I had one exam today at seven in the morning, which meant I needed to get up at five. Except the Alpha Geek in bed next to me started snoring around four, and I figured I wasn’t getting to sleep again before five anyway. So I got up.

Thank goodness for the intarwebz. How else could we ever kill so much time when we’re too groggy to read a book?

First we have Retro Sabotage, where you can go to see your favorite old 70’s games mocked and parodied.

If that doesn’t float your boat, grab some popcorn and enjoy the best Die Hard remake ever:

Snippet of an IRC chat with my friend Val:

Bertha: I really can’t tell if my internet connection is getting slower, or if I’m just getting less patient.

Val: Yes.

Oven Shopping

Our oven has been in this house since it was built. It doesn’t heat well, a couple of the burners are askew, and the door doesn’t close properly. We’ve been talking about replacing it for a while now, but one of us (ahem) keeps putting it off.

Today mi esposo said, “We need to resolve this problem with the oven. Come with me and we’ll go look at ovens and decide which one we want.”

I immediately entered Whine Mode. “I don’t wanna. I hate shopping.”

“It’s not that bad.”

“We’ll have to go to a whole bunch of different stores.”

“At least three or four, yes.”

“But I really hate shopping.”

“But you’ll do it anyway, because you love me,” he said brightly.

“…you bastard.”

Guess what I’ve been doing all day? They deliver the thing next weekend.
