Someone found and returned the pook earlier today. Reports place her as tired, thirsty, starving and walking funny. But home and alive. Excellent news because now I don't have to kill anyone! Haven't gotten to see her yet, but I'll be heading by before I hit work. I'm so freaking relieved to know she's okay. I'm still coming down from being all ( Read more... )

Pooka's now missing after two days. I'm feeling some... tension. I can't do anything except distribute flyers and that feels less than productive, but there's really nothing else I can do except summon the dog with a wand. Still hoping she's okay, I'm worried as hell about that fucking dog. I'm barely keeping it together and if I don't get word ( Read more... )

Pooka, my incredibly precious fox terrier, is missing. As per usual, the blame sits on the shoulders of my sister or her associates. I'm fuzzy on the particulars, but my limited understanding is that Caitlin's beau left open multiple doors to my parents' garage; which he also decided to leave open. Pooka saw an opportunity and grabbed it ( Read more... )

"If by 'asshole' you mean dual-nunchuk wielding Abraham Lincoln, then I concur."
I never really got into D&D, but I know people who did and had to endure more knowledge about dice with twenty sides and what Max might do if he were evil and near an orphanage. This series brings back so many hilarious memories and hits closer to home than I should ( Read more... )

Freakin' awesome. I've finished the story mode and now I'm going through the Free Play modes. It's weird, but it's vastly better than the Star Wars or Indiana Jones games with its instant accessibility and layers of depth its more of the same and yet still better. It simply screams to be played and all the humor from the previous Lego games are ( Read more... )

I'm not exactly lovin' this game. It's slow, it's boring and I would happily man the cannons that fired most of the cast of LOST into the sun. I got sucked into the first season and enjoyed the second until about halfway through. Jury's still out on actually watching the third and fourth seasons. I'd rather be watching Supernatural ( Read more... )

I have examined the contents of the mysterious envelope. Weirdly enough this DID have to do with my dead grandpa. It is possible that I was listed as a beneficiary in his will, something that might involve land in West Virginia. The envelope itself was regarding a class action suit against gas companies coming out of West Virginia, it was directed ( Read more... )

So my sister called at 2am this morning to tell me "I may be a winner!", or rather she fires off that I have legal mail regarding a possible inheritance or settlement in West Virginia as a document's envelope reads that awaits me at my folks house. Which prompts her to think that our paternal Grandfather (a mean, cantankerous son of a bitch who ( Read more... )

So I've come to the conclusion that Darrell had a good idea in not sending stuff outside the damn country. I spent a week off of eBay and I return to find I've had a dispute filed against me by a guy who doesn't speak a lick of english and is nothing but a nervous, squeaky wheel ( Read more... )

My already formidable powers of cynicism are growing at a rapid and unsettling pace. Our "remodel" of the store is complete, but our corporate overlords failed to mention in advance that they were basically bending us over for their particular act of love and appreciation. Our storage space is easily halved, or more accurately like a third of ( Read more... )
