It's Omaha, folks!
This started, oh, maybe six or seven months ago. Being involved in the political spectrum, both at a local and national level, and being an Obama supporter, I meet up with a lot of other Obama supporters. So, I shouldn't have been surprised that, occasionally, this mistake would happen ( Read more... ) -
The Garage (a tale of horror)
There comes a time in ones life when, no matter how obsessed with rules or perfection or cleanliness one is, one ends up just letting things pile on to one's detriment. Case in point: ( The Garage. ) -
Bus reroute hilarity continues
I mentioned in a previous post about how one particular bus route has been detoured due to construction. Well, apparently METRO, the section of King County that handles public transit has not been educating their drivers very well about this route, because I've had to deal now four times with drivers who didn't know the route. They continue to miss ( Read more... ) -
You know you're in trouble when...
Last week, when waiting at the nearest bus stop for the 132, I noticed a warning sign at the bus stop. The stop would be closed starting 4/25, because construction would be starting on Des Moines Memorial Drive up ahead and the road would be closed for about a mile. Board the bus on Ambaum (the road that forked off of this one just a 100 feet south ( Read more... ) -
I really should monitor what I say around the kid...
Elf was having gut issues which was resulting in certain...er...noises coming from him. And though he claimed he had no control, they always seemed to happen at the worst times (or maybe the right times, depending on your POV). In any case, I was ribbing him for it, while Kouryou-chan was listening in ( Read more... ) -
No thanks, Safeway
Today I went into the Safeway near Kouryou-chan's spring break daycamp. I needed to grab something for breakfast, and thought I'd use their wifi while I waited for the next bus. I accessed the network and brought up my browser to log on. They had a terms of service which I'd never read, having never used Safeway's wifi before, so I decided to do a ( Read more... ) -
A Good Example
I could smell it before I touched it. My fine, $200 black Italian leather boots....soaked with cat pee. I was furious ( Read more... ) -
Elf Fell For It!!!!
Elf was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, listening to NPR. Suddenly, with an appalled look on his face, Elf turned to me and said, "Are you listening to this ( Read more... ) -
"Apple's New Aluminum Keyboard Suxors!", or "They Should Have Told Me That!!"
Sunday we took a trip to the local mall, in which an Apple store was located. Since we had finally gotten the kids' G4 working, and they needed an Apple keyboard, I gave them my old one (partly because it is rather stiff typing). So, I needed a new one. I bought the new Apple anodized aluminum keyboard ( Read more... ) -
Why Glenn Beck Suxors!
So, I'm surfing through CNN, having nothing better to do at the moment (and having just read an article on the site anyway). And I see a headline for an article that peaks my interest. Too Bad, Michigan and Florida. I decide to read it ( Read more... )
