So. Saturday has begun with me POURING JUST OFF THE BOIL TEA over my left hand. I've soaked it as much as I can bear to in icy water, and there's only a slight red mottling showing on the skin, but it hurts - just a little at rest and more when I touch it or subject it to even tepid water (as when I washed my hands just now.) This may perhaps complicate the cooking plans for this evening's Buffy Night. Perhaps today my job will be Organize Objects rather than Wash Stuff.
I have been reading the Sparkledammerung summary of the Twilight "books" and concluding even more forcefully than I did before that my mother's plan to read them so as to understand her adolescent girl students is A BAD PLAN. Even having her read the summary is A BAD PLAN because I think the hilarious manips that illustrate it will confuse and disturb her even before the plot can do so.
Totally unrelated, does anyone use Audacity for sound editing (particularly converting cassettes to mp3s??) I've got the software in and I've recorded one side of a tape, no problem, but the program won't let me edit the file. I can see "export selection as mp3" but the option is grayed out. Any idea what option I've enabled or disabled that I shouldn't?
ETA Figured it out! I hadn't downloaded the mp3 encoder thingy. That, as it turns out, makes alllllll the difference.

It's stuff in a later book that I think would wig my mom out... stuff about sex, pregnancy, and vampirism. So maybe Twilight itself would be ok for her.
