In my room I don't have a window. I have these double French doors that have pull-out screens. This is usually fine, except the screen ISN'T SCREENING. I just had to deal with a bee! In my room! A bee! I hate bees. Buzzy little fuckers always trying to sting you. Also, that whole "if you don't bother them, they won't bother you" line is clearly ( Read more... )

We haven't gotten a reverse 911 call requiring us to leave, but we're going to be heading out anyway.

I'm swinging between optimism and panic at the moment, which is less than fun. The fire is headed towards the coast and it seems like it will stay north of us, but there's no way to know. The Santa Ana winds are VICIOUS right now, and not expected ( Read more... )

Feeling less good. We probably should leave soon. It seems like most of our neighbors have gone. I don't know what traffic will be like. The freeways are open at least. I want to grab more stuff. They keep showing homes burning. I've already taken a lot of pictures, letters and things like that. My harddrives from my PC. There's plenty of stuff I' ( Read more... )

Ok, home still unburnt- excellent ( Read more... )

Giant bean bags are incredibly comfortable to sleep/pass out on. Mmm, giant bean bag. I really want one for my apartment now. It's quite possibly more awesome than the papasan chair, although I doubt I'd get one in leopard print ( Read more... )

We've found an apartment! I'm wicked excited. It's actually in Tanya's old complex, which is nicely a block from the Coffee Bean and two blocks from Borders. It's a 2bd/2bth for $2125. My last place was $2200, and the only other place we found for rent right now was $2300. That one was closer to the UCLA shuttle stop, but the microwave handle was ( Read more... )

I'm alone in my practically empty apartment... I *think* some of my roommates are coming back. They've all got their furniture out and I've still got everything left to move... *sigh* Emptying places out is always vaguely depressing ( Read more... )

Whee! Weekend... I went home, even though I totally shouldn't have, because I have a ton of stuff to do, and now I am continuing to not do stuff by writing about the weekend of wasted time in livejournal. Anyway.

On Saturday I saw X3 with Stephen. I ( have thoughts on X3 )

Oh, stressI'm not really sure what to do to deal with it... so I'm typing. But not any of my papers. Have to go back to campus soon to talk to a professor, about a paper and once again I'm not wholly sure what to say ( Read more... )

You know how really stupid, menial tasks can be addicting? And you're just like, "God this is so DUMB! Why can't I stop?" That's totally how my job is. I sit there and listen to music and scan books/reports into pdf files. It's like the easiest job ever. And I make me a whole $9 (or possibly $10) an hour! And it's a perfect outlet for my weird ( Read more... )
