we moved over a year ago. the few things i needed to do an address update with could either be done online or via a form on the back of a bill or something. except for one of the credit unions i have an account with. no form on the back of the bill, no online method of updating, no phone either. for them, you have to write a letter or do it in ( Read more... )

well, i was posty this week so i guess i don't really need to do a weekend update like i had been doing the past few weeks. still, just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the comments of support over the past few days. it meant and still means a lot ( Read more... )

last night as i was finally falling asleep, a kitty commotion woke me up. tam chasing puck, pretty normal. i could hear that puck ended up under the bed. then i heard weird noises that sounded like she had a claw stuck in something and was trying to wrestle it free. got up and looked and her front right paw was dangling ( Read more... )

work work work work work work work. new chief information officer + umpteen hundred new programs starting up + all the usual stuff has lead to the resurgence of working on the weekend. sad but true. not so strangely, it is kind of nice to be able to focus on things without the distractions of new cow-orkers (another one starting monday), demos ( ( Read more... )

loudtwitter appears to be not working anymore. though it works for some other people. i used openid; maybe it's working for other protocols. ah well, no big deal. i don't often say much that's worth reading anyway! ;) i'm sure all of you are crushed ( Read more... )

smoemeth is off again so that probably heralds a period of postiness for me. perhaps. she's actually only gone until very late tonight but then disappears again early in the week and will be gone nearly all of the rest of the month (except my birfday!) and the first half of august. what ever will i do with myself ( Read more... )

long weekend has begun! well, aside from the bit of work that must done each saturday morning, of course. but even so, i'll take a monday off.

unlike nearly everyone else in the office, i hung around until normal leaving time. figured i might as well get something done instead of idle on the highway with the rest of the jump-the-gun crowd. of ( Read more... )

tonight's choices for entertainment:

1. laura veirs at the bowery ballroom
2. susan mckeown somewhere in astoria
3. trina hamlin at the thataway cafe in stamford
4. collapsing on the couch with the celtics

what to do, what to do...

after dropping smoemeth off at the train station on saturday morning, i drove up to my parents' for the mother's day weekend. had a good visit with the folks that, in addition to the visit itself, featured weeding, speidies, two beers, ice cream cones, high fives and fist pumps with my youngest nephew, mowing the lawn, cutting down hedges, brunch, grilled ( Read more... )

puck woke me up this morning around 5 as usual for her morning feeding. she turned her nose up at the wet food so i got up again a few minutes later to give her some crunchy tartar treats. not sure what their nutritional value is but she eats they and i think they are helping to keep her teeth clean. went back to bed and was restless but finally ( Read more... )
