I saw roadrunners today. Running on the road! Away from my car!!!
So very cool! I once had a coyote cross the road in front of my car, but no roadrunners. I know which I'd prefer.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Anybody here?
See Nutty worry needlessly. Worry needlessly, Nutty, worry needlessly!
I have packed much, and then got fed up with it and have several mostly-organized piles for morning. Due to Flatmate Space-Cadetry, I ended up packing and cleaning the vast majority of the public space (especially kitchen). Thus I feel justified in forgetting to handle any of the bills being transferred till, you know, today.
The dust bunnies are legion. Nothing like moving to bring out one's obsessive-comulsive traits. That goes double when Careful Bob the Muppet is one's new landlord, a man who wears his anal cleanliness on his sleeve. I think I foresee renaming Careful Bob as Scooter, what do you think?
The Red Sox game is in the 7th now, and all game long the broadcasters gaga about a potential Manny trade. Very irritating. At least we are winning (knock wood). The pitcher on the mound is Chad Bradford, a guy who looks like he is skipping rocks rather than pitching baseballs, and with a name like that he always earworms me with the rhyme about Yon Yohnson who lives in Wisconsin.
Anybody here?
No.
Also, you're going from creepy basement Bob to careful muppet Bob? I presume that's an improvement.
I think the subtraction of creepy is always a good. Whether careful muppets cause their own issues is up to question.
Also, it will be nice not to have screaming-at-each-other-in-Portuguese neighbors on one side, and idiot college boys who party at 2am on the other side.
Late start to the day. I did manage to get out and make it to Home Depot & there I got the pipe fitting I needed to reconnect my kitchen sink, and a new light fixture for my dining room (which meant a new non-dimmer light switch). I was able to do the sink fix with only a little difficulty, but I was thwarted in my attempt to change out the wall switch - it won't turn on now and I've rechecked the wires three times. Looks like I will be returning the combo light switch/outlet and getting a straight light switch. BASTARDS! It makes me want to scream EAT IT BOB VILLA! which really makes no sense.
Anyhoo, with the sink re-connected I was able to run the dishwasher and that makes me happy.
OMG the frat boy neighbors are singing along to something susiciously Tom-Jones-like. At volume = 11.
How glad am I to be outta here?
I took the test 3 times once a loner, second a drama nerd ( which is way too funny) and the third results:
Geek 63%
Loner 56%
Goth 50%
Drama nerd 50%
Punk/Rebel 44%
Stoner 19%
Ghetto gangsta 6%
Prep/Jock/Cheerleader 0%
no prep. proves that you can be born within spitting distance of ll bean and still not get it.
It's not Unusual...
What's new pussycat....
Drama nerd 50%
Loner 44% Geek 38%
Goth 25%
Prep/Jock/Cheerleader 19%
Ghetto gangsta 19%
Stoner 13%
Punk/Rebel 13%
The top three work, after that it kind of breaks down. I don't recall us having any Goths in Highschool. I'd never even heard of Goths until I started playing White Wolf RPGs my senior year. But 95% of my friends where in theatre and I worked tech crew, so Drama Nerd is pretty much spot on.
For our school, the Jocks and Preps were at the top of the popularity scale, with the Drama folks near the bottom. Which was a real wake up call for a friend of mine who transfered in her junior year. At her previous school the Theatre folks were top rung, oddly enough, and no one really cared much about sports.
