Vortex, have you gotten any news about the window problem with the condo and when you get to actually move in?

well, there's been yet another clusterfuck. I was supposed to close tomorrow, but it's been pushed back again because my mortgage guy isn't handling business.

Oh, that sucks. I think the suggestion in Natter is correct: martini time.

The Cuyahoga. No one's ever going to let that river forget that incident.

When Greg asked me to marry him and move up here, I said something like, "To a city that sets their river on fire?"

To which he replied, "Twice, actually, and it's much cleaner now."

It was really the only thing I knew about Cleveland, except that it supposedly rocks.

Oh man, Vortex. Bleh.

Well, I have been shopping and ended up getting a couple of Chocolate Pens, a feather crop type thing, and a set of 52 scratchers with kinky suggestions on them. I had wanted a set of "Foreplay Dice", but the only set they had were in Spanish.

Tomorrow is work and then All-Star FanFest FUN! I'm all bouncy when I should be working on homework.

Suzi, I'm so psyched for you!

So know what I've been doing for the last two hours? Combing through one of my credit reports after discovering that a couple of DexH's credit cards with HUGE BALANCES are showing up on my report and affecting my credit rating. Gargh.

I've emailed him and disputed them on Experian, but now I may have to bite the bullet and order credit reports from the other two agencies so that I can set the record straight on all of them.

Argh. Really not fun.

Argh KT credit woes sucketh. I had a great time at your place last night. On the way home the neighborhood around the intersection of the 110 and the 105 was quite spectacularly illuminated by illegal fireworks. I'm tempted to pull off the road at the top of that carpool ramp to watch the show next year.

If you go to annualcreditreport.com you can get a free report from each agency once a year. I hope this resolves easily, dealing with credit can be such a pain.

Brenda, unfortunately I've already used my once a year with all three. Sad but true.

It will work out; it's just a PITA.

Gronk.

I've been running all over the city all day. A large amount of this running around could have been prevented -- basically, I put off doing some things that I shouldn't have put off, and they were way more complicated to do at the last minute than they would have been if I'd done them at a smarter time.

Last day of sign class is tomorrow. Final exam, which I'm a little nervous about, and last day of seeing these people, which I'm a little sad about. (Well, some of them.)
