It is done: I am in Seattle. I have a place to live. It is a nice place to live. I have housemates. They are nice housemates. I have my cats. They are no longer quite as angry at me ( Read more... )

If you wish to annoy a blonde -- I mean really reduce it to spitting fury -- eat its leftovers from Outback without saying anything, thus not affording it the opportunity to go to the store and obtain something else to have for dinner. Because nothing is funnier than leaving your blonde kneeling in front of the fridge at seven o'clock at night, ( Read more... )

Get up for a pee-break, find roommate lurking in hall. Become convinced in half-awake state that roommate = horrible monster come to rend and devour. Dump buttload of adrenaline straight into bloodstream. Return to bed to hide from horrible monster, get attacked by attention-starved cat.

Get out of bed twenty minutes early.

I hate waking up two hours before my alarm. I ( Read more... )

I'm seriously trying to finish getting my existing backlog of (other people's) artwork framed and hung, if only for protection purposes. This ( Read more... )

This morning, having determined that my monitor just was not going to come back from the dead, X. and I went off to run errands. Wheee, errands. Now, normally I hate, loathe and abhor the process of running errands. We wind up going to half a dozen places that weren't on the schedule, everything takes far too long, and I'm cranky about two hours ( Read more... )

We had a power outage last night, and S. (trying to be kind) came into my room to reset my alarm. Didn't want to wake me, and hence did not turn on lights or make 'here I am' noises ( Read more... )
