Write Your Name in Elvish in Ten Minutes
Wow. Made sense!
Miriam down there is about to get a name change.

In an effort to distract myself from the fact that my jaws are banded shut, I attacked an unfinished project. It took most of the day, but . . .
Here's Miriam!
I haven't draped her dress yet, and her hair is still unstyled, so this is just a preview. Since I had the house to myself all day, and no one was around to complain about the smell, I set to work. I finally used my new toaster oven!
She has elf ears, and is intended to be a companion to my elf princess. The dress is a very pale green, and she's not nearly as shiny as she appears to be. There's shoes, which I'm rather proud of, but couldn't get a good picture. Soon!
I also need something to put in her hand. I'm thinking a long pole with a lantern hanging from it. I'm also wondering if I could actually get it to light up. Another experiment . . .
Word Of The Day: Dictionary.com/eviscerated
I don't think it means what you think it means . . . but I've come across it twice now in the past week!

I am not going to complain about how awful my mouth feels right now.
I will, however, express my need for chocolate. Since I'm unable to comfortably bite into anything, I decided to make hot cocoa. I wanted more chocolate in it, and I also wanted my hershey cherry cordial kisses. I looked at the hot chocolate, looked at the kisses, and . . . well . . .
The kiss melted after a few seconds in the hot water. Stirring helped melt the liquidy cordial inside. The hot cherry cordial chocolate had a wonderful soft, creamy flavor.
I may never have normal hot cocoa again.

I'm on the last lap of wearing braces, I believe. The evil rubber bands are BACK! This time I have to wear them in this crazy figure 8 formation around 4 of my teeth on each side. Again, I can't talk, and feel like I'm clenching my jaw. However, this is the final adjustment for my bite - mostly to close up some holes between my top and bottom teeth. After this . . . they come off.
I discussed using the invisalign braces as retainers with the assistant. She said that they're not very good as retainers, since they stretch and lose their shape, and can break. (after all, the invisaligns are supposed to change every few months, not retain the same shape!) So, no Invisalign for me.
I don't care what they do, so long as rubber bands aren't involved.

Apparently, gmail is sneaking ads and news banners into my inbox. Just little one liners at the top of the box, barely noticable, which is fine by me. However, I think it was designed to pick up key words that correspond with what you were viewing at the time. So, when I went to empty the bulk mail section, there was a link to a recipe for spam fajitas.
I suppose I need to do SOMETHING with all the spam I've been getting . . .

Distraction of the Day:
100 word minimum
Some fantastic photography - check out the campus fire in particular.
I just can't figure out who's writing!

Finally! Snow this winter! It decided to send it all at once, and we got about 10-12 inches worth. A fantastic packing snow, I was unable to resist its calling.
All the piles dad had thrown while shoveling made me want to try building a castle high on a hill. My castle sculpting skills suck. Staring at the tall heaps I had managed to build without making them look remotely tower-like, I decided that they would better serve their purpose as penguins. Penguins they became.
Penguins are incredibly easy to do. I still had energy left over when I finished the trio and decided to keep going.
Yes. I've got a warped sense of humor. Haven't you realized this yet?

I altered the brightness/contrast on the photos so that the sculptures are easier to see. It's hard to take photos of white on white!

robert denton - a day ? Blog Archive ? CSS Tables
The mind boggling question of my day. If CSS is a table-free format, what the heck do I do if I need a table on my page? I think I may have found the answer here, but it seems so complicated. I may keep looking.
