paint by numbers

  1. Why is there a cotton candy flavor in Dum Dum Pops? What flavor is cotton candy? I am similarly stumped by the bubble gum flavor. An entire bag of Dum Dum Pops will run you about a buck fifty and contains mostly flavors that are not cream soda, which is my favorite Dum Dum Pops flavor.
  2. I broke my longish streak of not losing anything. I lost the little Moleskine Cahier notebook I rely on at work. It sucks, but it’s gone and I have to deal.
  3. Okay, that was way too mature and calm. I lost my effing work notebook!!!1!!111
  4. The weather has been glorious, the kind of glorious that makes me want to take up a sport. For about five minutes. Then I come to my senses. Still: spring!
  5. The only thing wrong with “BtVS” is that there are only seven seasons. I am even more annoyed that “Firefly” was cancelled. But hey, I get to watch Angel’s spinoff too. Is he as half-naked in that series? Because I feel it is extremely important to the plot that he is. Whatever plot.
  6. Harps are cool. Harps at work are even cooler. It’s kind of like being in heaven, except for the being in a university library part.
  7. You’re right: it doesn’t count as “writer’s block” if I can still write. I’ll stop whining now.

    He is sometimes half naked in that series. Also, he is somewhat older and pudgier near the end.

    As for Buffy’s seven seasons, 6 is by far the worst, although it has some very very good episodes hidden in it.

    Amusingly, there is a moleskin notebook advertisement link at the bottom of this page. How many moles were killed to make these notebooks?

    I personally did not find Angel as entertaining as Buffy. I won’t give it away, but it jumped the shark more than once.

    I only just recently discovered Firefly! I wish there were more, too.

    cotton candy is *definitely* a flavor. not a flavor i enjoy, but a flavor nonetheless.

    same with bubble gum!
