Is anyone else having problems with their friends page? For me, no entries are showing up after Yixsh's fandom post last week... not even my comments on that post, that I remember posting and seeing at some point.

I went garage sailing this morning (great pasttime!), and acquired a lot of unnecessary (but inexpensive) stuff - like an old literature textbook that a lady gave me for free because she was sympathetic to my geekiness and no one else wanted it.

I was getting worried for a while this season... but...

Well, I have two ride options to come home. If I go by way of Cedar Rapids, I cannot bring my cello and will have to leave it at the new house for a few weeks until my father gets the time to drive 18 hours both ways specifically to come get my cello (there isn't enough room in the car and the first half of the flight would be on a tiny jet).
