In my earlier post I lamented on not having the frame of mind to make creative posts (or posts in general) here on LJ. My reasoning was not entirely forthright, because there have been times I wanted to make a post, but external factors thwart my attempts. One in particular, actually.

Thanks to the wonderfully kind and delightfully cute jacked01, who stood in line for me at the DMV today, I finally have my temporary parking permits. I tried Tuesday at the Columbia office of the DMV, a tiny office in a strip mall the size of a Radio Shack, and the line there was outside the door. Being that this particular day also dealt me with several ( Read more... )

At the moment there is an odd, strong thunderstorm rumbling happily outside, making a mess of the leaves that I am hoping to deal with this weekend. This summer as I was busy playing cripple the yard pretty much was neglected. I hope to get the yard cleaned up for the winter, and next year do a lot more than I have been to keep the place looking ( Read more... )

I've been lax in timely updates. Not all has been spent stumbling around like Pegleg the Pirate on ice, though. Late last week I braved the DMV/MVA for all of about 20 minutes to acquire a temporary handicap parking tag for the car.

With the weatherman predicting crappy weather for Saturday, I did not expect to get much done outside. As it was, the weather was quite nice, and some much needed spring cleaning took place. A full truckoad (no kidding) of flattened cardboard boxes got taken to recycling. A full 55 gallon bag plus a partial one filled with styro packing peanuts I ( Read more... )

I know, bad blogger, no updates. Trying to change that ( Read more... )

As usual, I've been a bad blogger, no regular updates 'n' all that shit. Been pretty busy at work, then I come home mentally exhausted and not much in the mood for anything challenging. That sort of carried itself into this weekend, where I did little non-critical projects, some of them odd, some necessary. The bathroom vent fan in the travel ( Read more... )
