RANDOM ACTS OF BLOGGING

1) Saturday night Steve was watching Star Wars IV in our bedroom before he went to sleep. I had already dropped off, but he said that after the big Death Star scene, I apparently turned over and muttered "stay on target...stay on target." I'm even a geek in my sleep these days!

2) I almost killed Steve Friday night. With a bra. No, it isn't some kinky story, so don't worry. :) We have a bed with a foot board and a shelf at the end of it, and clothes seem to pile up there until we get a chance to move them to the hamper. Steve was sitting on the bed, and I was standing at the foot of it putting some clothes on the shelf. We were talking and I happened to have a bra in my hand, so when I gesticulated to emphasize a point, the bra flipped up and got caught on the ceiling fan (which was on) and it ripped out of my hand. I wasn't aware that support garments could build up that much speed seeing that they are not exactly aerodynamic. Luckily it missed him, but it hit the wall really hard. That would be an embarrassing story to tell the folks at the emergency room, wouldn't it?

3) Did you know that I have a large, almost completely accidental, and very impressive bottle cap collection? It all started with a Pepsi bottle cap that we found in the wall when Steve cut the doorway out of the living room. That one had to be as old as the house, but it was perfectly clean and everything, and it even had cork on the back of it instead of plastic or rubber. After that, every time I had a new kind of drink that had something interesting on the bottle cap, I'd attach it to a big magnet we have on the side of the fridge. It wasn't anything I thought much about, but it became a habit. When the magnet got covered, I'd take them off and put them in a drawer. The last time I went into that particular drawer, I realized we have dozens and dozens of bottle caps and I am lothe to throw them out! Anyone have ideas on what I can do with them?

Glue them to a bulletin board thing, instant cool wall kitsch!

Why not take little metal bottle caps and nail them to your living room floor? (a Monkees quote, obscure)
