Anyone who has every asked me to help them pack and move, would agree with this assessment.

A symptom of my weather junkie addiction often leads me this website.

Leo (July 23-August 22) for week 12/16
Many spiritual teachers say you're most likely to succeed at meditation if you sit quietly in a sanctuary. They believe you need to retreat from the world in order to develop compassionate objectivity about life. The eighteenth-century Zen Buddhist teacher Hakuin Ekaku had a different view. "Meditation in the midst of activity is a billion times superior to meditation in stillness" was his motto. I agree with him. But one of the reasons it's superior is because it's so much harder. Have you ever tried to see God in your boss while he or she is yelling at you about some trivial mistake? Are you able to remain open-hearted to a loved one when he or she isn't being open-hearted to you? Believe it or not, Leo, you could go a long way towards mastering these skills in 2005. It'll be prime time to learn how to meditate in the midst of the daily chaos.

Something I didn't know about cooking with beans.
"Do not salt dried beans while they are cooking as the salt slows down the softening process."

chadu was correct. The Incredibles is an AWESOME movie. It's been years since I've enjoyed a movie enough to say "I want to see this again!"
Actually paying to see it again as opposed to waiting for a DVD release.

I wonder if I can take my nieces or nephews. One at a time, of course ;)

I did go down to the BookFest on the mall. It really was too good a day to pass away in the basement on a computer. (opps, sorry rikk)
Probably did too much walking around with the 2 lovely friends I did run into while wandering around. And missed catching up with a few other I hear about later. And I didn't get in to hear the author talks. I hung out at the edge of a few, but never really felt drawn in. And after all the time to get down there and walking around, I missed hearing Pohl or Gaiman talk. Ah well, it was time well spent.

ALTHOUGH SEAWEED IS GOOD FOR YOU, the seaweed salad you get at a sushi restaurant isn't health food. Its main ingredient is wakame, which has plenty of calcium, iron, niacin, and thiamine. But some other ingredients dilute the salad's nutritional profile while enhancing its taste. The other ingredients are agar, sesame oil, cloud ear mushrooms, sesame seeds, distilled vinegar, high-fructose corn syrup, sugar, salt, red pepper flakes, kelp extract, and yellow and blue food coloring. A serving just shy of three ounces has 100 calories, 1 g of protein, 5 g of fat, a whopping 1,200 mg of sodium, 11 g sugar, only about 70 mg of calcium, and less than 1 mg of iron.

There was no great media search for a lottery winner that hadn't stepped forward from last weeks drawing.
Kind of sad when I realize that I had a ticket from last week and this means it is probably not a winner.

I think it is funny that on the NASCAR.com site there is a Cingluar flash advertisment along the top of the screen.

NASCAR is now sponsored by Nextel.

heheheheheh

This post from note_to_self gave me the best laugh in days.
Reminds me that humans are truely , very funny beings.
