The Socialist took yesterday off from work so he could take care of arranging to get his car fixed. I was rather impressed with his insurance company – less than twelve hours after he got hit his car was in for estimates. The Socialist, of course, spent most of the day admiring his half-empty glass…
It’s just a stupid car. Yes, alright, it’s a brand new stupid car, but it’s a car. Yes, I feel badly you got rear ended tonight. Yes, I’m sure it’s misery having the first car you ever bought damaged to the tune of several thousand dollars twice in the first two months you’ve own it….
When my friend arrived yesterday morning, the weather was overcast but dry. We decided to risk the airshow. It was poorly attended (no surprise) but ironically they parked us as far as possible from the main show site. I don’t speed along quite as quickly as I used to, so it took nearly fifteen minutes…
It looks like no air show for this chicken. It’s raining off and on, and the clouds are low enough to touch. Hell, even the crows got lost in fog during their aerial fly-bys this morning. I’m bummed, but my friend is coming anyhow, and we figured we’d find something else to do. That probably…
The new neighbors are moving in today! The cats are ecstatic! And I have something else to snoop on. Anybody ever see Hitchcock’s “Rear Window”? The Kitten and Cattitude are downstairs watching from the kitchen, but the O’Beast has settled in for a nice aerial view from my computer study. Not a great shot, but…
“Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion… I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.” — Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Oh what a day it was. Or wasn’t, if you prefer. My appointment with Dr. A having already been pushed to next week, I was able to…
Tomorrow I was to have had two doctor’s appointments – one with my primary and one with the specialist who did the marrow biopsy. The specialist’s office just called to ask if they could postpone the appointment until next Friday. The nurse at the office explained that there is a meeting of something called “The…
Not a good end to the day last night. The Socialist did something that upset a lot of people, and when I tried to tell him why they were upset he got angry. The unspoken accusation was that I was being disloyal. He threw a few articles of clothing around the bedroom, told me to…
I spent the day typing change of address letters to the various organizations and journals I subscribe to. Yes, I know I should have done this weeks ago, but events overtook me, and facing that mound of crappola was really more than I wanted to deal with. It wasn’t until I noticed that I had…
I went looking for Hampster Dance tonight. My old link no longer worked. I found their new site easily enough … and then just kept going. Caution – all these load music. Do NOT listen to these from your work station unless you have earphones. No point in just turning the sound off, as you’ll…
