Completely random: I am trying to find a Jolly Roger T-shirt by Friday morning. Your standard skull&crossbones, yarrr me mateys sort of design, no text, just the damn pirate flag on a stupid T-shirt. I found one I really liked online and ordered it two weeks ago...and near as I can tell, it hasn't even shipped yet. So now I'm almost out of time. I ( Read more... )

First things first: my new!roommate made me and our other!roommate Easter baskets filled with chocolatey goodness. Reason #178649 why new!roommate is a bajillion times better than the psychotic ex!roommate ( Read more... )

Today is my full day off this week, thank god. I opened a show over the weekend, which is great because it means TECH IS OVER, THANK CHRIST. I celebrated after the shows yesterday by taking myself out to the movies. Saw Zero Dark Thirty, which was quite good and very tense. Although I become completely distracted by the unexpected Captain Jack ( Read more... )

After spending an hour and a half futzing around, I have come to the conclusion that I am completely stupid when it comes to Tumblr. Everything about what that site is and how it functions is completely counterintuitive to the way my brain processes information. UGH. I like the pretty pictures! I just can't figure out how to do anything with the ( Read more... )

So my parents were in town last night, and they stayed at my place. This morning, after I'd left for work, my mother used my laptop to google my office location so that they could meet me for lunch. I had 20+ different tabs open, mostly fics I'd seen linked someplace and wanted to read but hadn't had time for yet, accumulated over several weeks(/ ( Read more... )

Well, it's 2011. Guys, I still have to pause to remember it's not 2009, this is going to be hard for me. ANYWAY. Spent the New Year hanging out with tricksterquinn and drinking champagne and forcing her to watch some A:tLA and making her listen to me blather for freaking hours about a fic I'm failing to write, so that was a pretty nifty way to start off a year ( Read more... )

Stupid power outages. This is the second one this evening - the first lasted from about 5:15 to 6:45, and was caused by NOTHING whatsoever and interrupted me in the middle of an episode of True Blood. And then the storm started, so here we are all of an hour after the power came back with... No power. And cut Sam Merlotte off midsentence, which is ( Read more... )

It is time. My dinky little Nokia cell phone is nearly five years old, and the AT&T bill I get for it every month is just too damn high to justify its abject lack of features like, say, e-mail or a camera or ANYTHING. I need to upgrade ( Read more... )

You know, I'd be reasonably content with my life these days if it weren't for the fact that I've had a headache since Friday morningSeriously. Occasional headaches are the stuff of life, and I tend to ignore them (when they aren't migraines, which this very much isn't), but after four fucking days, it starts to wear me down a bit. Extra-strength ( Read more... )

Oh, TV Tropes. You go there to check out one amusing reference and suddenly five hours have passed and you've got twelve different tabs open. That site really defines an internet hangover.
