Sunday night, we got hit by a rather epic storm, one that produced multiple tornados - no here, fortunately, but we got high winds that brought down trees, crashed cars, and were responsible for at least one death, when someone went outside and had debris blown into him ( Read more... )

Uck.  Meant to have this up here on Halloween.  Clearly, I failed.

After some time poking around in Norse mythology and all its fucked-upness (thanks to seeing Thor a few too many times) I have come to a conclusion:

There aren't enough Vikings in Doctor Who.

Or dinosaurs, for that matter.  But that doesn't quite fit with this post.

I’ve had an epiphany.

I’m sure it’s been painfully obvious that this series of Doctor Who hasn’t appealed to me for some reason or other, and that I seem to be unusually harsh on it. This is a reaction that has confused me quite a bit because in the past, I’ve endured worse without complaint (I’m looking at you, Virgin New Adventures.) I’m usually ( Read more... )

I'm still furious at BBC America for putting us behind the UK by a week, but maybe this wasn't an entirely bad thing, in my case; I'm still suffering from allergies and all the environmental factors that make my misery worse (like dust, which is evil) and I ended up being asleep by 9:30 on Saturday.  Damn; I'd wanted to watch 'The Rebel Flesh/The ( Read more... )

Somehow, over the last few years, I managed to forget a big part of why country life doesn't agree with me.

Pollen allergies.

(And also, ticks.  But this post is about allergies.)

We had an absolutely gorgeous day Wednesday - the temperature was in the high-70's/low-80's, and there was a strong breeze that kept things cool.  Unfortunately, that breeze ( Read more... )

First off, a bit of celebration: I just paid off one of my credit cards today, and as soon as the bill for my other one comes in, I’ll have that one paid off as well, which will leave me with just two manageable monthly bills! *does happy dance* It galls me that I’m paying it off with unemployment money rather than something I earned by working, ( Read more... )

Watch out.  It's late, and it's been a bit since I had a good night's sleep.  I may be a bit punch-drunk.

A few days ago, I went to see Thor again, this time in 3D because the local theater loves to make us pay more by cutting down the 2D showings over time.   And don't get me started on their refreshments...

I wasn't too surprised by my somewhat ( Read more... )

I'm finally going to see "The Almost People."  It's taking a couple of hours to download, but that's better than the library's 99+ hours to acquire.  Still, I really miss my apartment's high speed internet; even though I'd gone for the cheapest internet package, it was still faster than anything I've found around here.  But, anyway ( Read more... )
