Windmil of the future? The latest advancement in kite fighting? Kitesurfing robots? The Festo CyberKite deftly controls the graceful movements of a rather large kite with relative ease. [via BotJunkie]

Stuff, x 4

The fun stuff

Okay, I thought of a bunch of you (yeah, you, windrose and Havoc) when I saw this: "Mansfield Park and Mummies"

*dies, snortling into her teacup*

Also: watching SyFy's "Alice?" Like reading Gaiman during a bad LSD trip. Extra butter on the popcorn, and you may have fun although you probably won't respect yourself in the morning. Oh, and I want me a Hatter.

The not-so-fun stuff

Y'know, never mind. I make myself read the national/international news every day but if you don't, I'm not going to harsh your mood. Yerwelcome.

The book stuff

On the actual writing front, nailed down 2,900 new words yesterday, and we're into the first meeting between Bonnie and Wren. It's weird writing a scene you've written before, but infused with an entirely different mentality, not to mention being seen through the other side of the mirror.

Another character is starting to really get pushy about more page-time. My agent wants to know who's in charge here, me or the characters. The fact that she even has to ask is pretty much the answer right there.

The life stuff

Otherwise, my life is pretty much all about waiting: waiting for checks to arrive, waiting for people to get back to me with Y/N on projects, waiting for delivery people to arrive...

Have I mentioned recently how very bad I am about waiting?




Oh good, coffee's done. At least I'm not waiting on that any longer.

First bento, first post



My first bento ever, made for the first day at school (back in September, cough).
Rice and scrambled eggs, paprika-stars, cucumber-hearts, mandarines and yoghurt.
Made me realize that wanting something to look pretty can be a lot of work. ;)

What do you think, did I do well for a newbie?

Bento #272



I completely forgot to put any cherry tomatos in my bento yesterday! I must've been tired. Amending it in this bento.
The foreground box has fried Grilloumi (a budget Halloumi variant) on lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, basil and rosemary decoration and a marzipan heart.
In the background there's more potato salad on lettuce, decorated with parsley and more cherry tomatoes.

;)

Walgreens midweek ad, 12/9/09

walgreens

Walgreens has another 4-day ad coming out on Wednesday, and you can view it on i heart wags here. Here are the free after RR deals:

  • Just for Men Touch of Gray haircolor, $6.99, get $6.99 RR. Use the $2.00 off coupon here. Submit your receipt for the mail-in-rebate here and get your $6.99 back again!
  • ReNu multipurpose solution twin pack, $9.99, get $9.99 RR. Use $2.00/1 printable here.
  • Neutrogena men’s skincare, $4.99, get $4.99 RR. Use $2 off any Neutrogena product from December AY.
  • Stayfree 16 or 24 pack maxi or 16 pack ultra thin, $1.99, get $1.99 RR. Use $1.00/1 here.
  • Select Conair brushes and Scunci, $2.00, get $2.00 RR.
  • Stim-U-Dent 100 pack, $2.00, get $2.00 RR.

They’re also running a deal: Spend $25.00, get a bonus $5.00 RR. Last time, this worked before coupons, but there was a restriction on it that you could only use one of these per transaction after you’ve received them.

Bonus printable coupons

You can print additional Walgreens coupons here. Put in your ZIP to view your store ad, then the printable coupon link will be to the right of your ad. One I note is: Green & Black’s chocolate 3.5 oz, $1.99. Combine with the $1.00 Green & Black’s mfr. printable here — making your organic chocolate just $.99.

La Victoria Salsa — $4.00/2 rewards coupon is back

lavs

Common Sense with Money has all the info and codes you need to enter on the La Vic Rewards site to get enough points to print a $4.00/2 coupon for 16oz+ La Victoria items. This goes on sale at Dominick’s 2/$4.00 occasionally, and apparently runs around $2.00 at some Walmarts. The post says the deal is over, but it’s not so — I was just able to print mine about 30 seconds before posting this. Some people are having trouble printing; it’s a BRICKS coupon when you do get to it.

Update: Her post says you can enter codes up to four times — which you can — but if you try to redeem them for the $4.00 coupon again, it will tell you you’ve already printed it then will deduct the points from your account anyway.

Gerber Giveaway (12/14)

dhagerber

I have a great new giveaway for those of you with little ones! Gerber has some newer foods out, Gerber 2nd Foods purees with DHA and antioxidants, and Gerber 8 Grains and Yogurt cereal. What’s the deal with these?

  • Gerber 8 Grains and Yogurt Cereal helps introduce babies to the taste of yogurt — this looks like a useful idea when they’re not quite into yogurt yet but have been eating cereal. What’s in it? According to their site: “8 natural grains (Wheat, Barley, Rye, Corn, Sorghum, Rice, Millet, Oat), real yogurt, and Live and Active Cultures.” No artificial flavors, good source of iron.
  • Gerber DHA & Antioxidant Purees — what I like about these is that they have some new varieties like “apple blackberry.” If you’re feeding baby foods, it’s hard sometimes to introduce new tastes during this period, especially to picky little ones. They also have 18mg DHA per serving (this is what they’re also adding to baby formula lately, for eye and brain development). Plus, since they’re fruits or vegetables, obviously your vitamin C or A.

We weren’t in the baby food stage very long here with Mr. 2, since he came over at 9 months and was Mr. eat-anything-table-food almost immediately. So it’s interesting to take a look every once in a while — you think they can’t come up with anything new in those little jars, but I guess they do!

Giving away

I’m giving away one prize pack including a Gerber teddy bear, recipe tin, Gerber DHA Purees, and Gerber 8 Grains and Yogurt product.

How to enter

Please comment on this post through 11:59 PM CST on Monday, 12/14. Let me know — what’s your baby’s favorite food? One entry per comment, one comment per person, please.

Fine print

U.S. residents only. Winner will be chosen on 12/15/09 by random number generation at random.org. I was not compensated by Gerber to post this. The prize is being provided by Gerber.
