We're having the vents and the furnace cleaned at the house today. While cleaning out the vent in my room the cleaner guy found an old telephone receiver in there. I just... What??? I don't even know how that would have happened. I mean, there's a cover on there. There's been a cover on there as long as I've lived here. It definitely wasn't ( Read more... )

Things I could have really done without today: Snow. Yeah it keeps oscillating between snow and rain up on campus. Everyone keeps saying how it will warm up and just start raining later, but I have this awful feeling that instead of getting better it's going to get worse. Which is fine as long as it doesn't get so bad that I can't get home. ( Read more... )

I think I finally figured out why my friend Sinead bugs me sometimes. We went out for dinner last night and it just kind of hit me while we were talking. When she's made up her mind on something, when she has an opinion on politics, or food, or hockey, or anything else it's always the right one. At least in her mind. She states these opinions ( Read more... )

My roommate just texted me asking where the key to the car is. It's in my pocket because after a month of asking me if she could use the car, she's back to just taking it whenever she wants. So I took it with me after I grabbed my umbrella out of it before heading to Starbucks this morning. Slightly passive aggressive and vindictive? Maybe. But ( Read more... )

So apparently the PoliSci department at my university is a complete mess right now. Which is fucking wonderful since that happens to be my department and I have to continue to deal with them for the next three semesters. Fuck. No one is sure which professors will still be around next fall. Which is when I would be asking them for reference ( Read more... )

So I tried to chop my thumb off tonight. Not on purpose or anything, but yeah. Apparently getting complacent while hacking up a pumpkin is a bad idea. Who knew? The cut's not actually that bad. Only bled through one band-aid and looking at it it's not deep enough to be needing stitches. Stung like a motherfucker though. And made my hands ( Read more... )

I am still sick. The nice easy to deal with head cold I thought I had has now turned into this monster chest cold accompanied by a cough that sounds like I've been smoking two packs a day for twenty years. Fun. Especially because Pali's birthday is this weekend. Fucker ( Read more... )

I swear to god my lack of sleep is starting to effect my sense of taste. Either that or my taste buds are screwed up for another reason. Because right now? My coffee totally tastes a little bit like hot wings. Not kidding. It's weird. It would be off-putting as well, but I am so tired right now that it really doesn't matter because I need the ( Read more... )

So I just about had a heart attack just now. I was out on the deck having a smoke and all of a sudden a fucking raccoon walks up the steps onto the deck. Just as calm as you please wandered up there and stared at me. He didn't even run away when I screamed and jumped (I'm not even ashamed of that) he just ducked down the stairs and waited until ( Read more... )
