two things i have learned from suffering a cold this week:
1. watching a die hard each day of a cold is an excellent way to pass time (and dream about things blowing up)
2. chips sound crunchier when you're filled with sn*t.

cnn says: "The new black Barbies released by Mattel have fuller lips, curlier hair and other features that the company says more accurately represent African-Americans."
... because the one thing Barbie is known for is "accurately representing" Americans

i've been reading
the outliers and learned that there are no rags-to-riches geniuses who magically rocket to a successful life through some super-human intelligence or ability.
they all (bill gates, the beatles, etc) put in 10,000 hours of "practice" before their lucky break launched them into a phenomenal career.
i've got quite a few more hours to log before i hit my 10,000.
(although i do have 80,000 hours of sleep under my belt!)

shopping for thermals, half were labeled "50% off" and the other half were labeled "3 for 1"
i asked the clerk which sale price was correct: "they're normally 3 for 1, but we're currently running a sale so they're only 50% off!!! better get some before they go back to their normal price!!"

i dropped the chocolate banana bread on the floor last night and nearly cried.
tasha thought the look on my face was worth losing the bread... but nothing is worth losing chocolate.
while cleaning up, tasha noticed giant smears of chocolate on my face. we're still not sure if it was flung up there during the fall or while i was shoveling any bit that looked salvageable into my mouth.

yesterday i felt my second "big-to-me"
earthquake in wellington. i was doing dishes (as good fiances do) and the whole room started shaking. the mirror on the wall hanging laundry shook, but nothing tipped over.
on the colorful earthquake depth map: i don't know what it means, but i think deeper earthquakes tend to be more severe?? this earthquake was just deep enough to put on the map.
sadly, the earthquake was not severe enough to get me out of doing the dishes.
