Yesterday we went to the Dagorhir Halloween battle. Derek gave up on his idea of being Ash from Evil Dead and ended up going as Neo with his Matrix coat. I went as a devil/demon, with flaming red wings, prosthetic horns on my forehead, my face/neck/chest/arms painted red, with these awesome long black, red-tipped eyelashes and realistic fangs ( Read more... )

We've been living in our house for close to a month now, and it feels like we've gotten very far, yet have so much left to do.  Hopefully by the end of the weekend our bathroom will be completely finished, thanks mostly to Derek's father.  We have a new tub, toilet, walls (had to get rid of the pink-and-black tiling, eew), and chaged the layout a ( Read more... )

I know I never post anymore. I just use this to read other people's journals. But I'm excited and I have to vent it ^_^

YAAAAY I GOT PREAPPROVED FOR MY MORTGAGE!  In the perfect amount to buy the house I fell in love with on Saturday.

I'm rather surprised, actually, considering that I had just bought my shiny new red Saturn not even two months ( Read more... )

So it looks like I'll have to transfer to another college. Buffalo State doesn't seem to offer any night/weekend business courses, even in the summer. I'm wondering where to go from here - I've always loved the small-class-size cozy atmosphere of Buffalo State paired with its low price. GEICO will give up to $4,500 a year for my tuition and will ( Read more... )

President Bush put Dick Cheney in the crosshairs - for a change.

Washington is still buzzing about President Bush's shtick at last weekend's Gridiron Dinner.

"There are all these conspiracy theories that Dick [Cheney] runs the country, or Karl [Rove] runs the country," the ( Read more... )
