Better off dead

The conflicting beliefs of the fanatically religious

Getting my new bed: Nothing is ever simple
My new bed is so awesome. It almost wasn't, though. The delivery guys called on Friday to tell me they expected to be at my apartment between 11 and 3 on Saturday. Cool. Fine. On Saturday I slept in a bit (if you can call 8ish sleeping in) and got a bit of a slow start, but I had lots of time, right? I needed to dismantle my old bed, and get ( Read more... ) -

Harry Potter exhibit/movie, unemployment sucks
Damian and I went to the Harry Potter Exhibit at the science center yesterday. It was pretty cool. It was a timed entry, and when we got in, they chose a member of the group to be sorted. There were about 15-ish people in our group, including 3 children between about 5 and 10. I think everyone wanted one of the kids to be sorted, but they were ( Read more... )
