Oh no, I don't want to bother G about it. They've got so much going on and I really need one right away to be able to write, anyway.
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No, really, speak to him Allyson.
God, I hate having the shakes.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies,
Much baby~ma to the Zmayhems.
Sorry about the gardening menace, ita. ETA: And assorted other health-crappiness. Shakes, ugh.
I am glad I take my last antibiotic pill (doctor diagnosed me with bronchitis last week) tonight. I think it's been seriously messing with my sleep as I've been having really weird dreams that keep waking me up in the middle of the night. But the side effects are dizziness and drowsiness, so I really don't want to take the stupid thing when I'm going to be awake.
ION, need to figure out what to get my girlfriend for her birthday Friday. It's the first time I've had a relationship that lasted long enough to overlap with the SO's birthday so we're in uncharted territory.

Allyson, I would go with a refurbished PowerBook. You've probably already found the site, but here it is just in case: [link] .
I have the G4 Powerbook released last October, and I've got nothing but praise for it--it's been a great laptop for me. I wanted the extra RAM etc. because I do use PhotoShop from time to time (yes, to make LJ icons...is that so wrong?) and like to watch DVDs on it from time to time, so the iBook wasn't as good of a deal for me.

Meh. I missed some really good news at work today. But it would have been much better news for me if it had come next week -- our fiscal year ends 9/30, and I had it in my FY07 plan! Drat. But also Yay.
Do you know how long I spent staring at that and trying to figure out how the Septembereenie fit into your FY07 plan?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Allyson -- One thing about buying direct from Apple is that delivery's free and everything, but if it's sent to your apartment you'll have to be there to receive it. You could have it shipped to you at work (if you're allowed to do that, I mean), but I know Johanna had a lot of trouble getting Apple/FedEx to actually do that.
Plus, you won't get it till the end of the week, at best. I still think you should go for the iBook deal at the bookstore, just because it seems like the option that will give you the least additional stress.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Good luck with the computer, Allyson. Unexpected expenses are of the suck. I'm thankful that the weather has turned warm again because we tried to turn our furnace on last week when it got chilly and we can't seem to keep the pilot light lit. DH shut off the gas to the furnace and we have a call in to our guy, who can hopefully come at the end of this week. I'm just hoping (nearly praying) that we don't have to replace the furnace. No way, shape or form are we ready for that expense.
And asshead still hasn't paid me from my spec work from two months ago. I'm ready to go crack his kneecaps with a baseball bat.
