Bleaching my hair or shaving my head
Do you want to see pictures of me with bleached hair? Or a shaved head? Or shaved legs? I am trying to raise money for homeless pets in Austin, and am willing to endure public humiliation in order to do so. Details are here. Anything helps! -
Caturday
Rasputin doesn't seem to understand that when he looks out the back door and sees a rainy, dreary day, it's actually going to be like that when he gets outside.

House stuff!
My offer was accepted for the house I mentioned previously, and we're on schedule for a closing date of August 29th (next Friday). I've never signed so many papers in all of my life, but I'm excited at the prospect of owning my own home.

Much quicker than expected
The first house I looked at today was great, and I'm going to make an offer on it. It's comfortably within my price range and the house appears to be in excellent shape. Of course I'll be having it inspected to look for any non-obvious problems ( Read more... )
