Oh, I meant to mention, I finished paperdol's book the other night (I parsed it out instead of devouring it in one go, plus I reread a couple of sections).
LOVED!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Emmett is now hooked on ANTM.
That is because it is the funniest show on television. Tyra is an unintentional comedic genius.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I need to get to a B&N. I'm dying to read The Book.

And you just don't want to piss off the people fixing your major appliances.
You can really be at their mercy. It's scary. This is a good guy, though. I just knew I was going to get the lecture about the air return.
I just try and pick up information whenever I can, because the more you learn about the way these things work, the better you can deal with the next repair guy. (Bit of knowledge for today: the air compressor has a starting side and a running side.)

See, and here I would have assumed this was a prelude to a "...better go catch it!" joke.

I'm fooling around at the Avery site, making up variations on a business card, which alas, I'm pretty much going to need in the near future.

Theo, you can also go to VistaPrint.com, which has a lot of free cards, as well as inexpensive ones. The free ones have Vista Print.com on the back, but so what?

I just got a lovely vistaprint card handed to me yesterday. I know, and have used the service many, many times...but if I didn't, I'm not sure I'd even have noticed their logo on the back.

It was actually a prelude to a lecture about how the starter on the starting side was broken. There were a lot of lectures today.

Dear Repair Dude,
If we all knew everything there was to know about A/C units, we wouldn't need you. You'd be unemployed and living in a van down by the river.
