Got to take a roadside sobriety test yesterday. (Spoiler alert: I passed.)

We were coming back from the annual Testicle Festival, where the $3 strong drinks are legendary. I had one large drink, which was about half Malibu, in a commemorative "You've had our nuts, now where's the beaver???" mug. (Classy, y/y?) I made Cheryl drink some of it, and I ( Read more... )

My supe asked me to stay late at work yesterday. They decided to have no outbound today, which is super-rare, so there was more admin work to do than on a usual Friday night. My quittin' time got pushed back from 6pm to 7:15-ish (outbound is done at 9pm). At about 6:15 I realize everything that needs to be done by me can probably be done by 6:30. ( Read more... )

Oh, God. What if I can't retrieve what I have recorded on my Series II?

I joined LJ in December '01. I believe October '10 is the first month ever when I didn't post once. I commented a lot on ONTD, though!

So I'm posting now because I know it was only six days, but that week felt twice as long.

( Speaking of long... (That's what she said.) )

Had a Cheryl Day today. That's when I get a call from Cheryl, usually asking me to go eat with her (she knows my weaknesses), and I end up staying out far later than I planned. The best example of this is when I went out at 2pm to buy sink strainers and ended up at a small party three towns over being held by a co-worker. I think we left around 1am ( Read more... )

Had a very weird dream Wednesday night. I was at a con (Is GenCon a thing? I think that's what it was called.) and was friends with Seth Green. I was hanging out with RL friends, sitting on very short bleachers and watching videos on a big display. The bleacher next to us was occupied by Barack Obama, GHW Bush, and Nelson Mandela. I was distracted ( Read more... )

Six years ago today, at the arrested development-y age of 23, I moved out of my parents house. I still live in the apartment I moved into, and I started temping at my current employer that October. (Psst. I do not like change ( Read more... )

Okay, so. I haven't done a real entry in like...three years awhile.

I totally have this song in my head. All the time. I uploaded it in case you want a copy of your own. To become obsessed with. Whoops, wasn't supposed to say that part.

( Mmmm, food. )

To echo half my flist, damn, it's cold out. I didn't go anywhere Sunday as it was snowing all day. I did, though, start Giles (my car) last night around 11:30 to wake him up, and he started okay. I started it again this morning at 11, still started ( Read more... )

Went to Duluth yesterday at Sister #2's behest. There's not a lot do to there now, as most of the tourist-y things shut down either at four pm, or in September. We didn't find this out, though, until we got there. At two pm. It also got nighttime dark around 5:15pm. I kept saying "How did it get so late? *checks car clock* Oh, wait, it's only six- ( Read more... )
