"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I don't think I had a princess phase. I vaguely remember wanting to be Penny from Inspector Gadget, and wow, aside from being captured by M.A.D. agents I guess I have achieved that?

Today was a seesaw of fun stuff and awesome news on one end and "OH SHIT KILL IT WITH FIRE" on the other.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wikipedia let me know that the NPH bell that was ringing was actually a Law & Order: CI bell, not a Homicide bell. I really need to rewatch Homicide.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Is PayPal being weird for anyone else?

Yesterday I gave in to temptation and bought season 2 of Being Human from iTunes. My default payment method there is PayPal. The transaction proceeded, and the download completed, but the payment receipt says "credit card," and no transaction shows in my PayPal account. I don't have a credit card set up for payment in iTunes at all.

And then I tried to register a new bank account for funding my PayPal account, but the two small confirmation deposits still haven't shown up at the bank account.

Am I just being impatient? Or is something actually wrong?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

And then I tried to register a new bank account for funding my PayPal account, but the two small confirmation deposits still haven't shown up at the bank account.

When I did that, the deposits didn't show up in my bank account until the next business day.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Usually mine showed up pretty quick.

Which reminds me, I need to get over there and grab that data for my year end reports.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. You all should. He's awesome.

And it amuses me, and slightly worries me, that he has facebook friends that I don't know....how did he meet them?

Hmmmm. I guess I'm just too impatient then. I'm glad iTunes let the downloads proceed right away, though.

He's a dawg. He sniffed them out.

I've noticed a couple days lag in my bank account posting paid bills even though the vendors I paid the bills to recorded the transaction as complete. Freaks my shit out, especially this time of year when I'm juggling bills and balance. As long as my paycheck posts as it should before my mortgage gets drawn.
