Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I used to have a heavy brass koala (IDEK) that my son and his gf at the time gave me. The boys said they could track me down in a store because I'd hold the keys in my left hand by the bear and flap, flap, flap, flap, the keys back and forth over my hand while I shopped.

Promised sunshine by the weather people, H and I are headed up to Squamish today, where the SPN episode Wishful Thinking was filmed. We've been to Concrete, the putative town in the ep--but not the actual filming location. There will be flickr pictures, for those interested. Eventually.

Wow, that's magic. Although it would be a problem for me here, since I don't have a 617 number, even though I have a home phone!

Yeah, my old apartment I wouldve loved to use my cell, but no long distance allowed. And I've had this cell number for 12 years!

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

Question for the eco-people -- I've got Mac power chord that doesn't work anymore. The kind with the white box thingie. It's got a little symbol on it with a trash can with an X through it, so I know I'm not supposed to throw it out, but what am I supposed to do with it? Is this electronics recycling?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hil - yes, you should be able to include it with electronics recycling.

You could probably just take it to the apple store and they'll deal with it. You might even get a credit or a coupon.

Closest Apple Store is about 200 miles away.

Thanks. I've had a box of stuff for electronics recycling sitting in my living room for a while. Just have to actually remember about it at a time when they're open and I feel like going there.

Art Crawl!!!

OMG - the students have been letting off a giant noisemaker in here. Something like an air horn. I swear my ears are about ready to bleed. And now I'm all jumpy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm avoiding posting scary political stuff, but this quote is more funny/surreal/bizarre than scary.

"Any ad which quotes what I said on Sunday is a falsehood," Gingrich said, amazingly.

Gingrich: Quoting me is lying about me

This is about the Paul Ryan Medicare thing....

eta: Also, Gingrich glitter bombed

A gay rights supporter showered the Republican presidential candidate with glitter confetti in Minnesota

What keyrings do you guys carry?

I have a Fullmetal Alchemist keychain (Alphonse Elric), with my condo keys, my work keys, the key to my parents' house, and membership cards to Binny's Beverage Depot and DSW.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I have two sets of keys: my non-car keys is a brass loopy thing I've had since college.

My set of car keys is actually two sets: a ring with house keys etc., and the car fob and ignition key, both sets hooked onto a tiny carabiner. When I go running in the woods, I stash the house keys and the carabiner in the car, and just carry the car key.

My car keys used to have a little BtVS seal on it, that someone gave me years ago, but one day it flew off when I was pulling them out of my bag, and that was it. It was a nice little fannish thing, very discreet.
