For whom the bell tolls

Ed MacMahon: dead
Farrah Fawcett: dead
Michael Jackson: dead
This is the shittiest week of 2009 so far.
My health isn’t good either. I developed a nasty dry throat/swollen tonsils because of the huge differences between daytime and nighttime temps (25*C day/5*C night). I wake up with no blankets, freezing, my mouth, tongue and throat dried out [...]

Sprinkles

Sunday night, we ate pizza for supper. Monday noon, we discovered the oven had been on for over 16 hours. I am amazed the house didn’t catch fire because of my forgetful stupidity.
I’m struggling to balance 2 RS P2P accounts. Men Shen is brand new to this world and it’s so hard for [...]

This I vow

No more putting other people’s dirty dishes in the dishwasher/sink. If she/he/it leaves a plate or glass on the counter because they’re too fucking lazy, it’s damn well going to stay there. Since the ILs left for their cabin 4 days ago, Big L (MIL’s sister) and the BIL have dropped by and left used [...]

I have to bitch or I’ll explode

I was working on a BG2 story yesterday and I needed to play part of the game to get one line of dialogue correctly written. I didn’t have BG2 installed on this computer, so I had to do that before accomplishing anything. SoA went in fine, but I couldn’t find the ToB disc. I dug [...]

Lawn nazi

The MIL is *into* how her yard looks. It has to be raked free of grass clippings after each mow. Guess what happens to those clippings? That’s right, they go to the dump along with the household garbage. This is the only place I’ve lived where the yard needed raked. Yeah, I’ve mowed yards that [...]
