I went home on Thursday for Mother’s Day. Purchased all sort of fun things, including Powerpuff Girl bandaids and a poofy dress with strawberries on it. I also managed to pick up a couple books on some really nerdy topics like science and grammar (1 2 3 4 5), and two pairs of shoes which both happen to be very KillBillesque. In essence, I’m a shopping machine! That’s what happens when you don’t buy anything for an entire 8 months and then suddenly end up downtown with a credit card. I feel like Brittany Murphy must have felt right after meeting Alicia Silverstone.

The weekend was quite a success, as I also managed to study, read, not screw up my Mother’s Mother’s Day Brunch, bring back my guitar, consume goat’s meat, find a job (sort of) and nearly complete my latest knitting project. It’s red and navy, à la FC Bayern München, my soccer team of choice. Hopefully my efforts will affect their success in upcoming matches.

On a final note, I discovered a fantastic site a few days ago which was immensely hard to avoid blogging. This is the kind of thing you have to save for the right moment; I sense the time has come. You will understand what I mean when you click on this (IE only) link. Yes.

So I reinstalled Quicktime hoping it would worm its way into my browsers and it worked. Good ol’ Quicktime.
