While poking around on the internet yesterday I ran into some information on Internet time. You probably haven't heard of it, cause it's pretty useless, all things considered, especially since UTC already exists. But it's kind of a fun thing to think about, I think, having completely different ways of measuring time.

It sorta got me thinking about what would happen to people/society in different parts of the world if there was a global agreement to simply abolish DST and time zones altogether. What if it were 0900 everywhere in the world all at once? how would that affect business, life, agriculture, life as we know it? Would jet lag completely disappear? Would Japan no longer exist practically a whole day in the future like it does now? I don't know... I'm just kinda playing with the idea in my brain.

It's 1:15am. I'm a day behind on getting Thursday night dishes done, and I'm still not quite done. Still, I'm not in a big rush. I had a nice long nap when I got home so I'm not really all that tired yet... plus, I'm enjoying the quiet of a sleeping house and the rare thrill of having the living room, and thus the TV to myself. Entertaining myself with Engineering Disasters #21 on Modern Marvels. I really don't know why watching man made machines and structures fall down, blow up and otherwise become full of the fail is so fascinating but it is.

Somewhere, it's already 5:15ish in the afternoon. I'm too lazy to look up where.

I should stop babbling, post this, put my laundry in the dryer and finish the dishes...

Dishes done.

Laundry in dryer. Dropped the load that was in the dryer by sunny's door.

stove wiped down.

1st floor bathroom cleaned (it really does only take a couple of minutes if you do it once a week as scheduled. Must remember this.)

kitchen window fan dragged upstairs and installed, cause man. We some lazy bitches and should have done it earlier.

Annoying busted couch cushion fixed. Temporarily anyway, still getting it to zip at all was a minor miracle and I'm proud of it. It still needs a new zipper entirely, but I'm not up to the task of putting in a new one, and especially not tonight - right now I'm going to revel in the fact that for the first time in months I'm not staring at its regurgitated filling. Wow, we can has actual loveseat.

I'm thinking of tidying the front wall of the living room a bit next while I wait for my clothes to be done. Tomorrow I want to hang up a few more posters in here, and maybe I can convice whoever's going to the thing in Amherst tomorrow to stop at Michaels for one more poster frame. Thinking of hanging Elizabeth the golden age, since it's been kinda sitting around the dining room unhung, and I'm not sure about the other two. Strongly considering going to the office and getting the Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow poster. And then maybe rounding out the kickass women theme by putting up the Resident Evil poster that's been sitting around upstairs.

sleep? I needs no sleep... la la la

This has been a very good day so far (though not for my wallet, lol.) I did get some sleep, and then was up early with the house to go to Amherst to hear the Connotations (lostcircuit and morlock's acapella group) sing on the common. They sounded good for the most part, though I was a little sorry that morlock missed the performance due to having to work.

Then there was craft fair. And transversly and cmoore and parrots. and farmers market. Much oohing and ahhing, though not really any actual buying (though I did have a birthday present to get, so that was convenient). Then lunch at Bertucci's. I figured I'd splurge a bit and get the tilapia with spinach (and damn the vitamin K torpedoes), but as it happened there was a bit of a problem with my dish in the kitchen so it arrived 15 minutes later than everyone else's entree, so the manager took it off the bill. So there was delicious FREE tilapia. NOM. So that was lucky. And then we went to Barnes and Noble, and while I resisted the siren call of Kushiel's Mercy and the table full of cheesy vampire romance novels successfully I was waylaid to the seductive wiles of the paperback of Belladonna and a 30 percent off markdown on Nikon D40 for Dummies, which the guy at Iris photo had actually highly recommended when I went in to ask about photo classes back in January. Accursed bookstore. *shakes fist*

And now, hanging out and waiting for inle_rah to pick me up so we can go to dionethoughts' party. Woo grilling....
