Man, sometimes I wish I still watched Doctor Who and then, some weeks I am very glad I do not. How do you explain away that?

So, Irene got us here outside Philly, knocking down a tree in our neighborhood and blowing up a transformer. We all heard it around 10:30 Saturday, right after a tornado warning came on the TV. We had been watching Sense and ( Read more... )

To get to my laptop's heatsink you have to take it completely apart  - take off the keyboard, palm rest, screen, it's a huge hassle. So, I had a computer tech I met at work to do it, though it pained me to do so (in the wallet, mostly). He updated iTunes, which I had purposefully failed to update as I don't like the new interface. I'm giving it a ( Read more... )

 One of our cats grabbed a baby bunny and brought it in to us and we quickly freed it. Freed it a little too well as it got away from my brother and ran into a small hole in the drywall. It wouldn't come out, naturally, as it could smell the cats (as well as the curious dog) and we began to fear that it would die behind the wall. My brother camped ( Read more... )

 
New Year's Eve got a little uncomfortable at home, so my sister and I celebrated my birthday early Friday night (she had to work on Monday, anyway). We went to this Japanese restaurant, Shogun, in Havertown, around 9p. Oddly enough, they weren't open till midnight, which was just "What??", but anyway. Got some chicken udon, which I did not like, ( Read more... )

If Christmas is quiet, it's a success here; it was about half and half this year =\ My sister got a Kindle at her office Xmas party and didn't want it, so I was the lucky beneficiary of her dick boss's largess (seriously, he's a prick). The only thing better than a Kindle is a free Kindle, so I've spent the last week or so grabbing up free e-books ( Read more... )

     Last Thursday, there was a powerful store that lasted all of 30 minutes, knocking out our power for 2 days >=(
We were oh so lucky /sarcasm to lose not only our power but our water as well, seeing as how we have a well pump. It was awful, especially as that was the beginning of my brief break before Summer Session II classes began. No internet ( Read more... )

My sister and I went out to the Mexican Post restaurant in Center City Thursday night, all spur of the moment, and we had a great time - bit too great of a time in her case (-_-;;) Still, awesome. Never had - or wanted - a cheesecake burrito before, but it was pretty good, and the fried ice cream didn't disgust me totally (it being ice cream, after ( Read more... )

時々私のネットの姿はここから消えてしまうかな。 ごめん。(Trying to say I disappear from here from time to time, and that I apologize. Practice is as practice does; 6 days till next Japanese class. Yay! for long and tiring winter break.)

Since I'm behind on too many things (namely, Doctor Who), I've gone underground again. I was spoiled for TW: CoE last time, and while that ( Read more... )

Doing this from my tablet 'cause my wrist prefers it. Really should have tried this sooner.

Anyway. Auctioneering is distracting and time-consuming, I'll tell ya. I have so many boxes right now =/ Least the post office is close. Really should try. out their pick-up service one of these days.

Work is good, helping one of my bosses with her tenure ( Read more... )
