Jul. 4th, 2011 10:15 pmToday I made a mobile for my two year old cousin out of some old CDs, fishing line, and three pieces of wood, and because I successfully used my dad's hammer drill I feel like a DIY goddess.
Seriously, someone could hand me some flat pack furniture right now and I would assemble the crap out of it.
In other news, Project Runway Australia has returned and it's like they scoured the land for thenext big designer quirkiest personality. The challenge was really good - each designer had their fabrics chosen for them and then they had twelve hours to make a cocktail dress - but none of the designs really shone. Considering the quality that was produced last season (it was better than anything I've seen on the US version) I have high expectations for this batch.

Jul. 2nd, 2011 09:41 pm1. I hate the new Firefox update. It's making a whole bunch of things not work properly.
2. Google Chrome is also being a jerk.
3. Internet Explorer is a thing and it exists on my computer because I bought it that way. I do not care to use it.
4. But I'm not downloading another browser because that just feels ridiculous.
5.
'The History of English in Ten Minutes' is funny and informative.
6. Since starting this entry and posting it I have gone shopping and bought a rug, eaten Chinese food, and watched several episodes of Parks and Rec with my mother (she's a fan!).
7. This is a recipe for home-made Churros that I might try tomorrow.
8. There was a kerfuffle on Tumblr and, apparently, Twitter this week when it appeared that the Oxford Style guide was dropping the Oxford comma, but this was just old and incomplete information making the rounds, so we can put down the pitchforks. It is reassuring to know that so many people care about correct punctuation, though.

It turns out that there is an actual word for those parts of Dickens's novels I generally skip on re-read.
(How many chapters are there about Silas Wegg in Our Mutual Friend? TOO MANY)
