Oh gawd oh gawd oh gawd. On the one hand consumers seem to be unaffected (for now!) but that's my checking account and my mother's mortgage which is now magically the property of another bank.

Hilariously, I'm glad it's not BoA because I hate those fuckers. STILL. OH GAWD OH GAWD...

ETA: Distractions! Hilariously there was a sorta-BoB/Life/ ( Read more... )

I need to stop reading the economic debate threads on Fark because all they do is depress the living shit out of me.

I'm watching History Channel and they mentioned a saloon in San Fran surviving prohibition by becoming a restaurant, yeah? "They served oysters and clams." My reaction was an involuntary "Oh..."-type groan of desire ( Read more... )

So I went for the recruitment thing with the calet service yesterday. They were only gonna pay $8.50 an hour so I bounced out from that. Even with tips that's a full-time eprmanent gig and it'd look bad when I dropped it. 4 srsly ( Read more... )

Now I'm officially pissed off at this price-of-gas thing. I try going on a "beer" run for some Smirnoff Triple Black (lemon-lime flavour, mmmm-wa!) and 7-11 comes up empty. I don't bother checking the prices ebcause all they ahve to offer is watermelon-flavoured, so I get my littery tickets for tomorrow night and bang on down to the BP up the road ( Read more... )

Okay.... I put dress shoes in my big suitecase. I also dragged out my big zip-up boots which I understand will be not particularly effective against insurgency snow, but they'll do. I'll probably continue to live in the same jeans and tank top I have the last couple days and pack the jeans/t-shirts I will be bringing in the smaller suitcase along ( Read more... )

SO I got up at 7:45 this morning to help Mom do a yard sale. It was just as much fun as you cna imagine. Biggest seller? My hoarde of Gasparilla beads. Of course as they were going through them I had to rescue several of my old favorites. What the hell I'll do with them, I've no idea. We made about $50, which Mom split with me. We may be doing it ( Read more... )

So, you're strapped for cash due to having no job and unemployment dicking you around. You've been following your parents around for weeks, becoming increasingly sullen and unlivewithable. You've still got bills to pay and a life to live, of a sort, but you've got no income. What do you do. WHAT DO YOU DO ( Read more... )

$83 later my AC is still borken. Well, it's not broken but if I run it the compressor might blow up. Hrm, why do I feel like I've heard that before? It'l be another $160 to fix the other problem. Shiznit. I'll just transfer funds form savings to checking and kill it next week ( Read more... )

Discussion from last night:

Dad: Oh, I accidently opened a piece of mail from UT that was addressed to you ( Read more... )
