The deal is, I've been up to so much stuff lately (and trying to go to bed a bit earlier) that I haven't been spending as much time in front of the computer at home. I keep up with fi-uh and FB on my phone, but LJ's a little more difficult on a mobile platform. But I do love LJ, even if it's less populous than it once was. If nothing else, it's a ( Read more... )

So, two weeks ago, I went to the doctor, got antibiotics, and started feeling better. And I needed to! I engaged in Extreme Tooling at work on account of a big project. I went to the office on Saturday and from there, went straight to Cinematic TitanicThis was basically most of the original cast of MST3K doing their thing in front of a live ( Read more... )

As is often the case, the two previous weekends were sufficiently eventful that I didn't find the time to write about them.

Two Fridays ago, I found myself wanting to get out and about where people were. I picked up a copy of the Shepherd Express to see what was up and found out that it was Gallery Night. We'd been vaguely meaning to attend a ( Read more... )

Let's see how this week went:

- I have 3 projects (big, medium, and small) going on at work.

...is that I've been trying to be a Responsible Homeowner ( Read more... )

...I'd been able to get those trees removed already (still waiting for the power company to do it's bit before we can proceed - but I'm don't want it done while I'm out of town so it's going to be another week at least unless I hit some really good luck and it's done on Tuesday) because it's been storming like a mo'fo on and off all day. It's ( Read more... )

There have been unusually loud and persistent noises coming from the guts of the house this evening, so I poked around in the basement and realized it was the sump pump. However, no water was coming out of the hose. So, around midnight I threw my coat on over my bathrobe and checked it out. Sure enough, the hose was filled with ice ( Read more... )

The contractor came by this morning.

He didn't have a lot of time, so he couldn't identify exactly where the leak was coming from, but we did establish that a leak was happening around the chimney, and that there was a plausible path from the chimney to our bedroom. He did some temporary patching around the chimney for free. I have no idea if it ( Read more... )
