Why not?

I'm back from camp! Eventually, I will finish the Half Dome slide show, and post about vacation, and about camp. But until then, I'll come back to the blog with this meme I got tagged with by Megan... Why not, really?

1. Link the person(s) who tagged you
2. Mention the rules on your blog
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
4. Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged

1. My hitchhiker's thumb bends back 90°
2. When people ask me for a definition, I give them an etymology.
3. I used to think I was a pessimist, but I changed my mind.
4. I start thinking about Christmas in September.
5. I don't like onions.
6. I can be a terribly lazy person sometimes.
   

I tag Ben the Biker, Michaela, Shelle Belle, and Tessa. Four will just have to cut it, because I don't know any other bloggers well enough to tag them, and I'm sure Megan will just be happy that I actually did anything with this. So, enjoy!

The Snowcones

More excitingly awkward wording from CVS. I'll post on camp when I find a computer. Till then!

Ooh! Ahh!

You can learn so much from watching The Colbert Report.
I went almost two whole days not knowing that Mozilla Firefox came out with a new version until Colbert's guest mentioned it in an interview.
So I thought you all should know that too.
I just installed it, so I can't say how I like it yet. But hopefully, Firefox 3 won't keep updating itself like v. 2 did.
And if you don't already run Firefox, look into it! It's at least 50 times less annoying than Internet Explorer.

Not like you'd care...

...but I got a new watch at Walmart today. It's pretty spiff 'cause it lights up different colors. I needed it for camp 'cause my old one is too nice and needs a new battery and a new strap. So yeah, check it out:
I'm working on a video slide show of the Half Dome pictures, so look forward to that.

Blackout Shopping Fun!

There was a blackout this afternoon all over Poway. Around 5:00 pm, Emily and I went to shop for dinner at Henry's. But they were closed, as was Vons, because of a decided prohibitive lack of electricity. Fortunately, Stater Bros. has a very sophisticated backup plan for such situations. The lights and background music were off, which wasn't such a bad thing. And they have these retractable thermal covers over the produce, dairy, cheese, etc. which the flashlight-bearing employees opened for customers. It was kind of like a game of "memory", trying to remember exactly where they keep the bleu cheese. It was probably the most fun I've had grocery shopping in a long time.

Two Yosemite posts will be coming soon.
Until then,
