So when I go out to my car to go to work last night I discover a lovely bright orange parking violation sticker on my driver's side window. You know, right smack in the middle of my field of view and impossible to get off. Now mind you, I was not parked in the permitted parking areas, not in a fire lane, handicapped spot, in front of a dumpster or ( Read more... )

I am so glad I did early voting (apparently half the registered voters in NV did as well) and voted last week and missed all the fun at the polls yesterday. I'll admit, I was more concered with the questions on our ballot than the elected officials. Other than the governor. Can I say that I'm surprised Jim Gibbons won?

Well according to the newest study, the Las Vegas metro area (taking into account Henderson-N. LV, and unincorperated Clark County in the valley) has the dubious honor of being the 4th most dangerous city in the country. My former home - Melbourne ranks 150th.

Okay people, if you post ads about rooms for rent/wanting roomates, please respond in a prompt manner to my requests for more information. I feel like an email spammer. I think I've sent out about 5 requests in the past couple of days with basically the same email body since I've gotten tired of trying to customize emails to each ad. I've gotten ( Read more... )

Hot damn! Today was the most exciting weather day we've had since I've been out here. Almost monsoon like. And yes, I've discovered that the dry air does make a difference to the way the temperature feels because man, 100 degrees with 30% humidity is not cool (hah hah).

Oh how charming, the LVMPD are running another manhunt with their helicopters in my neighborhood.

Only 165 days until my lease is up here.

*sigh*

Edit: Holy shit, they are looking in my apartment complex!
