The Queen of England passed away yesterday. I never met her, I've never been to England, and I only got to know her via news articles both online and off. Yet, I am sad.

She was queen before I was born, and like others have said - there will not be another Queen during the rest of my life. Her son, Charles, is now King Charles the Third. For the ( Read more... )

Received an email saying that I have had this account for 21 years. Has it really been that long? Where has the time gone?

I abhor working from home. The only human interaction is Pi and the cats. Oh, we go out for groceries and all that sundry crap, but there is nothing personal involved. Walking into work, greeting my coworkers, stocking my ( Read more... )

I’ve come to the conclusion that my main keyboard has an issue with the LJ user interface for posts. As such, it’s looking more like I will be using Word and then just cut/paste the random stuff.

Lately I’ve found myself listening to the same albums over and over. In the past this was one of my ways to relax, sometimes a way to cope, other days ( Read more... )

So to counter my "I feel like sh*t on a shingle," moments, I've taken up trying to plant stuff once again. Oh, and chopping the plant life on the hill. What saddens me is when my arms decide they no longer want to work together. Actually it's more frustrating than sad for me. But hey, I've got 3 viable and bushy cat nip plants, 7 different pepper ( Read more... )

Be happy that you missed the last week of fun here. Last Saturday was the day Pi asked me to order a coffee roaster (more after it arrives) because I had researched them for him. Lo and behold, not even 30 minutes later my video card blew up. I would like to think that it was jealous of the roaster, but who knows. Got the new card on Tuesday, and ( Read more... )

Goooooood Morning! It's not even 6am and I'm all ready to go for the day. Chances are I'll be heading to work with Ry after my appointment this morning, so I made sure to pack by bag of holding. Yes, that's what it is called. Got it from Thinkgeek for the trip to see Andee. Not sure what I want more; the Kindle or the Tablet. Yes, I'm still having ( Read more... )

So in order to be able to make it through tomorrow, I'm having to stay up as late as I can today. Such is life when your days and nights flip you off. I'm pretty sure someone, somewhere, is laughing about this. Right now I am rewatching Ep 12 of season 4; Doctor Who (reboot) and wishing for more coffee.

Bleh.

Maybe Torchwood next.

Now that the City has signed off on the deck, the next project with the construction company is to do a series of retaining walls to ensure the house doesn't slide into the road. The great news (in my opinion) is that there is no structural damage to the house from all the erosion caused by the little bastard mountain beavers ( Read more... )

For months I've been telling myself that I need to get back into writing. Unfortunately life has a way of telling me to piss off and clean up the kitty litter mess that Growly loves to make. His scritching at odd hours of the day and night...wait, I think I just got derailed ( Read more... )

*waves through the monitor* Allo and morning. Welcome to the "Oh Holy Crud I need all of My Meds" day, now with added catnip! Just remember, don't mix your nip and your coffee...tastes nasty ( Read more... )
