Not much to report, I am a little obsessed with this game World of Goo that Steven gave me, but I have to report I found this Youtube video of someone completing chapter 2 (which I will not watch all the way through because I am only on the windmill level) and this person is going way faster then I do. See:

I think it's time to admit that I am the person who spends $50 bucks to save $10.

See, when papa Verburg came to visit he took the bus. Apparently his trip cost only $40 bucks. Both ways.

Impressed, I decided to do the same for my trip home at Christmas. I wanted to show that I am not a fragile flower, and am perfectly willing to spend 3 extra hours on a cramped moving vehicle with mild nausea and the smell of other people's socks to keep me company.

So today, I check the date for the annual Chanukah celebration, and book a bus ticket for the morning of the dinner. Then, emailed my aunt to say, "I arrive at 4:00pm and will head straight to your house for the dinner.. etc" cc'ing brother and sister in law at the same time.

Not half an hour later, S - in - L and aunt both reply that dinner this year is a brunch. So I ought to switch my ticket to the night before.

Okay now, I know I should be more careful about reading emails, but for crying out loud, Chanukah is the festival of lights because it happens after the sun goes down! BLURGH.

All you organized people out there, think of this as a bird's eye view of the disorganized mind in action.
