So far today, I woke up and drank some coffee, blasted some Chieftains music, and chased Micky (my boston terrier) around the yard for a good hour. His favorite game is to smack me in the shins with his rope toy, and then run like mad around the yard growling and spinning while I chase him, until I pretend to lose interest, then the whole process ( Read more... )

It finally feels like fall here today. :-) Kinda cool (still a bit warmer than it should be in Buffalo this time of year, but I'm not blaming the warm weather on pandoraculpa moving up here or anything. Ahem.), and it has that autumn smell today.

Autumn means that it's almost Halloween/Samhain.
Yay!And THAT means that it's almost time for the snow to start ( Read more... )

Okay, so I'm a bit bored with the playlists on my iPod, and need some new stuff to listen to at work. So, does anyone want to give me a new list of songs to listen to? If you can add downloads links also, that would kick ass, but just suggestions would be nice ( Read more... )

For the past 3 weekends, we've had somewhere to go (Finger Lakes, visit the family in PA, trips with kids), so I feel like I've just been going to work, coming home to laundry & unpacking & repacking, only to get back in the car again to drive drive DRIVE somewhere for the weekend again ( Read more... )

So, we've been in Pennsyltucky at the good 'ol Butler Boardinghouse since Thursday night, and we drive back home to Buffalo tomorrow morning. Yesterday was a huge yard party/pig roast to celebrate my brother's engagement, my parents' anniversary (which was yesterday), and mine & Ol's Anniversary (which was last week). In true Butler Boardinghouse ( Read more... )

I got this from sveinn's journal, and it amuses the hell out of me.

Here I am as a Simpsons character:

I spent today building a new floor in one of our upstairs bedrooms (we had previously removed the floor entirely before the last tenant. It's best not to ask why.) and cleaning the hell out of the apt. to get it ready for pandoraculpa and her daughter who are moving in this Friday. They're making the long trek from Richmond, VA to good 'ol Buffalo, and ( Read more... )

So, I just recently finished reading Dirty Job by Christopher Moore. For those of you who haven't read this one, there's a small character in the book who is a homeless man with two dogs (a boston terrier named Bummer, and another one who's name I don't recall) who lives on the streets of San Fran and considers himself the Emperor of San Fran.

I just got a call from my brother, and he told me that he finally proposed to his girlfriend of forever, the fabulous Jana.

Yay!

We love Jana.

This is good news indeed. :-)

So, I just scored myself 20 free song downloads from an mp3 site, and can't seem to decide on what to download. All of the music I've been dying to have, well, I already got it (because I'm a huge music whore, it's true). I figured I would use this 20 Song GC to get some new music that I'm not so familiar with ( Read more... )
