Randomness

Does everyone get purple lint in the laundry? Or is it just my special blend of clothes? The boy says he gets grey lint.

And I bet everyone thought I was so intelligent because I talk about books ;).

On another note: it was sunny today! It was sunny yesterday too! Sunny and warm, though not warm enough to walk around without a jacket. But it was lovely, and there was sunshine, and I strolled outside to the library from work for lunch with the boy (waaaay too many prepositional phrases in a row). I rejoice in the general sunniness.

I'm also greatly looking forward to going home (Wednesday! Just a few more days...) ^_^. I'm also going to be seeing a high school friend I haven't seen for a few years, which will be great fun! Currently debating what books I should buy for her, and am also going to give her my Buffy episode, not out of the goodness of my heart, but because I shamelessly try to addict everyone ^_^.

ETA: the boy complains about a headache from work: "I had to play lots of first-person shooter games at work on Friday because we were testing."

I get purple lint when I wash red clothing and gray lint when I wash everything else.

I think this is my most banal comment ever.

I get purple lint from my lad of blue jeans. Go figure. Everything else is grey.

Ok, maybe that's it (I tend to figure reds and jeans both go in the cold-water load): it's the indigo in the blue jeans.

My trying to speak from experience here is ridiculous because I probably don't change the lint traps more often than at every fourth load.

Hanging head in shame.

See now, I know I didn't learn as much as I should of in Color class at art school. What a way to blow a wad of money.

I get lint approximately the color of the clothes that were in the dryer. My clothes alone usually lead to a grey lint, but since I wash B's as well, which consist of all the colors of the rainbow, I end up washing smaller loads of lots of different individual colors, so I get pink, red, blue, etc lint.


Also, yay for your trip home!

I get calico lint, from previous cat of same colors. Will soon be red, due to replacement cat.

There may be purple, grey, and others under the fur, but in lint as elsewhere, cats rule.

Our lint is ALWAYS either purple or grey. We joke about it; The Swiss Family Goth. (We wear a lot of purple and black, so no big shock there.)
