Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Why is it so hard to find a place to recycle a (mostly) non-working old TV? Especially on Earth Day?

I think I finally found a place that will take TVs (most won't, or will charge), but I have to schlep it over there sometime between 8-5 during the week. Maybe I'll take a half-day off of work soon and take care of that and a few other errands.

Or check with your local municipality.

I honestly don't know what to do with the fact that I have an equally good chance of meeting Johnny Depp as I do getting shot by the Vice Lords for walking past the wrong street in my neighborhood.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm seriously considering printing up a T-shirt that just says "NO." for Dragon*Con.

I just got this. (Thank you LJ.) People are....odd and intrusive and not socialized the way that I am, which is why I avoid them as much as possible.

If I want to have a cookie, I have to go back into the house, unplug the dishwasher because the cord stretches across the room because that's where the outlet is, and go upstairs to where I left them. It seems like a lot of work.

On the other hand: cookie.

If you give a mouse a cookie, he’s going to ask for a glass of milk. When you give him the milk, he’ll probably ask you for a straw.

Love that book! (Also love "If You Give a Moose a Muffin.")

Oh, and thanks for recommending my local municipality, Tom! I headed over there, and found a link to a much closer drop-off location. They charge $10 for a TV drop-off (my first option was free), but they are open later as well as a local company that I like to support when I can. When I eventually get around to getting a new computer, I can take my old one over there for only $5.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I don't get the "NO." thing, but I guess it must be related to fandom craxiness.(I'm apparently not hanging out the same lj places as shrift and Steph L.)
