On Thursday I toook my roommate's mattress out of my  apartment.  Actually, this wass my ex's mattress, a queen-sized handover from two other friends. As soon as they hauled it in here,  it became the only thing that could fit in my room and II could feel my karma change. Shortly after, we stopped sleeping together, and I could feel the ( Read more... )

Fade in FALL Userpic with pulll-out shot of the local rooftops, PULL BACK through the Homoffiis window, find ABBY and ADRIENE fondling each otherr.
The phone rings.

ABBY (v/o):
Things haven't been so bad up here, except:

Catman  called yesterday asking me to bring his house money over to the nursing home in the Bronx. Litle did I know what an awful journey awaited me.

Friday, Catman called and said he was being transferred from Mr. Sinai hospital to a rehab facility somewhere in the Bonx. He suffered a heart attack last month.  He wanted me to bring him his cash cache and promised rent & Prescription reimbursements.

Ce matin: I found the proper password for Sadie Quatre and she seems to be back to normal.

(neep) I'd spent the last week watching TV on-ine, and received a "Plug-in Failure" for Eyewitness News, France24.com and anything past teh first five minutes of CBSN. Only You Tube and CPAC transmited faithfully to me.  Upgrading Adobe Flash Player early did me no good ( Read more... )

When my roommate vanished into the night the other Friday, I figured it was just another complication of his diabetes or his kidney problem and I'd see him in a couple of days. Then I started to get a little worried when a couple of days turned into a couple of weeks without a call. Thoughts strayed toward the worst-case scenario. Turns out, he had ( Read more... )

#YalDawo: cough: Sônefss'a
I discovered recently that in Yal Dawo, a noun's ending switches from 'a for a simple noun to 'ä for an Honourative noun. INtersting that this bit of language trivia was what goaded me to post today.

I came back home yesterday afternoon to a pall of bug spray, thanks to Catman. I immediately started coughing and it's ( Read more... )

As feared and predicted, my pretty good first half of 2013 is balancing out with a relatively empty second half. I've managed two months of time to myself during a downright pleasant summer, and then I bought the Mobile after wasting time & money on Z-Biddy.com, though I didn't manage the planned iPad®,and I had a better Fall than I thought I'd get ( Read more... )

Two pains in the same area are not a good thing. I was kept housebound by a UTI + groin pull. The former was exacerbated by the later. Add a recovering roommate trying to shower or urinate w/ a plastic bag on his foot. Not the most pleasant of times.

Let's face it. Everything from the waist down is kaput!
