old GE toaster

old GE toaster, originally uploaded by bettyx1138.

had one of these when i was a little kid.

hadnt thought of it in 35 years.

i saw this on mad men and remembered every molecular detail of this thing!

the 2 dials were eyes and the tray was its mouth and the lever in the middle its misplaced nose.

i remember the writing on the handle in crazy detail.

and u could use the body of it as a mirror.

sometimes the tray had crumbs in it and it freaked my mom out (she was a clean freak.)

campaign to ban the word “robust” from any work-related conversation.

“robust” is a vague word. what’s robust to one person may not b robust to another. do not use this word. its liek saying “its good” or “its bad”.  u have to define what u mean by robust, bad or good.

it really gets my goat.

i went to the gym

yippee.

i also took a shower.

i had butternut squash and cornbread from angelica for dinner.

yay.

addicted to lexulous

I managed to put down my computer but now I can’t put down my iPhone. (yes there is a lex iphone app.)

does the US have the evil eye curse?

“The evil eye is a belief that the envy elicited by the good luck of fortunate people may result in their misfortune. The perception of the nature of the phenomenon, its causes, and possible protective measures, varies between different cultures.”

maybe the us needs an evil eye amulet the size of rhode island? or maybe if enuf ppl in the US have them shit will stop happening?
