Boring day at work... usual chewing on broken glass feelings on having to deal with my boss (I couldn't seem to get Flood to front, however much I poked at him, and he's usually swift to take the lead if I give him the slightest oppurtunity ( Read more... )

And to make the computer shopping matters messier, my crazy father told one of his co-workers about my plans, to which his co-worker suggested I should try getting a Hewlett-Packard. So I looked into it and found a model that would be just right for what I need... only problem is, I don't think there are any actual Hewlett Packard stores, and I ( Read more... )

Two interesting discussions last night sparked some ideas which my poor, idea-hungry brain could use. I'll break this down into cuts to make it easier to digest:

Aside from running into Lowell for an appointment with my therapist, it's been a rather quiet day. Not to say I'm not making some plans, though: I'm tinkering with a few original fic ideas, most notably a novel inspired by the recent fanbrat debacle. Now, to those of you who were unfortunate enough to get dragged into that exchange by those verbal ( Read more... )

Just been re-watching LOTR II, on TV with my mother. I love the movie trilogy, but it's so long that I've been hesitant to rewatch it (That and I have yet to get the box set of the extended version: well, Christmas *is* coming...). I suspect my mother likes Gollum for some reason: She kept saying, "Hey, there's Gollum!" or something like that every ( Read more... )

I nipped up to the library here in town today, to take care of a few computer-related things (Didn't get as many of them done as I wanted to, since I wanted to get back early since it was warm today, and I didn't know how soon the bus would come: I ended up missing it anyway, and had to wait for the next one...). Plus, I also took out "The ( Read more... )

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong: The Alavert/Sudafed cocktail I've been taking first thing in the morning wasn't kicking in since I was taking it on an empty stomach. I just have to remind myself not to reach for the pillbox when I first get up. I slept much better last night (well enough to have an amusing dream about wrapping ( Read more... )

Continued from my previous post: I had to get a towel because I started drooling over those pics I posted ( Read more... )

The other day, I had to contend with people bracing for the (very tattered remnants of) Katrina the Hurricane; today I had to deal with people gearing up for Labor Day Weekend, the end of summer here in Massachusetts. By the time I punched out, I felt as if someone had been beating on me with a hammer; I swear, I must have burned every calorie and ( Read more... )

I managed to add Patric Lepage's new "A.I." fic to the AIFFOA, but since I was updating the site via the sssslllllooooowwww computers at the library in Lowell, that meant I barely got it done. The site editor refused to load after I finished creating the page and the links for it, and thus I wasn't able to add to the Update log on the homepage. Oh ( Read more... )
