Friday Five

I'm starting this at 1 minute to midnight. So, technically, still Friday, even though it won't be once I post it.

1. Name five things in your refrigerator.
- A huge ziplock bag of pasta salad given to me by the nice woman who wrote the horrible soft jazz we're singing. That's gotta be like three or four meals in that bag.
- a plate of mine with food belonging to Craig that's been growing mold for a couple months. It means I'm down one plate, and when the others are all dirty, this is problematic. But I don't want to say anything, 'cause it's not as though I clean up my stuff either. If I ever need the plate I'll say something.
- a big rectangular metal cannister of maple syrup
- fat free American singles. Mostly for grilled cheese sandwiches.
- a partially-used package of pre-shredded "Mexican cheese," which gets used for anything from quesadillas to grilled cheese sandwiches.

2. Name five things in your freezer.
- a loaf of my dad's Christmas pandolce. Worrying that I've still not eaten it and it's almost Christmas again. Hope it's not freezer-burned.
- 4 slices of cranberry bread also from nice woman w/ horrible music
- package of corn kernels
- frozen boneless chicken bits
- some empty ice trays, some full ice trays, some partially-filled ice trays

3. Name five things under your kitchen sink.
- iron for the dogwood. I haven't fed it since last year, and I think it's just a little unhappy, maybe. Some of the leaves are turning, but some of them are just turning brown.
- plant food for other plants, such as tomatoes, which I currently haven't got
- stuff to shine the metal on the doorknobs. Brasso?
- Ajax (vel sim.)
- bits of rag (including some of Craig's old socks) to use for cleaning things

4. Name five things around your computer.
This really depends where it is. I'll do where I've been leaving it during the day.
- Two dirty bowls which once held tomato soup
- both OCT volumes of the Iliad
- DMV car registration form
- CDs with texts and images for papyrology
- shells that I gathered on the beach in Long Island

5. Name five things in your medicine cabinet.
- a bottle with one remaining pill of Aciphex
- Walgreens-brand Excedrin generic
- dissolvable Alavert (Claritin substitute)
- extra heads for my razor
- Cold-Eez bubble gum

Photo update advisory

Gradually, I'm gathering together pages of photos from this summer. The photos from France, which are not nearly nearing a state of completion, but which have quite a lot of bits already, can be found here, but more importantly (since that's old news), the first little bit of my graduation photos is now online, too.

E-mail from my mother to me, pursuant to my commenting on blogs:

What's a blog??


E-mail from me to my mother, in reply:

Short of weblog. It's like keeping a journal online, kind of. Most
people seem to, these days. So do I, but I'm not telling. :P

(Don't go looking for it, either, or I'll just lock all the posts and you
won't be able to read it.)


Her response:

Don't worry. There is no way I would look for your web journal. I don't
want to know how you are spending the precious little time that you have!

Love,
Mommy


I do love my mother.
