I thought I'd post, since it's been a while. I feel kind of like I'm letting you down, because people tell me how they like my insane links of random randomness, or my lengthy screeds about how I love the US Constitution (the document, not the boat) or how particular politicians deserve to be raped by robot bears. But news is fucking depressing, ( Read more... )

Thriftbooks - This is a used bookstore website, and it is the best way I've found to buy used books online. (Going to actual brick and mortar stores is obviously cheaper and more fun, but I've swept all the stores in this area and I'm looking for particular things, so I feel justified in importing used books from other cities.) Prices vary, but ( Read more... )

This heat sucks balls. It's 98 degrees but it feels much hotter. It was over 100 yesterday. Heat is all well and good when you're relaxing, but running around in a suit in poorly ventilated offices is a Bad Scene.

My weekend was awesome. I hope yours was too! I went to my parents' and spent basically the entire weekend submerged to the brim ( Read more... )

• It's Friday!
  
• My fridge is full of cheeses and my freezer is full of frozen lemonade sticks!
  
• The new issue of my Egyptology nerd magazine came!
  
• I am awash in books! (Seriously, I think I need another bookcase up in here. The question is, where do I put it? I will think of something.)

While the rest of the world may be going to hell in a handbasket, my holiday was actually quite good. I hope most of you can say the same, and *hugs* to those of you I know can't. *more hugs ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving was awesome! We had it on Friday, because my mom had a chance to trade her Christmas day shift for a Thanksgiving shift, and it matters more to us what day we celebrate Xmas on. (Celebrating Christmas on the wrong day is really weird and I don't like it.) In addition to the usual face-stuffing, my mom broke down and hauled out her ( Read more... )

Whee: I'm home now, obviously. I took half a sick day at work because I got about 3 hours of sleep last night and I was hoping to get a few hours more and feel human before I went in. It didn't work. But that made the day bearable, and I got done what needed doing, so...

I'm so fucking exhausted: I avoided getting depressed last night by the ( Read more... )

Heroes- Still haven't seen it. But the problem was apparently that I didn't have winRAR. I thought I did. OOPS. <--n00b. So that'll be fine later tonight.

House- Cable was okay enough to watch! Didn't find it QUITE as good as usual, but it had its moments...I give it a 7/10.

Books- Still working on Shogun and American Psycho. I'm not ( Read more... )

Hey guys. Just here to update you on my exciting life.

Moving sucks. The purpose of moving is to make you pathetically grateful to live wherever you are, even if it's in a dumpster. My parents, brother caffeinatedalex, and friends Jill and Scott came and helped out. We loaded the Uhaul in about 3 hours and unloaded it in about 1. I think we set some kind of ( Read more... )
