You know what?

I know what, anyway.

If the [livejournal.com profile] bandomsecrets post that I thought was about me was, in fact, about me, then either the person I thought did it didn't actually do it (which opens the field, whee!) or else that person has a big, hefty serving of hypocrisy coming to them.

I have to quit shopping in the men's department at Target, but if I had done that, I would not now have an Autobots tshirt, so there's always a reason not to. I also finally cracked and bought a coffee maker (we'll see if I can learn to make coffee now) and a new toaster, which is shiny steel red and is the first appliance ever to make me want to name it, simply because, well, it is shiny red steel.

I have been named an emergency contact in case anything weird, unusual, or embarrassing happens to a friend's housesitting sister. Apparently, I can't solve flooded basements, but I kick ass when ninjas show up in your home. Though apparently, if it's ninjas, I'm supposed to bring someone else with me, who is also quite competent at ninja-butt-kicking. The qualification was that my friend felt that if something really weird happened, I would be able to have an axe in hand and be there within fifteen minutes. I feel like this is an achievement that I would like immortalised on a medal, because it makes me giggle, and then I could wear that medal proudly.

"Armed and Ready To Fight Off The Weird", or something.

Beyond that? Weekend off, people. Halle-fucking-lujah.

If you happen to come across it, I recommend purchasing a long-handled coffee scoop like this one. I found one by chance at Starbucks and have fallen in love with it. The long handle means not getting your knuckles covered in coffee when you get it out of a thin bag.

Just note that if you get one like this it's a 2-Tbsp scoop, instead of just 1-Tbsp, so it's good for every two cups of water. I actually like this better because I almost always make an even numbered cups of coffee + that .5c water at the end.

I sort of looked for something like that at Target but couldn't find it. However, I bet they sell those in Starbucks and it's not like I can throw a rock and not hit one of those around here.

Also, coffee successfully made!

Thanks!
