yendi

A bunch of us, fed up with the lack of coffee at work, went in on a pod-based Melita machine. So I can now shop here.

The holiday delayed the iTunes free song of the week a day, but it was worth the wait. The song (see current music) has a very nice Julianna Hatfield (from her Beautiful Creature or God Bless the Blake Babies) edge to it.

I tend to suck at remembering to post birthday wishes, but happy birthday to

olliesmama, who has finally caught up to me, age-wise, and happy belated birthday to

laurel, who gave me my LJ invite code (remember those?) way back when. Happy birthday also to

merovingian and

naughtyangel75.

A reminder: For those who are actually capable of remembering such things (in other words, not me) you can see the birthdays of your LJ friends at this page.

Many folks have posted the link, but http://www.booksforsoldiers.com/ is worth mentioning again. It's not always handled like the old books for soldiers programs were (seeing folks requesting the DVD box set of Season 8 of Friends is almost embarrassing), but it's still a great cause.

Additionally, it's been at least a year since I reminded folks that expired coupons are still usable on military bases for up to six months after the expiration date (and current ones are still useful for them as well). http://ocpnet.org/ maintains a list of bases to which you can send coupons that have expired or which you're not using.

I found an old A.A. Fair novel in the free books stack. That makes me happy (especially since

magenta_girl and I were just discussing classic mysteries this weekend).

Off to catch up on work.
