► When Dad arrived at the apartment yesterday to pick me up, I handed him his Columbo DVD sets. I had borrowed them early in the winter and have had them since then because of all the packing and space issues as Dad and Clare moved to their new condo. Dad looked at the bag with the DVDs for a minute or two then handed them back to me. "Keep them ( Read more... )

► There was a bit of a surprise waiting for us when Dad drove me back to the apartment after shopping. My apartment building is at the end of a dead end avenue, and access was blocked off my several water department trucks blocking the street as workers had torn up the yard at the corner and were pumping water out of some huge pipe. Dad ended up ( Read more... )

► Early this morning I discovered why the apartment has been so stiflingly hot and muggy the past few days despite the air conditioner having been on all this time. It turns out that when the air conditioner was turned on on Thursday and readjusted, the dial for function setting didn't properly click over from high fan to high cold. It was just ( Read more... )

► I thought it was amusing this morning when Jehovah's Witnesses buzzed the apartment wanting to talk to me about angels while I was watching a TV show about witches (Bewitched). I didn't tell them that.

► Yesterday I found the generic cream soda I bought too sickly sweet. Dean suggested that maybe it'd taste better in a glass than in the can ( Read more... )

► I took the garbage outside this morning and it's actually not too bad out right now (we're currently in a heat wave). Not too bad outside, cause inside the apartment it's sweltering. There's a slight breeze but it's coming from the North and we don't have any windows facing that direction. The cat seems fine and I keep checking his water dish ( Read more... )

► Yeah, she's off until the middle of next week. Big fucking shock ( Read more... )

► Yesterday I went to Dad's place for dinner (barbequed hamburgers and hotdogs again, I can't get enough of that) and had a nice time. Dad and I played a round of Scrabble before my brother and sister-in-law arrived (the four of us then played another round). Claire (Dad's girlfriend) was out of town visiting her sister so it was just the 4 of ( Read more... )

► I'm confused. I'm pleased, but I'm also confused. Today I received 3 of the Ebay Auctions I bought and have been waiting for. At 8:05am I opened my front door to find the package for my Black Canary drawing leaning against the door frame ( Read more... )

► I'm watching The Muppet Show: Season 1 and I'm amazed at how much I don't remember from the first season. For example, the different opening (the theme is the same, but the stage is different). The biggest surprise, however, is how different most of the famous Muppets' voices are from what they would eventually be the next year, and forever ( Read more... )

► I've long suspected I'm falling apart, but it seems to be worse lately. For the past several days I've had a weird tingling ache in the muscles on the left side of my back. They feel perpetually tensed. In addition to that last night after waking up from a nap I found I have some sore cankers far back on my tongue. Hopefully both problems ( Read more... )
