I've moved most or all of my worldly belongings many times in the last six years. I think I'm sitting at right around 7. So when I say that it is much easier to move when you don't have to unpack everything, I know whereof I speak. You move your stuff, yeah, but you only unpack as needed and thus don't have to deal with all that stuff that's just ( Read more... )

Nothing like waking up to purring kitty in your ear and a soft paw on your shoulder. Really, there isn't ( Read more... )

Today I get to go to the DMV. (sarcastic) woot ( Read more... )

*headdesk* This morning, I was in a good mood. Pretty decent mood coming home, too. Came home, checked the mail, found out I have a new car ins. policy with an agent I think is "special" and didn't actually want. Then I got a call that today was my last day of work... Two lessons here. One, don't check the mail. Two, don't answer the phone. That ( Read more... )

So I was out adding a mob of uncooked macaroni to water while the rest of the chocolate bar on the kitchen table called out to me to stuff it all in my mouth at once and gorge myself on its rich goodness, when I decided to have a drink instead. And no, I don't want to hear that it does not constitute a diet to drink every time you crave sweets, ( Read more... )

Blurgle. What a confusing day. We came back and it seemed like everything immediately went wonkier. Mom was pulling her give-Shannon-things-that-aren't-hers-and-she-doesn't-want, we ran behind, then we left my second set of car keys with Mom (she messed up the mojo on my car cleaning it -- the lock dealie fell off AND it stalled >.< ). Then Eric ( Read more... )

So all but maybe two of the wedding invites have gone out. I'm supposed to start a new job this coming Monday for a mainly insurance company w/offices here in the city. My car needs most of its exhaust system replaced, not just its muffler. If it is up to the manifold, I'm looking at 500 plus, behind the catalytic converter is 250-300. I *think* it ( Read more... )

Watching "Harrison Bergeron" again. It's kind of a low-level sad movie most of the way through, but I like it anyway. I like it a good deal. "They're happy, Harrison, they're happy." "Yeah, well, I'm really f***ing unhappy. And you know what? I like it. It, it's real. I feel alive." Saddest two lines of the whole movie: "What just happened?" "I'm ( Read more... )

I can't tell if AIM 6 is brokity or if it's just a coincidence, but I installed the new version and now it's acting weird. Said my connection was wrong, but all the other internet worked, and won't let me IM people who are offline. Also, it's kind of ugly ( Read more... )

Internet IN the office (aka second bedroom)! Woohoo! Okay, so I think that signal amplifiers mess up the signal for the purpose of cable internet. That's my hypothesis ( Read more... )
