A few things
Feb. 1st, 2012 11:48 pmHuzzah for Washing (state) voting for marriage equality!
Now I know of two kinds of extremely unkosher chocolate: with bacon, or made with camel milk.
Legal online interaction: elicit
Yesterday I was in line for quite some time getting my city parking permit, and found myself thinking in math problems:
1. if there are 4 (or 5, or 6) clerks working, and each person takes an average of 5 minutes getting a permit, about how long will the nth person in line wait?
2. given a particular back and forth queue pattern, assuming each person takes about 2.5 feet in line and everyone moves at the same rate, will two given people be able to face each other and chat? if so, how many times?
Are there more ongoing characters with disabilites on TV these days, or am I just noticing it more?
(Off the top of my head, I can think of at characters who are blind, deaf, extremely autistic, extremely Asperger's, OCD, or agoraphobic.)
Best unexpected thing today: being gifted a bag of dried bits of coffee cherries; I suspect I'll be using some to make orange-coffee cherry liqueur, and comparing it to orange-coffee liqueur.
Best unexpected thing yesterday: winning a copy of a book of Syrian folk tales; I have no idea what to expect of them, which makes it that much better.
I didn't win the lottery for getting a ticket to Black Rock City. I'm currently tending towards thinking of this as an indication I should take a year off, especially given the expenses. If so, I hope I'll get to see at least some of the long-distance friends I usually see there who also didn't get tickets. And that means I could choose to put more money towards BRC-related Kickstarter campaigns, of which I'm sure there will be many. And send something nice to the post office, even if it's just an envelope of postcard stamps, though something more intricate would be cool too (and maybe ask them to send me a postcard back, perhaps signed by whoever would like to :-).
Today's new-to-me music: Die Antwoord's I Fink U Freeky (warning: the photo image is somewhat disturbing).
