Well, it took THREE days to get here, not two - funny how long it can take an overnighted package to arrive. Grumble. I was so irritated by the whole situation that I haven't even been online since Sunday. And instead of missing 2 days of work, I missed 3. Three frantic calls to my employers with heartfelt entreties not to fire me, please. I ( Read more... )

I am displeased. Very, very displeased. Yesterday my high speed modem bit the dust. Being a Saturday, even though I called the phone company right away to order a new modem and they are going to expedite shipping for free since I freaked out on them since without my highspeed connection I CANNOT WORK, it still won't be here until Tuesday ( Read more... )

Well, the verdict is in on David the poodle's balding - apparently, I am bathing him (and his brother poodle Nick) too often. Every 5 days is too much for a poodle, apparently. Who knew? The vet (who is actually a real hotty - it's never a burden to take the boys to see him) gave me vitamin supplements to increase the health of their skin and ( Read more... )

I just wanted pretty pictures of Ray on my desktop.

For some reason, I awoke this morning at the entirely unholy hour of 6:45 am. Since I don't go to work until 10, I usually sleep until 8:30 or so. The bright side is it's given me ample time to try to play catch up. I've been happily downloading videos from sharon28 LJ, listening to a radio interview with David Marciano which can be found here and ( Read more... )

I just checked my "manage friends" page, and have discovered that more than half of the people I have friended have friended me back. Bounce bounce. I hope that means that I am not boring anyone too much with my disjointed, inexperienced, newbie posts. What I need to do now is get over my pathological shyness and terror of saying something ( Read more... )

I made this last night. Today instead of embedding directly from a file, I'm using the embed from url and see if I can use Photobucket to host these walls before I run out of room in my LJ gallery...

UPDATE: It only took me 5 tries, but SUCCESS!

Well. Been offline for over a week. My son is here to visit, which is a wonderful thing. I am enjoying having him here greatly. Unfortunately, through no fault of his, but rather due to my own lack of organization skills, I have been unable to get anything fandom related accomplished. No art, no posts, no comments, no feedback to others, ( Read more... )

Today is a day to remember all veterans of foreign wars who have passed on. My father was a WWII vet, and I remember him every day, but today I will think about the contribution he and the other young men of his generation made not just to our country, but the world. They truly were "The Greatest Generation". I ask that everyone, regardless of ( Read more... )

I'm enamoured with Red, White or Blue. Made another wall before work this morning. It's been busy workwise, but I'm in a (hopefully) temporary lull currently. Got to go back and check my queue, but here's RW or B, take 2.
