So I've been sitting around for the past week, watching T.V. and working half-days....by yesterday I was itching for things to return to full-swing. Time goes too slow when you can spend a whole day watching a telethon of The Biggest Loser. Also, my boredom was experienced with an overlay of anticipation mixed with fear of the unknown regarding ( Read more... )

I'm sad about James Brown.

our power is OUT OUT OUT. it's been out all afterevening. all the time no power. no electricity is boring. at least i have a laptop now. with a battery. and at least i can have my precious little internets, too. i'll just sit here in the glow of the flashing police cruiser that's monitoring the hazardousness of the no lights in the intersection ( Read more... )

THIS IS INSANE.

Surprise! I DID vote! I have been shocking and dismaying friends lately as I have stared shamefaced and silent at every inquiry as to whether I will vote. I thought I didn't re-register when I moved into the city. I thought I wouldn't be able to for some reason.

I just got my acceptance package for Pacific Oaks College. It's located in California, but I will be doing coursework online. They are like a leftist kind of ( Read more... )

Over the past few days, we've seen a transformation in our dog. no, he hasn't turned into a fighting robot (though that would be SU-WEEEEET!). he's just calmed down and chilled out. after weeks of struggling with him living up to his name, we had to start leashing him in the apartment because he just kept nipping at us and jumping on us. although ( Read more... )

my phone is dead as a dead dead doornail! this evening, mike and i were enjoying what we now recognize as a suspicious lack of noise from our dog. suddenly we heard a tremendously loud sound that sounded like a million shopping carts falling down the stairs. havoc jumped, which made us jump, wondering what it was. immediately we realized there were ( Read more... )

Havoc tore up the kitchen for the first time. luckily it was mostly trash that he tore up...but still it's no fun to get home to a kitchen-o-HAVOC. all in all, one big mess and a couple of little ones aren't bad for his first week. i still like him. i guess.
