My house got struck by lightning yesterday... actually, it looks like either the garage did, or a tree next to the garage did, but either way it was pretty exciting, seeing as how it seems like it went in through the gas pipe and messed up the fan on the A/C, as well as killing the answering machine and blowing up (literally!) the garage door ( Read more... )

Supposedly this is the worst summer job market in 37 years... yet almost all of my friends in the twin cities have jobs, except me. I did get a suggestion to try a temp agency, so I'll look into that, but I have dropped applications at 7 different places in Eagan, and checked innumerable job search web sites, and I've yet to even get any kind of ( Read more... )

It was a little weird though, because his graduation party seemed to have at least as many people visiting to see his parents as their were to see him... pretty odd to me - my parents NEVER have friends over that aren't ( Read more... )

There's something odd about sleeping at home now. I live in a room that's well sheltered from the rest of the house- only loud noises reach it. But it feels somehow lonely now. In Langlow, at least for the second half of the year, when I went to bed there wasn't much distraction-although David was my roomate he was on the other side of a dividing ( Read more... )

They killed the wrong charecter! They could have killed anyone except for Anya and I would have been happy... Whedon is a complete Bastard! (unless it was Emma Caulfield's fault - she could have just been annoying in some contract negotiation or something ( Read more... )
