I live in the city, but not the "exciting"* part with the lofts and martini bars.
- This is still Arizona and we are like eight years behind, so, not that exciting.
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My neighborhood is an urban neighborhood, but it's the gay/Vespa/uber-liberal taco district, so it's all good.

I do wish my town was a little geekier. The sci-fi/fantasy section of the library bookstore gets routinely ignored. I saw someone with Blue Sun and Serenity decals on the back of their car, and I was tempted to follow them. Politically, my town seems pretty purple, based on political signage during elections.

I live in a town, albeit a small one. I can walk to just about everything in it if I want to. We're cheek and jowl with a larger college town, and within 30-45 minutes of two good sized cities, so I get the benefits of all that (museums, art house theaters, craft cocktails etc.), but I still have lots of birdsong outside my window. I grew up in a small town, so perhaps the size just feels right.

I was just sitting on my porch yesterday, going "What is that bird? And that one, what is it?" A few blocks away, the first softball game of the season was underway. Kids yelling and screaming far enough away to make it pleasant.

doing taxes. I have more forms than normal and I am sure I am missing something. Currently TaxAct shows me owning $750, which cannot be right. right?
Also? I got something from the IRS asking about my 2012 taxes, so I need to go dig those up and send them in again or something.

Got all your deductions? Childcare, medical, tuition, charitable donations...

We just did our taxes, too. Getting a refund, somewhat to our surprise. I still wish the process wasn't so complicated.

I am NOT organized paperwise, what a nightmare. I have kinda got everything in, but need to gather charity stuff for a real number. Now I am getting a small refund.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Apparently being an adult and going to bed at a decent hour last night meant I woke up at 7:45 this morning. Which I would be okay with, if I didn't want to take a nap now.
