This morning I went to an orthodontist to see about this big gap in my lower front teeth. I was actually pretty darned awake after having gone to the midnight showing of the new Indy flick...more on that later. Anyway, I went in, nice lady.  Nice visit all together.  She tells me that I have some receding going on, but it's not in the regular place.  "If this was regular gum receding, we'd graft...

Victory! Well, sorta. I finished up the big set of data entry last night...and there's more this morning. Plus more filing (++pockets for my iPod; I wore a skirt yesterday, which was far from ideal). Neverending piles of paper. I keep waking up at or around 7am. Even when I go to bed at a stupid time--I was up until 2:30am on Sunday night, as I'd foolishly napped in the afternoon, and was Getting...

I've been reading about brittadotcom 's Scandinavian travels, and I think how exciting it must be to visit you ancestral home.  Her family can somewhat remember what general area they're from, having come to the US only a hundred years ago.   I can't help but be a tad jealous.  I'd love to go visit Ireland.  As far as I know, no one from our family (the Welch side I mean, the Lockett side...

I have not yet left, because I was up until 5am talking about HP7 and other things. So it's a tomorrow morning departure, as early as I can manage, because I'd really rather make the drive in one long go. But there are pictures from brittadotcom 's awesome party on Saturday, with one , two , and three pictures of me as Tonks. The first two best show the whole costume (I sewed bits (including...

I just won the costume contest at the Books, Inc HP7 release party, with my excellent Tonks (still better than the movie version, I say). For those who haven't seen it, my hair is now blindingly pink; at least one person said "Ow" upon viewing it in direct sunlight. ^_^ I am very, very carefully not reading Ellie's copy of the book which is just over on the kitchen counter, though we did the ritual...

Hello! How is everyone doing? I'm doing quite well, thanks! Eagerly anticipating the acquisition of HP and the Deathly Hallows and avoiding anything that smells remotely like a spoiler. It seemed like just yesterday I was griping about how the book would never get here and I'll have it in my hot little hands in a couple of days. I still have to iron on the Ravenclaw patch on my robes. I'm totally going...

At brittadotcom 's suggestion, I'm shamelessly trying out a donation button for birthday/tattoo fundage. Of course, I'm not expecting anything (though hope springs eternal), but figured on making it easier; this would be perfect if you'd wanted to gift me and hadn't acquired something already: Otherwise, I'm still...I dunno. Can't summon any interest at all in class, even though...

Ahhh, another crack-filled weekend of socialness. Granted, I packed so much in today that I think I'll just sit around mindlessly tomorrow (ok, the day's already planned, but at least it's low-key, and only with two separate people/social groups!). Fight Club at midnight last night, with karenbynight , which was a great deal of fun. I always forget just how many lines from that film I'm...

I hate working retail. Today Daya and I had a lady get pissy with us because our donuts are more expensive than the donuts sold at Albertson's. Donuts. Donuts. For crying out loud. I understand that when people aren't getting exactly what they think they're entitled to they believe they have every right to crap all over anyone wearing a Top Foods hat. But seriously...how effective do they think...
