Nicked this from a friend's journal. This started as comment on that entry, but I figured it would make more sense to just answer it here. And yes, I realize that there is a giant ANSWER button, but I didn't feel like letting random strangers reading my response. Despite the fact that it's an open journal entry and anyone can ANYWAY. But that ( Read more... )

Well, I was right about the glasses. They got here on friday afternoon. Not too bad, really. Took all of five days, half of what they initially told me. The first thing I noticed is how easier it is to read text. The difference is small, but noticeable. It's much clearer now. The problem is I don't know how often I am supposed to wear them ( Read more... )

Bleh, longish day. Spent something like 4 hours with my brother playing chase-the-christmas-gifts. He wanted to pick up some things for his girlfriend, and it involved going to multiple places to track down said available item. No, I will not say what because if I do, Murphy's law states she will somehow stumble onto this exact post and I will ( Read more... )

So recently MSN has become my primary IM program. I am tempted to just up and jump ship from ICQ altogether ( Read more... )

Well. Looks like it has been over a year since my last post. Crazy. Well, expect for the fact that there will be all of what, two people who read this? I had considered not posting here again, possibly even closing it down completely, but I suppose I like to have a place to empty my head into, despite readership levels (or lack thereof ( Read more... )
