JZ, I have utterly no doubt that if I came to you and said I didn't really feel like I was all that and a bag of chips, you would not think I was fishing for compliments, but would find a gentle and sincere way to tell me how you felt about my bag-of-chipsness.
Happy birthday to a lovely friend who I wish I got to see more often. You're a treasure and a delight, and I am blessed to know you.
Wow, I got a 70 on the color test. I guess I'm kind of colorblind? I thought I was doing pretty well...
Man, the second I started moving those color blocks around, they started looking the same to me. Humbling! I thought I at least could tell colors apart!
On the other hand, at least I don't need a graphical display to tell me where 24 falls on a scale of 0-99.
Doing the test quickly, with tired eyes, I got an 11. I like to think I could achieve a 0 if I took the time.
This evening's adventures in live theatre included a power outage just as the transition between the first 2 acts was complete. Conveniently, the only actor on stage at the moment was carrying a lantern. The real fun is that you never know what won't work after the power comes back on. The hazer worked, but the ventilation did not. And a 5K fresnel with a red gel refused to turn off when it was supposed to. If brownouts continue I may start a pool on which moment in the play we lose power.
Skipping oh-yeah-again-yet-again because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is DavidS's birthday.
Happy birthday, Hec! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Happy birthday, Hec!
ETA: And yay, mom of Cash!
Happy Birthday Hec!
Dear cats, 4:30 AM is NOT the morning. You are NOT getting fed.
::glomps smonster::
Did I say yay mom of Cash yesterday? Because YAY MOM OF CASH!
Hi Cindy!
Happy Birthday, Hec!
Happy birthday, David!
You could tell them no. My dad was the first person I knew who did that. They tried to raise the rent, and he refused. Of course, he was willing to move.
If the building isn't too popular, try negotiating. Can't hurt.
Interesting -- you're right that it can't hurt. I can't figure out their master plan here -- they are doing short-term furnished rentals, but I have no idea how successfully, and they could just kick me out entirely, due to the no-lease issue. Meh.
I got about halfway through the first row on the color test and decided I don't care how good my vision is. Also the colors look completely different depending on which monitor I'm using.
