Made a cake from a mix and put it in the solar oven. I have not made a cake from a mix in more than 10 years, I think. I feel lazy. But I guess I am. I'm hurting plus I was clearly not made to live in a land where temps get over 78F. However, it's true the solar oven works better here. ETA: Okay, not totally lazy. But we have no whole wheat flour in the house and there was no point to making it with all-purpose white flour. In fact, the recipe specifically stated not to use self-rising flour.
Facebook pisses me right off with the way they make opt-in the default and the way users DO NOT find out about these things through Facebook itself but through the tech press. Yet tons of my friends use it and never gave FriendFeed (which was so much better that Facebook bought them just for their development team) a glance. I don't understand. But that enormous user base is what keeps people putting up with them.
I'm telling myself that I'm having a wonderful day so the day will follow.
We blew a fuse in the main circuit box and I don't know how to change a fuse, but I'll be figuring it out as Grace's equipment runs on electricity, yo, as does our AC.
To keep cool, we spent the AM at the mall. Malls at 10:00 AM are mommycentral.
Good luck learning fusonomics, Kat! I can sympathize with the mall-going. I'm going to take a shower now just to cool off.

Is it the kind you just screw in like a lightbulb?
Speaking of fuses: My morning routine involves me sitting around reading the internet while my bread toasts. I just realized recently that that is because of a place I used to live where I couldn't have the hair dryer and the toaster running at the same time! (And it was fuses, and not breakers, so a PITA to change when it blew.) So now I can take five minutes off my routine. Good one!

That is insane! I've seen one of those before, and I think I've done the the thing where you can slide it above and below your hand, but that motherfucker defies gravity and shit.
I don't like being told I have to bring the system down by 5 at 3:30 when I have to leave at 5. Which means I have to take my computer home and bring the system back UP from home, and that is always chancy. Ahrg.
amyth, did you see that Kaferine is queen of the GH bldg? Unless she was joking, it's hard to tell with her.
I am so cranky. Gah.
I THINK she was joking, but it is totally hard to tell. I thought we were joking with each other about how lame Foursquare was. But maybe she was telling me how great Foursquare was. Um. Sometimes she and I are having two conversations.
