I posted this in Buffistas Biz, but haven't gotten any reads and now I'm all second-thoughty and nervous --

Can anyone check out my very first video for my biz ever, and tell me if I look/sound like a complete idiot? [link]

ugh my job irritated me this afternoon last thing. In a meeting that was supposed to be easy! Turns out customer didn't really understand the requirements we wrote months ago and reviewed with everybody multiple times! And, of course, I just feel like we could have done a better job. feh.

So I came home and made food and was cranky and watched some Sherlock which made me happy but then Bob just discovered I'd left a burner on. WTF, Brain?! Thank goodness he is here and cleans up stuff right away and saw that. If it was just me it could have easily been on all night.

The food was good though, I think. Red wine risotto with sauteed mixed wild mushrooms (shitakes, black trumpet, and morels) and arugula and pecorino romano cheese. Umami bomb!

OMG THIS IS THE CUTEST COMMERCIAL EVER!

(OK, I've not exactly sober.)

The Bark Side, Dogs Barking Star Wars Imperial March Theme in Volkswagen Super Bowl Ad

Dogs bark The Imperial March (Darth Vader’s Theme) from Star Wars in The Bark Side, a Volkswagen ad scheduled to air during Super Bowl XLVI.

Also, note what each dog is wearing. And what the Chewbacca dog sounds like .

I worked most of the day, and then tromped around in the snow to the pharmacy, as I had run out of a medication two days ago, but was traveling. Oops.

But I have assorted teas, there was actually milk in the stores so I can have cocoa later, and I have many foodstuffs, so I am set even if there is more snow tomorrow.

And my roommate isn't home until tomorrow, because her work was closed today and so she decided to extend being away.

I think Sara should go to Spain!

I emailed an old boss today on linkedin to see if his company is hiring, and he called me about 15 minutes later, it was fast! So I'm going to apply for some jobs. But the thought of arranging interviews AND doing my job is...exhausting. I've been ridiculous busy so far this month.

My boss just wrote me a nice rec for another gig related to work, but advisory work. I have to read/edit/print and bring to her for a signature. It makes me feel like Read-from-the-hall to read nice things about myself.

I just saw that, tommy, and I think it is in fact the cutest commercial ever.

Bob just discovered I'd left a burner on. WTF, Brain?!

I did that just the other night! M discovered it just before we went to sleep. Scary. I couldn't believe I'd just forgotten about it.

Barking dogs commercial, very cute. Love the Chewbacca dog.

I left a burner on today too! I NEVER do that. Weird.

I couldn't believe I'd just forgotten about it.

I know! I don't think I've ever done this before in my life!

If it was just me at home I totally would have left the pots on the stove until morning if not until I got home in the evening tomorrow. sheesh!

Anyway, now I'm making steel cut crockpot oats to bring to work for a breakfast potluck tomorrow. I hope it works out! I've never done this recipe before. (And if it does work out I hope people appreciate it!)

Leaving burners on (the wrong burner, with something flammable on it) is how I set my parents' kitchen on fire 3 times before I was 16. This is why I prefer gas to electric.
