No Marigolds, Gromit!

Yes, the title means the marigolds still haven't germinated. I'd like them to bloom before the summer is over... Everything else is flourishing, though, and I've started drying the chamomile in a pasta strainer.

I'd be at work right now if I felt any better. I'm not quite sure what happened myself because I felt fine until the first hour at work. I started to feel weak and thought it was just because I was hungry, but when I went for my break, my stomach hurt and I couldn't keep my dinner down. I do feel a bit better now - not 100%, but since I prepare meals at work it's probably for the best that I went home in case it is contagious.

I'm starting to use Opera (the browser) and I think I'll keep it. It runs pretty fast compared to the other ones I've used, which would include MSIE, Firefox, Chrome and Netscape.

Wow, when did I last use Netscape? Almost a decade ago, if not a bit more than that. Do people still use Netscape? Wikipedia says it was discontinued in 2008. I wonder if the latest version still plays the meteor animation while the page is loading.


I still find myself going to Firefox every so often, mainly because it is still technically my main browser and when other applications use the internet, they open Firefox. Not a huge deal. I still need it because a handful of sites don't work so well in Opera, but not enough to bother me. Not that anyone is really interested in which browser I use.

I went to check my referring sites on the Blogger dashboard just for shits. Turns out this blog made its way to Stumbleupon somehow. I signed up a few minutes ago to try to find it, but I couldn't. Weird.

Another thing I've started using is Wish. Basically, you make a wish list and earn rewards based on your activity. I've already been rewarded with this. The funny thing is even though I like it, I didn't really want it badly, I just wished for it as a favour to the person who added it. Out of the three people who wished for it, she was the only one who didn't get it, which I found weird because one of the ways in which you can get rewards is by having someone who follows you wish for something you added. Stupid Paypal wouldn't let me transfer the rebate to my bank account because it was too low, but I was able to put it towards one of my boyfriend's birthday presents.

I'm not saying what it is because I know he reads this and it will ruin the surprise.

I should probably be in bed, but I am so used to being up later than this that I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway. Hopefully I'll get enough OSAP this year that I'll be able to sort-of quit/only work a few 4-hour shifts when I'm needed and not until close. That would be great.
