Haven't posted in a few days. But I've been reading and commenting. I'm feeling particularly uninspired currently. I'm getting used to having the dog sleep with me. That's a new experience. She's a sweetheart, but she snores. And she's heavy, and likes to sleep on top of your legs, or just beside them, so you can't move - and I like to move ( Read more... )

I stole this link from stephdray  because it's entirely too amusing.

Zell Miller challenges Chris Matthews to a duel!

The look on Chris' face is simply priceless. You can tell he's wondering the entire time whether or not it's real. Like he's waiting for Ashton to come out and say, "How does it feel to be Punk'd!?"  I particularly like the laugh track ( Read more... )

Today was a much better day. Thanks to all the people who were sweet to me (you know who you are). I even managed to track down a few old, old, old friends from HS that I hadn't really talked to in years and years. With luck, some of them might start tossing in some replies here.  We'll see.

I guess I could say that we're starting to feel the ( Read more... )

Odd day. Odd night. Odd few days. Odd life ( Read more... )

I lost my cat today. I had exactly half an hour with him when I got home before that evil woman came to take him ( Read more... )

So, final exams have ended, and I feel pretty confident about my performance. For the next few days, I'm in recovery mode. Catching up on sleep, catching up on my social ties, catching up on life ( Read more... )

One down, two to go. I allowed myself to cheat last night and actually napped for a couple of hours. I'm not worried about the test this morning, but I am worried that I didn't leave myself enough time to finish my paper and get through all my finance notes before tomorrow morning. In a little bit, I'll crawl into bed to grab a few more hours, ( Read more... )

I got home safe from my weekend trip, and very happy I spent the time, but oy! I'm a tuckered out little scamp. It's not even 9 yet, and I'm heading to bed just as soon as I click 'Update Journal'. The first and last couple hours of the drive back were rough. I was seriously zoned. With luck, I'll be able to sleep in tomorrow morning even though ( Read more... )

The week before finals. Gah. I hate it. Don't you? I know it's only summer, and all that. But still. This week is horribly rough. The professors realize they're way, way behind and won't get to all the stuff in class that they have planned to test you on for the final exam, so they start assigning mass amounts of reading to compensate. Do ( Read more... )

I really miss trains. Do you have that? You get used to something from your childhood, or whenever (for me it was the five years or so right after high school), and then you go through the rest of your life feeling slightly out of place until, randomly, you hear/see/smell that familiar thing again and you just have to smile and think, "Ah. That' ( Read more... )
