Spending this much on nail polish is a tad frivolous, but I feel okay about it given that it's making me very happy.
You know, it's cheaper than therapy.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Yikes, Jess!
My Dell laptop is dead. The second hard drive is fried. I have a column due tonight so I'm trying to pull something out of my ass using DH's laptop.
I need recs on laptops--NOT Dell and NOT HP.

Who here shared the information that Soap is on Netflix instant view? I have mainlined all 4 seasons. I had forgotten how it "ended". Gah.
To return the favor(?), 21 Jump Street is also on instant view.

Because books.
God, I haven't seen Soap since ... first run. When I wasn't really allowed to watch it.
megan, that blows. I'm sorry.
Cash, I just bought an Asus, and it came highly recommended from several sources. So far, I love it.

That's what I'm leaning towards, Amy. Did you get a netbook?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"Yes, I'm unhappy, because I work with crazy people. If I enjoyed working with crazy people, I wouldn't be looking to work with your group, because you're not crazy. Although this Catch-22 you've set up is making me reconsider that assessment."
Oh yeah. A former coworker once hired me to work under her at a different job. She told them I was quiet. Sure, I was quiet at Old Job, because I fucking hated it there! I wasn't friends with any of my coworkers and my boss was a crazy person! That is when I made friends with all of you people....

Nope, Cash, a 16" laptop. It's my main machine, so I didn't want a netbook.
The touchpad was a learning curve for someone used to the Thinkpad's little red nipple, but I got the hang of it pretty quick. It's got loads and loads of memory, too.

OMGcommunitymeetingcrazy. People I am glad I am not: city contractor rep for the wastewater project that just got sprung on the neighborhood (gee, sound familiar?) that involves a lot of demolition right next to a high school and who could not commit to not using one particular street for truck traffic. For a project that end to end is 4 year. Whee.
We had 2 lt. cols., our district commander person and our 2 plainsclothes neighborhood cops, who got loved on a lot, and invited themselves to several citizen foot patrol meetings coming up. Of course, we had Mary Pat, council rep and I was able to introduce myself and get a pile of fliers to raise funds for our local firehouse to hang at work.
Plus a free cloth 2010 Census bag.
I've got to say, Mary Pat is a total steamroller for her citizenry. City contractor dude was distinctly unhappy.

Speaking of the census, Boston is hilarious. On the subway platform, there was a special announcement about how if you're a student, you should still tell the census that you live here.
