In which it’s freaking growing back already. I tried to go to Sweet Basil Pizzaria for lunch today but they were closed because they’re off having a baby or something. I wandered over to Merchant’s and ordered a sandwich, but they lost my order and I didn’t get it for a long time. I snarfed […]
In which I feel totally cute. I got up early today and went and had my hair done. I got highlights, I got lowlights, I got it cut using three different types of cutting devices, I got my eyebrows colored and waxed, AND I got free coffee. My hair is all blonde and straight and […]
In which we turn and face the strange / ch-ch-changes. Two years ago today, I was married and living in rural Iowa doing the American Dream thing, with the mortgage and the house under reconstruction and the quiet desperation and all that shit. The Ex was working in Cedar Rapids that week and I was […]
In which there are superdelicious foodz! The Best Aunt Ever™ picked me up after work last night and took me to College Place for dinner at a tiny little place called Bangkok 103. College Place is a vegetarian haven because apparently the town is comprised mainly of a Christian sect – Adventist, I believe – […]
In which we revisit lolcats because man, that shit is FUHNEH. I’m sick and stupid but I love you so here’s some cute: Enter the ICHC online Poker Cats Contest!
In which I can barely even think. Sunday I woke up sick. And pissed off about it, too, because if you’ll recall I WAS JUST SICK and it isn’t time yet to be sick again. But sick I was. And pissed off about it, too, but I already said that. Point is, my aunt was […]
In which I give you a picture of call center life. Yesterday, for my first call of the day I was on the phone with a customer for 106 minutes trying to set up his DSL. It should have been a 10 minute call, tops. The hardware was properly cabled and all the correct lights […]
In which the weather is totally gorgeous. I took this picture with my cell yesterday. It’s March and this is what’s happening outside. Spring! I asked Gramma if there’d be another cold snap yet, and she declined to speculate. She never gives weather predictions; she just shrugs and says, “We’ll see. I’ve seen years when […]
In which I do one thing in place of another. I couldn’t install my new 120Gb hard drive because I need a hard drive caddy because I can’t get the one on my current hard drive OFF because of un-ideal tools and a lack of significant hand/wrist strength. This whole hard drive replacement project is […]
In which I’m felled by microorganisms. Gramma and I both have rotten colds. We’ve been drinking hot lemonade with ginger in it, and lazing about, and coughing, and sounding scratchy-voiced. I have it worse than she does (her immune system’s been fighting germs now for 85 years and has wicked mad germ-fu), and slept 20 […]
