Here are a couple random thoughts I've had over the last few days. There is a fairly remote chance that it'll spur conversation... Or cursing.

1. Does anyone know how long a standard bar of soap lasts, when used on a nearly-daily basis? Surely it lasts less time than an 8 ounce tube-thingy of Bath & Body Works Gardenia-scented Creamy Body Wash? I discovered this stuff a couple years ago, while I was still in Boston, and I don't think I've used actual soap since. It is wonderful. But, alas, it is expensive (even at "buy 3 get one FREE!" prices) so I'm trying to find a way to justify it to myself. I suspect I'm not going to be successful in this endeavor.
2. What exactly are small, unmarked bills? Small = 1s, 5s and 10s, presumably. But the unmarked thing? What does that mean? I mean, I assume that someone marks bills in such a way as to render them trackable, but how? And how do you know if your bills are marked or unmarked? You know Tuesday's post about Twitter? Here again, me being completely clueless.
3. I so wish I could find a way to motivate myself to do anything physical. I mean, aside from the occasional spontaneous yoga pose performed mid-living room, mid-afternoon in my pajamas because I've been so busy working I've not yet gotten around to getting dressed...
4. I love Miss Doxie. Today's post (and I say that like she writes every day, which she doesn't, which is tragic) is HILARIOUS. Funniest thing I've read all week. Or in my lifetime. Or, you know, whenever. But it's about one of her dachsunds, so I'm sure ya'll will like it.
5. I am still, to be completely honest, trying to figure out exactly how many dachshunds Miss Doxie has. Six, at least, I think. It's kind of like Yorkies or Ruffles potato chips: nobody can have just one...
6. A friend of mine text-messaged me this afternoon asking if I'd like to accompany him in a recital next year. Yay! The problem is, I think he wants me accompany him playing the piano. Which, ok. I've got one and all. And it's a year away. And I know how to play the thing. But, you know... it's scary! He and I are both about similar skill-levels when you compare his cello playing and my flute playing. But when you compare his cello playing with my piano playing? Well, there's just not much to say. He's WAY better. So I'm MUCH more comfortable performing on flute. But I told him I'd definitely consider it because, well... I do so enjoy playing music with others, and a challenge such as this certainly couldn't hurt me. Could it?
7. When did they add an entirely new, completely up-scale wing to Washington Square??
8. Do they sell anything other than cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory? And if so, why exactly? If you've got cheesecake, what else would you need?
9. I somehow managed to miss three weeks in a row of ER. I've got the Tivo recordings to prove it. Is anyone else completely bored by this season?
10. And speaking of TV: exactly what are they doing with Audrey Raines on 24? She's catatonic... ok. But she knows stuff! And is anyone at all surprised that Jack managed to lose that circuit board-thingy in his swap for Audrey with the Chinese dude? And why didn't Jack just give Chinese Dude a fake circuit board and skip all the hullabaloo in the first place? (Oh, right. No drama in that!) Sigh. And this season started out so well, too!
11. I'm getting increasingly frustrated with my feet and legs. Zee to legs: you need to stop being MS-y. Right. Now.
12. A couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon this website, Moo.com. They sell these little things called Moo Cards. And they are, essentially, calling cards with pictures on one side and whatever-you-want printed on the other. So I ordered me up some to use as a handy way of giving out contact info when I'd prefer not to use my work business cards. They arrived this week and they are FUN! And apparently, there has grown up a whole little ecosystem around them. Who knew?
13. Despite my rather unsuccessful experience in my last go-round, and my continuing annoyance at Apple's DRM practices, I still want an iPod. NOBODY can tell me that marketing doesn't work. I need to stay far, far away from the mall.

Talk amongst yourselves. I'm going to bed now. :)
