Yes, wouldn't you know it, another scary bus experience has driven me back into the arms of LJ. I just have too much to bitch about for it all to fit in a Facebook update.

So I hop on the bus to work this morning. I recognize the driver. I don't have the same driver every day, but I remember this one because I noticed in the past that she only talks ( Read more... )

Sorry. If you're squicked by goth gurl crushes, you better run ( Read more... )

Just sick for the better part of six weeks. I'd get over one thing, then one of the boys would bring another variety of plague home, and I'd catch that. I even had the swine flu! Actually, it was no big whoop. A nasty and unpleasant flu, with fever, chills, body aches, and all that happy shit. But I've definitely had worse. The boys were vaccinated ( Read more... )

Sorry for the silence. Things have been batshit-crazy at work. And at home ( Read more... )

So Daniel and I stay up too late a lot. With me, it's chronic insomnia. With him, it's natural nocturnalism. Anyway, when you stay up late and watch TV, you see a lot of ads for 1-900 chat lines. You know, the ones where guys are supposed to call up and pay five bucks a minute to talk to "hot young girls."

They ran one ad over and over again. Some ( Read more... )

Yeah, I know it was almost a month ago. I'm slow. What can I say, I'm a zombie.

The zombie walk was really, really fun! Orion and I went. (The crowds were too big for Fenris.) We were both decked out as zombies, of course. He was a zombie lumberjack and I was a half-zombified FEMA employee. We had a great time. It took over an hour for us to get ( Read more... )

I was home sick today (nasty stomach bug) so to make myself feel better, I looked at puppy pictures on petfinder.com. Not that I'm planning to adopt another dog--we really can't afford to. But I love browsing.

So I saw this totally adorable pit bull puppy and clicked on her to see bigger picture. I saw that she was being adopted out by a rescue ( Read more... )

I don't think these guys should have been fired.

Seriously, what's a little bit of pee going to do to Old Faithful? It's not like it's going to compromise the water supply for the western world or anything. And hey, if I had a penis, I'd probably want to pee on all sorts of things. Why not? I see the unmitigated joy on my younger son's face as he ( Read more... )

I've been watching Driver's Ed movies for the past hour. You remember them, right? The low-budget gorefests put out by the CHP? The ones they made you watch when you were just fifteen, right before you got into the completely ridiculous driving simulator?

And why, you might ask, would I want to watch something like that. Well, it all started when I ( Read more... )

I'm not opposed to making a little money. I've sold ads on my website before. Usually tattoo equipment ads, interestingly enough. So when someone from a UK company contacted me with a request to buy a small text-based ad, I was open to the idea. They wanted to put it on Annabel's restoration page, so I figured they were probably a car-related ( Read more... )
