And then the F5 key fell off…

I hate that red wall.

The only TV we watch these days is on Hulu. And that’s only…two?…shows. Which I think is a record for us, keeping up with two whole shows at a time. (America’s Got Talent and Wilfred for those playing along at home.) For awhile we kept seeing promos for a show called Mifits. Judging by the previews, it just looked very…odd. And British. British television is generally pretty odd, in my experience. Something prompted Bob to… Keep reading…And then the F5 key fell off…

I R Smrt…

When I got my new laptop with shiny Windows 7, I was highly disappointed that my 3D Home Architect program was no longer usable. It’s a program from somewhere in the vicinity of 1995. Windows 7 just ain’t gonna run that shit. Yes, I am well aware Windows 7 has a virtual WXP function that can run old programs. That’s in W7 Professional. I have W7 Home. So, after batting my eyelashes, I got a… Keep reading…I R Smrt…

Closed…

As of noon today, August 12th, 2011…we officially OWN our house. It took three months and a pain in the ass mystery leak to get here, but we did it. We closed on our house. It only took about an hour to get through everything. We didn’t officially meet the sellers (but we saw them in the lobby). They closed in a different office because they both had the flu. Oh how lovely. After all… Keep reading…Closed…

Not to mention the repeated in and out of people every time it has RAINED for the past three months. Today, it’s just me. And it’s oh-so QUIET. Dear GAWD I love the quiet. With any luck, we won’t have anybody here for a good LONG time. Until we recoup some of our closing costs and… Keep reading…Quiet…

Chances Are…

My senior year of high school I started writing a story I eventually titled Chances Are. I put a lot of work into planning it, but I didn’t make too much progress on the actual writing. Then I graduated from high school, quit my job at Menards, and spent five months on a hiatus from productivity. In those fives months, I worked on that story. I wrote. I planned. I spent time working on it… Keep reading…Chances Are…

Stumble till you drop…

Sara

Someday I will have something to write about other than the damn wall and the Mystery Leak That Better Be Fucking Solved. Today is not someday. We’ve gotten as far as a coat of primer on the wall. And the ceiling has been sprayed. Kid Construction said he’d be back later today to paint. He was over an hour late this morning, so we’ll see if he shows up anytime near when he said he… Keep reading…Stumble till you drop…
