I always put an apostrophe in there--is that right? I figure it's a possessive, you know? Like "the eve that belongs to the new year?" I dunno. I think I think too much about things not necessarily requiring so much thought.
Noticing an online news trend of sorts--more and more news items are turning up in video form. I don't like my news in small, 30 second videos. Seems too much like fast food news, you know? I'd rather read a more in depth piece, something with more meat and less on the "cute news reader" front.
Considering returning our new cell phones and exchanging them for something else. They're made by Motorola, and Motorola has some seriously troubling ties to the Israeli government and the IDF. If we're against Israel's apartheid policies, if we support the BDS movement, then we shouldn't be buying from companies tangled up in that. So it's looking like maybe we'll make the leap to Samsung or LG. I know Samsung is made in South Korea, I'll have to look at LG's politics.
Gets hard, voting with your wallet. I haven't had a Stouffer's Macaroni and Cheese for years, and I'm sadder than sad about having to swear off Starbucks' Frappuccinos. Well, not sadder than sad, but a bit put out. I get over that by thinking about how much more put out I would be if someone bulldozed my house, shot up my little brother for getting too close to a wall meant to imprison my people, and tore up my olive groves to keep food off my family's table while denying my mother access to medical care and refusing to allow repair to the bombed remains of our sewage treatment facilities which continuously pump sewage into our fishing waters. Puts it in perspective, makes going without flavored coffee a little easier.
Did better on the blood sugar last night. 134 at two hours post-prandial is still a little higher than I'd like, but it kicks ass over 191.
Tonight is the big, last hurrah, food-stupidity-wise. I have really gone to new lows in the space between Christmas and New Year's, but that's okay--I went into it knowing I was going to. Tomorrow it's back on. And I feel like it's something I can do.
My fancy hairspray came--Sebastian Zero Gravity. It's a fantastic hairspray, great hold but brushable. Sadly, the can was broken--the sprayer snapped off (not just come loose). Amazon refunded the cash, but now I have a full can of spray I can't use. I'm such a miser, I'm trying to figure out how to magically make that sprayer work.
Speaking of fabulous products, notice the little "My Reviews" link up top? That's a link to things I write, and it would make me happy if you took a look every now and then.
Watched the end of Walking Dead Season 2 last night. A few surprises, but mostly not. The dead folks I expected to die, though how one died was a surprise (or how one re-died, I should say), and a couple survived I expected dead. My theory on who is what and why bore out, though not enough detail (yet). Wish they could crank the gore down just a whit.
Sore throat two days running. Not really bad, but not liking it.
Went to Costco earlier. Turns out the cell phones would have been drastically cheaper there. Oops. Now we know. Turns out returning the phones wouldn't ding Motorola--our carrier would just resell as pre-owned. Next phones, we'll do better.
And that's that. Popeyes and a burger for New Years dinner. I hope everyone has a great New Years, and for goodness' sake, DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE. Seriously, don't be that sloppy loser. Call AAA (1-800-400-4222) and see if they can help in your area. No, you don't have to be a member. If not? Sleep where you are, drive in the morning when you're sober.
