Inspection is scheduled for Tuesday morning. I’m betting on thousands of dollars’ worth of electrical upgrades required before we could get insurance. That’d be my luck.

“Due to a number of unsuccessful login attempts, your account has been locked…” That number? Two. It doesn’t let me save even my username, which is what I forgot. I remembered on the third try, and I always knew the fucking password. I’m sorely tempted to cut the goddamned stupid card into tiny bits and […]

Our offer was accepted, but still have the inspection, loan approval and moving to go. I don’t know why I’m not more enthusiastic; I like the house, the yard is big enough, and the location is great. Maybe because it’s so sudden and I’d expected to have another couple of thousand as a “moving expense […]

We made an offer on a house today…fingers crossed that it’s accepted, and nobody steals it out from under us. The bedrooms are on the small side, but there are three of them and two bathrooms. Single-story, no basement or crawlspace (concrete slab), but there’s a heated/air conditioned shed, and the yard is not only […]

Four computers: one desktop running Ubuntu 13.04 (which I don’t like, BTW), one desktop running Win 7 Pro, one laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (which I only sorta like…fuck Unity), and one little pink netbook running Win XP Pro. All had been networked in the past because the bulk of the household music lives on […]

Stupid Windows 7 and its stupid fucking “Homegroups”. Networking was bolt-on to begin with and that shit just makes it worse. Homegroups. Really?

Two Silver Jeans hoodies, retailing for $68 each. I paid $18 for one, and $20 for the other. Bought khaki first and loved it–sooo soft, vintage wash and the hood has cool lace lining–so I went back and got it in black!

I read a blurb and thought the book sounded interesting. Okay…I have a snazzy Kindle Paperwhite, so let’s have a look. Kindle Edition is eight bucks. Well, I dunno about that; I read a little blurb, and I’ve never heard of the author before, so I don’t really want to cough up eight bucks only […]

Jesus, I knew I didnt use much talk time–I’m all text and data–but from the look of this, I don’t even need the “phone” bit at all.

My new coat arrived, and although it’s still a bit big around and if the shoulders were any smaller, it wouldn’t fit, the sleeves are long enough and I love it. I still might take it in a bit…not sure yet. I also scored a pair of Guido & Mary jeans for $20 on eBay; […]
