Home from date. While not a Meara hotness type of date, I think it went really well. It was going to be a short evening because I have to be back in Irvine at 7am, and she has to work for The Mouse in the AM as well. And it turned into 4 hours of conversation. Some very candid things. Some very goofy things. mocking ourselves. Mocking work. Lamenting about work. Some rather eerie similarities in our families. Mutual love for Animaniacs, board games, card games, books, and History Channel. And an unfortunate complete disagreement on toppings for pizza. Luckily for that, we can always order half n half. Now for the tough part. Since she is in process of finishing this job, and trying to ramp up hours at the other job, finding time to see her is going to be difficult. ::sigh::

Oooh, yay omnis!! And clearly "meara-hotness-type-dates" have not worked out all that well for me, seeing as how I'm all single and shit, so...work what ya got goin', I'm sayin'...

Yes, so we are in the same boat. Except for one major difference. You have had hotness in recent times! And there is something to be said about that.

OK, I seem more capable of getting out of bed today, so things must be improving! We're finally at the unpacking stage, upstairs - we have enough furniture built now to be getting on with. (We spent a fortune at IKEA.) I'm feeling cheerier now that we're looking more like a home than a storage facility. We even have a kitchen! We're going food shopping. Woot.

Yay for good date, omnis! I wish you more of those. My Girl and I have to do half-and-half pizzas. It is not an insurmountable obstacle. (Now, the fact that she's a dog person and I'm a cat person... that's a problem.)

Yay omnis for good date having!!!

I slept from 10 to 5:00. I woke up once, but went right back to sleep, and I am counting this as a WIN (even though I am up at 5:30 on a Saturday.)

YAY.

Nora, I'm sorry.

P-C, what a nusance. I hope it doesn't ruin the rest of the trip for you.

Yay date, o-a!

I'm lying on a blow up mattress a my bff's. She has two lovely greyhounds who keep coming in, looking like they're expecting me to do something interesting.

Well, you're typing on the intrawebs. You could be summoning treats.

{{{Nora}}} I'm sorry, dear. This is so hard.

P-C, I'm sorry about your wallet. There aren't a lot of things that would make me feel uncomfortable when I'm traveling overseas, but this is definitely one of them.

omnis, I'm very glad to hear about your date went well. 4 hours of great conversation is nothing to look down at. One of the reasons I despise dating is that for me, it usually ends in an hour and a half of forced conversation (from my side. I'm good with hiding how uncomfortable the situation makes me feel).

Seska, I'm glad to read the house is getting better and hommier by the minute.

Yay for sleep, Erin!

I just finished to rewrite my lecture to ICon. [link] Now, converting .avi. Joy.

Yay, good date, omnis!

Yay for getting out of bed and food shopping, Seska!

Yay for sleep, Erin.

Yeah, I think that's about all I got at the moment.

Damn it! Why is Unemployment so unreliable sending out checks?????

I was expecting to get my check (which was already delayed) THREE DAYS AGO, and it's not in today's mail, either. They're sending me notices about my last form, so I know they got it. But no. Now I get no money until Monday. Grrrrrr.
