It's a sad day at the Millvale House. Nick has gone home and Frank nearly picked up and moved out.* Megan and I have decimated a tub of Rocky Road (cliche, but tasty) and bagged clothes for sale at the local thrift store. A little extra income would be nice after the binge-spending that was this past Christmas ( Read more... )

Invisible Roomie is moving out! Apparently she informed our landlord three weeks ago, and we only just found out today. There is something very wrong about that ( Read more... )

My roommate Megan has decided that her 21st birthday party will have a drag theme, which means we're all required to crossdress! She and I ran down to Waterworks today to do some 'manshopping'. Walmart yeilded a confederate cap (to hide my hair), a pack of wifebeaters and two rolls of ace bandages. We think we can we can wing it from there ( Read more... )

I like to consider myself a fairly held-together young woman. I can change a tire, handle minor plumbing issues, strip paint, stain furniture, balance my checkbook without the help of e-checking, move house without actual movers, assemble furniture and some electronics, wrangle problem landlords and keep up an apartment after four other people.

I really want to thank everybody who emailed, called, or pinged me in LJ on my birthday. I was almost overwhelmed by all the assorted messages!

So thanks guys, because it meant a lot to know I crossed your minds (or that someone else reminded you and you ( Read more... )

He managed to rig up an ad-hoc network on Ashley's old harddrive until such time as we can get out to Best Buy and see if they'll let us swap it out. We're unsure about ( Read more... )

eehhh, so sleepy ( Read more... )

A very odd thing happened Saturday night ( Read more... )

The wireless is out at the house again, so I can't promise anything tonight.

It's time to commence Book Sellback '05! I tried to unload eight lit novels just now...and they offered me a grand total of $7. Fuck that. I'm not that desperate for laundry quarters. Odds are good that I'll be out at Half Price Books this weekend anyway. Trevor, do ( Read more... )

Our internet is down. I know nothing about the mysterious workings of wireless connections, but my computer tells me that it can't access the router. I don't suppose anyone out there would know how to fix this? We've unplugged and reset the thing, to no avail. Invisible Roomie's boyfriend, who set us up at the beginning of the year is ( Read more... )
