It's a Sony 27" color TV. You can probably cab it if you're careful. Here's a picture: [link]
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks so much! Let me see if the weirdness this morning was just a fluke, and then I could come get it some night this week after work?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's something else over the whole shebang? Then yes.
You don't feel untidy?
Maybe I am more OCD than I'd thought.

Maybe you are.

Little lady? Even were I little, I'd still want to kick ass for that.
I've given people a look and said "I'm not little. And if you say it again, I won't be a lady either"

I am little, and I think the sentiment is still, "I may not be able to reach your ass to kick it, but son, I will fucking murder your shins."
I made myself a broccoli cheese omelet with fresh strawberries on the side. And now I am taking a nap, because damn, that took way too much energy.

Thanks for the info, sumi. I'm two or three episodes behind on CSI, so it wouldn't be practical.
Right now I'm watching my TV mostly on the weekends, except for the series in which I'm catching up on in bulk. Combined threads without impossible whitefont rules aren't much use to me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So far this weekend --
My sister threw me a fabulous baby shower yesterday, and both my mom and MiL came up from DC to attend. It was really fun...
...EXCEPT that during this time, my dryer was delivered but not installed, so I spent a fair amount of my party on the phone with PC Richards trying to get someone, anyone, to do their fucking job.
Basically, the electrician we hired a month or so back put in the wrong shape plug. So after finding out that our idiot sales guy had forgotten to schedule us an installation, yelling at him until he got the installers to put us on the schedule for today anyway...we couldn't get anything done. The installer put in the plug for the Canadian version of our dryer, and it's a completely different shape than the American power cord, so there's no way the prongs will fit into it. So I said fine, if we need to we can get the electrician back, but in the meantime could you at least set up the stacking kit so the dryer's not sitting in the middle of my kitchen anymore? The installers, lying little fuckwads, said they were going down to their truck to see if they had another power cord that would work...and never came back. When we realized they weren't coming back, the ENTIRE shower party was ready to march over to Atlantic Center and burn the store to the ground. We ended up calling the store manager again, who called the installers, but they were already done for the day and not in Brooklyn anymore, and in the meantime had made up some bullshit story about how I wouldn't let them take the closet door off so they couldn't have even put the dryer where I wanted it, so they left. I don't have their names, but I *do* have their cellphone #, so when I call back on Monday to sort everything out for the umpteenth time, I will be doing my best to get them fired. Fuckers.
This morning, I had a magnificent prenatal massage at BlissSpa. It was basically a regular massage, but with a bazillion pillows on the table so I could lie comfortably on my stomach or either side. I feel soooooooooo relaxed.
Right now, we've got a handyman in the living room putting up our bookshelves. (After having three carpenters bail on us with no warning, we called the guy who painted our apartment to see if he could recommend anyone, and he said he also does handyman/carpentry work, so we just hired him back. And bless him, he showed up.)
Apparently the wall stud issue I was having when I tried to do this a few weeks back was not because I'm incompetent -- there really are no wall studs where they're supposed to be in this apartment. There are a few metal studs (not very useful as you can't drill into them), and then large patches of drywall with nothing behind it. So our handyman went out to the hardware store and got some really strong wall anchors instead, and we're just going to hope for the best. I think with 4 standards, the weight will be evenly distributed enough that the shelves will hold. I'm a little concerned about the pot rack, but we'll see.
