psipsyCalled into work today on account of getting ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yamikochan's brakes fixed again, as one of the rotors from the job earlier this week turned out to be defective. Maybe they couldn't have known the first one was defective, but they wasted no time in making amends by putting on a second set free of charge and without any bugging from me, beyond the initial "hey these new brakes are noisy and have a weird feel to them". So to me, this was handled well.
Oh yeah... http://www.cardboardshrine.com/images/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=3
I have also decided that using my bicycle to take either of my cars to the garage is a valid option in cool but fair weather. I have also decided that the official bike headlights that are available actually kinda suck, and I had better results hose-clamping my Mag-Light to the handlebars.
My new neighbors have a Jaguar. And a relatively new one, WTF?
Been watching a LOT of the new anime coming out this season. The review page I've been cooking up lists over a dozen titles now. Sometimes, if I go a week or two without watching any anime, I feel kinda "off". Then I'll sit down and watch several hours worth in a stretch, and feel recharged again. Ranging from quasi-readable fansubs on VHS, or crisp DVD, or the instant access of .avi's, it all works.
Many people don't realize this, but... Vanilla is a flavor of its own!
Ok, back to watching anime for me. Then bed.

Re: Hmmm!
Date: 2006-10-22 07:33 am (UTC)Years ago, we had these little plastic cups that we could use to make our own ice cream with, complete with instructions for various flavors, and they called for a teaspoon of vanilla extract. It was also how I learned the difference between a teaspoon of vanilla and a tablespoon of vanilla. Big difference.
