Nicole, if you ever work in customer support, you shall find out. amych speaks sooth. I'm astounded by things I encounter daily. I wish I were a better humor writer because I'd love to write a sort of "Bastard Operator from Hell" about my job. Stuff that would make your jaw drop. And stuff that's incredibly depressing when you think that these people are running around unsupervised. Maybe voting and donating money to political campaigns...

I'm fully convinced, despite his bucketload of Ivy League degrees, that if I were to say "Just double-click" he'd tap the monitor screen twice and then look at me all bewildered and puppy-like).

Dummy. Doesn't he know you click your HEELS twice?

ICompletelyON, I've been fucking around not doing Doctor The-Big-Shiny-Box-Scares-Me!'s notes and catching up on news and politics blogs. Digby interrupted his usual in-depth news analysis and despair in mid-December to note that he was being killed dead by the cuteness of the baby pandas on the Animal Planet PandaCam and commanded all his readers to click on the link and be dead of the cute, too, if they dared.

Two days later, in the middle of the comments section to an actual rant about a substantive topic, another poster commented:

BTW, I haven't seen those cute pandas move yet.

It's a comforting sign of continuity in this crazy mixed-up world to know that the baby pandas are not only still deadly cute, they're still dead.

Me go home! Me slounge in bed and watch DVDs! W00T! Work over!

I saw an episode of House last night. I had never seen it before and it managed to fill the space in my heart that was made when Cordelia went to a higher plane and lost her true snark.

I shall never be snarkless again.

I had no idea that people could be so stupid. Wow.

I had no idea that people could be so stupid. Wow.

Two Words.

Oh I just had a lovely long conversation with one of the bffs. It is so calming and happy making to speak with those we love. Despite not seeing each other for 2 months we fall right back into step and effortlessly ramble on about topics here and there.

Oh and house clean-up is going very well. The spare room actually looks a little homey and inviting. Now to vaccuum and then test out the new yarn swift and baller.

I swear I forgot what definition someone gave BFF. But it sounds nice nonetheless, msbelle.

I came home to find my ex-landlord has put a For Rent sign out across the street. He said he wanted out of the landlord biz. And kinda pressured me to give notice, which is why I moved. Otherwise I'd still be living there. I guess a year and a half of shouldering the mortgage payment with no renters changed his mind. Anyway, I've swung into gear getting the word out to friends in the hope I can get some cool neighbors. Too bad juliana already has her joint hooked up.

This is an early Victorian (no gingerbread on the outside, but hardwood floors and ceiling medallions inside) 2 bedroom (with 2 other rooms that could be made to serve as bedrooms) one-story with a big yard and off-street parking about 7 blocks from Ashby BART. Great for entertaining.

bff?
