I don't post here much anymore, do I? I've mostly moved over to tumblr these days for my online interactions. LJ in general seems pretty dead ( Read more... )

I haven't been wanting to think about this (because I love my tiny purple Ford Ranger), but I probably should. My current vehicle is 14 years old and is over 130,000 miles, so it's sort of inevitable that, sooner or later, I will need something new (or newish). The question is, what ( Read more... )

Friends, since this time last year, I have worked about ten weeks total. In case you haven't noticed, the economy sucks right now. There are almost no archaeology jobs in the PNW (my range at the moment is WA, ID and OR). For the past year, since my 3000 mile road trip from VA to WA, I have been scraping by on my savings, a couple of months work in ( Read more... )

Pound hits 26-year US dollar high....As for my British associates, now is a very ( Read more... )

Went and saw Stardust again, this time with libgirl, who is always good fun to spend time with. Appreciated even more this time the appearance of Christopher Eccleston in the Dark is Rising trailer. I am such a fangirl ( Read more... )

For the first time in my life, I am finding that I have more money coming in than going out. Lately, I have been spending more of this money than I should, simply because it's all in my checking account and I have easy access to it. I want to stop doing this, but I want to put the excess money in a place where it can earn the maximum amount of ( Read more... )
