Work is in the process of getting a new logo. (The old one is very 70s or 80s - think the same sort of feel as the IBM logo). The marketing manager asked for my opinion - lots of good options, some that are okay, none that are terrible. My supervisor apparently likes one that reads as more 1990s to me, but it’d be an improvement. Should be fun to see what the final one looks like.

There is no limit on blurfs **Sticks** ((()))

Steaming catfish for dinner, with peas, toast, and clementines. It’s not fancy, but it’s more cooking than I’ve done lately. Unfortunately, I always forget that if I use the timer on the microwave I can’t cook in it at the same time (it’s dumb). I finally was smart enough to stick my probe thermometer, which has a timer to the side of the nuker. We’ll see if that reminds me next time (probably not).

Awww, man, them’s fightin’ words! You couldn’t pry my New Hope tape out of my hands, because it’s NOT new hope; it’s STAR WARS\*. And HAN SHOOTS FIRST!

I have the proof.

\*Ok so it’s Star Wars: A New Hope. Pfft

That’s…so simple! And sounds SO good. And I’m SO making that tomorrow, thank you 🙂

Except…we don’t have instant rice \>.\< Living in a latino area, it’s all bulk white rice, but I believe I can make do. I am drooling already 🙂
