Okay then. So, I've been absent a bit the past couple weeks, and here's why... Getting a house into shape is a bit of a pain, and working while doing so isn't helping. And doing that while they futz with your days off, get you into a teaching slot in a class, and generally have a holiday... that's a bit of a bit more of a pain. I have to note also ( Read more... )

Huzzah! Cox has just left, and I now have cable, internet, and a phone. And a DVR, because I sleep during all the good programming ( Read more... )

Who knew that cleaning gutters and caulking windows had such a fulfilling aspect?

I mean, c'mon, there were 3 or 4 freaking earth worms in the gutters that glowed neon *GREEN*.

Still on track. 7 days until I am once more menacing the internet, and slaying the alliance cads, marching to 60.

I am not happy.

There will be blood tonight!!
(there's a vampire game, silly)

going to the rave at 2030 to see Clerks 2. Woo!
excitement.

Had a long phone conversation with ivyriver today. I think it's about the most I've talked to her in over 6 months, since she's been in. It was good. Lots of talking, hearing about her weekend, talking about stuff. Some things I'm still having float around in my head, but nothing I plan on ( Read more... )
