This weekend I resumed jogging daily, slapped together that ridiculous budget assignment for my management class, filed my taxes, cleared the ever-annoying Water Temple1 in Majora's Mask, did a load of laundry, finished burning the second season of Dexter to DVD, and mopped the kitchen and bathroom. I could have gotten a start on my bibliographic ( Read more... )

Hi! I'm updating because I don't want to work on this research paper, and my remaining options are "play on the Internet," "hook the Wii back up," and "mop." If I hook up the Wii I will never finish my work, and the bucket is out on the balcony. Alone. I'd hate to interrupt its quiet time ( Read more... )

I'm going to be very busy until next Tuesday afternoon, at which point I will become decidedly less busy; one of my classes will be over and another will be safely past the midterm. So as I spend my weekend frantically finishing up my papers and trying to concentrate on all the Foundations material I've been blowing off, I can at least look forward ( Read more... )

( And then squee about it under a big, fat SPOILER cut. Casual spoiling of previous Zelda games included at no extra charge. )

My brother, who was supposed to take me back to the middle of nowhere on his way back from Atlanta, changed his plans and headed home early. He'll be back up in north Georgia some time later this week and will pick me up then. I hope. I do have to work at some point.

But for now, I am having more vacation. I'm helping badger5 house-sit for mankiller's Wii, and so ( Read more... )

Since there are (and, until January, will be) no Wiis near me, these are not hot new console games, but I am adaptable. I'm tough. I spend only a few hours a day thinking about how much a Santa hat looks like a fluff-enhanced version of Link's hat when he's wearing the red ring/tunic/what-have-you.

Anyway, I sold a piece of my soul to Bookworm ( Read more... )

Someone explain to me how Podunk, Georgia not only sells out of Wiis at all Wii-selling locations, but also gets some sort of waiting list going on. Dammit, I don't want to support the scalpers on eBay, but I don't want to keep playing the "When will you get more units in? What do you mean, you don't know?" game, either. I hear rumors of shipments ( Read more... )

This year I'll be spending the last two days of November hammering out a final 6,000 words, as opposed to that time I vomited out 20,000 words in the same span of time. Right now I'm fighting valiantly against the urge to edit all the parts that are Really Bad and also to run through and see how many times I had a brain-splat and let my dichromatic ( Read more... )

I've hit the point where spending ten minutes in Belk gives me a splitting headache. I'm not sure whether it lurks in the endless sea of clothing or behind the ever-widening Clinique counter, but something in that store seeks to plunge me into Lovecraftian madness and then devour the remains of my soul. Next time my mother wants me to be her ( Read more... )

I have purchased pants! Let there be an end to baggy thighs and perpetually slipping waistbands. There is no joy like new pants joy ( Read more... )
