Allyson, I know that letter was difficult to write (as was the decision to file a complaint), but really, you didn't have any other choice. I've been pretty lucky in that my landlords have all been really responsive to complaints (I was shocked when my current place sent someone over to fix my shower faucet within a matter of a few hours on a Sunday!), but you have to keep on the nonresponsive ones. Sucks, though.

I have no idea what my excuse is, but I like to do the machines with my eyes closed.

I have to remember to bring in a magazine to read, because trying to watch the TVs they have scattered around in front of the treadmills/bikes/ellipticals just makes me worried I'm going to misstep and stumble on the treadmill, so I keep my eyes focused on the display. This, of course, makes the time crawl.

I can't use a standard scale yet (probably won't be able to until the end of the year), but I think I've probably lost about 25 pounds since January 8th (when I started the diet).

Audio books on my iPod is what makes that boring time bearable. Music's okay, but James Bond with the eyes closed makes time fly.

Puttering around my C drive seeing what space I can reclaim. I really need to borrow Ghost and upgrade the puppy.

There are apps here that I've never heard of and can't imagine a need for. The Kazoo 3D thing comes right off.

I think I need to replace the battery in my Razr phone. It's a year and three months old and it's not holding a charge as well as it once did.

I'm not up for an upgrade until this summer, sadly, else I'd just go ahead and get a new phone. I still like my Razr but I would also prefer it in pink.

My Razr is such a piece of crap, I'm counting the days until I can get a different phone. Cute, but aggravating. It turns itself off about half of the time I shut it.

For some reason I find this photo very funny. [link]

My Razr isn't bad--except for the battery life. It sucks. Won't even last the night with continual bluetooth on.

I have this super cheapo free-with-contract phone (the SO has the nice one, 'cause he actually uses it to, like, talk to people; I use mine to check the time. It's a pocket watch, really.) and a couple of days ago it was mysteriously broken. Antenna was dangling, wouldn't hold a charge. No idea what happened, it was just in my pocket. I took the charger with me, drove down the hill and back up the hill. The next day, the phone was fine. Antenna was firmly secured, holds the charge fine, everything's fine.

No idea what happened. I'm gonna go with gnomes.

"Mmmm, tasty lizard. I'ma chomp him."

Liese, did you happen to run into Taye Diggs? Or Sandra Bullock?

While I was out lizard chomping? No.
