On the other hand, I <3 Ben & Jerry's big time. (Who doesn't?) Especially the cinnamon bun flavor.

My brain must be a bit foggy (when isn't it?) today, because it took me a minute or two to figure out why the Twilight advertising was `scary'. It is, but Amy's a slow gal.

I can't think of any reason why a random person patted you. Grr! *acts as loyal guard dog*

Thai food is yum; most of it is relatively sweet instead of spicy :).

D: at contact lenses

Also, I hate people touching me when I don't expect it, but am unfortunately too polite to turn round and whack them (and then go "sorry, reflex reaction").

*hugs*
