(no subject)
Things that have happened lately, which may or may not be of general interest:
+ Mom's heating coil in her car is shot, so she has a loaner, which spares me the necessity of carting her around (thank God). It will, alas, cost $1500 or thereabouts to fix, and the parts probably won't be in until later this week because that's just how those stories go.
+ Mystery of the Missing Paychecks was solved last week. I was going to cash a couple of paychecks (I get paid every week, and last month I was still getting checks for work I'd billed for in July, since we'd agreed that I'd start on 1 August to make it easier to bill). I was going to go to the bank after I got off the phone with Joy, and couldn't find my paychecks (I distinctly remembered they were in my car), and tore the downstairs apart looking for them. Long story short, I had stuffed them in a library book which I then returned (presumably I put them in there so I wouldn't forget about them). The librarians were nice enough to ring me up and let me know.
+ Had dinner with Joy Fri. night. Mmm, red meat and chocolate pie.
+ Went shopping for YA Poo and pulled stupendous haul. It used to be that I couldn't find SVH to save my life and now they're fucking EVERYWHERE. Bitchin'.
+ Did not see The Last Legion, but did have breakfast at Starbucks on Saturday morning and bought a cute owl plushie they had on clearance. (It was reading, and looked appropriately geeky.)
+ Read some stuff.
+ Failed to read some stuff.
+ Have suddenly taken it into my head that because the Maori language exists, it is my sacred obligation to learn it, and that not only would it be cool to go to New Zealand for this purpose, it is obligatory. This will likely blow over, so don't pay too much attention to my wailing on about how horrible it is that I am not filthy stinking rich and can't afford to live in a foreign country with no visible means of support. Also, my bid to marry augustuscaesar, despite improved geographical proximity, would fail. Again. (Note to Tara: CALLICE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BE QUARANTINED. WOULD THAT HELP????)
+ Good luck, dethorats. :D
+ *pets forgottensanity* <--because I love Cat, as all right-thinking people do, even if she doesn't
+ Happy belated birthday to syrahsmile.
+ Speaking of birthdays: jurhael, where is your Amazon wishlist? I thought I had it but now I can't find it. Also, I realize this manner of asking really puts the B into subtle.
+ Holy crap, I just looked at my list. Why were all of you people born in September and October?
+ It is very wrong to link ukekenshin here, but I am going to do it anyway because I am mean, and evil, and mean. Persons with strenuous moral objections to cute should not look.
+ I think that's it, then.
