Bad news for my iBaby (aka my iBook laptop). I'm at the Apple Store in Towson, backing up my computer with a pack of CD-Rs I stopped and bought on my way here (only to back up one document for work).

Ok, no, but it is awfully runny and driving me quite insane, reallly. That, and I can't breathe through it. All around, not a good nose today. Runny and stuffed at the same time. And I'm sneezing to no end ( Read more... )

i just learned to cross-stitch, self-taught as it's not as hard as it looks, really. i messed up on my first attempt (mis-counted) but my second attempt went well. there are a few mistakes, but none of them had a great affect on the outcome. just a missed stitch here or there, where it didn't matter. picture under cut.

I have family in Kansas, and a family friend has a dog that she has to get rid of (her mom won't let her keep her). This dog is a mix of german shepherd, australian shepherd, and wolf. She will be a year old on October 5th, so she's still a puppy! She likes cats, she likes to be inside, she's easy to train, and is house-trained, she loves to run ( Read more... )

I got a new Dean Koontz book. I like Dean Koontz books. yay. Maybe I'll start it tonight. It's called The Bad Place. It's actually an old book of his, it seems they are re-publishing some of his earlier books. If no one has ever read anything by him and you are curious, let me know. I could suggest and/or lend you a book or two ( Read more... )

Okay, so I'm so very tired. And as I said yesterday, the last few days have been crazy. Sunday I left here pretty late to go spend the night at Angel's so I could register for classes on Monday morning, as soon as possible. This means (because of my vampirish sleep schedule) that I didn't sleep Sunday night/Monday morning. I signed up for classes, ( Read more... )
