Lost!

In honor of Lost, which on tonight, I thought I'd inform you all of the things I know I'm missing (NOTE: since I do so so often, I will not be including DVDs in this list, but know that that list has grown, and once I update my inventory, I'll be sure to post it here so that you can all start looking.)

- student ID
- Intro to Music Syllabus
- Botany notebook

That's really about it... it felt like more, but then again I'm always kind of overreacting. Chances are I threw one or more of the items into the trash during one of my purging sessions, but who knows? If you see any loose papers fluttering around in the gutter, you might pick em up and see. Thanks in advance.

Right now I'm at work, and I'm using my boss's computer which actually allows me to post on my blog (the one I use is inept). What's more, I get to listen to iTunes radio, which is nice, except for now the ambient alternative sounds of my music are in competition with a co-worker's religious station. Oh wait. She turned it off. That's nice.

I played only about thirty minutes worth of LOTR: Third Age last night, so that's promising. Since I can't find my lab notebook and therefore cannot do any homework, I did a Google search of my name earlier (as any bored narcissist would) and found that my blog actually comes up. I thought that was exciting. Also appearing were some news articles from my old days in Science Olympiad, a mention of some academic award I got back when I was smart, and a write-up of and pictures from a Mardi Gras party I did some decorating for back when I lived in Putnam (probably right around the time I started my blog). They didn't show or even mention the most ingenious portion of my decorative work, which were some awnings I created with butcher block paper, but whatever. Not like I'm bitter.

What other mundane things can I tell you? I baked myself a frozen pizza last night for dinner. It was a DiGiorno thin crust with chicken, spinach, and tomato. It was really very good, although I've decided that I want to throw my pizza stone in the trash and buy myself a good old orthodox pizza pan. I also need a new cookie sheet because I threw my old one away after it kind of got ruined when a friend cooked some squash on it and then left it there. Meh. If we're being honest, I really could do with a good deal of new kitchen equipment. My pots and pans, especially my big pot which was damaged last Halloween when my friend wore it on his head as his costume (a "pothead"... my idea... didn't think it through very well) should probably be replaced, and my steak/cutting knives really kind of suck. I also dislike my toaster, which has the unfortunate habit of allowing bread slices and pop tarts to get stuck in its wirey grip, causing interesting odors and difficult to clean messes.

Back to the pizza for a moment, I burnt myself pretty nicely when I tried to take it out of the oven. I only touched the oven wrack for a split second, but there is a nice second degree burn on my wrist. It has turned kind of an opalescent lavender color which is fun I guess.

Sigh. I can't think of anything else to ramble about, so I suppose I'll let you get on with your life. As always, thanks for reading. Hope we can do it again sometime.
