It is sad to realzie how much some stuff is different. I read dialogues in somebody's entry about a year ago and realize that I could have heard a similar dialogue at a certain pointin time, in a certain company of people. But that company of people is not there anymore, and what might have been it, has changed. And I am not sure dislike the ( Read more... )

I'd hate to be stuck near Pittsburg, because the rebel forces are nearing Washington. Since California fell a few years ago, I doubt Pennsylvania will have long to live after the fall of the capital. If you are there,I advise you to mmigrate to Canada at once. Don't forget to stop by here though. We have food! And lemons! Lots of lemons! Besides, ( Read more... )

My Electronic Pencil Sharpener broke. Once upon a time when I had a lot of pencil sharpeners. Then they slowly got lost and eventualy I had only one- a large elctric one. It was beautiful, in that strange way where love for the use of some strange and ugly inanimate object makes it insanely cool. And now, it is dead. Completly. Not even Mostly Dead ( Read more... )

I figured I would note that I was very pleasantly surprised by Tad Williams's War Of the Flowers book. Yes he also wrote Otherland, the 4000 page or so series that I almost finished in 2 weeks [then I read a page a day for 3 weeks because CTY is not conductive to 1-person activities. Ha.] But I didn't really like Otherland. Well, no I did. I just ( Read more... )

Surprise me and do this . You know you want to.

The Stamford Public Schools Website is NOT supposed to go down the day before we have 5 inches of snow. Well, supposedly. Do we have school tomorrow? Do we dowe? Do I cook brownies for a bake sale now, mourning or not at all? Do I go berzerk? Do I visit Mazullo, the superintendent and threaten him with a Sailor Moon marathon to make him cancel ( Read more... )

Over the past few days, I have come to the conclusion that parents are like the Greeks. Never trust the nice tone. It means that you will be yelled at later. On the other hand, my rooom is now clean, with the exeption of a giant heap of garbage in the middle of it. But at least it is known garbage. And I need a bookshelf, because apprently there is ( Read more... )

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!! You were about to have a sentence about my lack of computer usage and curses on grandmother who is at the root of it. It isn't her fault, but my vacation felt slightly ruined. But I just found out that my great-dranmother has a fever, which is realy BAD given her age&health. So, I am kinfd of worried and not up to ( Read more... )

So, today after SW came home, I went to turn on the nice electronic pot thingie and boil some water for tea. Nothing unusual so far - press a button, see the little red light. Turning aorund, I see the cat is playing with something grey. In fact, something grey and furry and looking like no toy ofhi I saw before ( Read more... )

Hm. A few hours and nose drops later, I feel better and am no longer dying of a cold. Supper might have helped, but I was OK before that, really. In any case, assuming that this is not the calm before the storm and I do not suddenly develop a fevre tomorrow mourning, I shall be in school on my bithday. This is quite rejoyfull actually, because the ( Read more... )
