what i wouldn't do for a turkey curry buffet and a Mark Darcy right now
Okay, I have about ten minutes before the LED settings on this computer make my eyeballs start bleeding, so I am going to write fast and look at the computer as much as possible.
We are now in Wisconsin! Wooooo! Where my evil grandmother lives! ...um. Yeah.
I'm trying to be very zen and ~mentally in Hawaii~ about everything, with varying degrees of success. This morning when she had me take down the nativity scene I'd spent an hour putting up (it's a bit of a mismatched set, i.e. we have 3 baby Jesuses (Jesi?), 4 Maries, 21 wise men, and approximately a billion camels. And an elephant) because I hadn't put down the special white felt cloth with bobbles on it first. I was cool! Not a complaint either when she dragged me to Trader Joe's and was rudely mean to just about every worker in the joint. Nooo.
And she was genuinely trying to be helpful today when she called the AT&T support line to try and figure out the security key to her wi-fi for me. She was. However. It's a computer animated service. It isn't going to understand what you're saying when it asks, "Is that correct?" and you say, "That's right, very good."
But that's the other thing. I have fought tooth and nail trying to get wifi on my laptop today, and so far it isn't happening. And yes I can use this huge behemoth but I swear to god the screen is actually flickering in a barely perceptible fashion and I'm tired and it's the city and this place has a Trader Joe's because everyone is organically a size zero and they squabble with each other over the right kind of soy rice chips to buy while wearing their designer fake fur knee-high boots and THERE'S NO SNOW, NOT REALLY, IT SORT OF SPRINKLED LAST NIGHT BUT NOW IT'S GONE, and I am just. Very very tired.
The one cool thing that happened today was, uh, well. We were going to go out and pick a Christmas tree from a lot, which I've never done before, but it turned out this morning a neighbor down the street put their Christmas tree on the sidewalk for the dumpster because...I guess they were going out of town and wanted it gone before they left? I have no fucking clue. Anyway, Grandpa spotted it, nabbed it, and now we have a massive freaking tree and it's awesome. I approve of this tree and its origins. This is a very Alaskan spirited tree. Now if the evil grandma would kindly stop complaining about how much smaller she wanted it to be, everything would be hunky dory on that front.
Also, I see that LJ has been possessed by demons just in time for the holidays, because why not fix all the things that aren't broken. When I checked immediately after posting a few days back (just to see if I was losing my mind) it looked like there were some people who were trying to fix it? How's that going?
And how are your holidays, bbs? Can I go home yet? *crashes and burns*
