Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And my most conservative close relatives spent 2004 trying to figure out from me why the hell anyone would vote for GWB again.
Voter Fraud. Clearly.

ION - I am HAGGLING like a MoFo with the poor gal from Closet World. She has priced out a 94" closet to $1700. I told her I priced out an Ikea option for $500-600. I figured twice as much for custom. I told her if she can get it to $1200, it's a deal. After that, I really don't know. She is on the phone with corprate.

Sometimes I do. This time I am. I told her that my mortgage is $700/mo, you are asking for more than a mortgage payment.

With a AAA discount, they are bringing it down to $1550. Told them I will have to sleep on it.

The sales lady was more amazed that the head office approved it than I was! Wow. I think that is the best haggling I have EVER done.

That mortgage is for 809 sq ft condo. There is also $395 HOA fees per month.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, none of my surviving Aunts and Uncles are on FB, my cousins who I friend on FB either don't care about politics (esp. US politics) or don't talk about it, my parents' Canadian friends are all extreme leftists, and Dad's cousin is a former NDP MP who mostly talks about environmental and health issues.

So it's not about them being Canadian?

Thrive to spite them

I'm not sleeping well, I have no idea what's going on but it's annoying how bad it is and the klonopin is not helping and I don't think a higher dose would help.

But after therapy today I went to the yarn shop so I can start a new project I'm making fingerless gloves for Dad for Xmas. He said they'd be helpful for when he's hunting and needs to load a shotgun. The pattern K picked for me is based off a pair a female character in Twilight wears. Here's the pattern [link] But I think in the brown heather yarn I got they'll look fine.

They are knitted on double points so I'm also learning something new.
