So, holiday weekends. Generally not meant to be made of stress. AND YET.

Mike came over Friday night as per usual, and there was snuggling and video games, and that was fabulous. Also some horribly awkward and uneasy conversations, the upshot of which is shiny (I think) but omg not fun to do.

Saturday, we acquired a wrenbow and went down to the ( Read more... )

Somehow I keep forgetting to update.

Net result of computer reformatting: super successful. Also, thanks to adamjury for the Pidgin rec; I love it ( Read more... )

No, I'm serious. Why is such a large portion of the American population shocked and surprised?

America has, for quite some time, been building up a culture of debt. My father gave me a Washington Post article on the matter about five years ago, when I was a senior in college. (It was hilarious timing, as I had spent the entirety of that ( Read more... )

Work is trying to kill me. 6 hours of overtime in the last 4 days. *falls over* Actually I think more than that, but I don't remember how much I worked last Wednesday. So it might be more. Another hour tomorrow, another on Thursday...well, at least it'll cover my first car payment ( Read more... )

I'm kind of in the middle of a panic attack, and it's mostly money-related. I mean, intellectually, I know what the car costs me, but I added it all up in Excel (curse my fluency with spreadsheets) and I'm basically having a total panic attack at the money situation.

Blah. Thanks to the stupid car costing me $1000 in the past month, I can't even get a permanent account now. I HATE EVERYTHING ARGH.

(Please forgive my moment of LJ emo whining. I'm just...really disappointed. Dammit.)

So apparently we should be welcoming our robot overlords to the freeways. Regardless of AI failures, they've gotta be better than some drivers I've run into!

In other news, I was ridiculously sick yesterday. I had gone to meet pooka_madness for lunch at Flat Top, and was distinctly not-hungry, so I picked at my food and eventually ended up heading over to rage_goblin's ( Read more... )

Checked my spreadsheet today. I am finally done paying back my Dad for the fuel pump on my car, which died last February. The head gasket should be paid off, assuming current payment schedule, in October. I'll be done paying Mom back for the alternator in July. In August I'll be able to start putting $50 a month toward paying off the ( Read more... )
