odds and ends

I have a very odd brain. The other week I spent $250 on dictionaries and only thought twice about it. I could buy an iPod for $250 and get more use out of it than I will out of the dictionaries, but for some reason, an iPod is a luxury and I can't bring myself to do it. (Besides, an iPod wouldn't tell me that there's no French equivalent for "ice cream headache", which I find very amusing for some reason.)

Theoretically, my phone will no longer accept email and pictures and all that jazz. I got online to see if there was a phone number to call to get rid of the internet service, and found there was an online way to do it. I got a confirmation email saying that they had disabled the option, and we shall see if they actually did it. If they did, the bill will go down by $10 per month.

I have to do laundry this weekend. If I do it tonight, the stuff I can't put in the dryer might be dry by Monday morning.

My grandparents' 60th anniversary party is in two weeks. There are 45 people invited, 23 of whom are family. I can guarantee nobody's going to starve, because it's a DiMartino family gathering and there will be at least three times as much food as necessary; I just hope it doesn't rain, because it's supposed to be a barbecue.

Work is dead today, which is nice. I have things to do, but they aren't horrendously urgent.

Hmm, the time on the LJ web client seems to be right again.

No, that only works when I don't know it's going to rain. Today I knew it, so I left the silly shoes at home (and, miracle of miracles, remembered my umbrella).

La migraine de la glace?

no French equivalent for "ice cream headache"

But surely we could invent one. :-)

We just wouldn't use an iPod for it.
