- We got a new combination printer/copier at the library today. It has a working coinbox and a print release terminal! Which means that the patrons don't have to come up to the desk to get me to release their printing any more! I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the patron who prints out at least 30 pages every day so that I can tell her that she gets to print those herself. Ahahaha.
- I have made my first drinking vinegar! (Well, I have put it together - it has to age in the fridge for about a week so the flavors can meld properly before I actually drink it.) ( Details, so I can remember them. ) I have a couple more I'd like to maybe start this weekend, and I'd like to get some reasonably attractive bottles to store them in. Jars are workable, but not very pretty and harder to pour from.
- So, my mom volunteered to watch the first episode of Game of Thrones with me last night. I'm pretty sure she liked it - she said she wanted to watch more tonight - but it had not occurred to me how much of a learning curve that show has for people who haven't read the books. Seriously, the first episode throws something like 20 different people at you, along with freaky-weird politics. We had to pause every couple of minutes so I could remind her the relationships between characters and explain what the hell they were talking about. So she's started making up nicknames for people in order to keep them distinct - the only character to have a really distinctive one so far is Joffrey. He has been dubbed "the boy with the weasel teeth", which seems pretty appropriate.
And that is my day so far.
