So I got up this morning and had...no cold water. Is that not the most bizarre thing you've ever heard? No hot water, sure. But cold? First a trickle came out of the shower, and it was hot, and then nothing at all. I have cold water everywhere else, so it's clearly a shower issue. Still. Annoying ( Read more... )

OH HAI LJ, I AM POSTING FROM MY LAPTOP. IN MY HOUSE!

( Also: )

Somebody just tried to unlock my apartment door!

ETA: What was funny was Henry running to the door upon hearing the "Mom's home" noises and then sitting down and looking at the door, then me, then the door.

Yes, I totally DID just quote a Cinderella song. I've always been ambivelant about air conditioning. It seems like such a pricey luxury. That's the Crusty New Englandah in me talking, I know. It's easy to dismiss such things when you've grown up in a northern valley surrounded by trees, where the swimming pool gets up to 70 degrees, tops, and we ( Read more... )

No, not another kitty and DEFINITELY not a baby human, but ( a bouncing baby )

They have a big yellow spot on their faces and like to hover for a minute right at eye level, determining if I possess tasty nectar. Just now I was on the balcony and saw one bee chasing another. It was quite the donneybrook. The aggresor ( Read more... )

I want to live in a yurt. I mean, who wouldn't? If for no other reason than you'd get to say the word 'yurt' a lot and that would be awesome. 'Cause hey. A yurt. What's not to love about a yurt?

I'm totally craving pizza right now. What's up with that? I don't even like pizza all that much. But I totally want pizza, like NOW. Hmm, I did get a $25 gc for Pat's pizza as a thank-you gift at work. There may be pizza in my future ( Read more... )
