My taxes should be easy. Our mortgage interest is too puny to bump us past the standard deduction. Well, not totally easy because I have to deal with two states.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is the house I want to live in: Shelf-Pod by Kazuya Morita Architecture Studio
This house by Kazuya Morita Architecture Studio in Osaka Prefecture, Japan, is completely lined with with pine shelves to display the owners’ extensive collection of books.
Called Shelf-Pod, the house features interlocking laminated pine-boards that slot together to form the latticed shelving units.
The interior has a pyramid-shaped ceiling and wooden platforms of differing heights that form steps, tables and flooring.
Fucking gorgeous....

Happy birthday, Suzi!

Thanks, Brenda! I had heard that but didn't process that it would affect us.

I used the H&R Block software to do my taxes. H&R is holding on to my electronic return until the IRS is ready to receive it.

This is cool: Chicago Dibs
Urlesque sez:
When you're caught in the middle of an epic blizzard, it's not exactly easy to find a parking space. In Chicago, the few brave people who have dug their cars out are saving their coveted spots using all kinds of weird junk. It's apparently a time-honored tradition, and a new Tumblr called Chicago Dibs documents the madness.
The classic dibs-object is a chair, but Chicago Dibs gives us a curbside view of every piece of random crap imaginable. From the logical (bicycles) to the unconventional (vaccuum cleaners) to the just plain trashy (um, bags of trash), it's all there. Chicagoans, we feel for you, but this "dibs" phenomenon is pretty funny. At least it puts a humorous spin on all that blizzardy gloom.
I like the ones that have threats against anyone who takes the space:
I spent three hours digging this spot out. If you take it, I will spend 6 hours BURYING YOUR CAR BACK IN IT!
