Crap, we’ve run out of TotD’s.

Today’s been a kind of spring-cleaning event here. Brett and I tidied up the living room and cleaned out the fridge (moldy cheese and liquified green onions, yuck), but mostly we’ve been tackling the dishes. Since Andi’s gone, we’ve been hauling them to her upstairs dishwasher by the basket load. Plates are really heavy… Makes me kind of curious about aluminum dinner plates (like this); if they’re very sturdy I might consider them the next time I have to buy dishes. One of my parents’ friends, Jackie, had a bunch of metal plates that were really cool. They looked like pewter, but I kind of wonder if they weren’t something else… pewter seems awfully soft for that use, right? But Google Images turns up a lot of hits for “pewter plate,” so I must be mistaken.

I bet they’d go well with titanium sporks. Or would that make it feel too much like prison? I don’t care — that’d be boss regardless.

We’ve been playing a lot of darts on the Wii (it’s one of the multiplayer games in WarioWare). It’s pretty fun; kinda makes me want to get an actual dart board. I bet it’d be pretty easy to make one, actually. Just jigsaw and router some plywood into a disc, glue some felt on the back, and mount a half-inch of cork on the front. Then just get a compass, straightedge, and a sharpie to do the lines. Maybe even mask some bits and spray paint it primary colors. That’d be a neat project.

I saw the StarCraft II cinematic trailer today. Looks neat. I’m sure I’ll get it when it comes out, but I’m still more excited about Spore.

Oh yeah, we also went grocery shopping today. Got a lot of keen stuff, including a couple thick halibut steaks which I’ll be preparing within the hour. I wish I’d thought to get some fresh dill too, but the dried stuff will work. Pics tomorrow. Also got a big pack of tri tips which will probably last a few days.
