On Friday, I thought I had already spent the remainder of my refund. It wasn't until *after* I got home from the munch and made a quick call that I found out I had about $100 left. Crap. Oh well. On Saturday morning an idea formed. I went to OSH and picked up some seeds (corn, squash, cherry tomatoes, and basil), potting soil, and a seed ( Read more... )

Friday was good. I finally got my refund check and quickly cashed it. It was weird walking into the local branch and seeing the Chase logo everywhere (It reminds me of an all-seeing eye. "They are watching you."). I'm gonna miss WaMu. When my mom retires, I'm gonna find a nice credit union to stick with. This latest economic hiccup has taught ( Read more... )

I spent most of Friday (17th) puttering around the house trying not to eat. When I last bought food, I avoided buying anything ready-made or with a quick prep time (other than pasta); it really helped. I did some light cleaning to burn time until the munch. I got there a bit late due to some heavy traffic, but it didn't seem overly crowded. ( Read more... )

Yesterday was very topsy turvy. I woke up and didn't feel like facing the world outside my room, so I pwned a bit on the original Legend of Zelda using an old strategy guide. Knowing where all the hidden rupee caches and the cheap shops are really speeds things up. After picking up a few items in dungeon four, I let myself die and headed out. I ( Read more... )

After the Sunday munch, I headed home and downloaded a few BDSM stories I had been missing over the past few months. I kept puting off reading them when Cerebrate was up and running because other stuff kept popping up. Now, finding myself with a modicum of downtime, I found that I wanted to read them and went on a trek through the internet to get ( Read more... )

Twilight: This movie confused the hell out of me. There are other options other than hunting animals or feeding on humans. Try robbing a blood bank (Vampire: The Masquerade) or talk to your local butcher about buying pig's blood by the quart (My Best Friend's a Vampire). Or, if you're daring enough, set up a collection of *willing* humans that ( Read more... )

Wednesday night I hunkered down and watched three of the four movies I got yesterday ( Read more... )

A lot has been keeping me from even thinking about posting lately. After Cerebrate melting down, I only surfed through necessity and put my energy into other pursuits. I did a little yard work (when it wasn't raining), cleaned up around the house, did massive loads of laundry, finished my current reading book, repaired my BDU's, and started a new ( Read more... )

This year, my holidays were nice and mellow. On the 21st, my parents threw a party for my mom's side of the family and pretty much did what my cousin usually does at her place on Christmas Eve. Since I was helping out at the party on the 20th (which totally rocked, and I still have marks from that fucking spatula) and they still aren't quite ( Read more... )
