I see that the TV can move up and down, but does the stand drop into the floor or something when you want to open the door? I found the picture here.
Why I was browsing DIY:
For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to own a house. When I lived at home, I liked doing stuff like cutting the grass and other home maintenance tasks. When I had cable, I watched HGTV and fantasized about having my own homeowner projects to deal with. Even though the concept of home ownership feels like a distant dream at this point, I still read about houses online and occasionally walk through hardware stores.

I really haven’t been able to eat much since last Wednesday due to a sore throat. I’m not getting better yet, but I’m already making a list of things I want to eat when can. Here’s what I’m thinking:
- “Shabuway Original” at Shabuway in Mountain View
- Double Meat, Animal Style from In-N-Out Burger
- Pizza Margarita with tomato sauce and garlic breadsticks with ranch dressing from Amici’s
- Potstickers from Trader Joe’s
Have other suggestions? Leave a comment.
I’ve had a sore throat since Wednesday night and it hasn’t gotten any better, so I’m seeing a doctor about it in a couple of hours. Since I cannot speak, Beah offered to call and make an appointment for me. She got transferred to an “advice nurse,” who asked me several questions, including: “Any white or yellow patches in the mouth?”
I told Beah to wait a second while I checked. I went to the nearest mirror and pointed a flashlight into my mouth.
Oh no. My tongue was completely white.
I ran my tongue under my teeth as I got a closer look. The whiteness drained away. I’m such an idiot. I was drinking milk.
My family is visiting today so I’ve been cleaning off my desk at work. I found a pack of M&Ms in the process and started eating them. Check out what I found inside the bag. I wonder if it’s worth anything.
I ate it. Wasn’t as good as a regular one.
I came up with a new joke format last night. (At least it’s new to me). Here’s an example:
Me: Reid, what do you call a meteor that hits the ground?
Reid: I don’t know, what?
Me: A meteorite!
If you deliver it well, it will take your audience some time to understand that you simply gave the definition of a word, and then used the word as the punch line.
I just got back from checking out the Perseid meteor shower. It’s pretty difficult to escape light pollution around here, but Reid was able to take us to a spot where we still had a pretty good view of the show. Pics below. (Click for full resolution.)
One of the first ones we saw. Not very bright.
This one was nice, long, and bright. The iPhone doesn't fully capture it.
It was getting pretty cold at the end so we said we would wait for one more that we all saw before leaving. This is the final meteor that we all spotted, and it had a unique orange glow.
Now I just need to decide if I should try and sleep or just go to work really early.
Happy Saturday.
Update: Reid shows us how it all went down.
A small challenge of going by two names:
Every time I send an email, I have to consider the recipient and remember if I’m supposed to sign as “Michael” or “Wysz.”
This morning, I could not find my keys. I searched my entire apartment before giving up and grabbing the spare key, which fortunately is no longer on the same keychain as my other key. Here’s what I found on the other side of the door:
Just testing you, Sunnyvale. I wanted to see if you’ve cleaned up your act. Congratulations, you passed.
