our biscuits are a lil bit softer than scones...i make scones a lot, actually- cranberry ones!

for some reason that i don't recall i was reading about lamingtons on wikipedia a couple weeks ago- they sound very yummy indeed!

it is weird b/c when i work the reference desk i have to look like i am doing more than just sitting there, but i don't want to bring any actual work out there b/c i will get too into it and then start resenting the patrons that ask for help (even tho that is the whole reason i am out there, i know it's horrible)

so what i do is pull up wikipedia and click "random article" over and over again- so it looks like reference work but it's really just surfing lol

IT NEVER FAILS that i will read about something really random and totally new to me and that topic will come up in coinversation somewhere within the next week- and i get to sound tolly impressive b/c i know all about it lol

last week it was (Houston ex-mayor) Kathy Whitmire- on Friday i surfed randomly to her page after getting Van Halen and then clicking Sammy Hagar and then clicking his ex-band montrose and then clicking disambiguation for montrose and getting the Houston neighborhood montrose and then getting Kathy whitmire b/c she got a lot of votes in montrose!!!

on sunday my friend mentioned her! and asked what ever happened to her! and i was able to tell her she is now a real estate investor in Hawaii!

i still don't remember the path that led me to lamingtons tho
