Who even remembers that I've got a LJ? Couldn't blame anyone if the answer was "Nobody, and quit bugging us ya creep" since I myself haven't made an entry in eons and have barely prowled or posted to my friends' LJ for even longer than that. But I do have an excuse of sorts... apart from making RainFurrest last weekend things really have bee quite ( Read more... )

Ah, me. I don't post to this very much, do I? What has been going on with us? Well, we're looking at getting a little condo! A place we both really love. It'll be the first place we ever owned (after renting for years, the thought of finally becoming a homeowner is quietly thrilling) but even with my new job it's going to strain our finances. So ( Read more... )

This is the year when everybody gets to perform incredible death-defying feats in cool-ass automobiles loaded with mind-boggling gadgets while meeting all kinds of astounding types, half of whom will be insanely twisted and physiologically bizarre megalomaniacs who will be obsessed with killing you in some spectacular way but due to your suave ( Read more... )

Christmas at my mother-in-laws place. Couldn't quite get my dad out here for the holidays 'cause of some insanely wretched weather out there but that's not too bad 'cause we've (my dad and my brother and hi family and Shirlee's mom and Shirlee and I) got to meet earlier this year (albeit TOO briefly... gotta make better plans, folks!) and I'm just ( Read more... )

Birthdays can be odd things. They remind you you're alive, or rather they remind you how long you've been alive. Which, if you're busy living that life, you probably don't spend a lot of time thinking about. Because you're busy doing it. ^_^ This year, as opposed to years past, was a very eventful one for me and everyone around me, and so there ( Read more... )

Well, my father's safely home and I'm sitting here at my keyboard again trying to grope around for some words, any words, that could describe what I'm like now. Because I am different now, I think. My physical dimensions may appear about the same, but there's a hole in my life that has been filled, repaired, made all better. If there's anyone ( Read more... )

My father is back! ^_^

Just one thing before I start this entry:
SEAT BELTS WORK. THEY SAVE LIVES. IF YOU AREN'T
WEARING THEM, YOU MAY BE ON BORROWED TIME.Shirlee and I got a phone call at 6:00 in the evening on Monday. My brother's wife ( Read more... )

I felt it was a shame to have to work on St. Patrick's Day, so I called in
sick. ^_^ Shirlee wasn't wearing green, so she got pinched. ^___^ She
claimed it was hardly fair since, technically, she hadn't had the chance
to even get dressed yet. I admitted she had a point. ^_______^

Had quite a bit of time this last Saturday and Sunday for a change, and
decided to reacquiant myself with the fine art of Making Ones Modem Wheeze
And Ones Ancient Desktop Creak With Tons Of Online-Ness All At Once! Been
a while since I did that (been a while since I had time to do that, poor ( Read more... )
