I'll be sure to link you to the last two comment tracker posts I've made so you can see how you've grown. Congratulations Dan, for keeping your number one spot! This is one of the two-- pretty sure this is the first comment wizard I ever ran: merikeh.livejournal.com/198478.html This is the more recent March of this year comment stats:    merikeh.livejournal.com/317912.html Top Commenters...

But in this case, that’s a good thing. ;) Part of what Josh ( nashoba143 ) does as activities coordinator for Hope Care Center is come up with ideas for crafts that the residents can take part in. Last week, it was painting plaster faces. Specifically, Christina ( 2012ad ), Greg ( chiefseamonkey ), and my faces. It all started three weeks ago.... Getting ready Slathered...

Pain in the ass though it was, I'm now at least back up and functionally online, so to speak. While I've not yet had time to install my graphics programs, I've at least done all the XP updates, installed the new vidcard, and such. I'll probably get ArtRage installed before I go, but Painter X and the CS3 Suite will wait until I get back. Same goes for the installation of Ubuntu Studio as a secondary...

Still haven't tried to catch up on LJ.  It's probable that some of you will not be read,  as I will likely try to catch up through a condensed friend filter instead.  Even then,  I may still just say fuck it. Sleep is still way the fuck off,  and for some reason I seem to have retained the temporary habit of turning my ringer to vibrate-- works great in your pocket,  not so much across the room when...

Okay, so chiefseamonkey   and I just got back from I Want to Believe , and I thought I'd leave a review of it here for those of you who care. Now, I am the last person to spoil a fellow X-Phile's experience, so all of the spoilery stuff is going to be under a cut. I didn't watch a single trailer before the movie, and I want other peoples' experiences to be spoiler-free as well. The...

Needless to say, he won’t be welcome to come upstairs for a drink again. Josh and I drove the U-Haul in last Sunday. We rolled in around 11:00 PM. It took us 13 hours, so we made pretty good time. That night we unloaded the bed and flopped into it, forsaking all else in favor of rest. Let me tell you: 13 hours of driving is tiring . 2012ad and chiefseamonkey came over on Monday...

The plumber came out to look at our shower and couldn't get it fixed tonight, so he's coming back by in the morning. It needs to get done by tomorrow night, as I have work on Monday and chiefseamonkey  has got an interview that afternoon. Neither of us really wants to show up smelly. My mittelschmerz is acting up tonight. It's getting pretty nasty. I'm kind of wishing I was dead right now...

Somehow, chiefseamonkey  managed to snap our tub's hot water knob off in his hand with his incredible man-strength. I can has no shower naow! He's put in a call to our landlord, and we're waiting to hear back from him. Scheisse. ETA: Turns out Chuck, our landlord, is out camping this weekend. Greg's on the phone as we speak trying to get him to send someone out here this weekend to fix...

Here's what I did all week: Called CareOne Credit Counseling about my debt. Hopefully I'll have a new plan with them started by next Tuesday. Bought jewelry supplies to make stuff for my Etsy store . I have tons of ideas. The hard part is just getting everything started! Got my hair cut into a short, funky, choppy bob. This was the first time in a long while that I actually squealed with delight...

Oh, LJ Land... I feel like I've been very negligent in my updates for the last couple of weeks. I've just been so damn busy that I really haven't had the time to pause and write everything down. Jem has been doing very well with her heartworm treatment so far. She's not enjoying being cooped up all by herself in her room all the time, but that can't really be helped much. We let her out for a...
