So my friend Mike Boyce just wrote a children's book about homelessness for his BFA thesis, and is trying to raise money to get it published and into San Francisco schools. Economy of scale means that he needs a minimum number of orders to make it feasible to have it printed and bound.

I'll just quote him, because his own words say it best:

So first Carrie Fisher, now Debbie Reynolds. Haven't we had to deal with enough?

I'm really hoping that this is the last major bad news we get this year, because I'm not sure that I can deal with much more of this crap.

something from the UK at just after midnight on a Sunday, my time, is that it's already after eight on Monday morning there. So they're already working on processing my order and shipping it out same day, and it will get to me that much faster.

Ah, physics, you make shopping for my holiday outfits that much easier.

And I haven't had much sleep. I just wasn't tired. Then. Of course, now I'm ready for a solid 8 hours, but I must be getting on with things like I'm actually a normal human being.

I don't really feel like putting on pants, either. Do you think people would mind?

Eh, it's cold outside. Must cover up, then.

I went to the Physical Therapist last Monday and got the okay to start doing some actual work again, which made me extremely happy. I've been going nuts doing nothing all the time. I need to see how my neck and shoulder are healing, so actual work will be a good measuring stick by which to mark my progress ( Read more... )

I just finished voting. It was an epically long ballot: 2 separate sheets, full on both the front and the back. It took me nearly an hour to actually finish the thing, but I did vote in every contest and on every measure and proposition on the ballot. Yay, me ( Read more... )

Well, back to school, actually. Not that I had much of a summer break. Between taking 2 classes and working 2 jobs, I can safely say that I have only had about 3 weeks to do anything for myself in. And 1 of those was taken up with moving house ( Read more... )

Rule #1: Tequila is yummy. I mean bad. Yes, very bad. Very, verry bad.

Rule #2: Don't try to put lipstick on while drunk. You'll look like a drunk tried to do your makeup.

Rule #3: Tipsy + credit card = impulse buy. And I don't regret it!!!

Rule # what rule were we on again? Umm... Chocolate! And more tequila!

Insofar as no one got hurt, anyway. We still had to clean up the mess.

Yesterday I braved the downpour and was at the hardware store on a fruitless search for 1-1/2 inch hardwood dowels, when my roommate Z called me. I had just left him at the house about 30 minutes earlier, and roommate A was at work. My first thought was, "Oh, no. The BART ( Read more... )

but I've been stuck with one since Saturday. I was super grody yesterday and stayed home, even though it meant missing 2 studio classes and 6 hours of work-study pay. I did manage to get my paper written, though. The paper that was due today. But wtf ever. I did it. It's done. I will get a grade. At this point I don't even care anymore. I ( Read more... )
