We did not get hit with the mounds of snow yesterday - there was just enough to cover the ground - but it's been every kind of rain since then, from fat wet drops to little frozen pellets. My dad watched the newspaper deliverer skid and slip his way up our steep driveway, then decide the prudent way to get back *down* would be to slide down on his ( Read more... )

I am, of course, watching the Oscars. Because I'm an awards show addict. *g* So far, I am only mildly bored, but then again, I like Ellen DeGeneres. M'also trying to do a few other things, but am totally interruptible for snarking if anyone's so inclined. ;-)

Chapter 6 of TAoVS is up, after some technical difficulties - and on MY end, not Jade's ( Read more... )

To communicate, that is. I got called out on having been withdrawn lately today, by a fairly unexpected source - one of my co-workers with whom I have a very peculiar friendship. She's one of the few people I actually talk to about being restless and wanting/planning to do other things, largely b/c she is in a similar position esp now that she's ( Read more... )

femmenerd recommended this sort of a movie tag fic, and I'm just going to steal her description wholecloth:

"Not Quite a Success Story - Say Anything (movie) - PG13? - Lloyd POV, 15 years later. A delayed "happy ending." Real. Awesome ( Read more... )

Holy cow that's a lotta cards! I already sent the international ones earlier; I've just finished the North American ones and I'll have to lug them over to the post office tomorrow b/c I don't have nearly enough stamps. *laughs* Apologies to anyone who might have wanted a tangible smooch this year. It would've been a liiiiiittle too much paper to be ( Read more... )

So instead of a little Ziploc of wee plastic bottles, it's now back to absolutely NO liquids in the passenger cabin, *including* no bringing your own bottled water. Seriously fucking annoying, dude. Augh. *goes to round up lots of plastic bags to wrap everything in so it doesn't leak all over her clothes when her suitcase is thrown around* Mreh. * ( Read more... )

Got mah hair cut today. I was going to do it next week but it's been royally pissing me off so since I was out where there was a decent salon I asked about walk-ins and got it done. It's not quite as cool as the last person cut it but it's good and my bangs aren't in my fucking eyes anymore woohoo! The mom and I are going to finally colour it ( Read more... )

June bugs are gross, and the ones here are twelve times the size of the ladybug-esque ones in Ontario. It's the time of year for them (duh, it's almost June!) and they bang mindlessly against any available surface especially lighted ones. Ergo, when I am sitting here at night on the computer, there is banging on my window and on my patio door and ( Read more... )

I was unsuccessful in my mission to get the new Hawksley Workman CD today. (Okay, yesterday, since it's technically tomorrow already.) There must have been some issue shipping them or something; no one has them. I talked to the guy at CD Plus though and he'd thought it was in March, but upon checking the computer discovered I was right about the ( Read more... )
